"MORADIN!!!" Thokk drops the duergar to his knees with a mighty blow, but Thokk is simultaneously critically injured by the duergar's counter-strike.

Kneeling, Taern, shaken but still feeling the effects of her war chant, sends an arrow straight into the chest of the drow wizard, just as the wizard fires his crossbow at Elthan. Taern is unable to prevent the drow wizard from hitting Elthan in the shoulder, but Elthan fires right back at him. Taern smiles as she watches the drow wizard collapse, pierced by both Taern's arrow and Elthan's crossbow bolt.

Graevic, now at the vanguard, spars with the orc shaman. The orc matches Graevic move for move. Neither is able to overcome the other's armor and defenses.

Linda, still supporting Taern with one hand, continues to chant, channeling soothing, healing arcane power.

Fizahn eyes the svirfneblin warily, then an interesting idea pops into his head. Instead of attacking either the svirfneblin or the duergar, Fizahn pokes his rapier at Thokk. The thin point of Fizahn's blade doesn't penetrate Thokk's platemail, but Fizahn's experiment pays off when he sees the svirfneblin mirror his movement and poke the duergar right in the buttock.

Meanwhile, the female orc has been ministering to the drow warrior who half rises and, in one swift motion, nocks and fires a black arrow directly into Elthan's center of mass. Elthan doubles over, falls to his knees, then topples over onto his side and is still.
