Eglantine rushes forward, focused on her goal of reaching the noise. After making a quick turn at the corner, she almost runs into a grey-haired half-elf in a long red robe and a blue-scaled dragonspawn. The half-elf looks at her startled at shouts, "Attack from behind!" He's not holding any obvious weapons.

The dragonkin next to him is intently watching the only doorway in this corridor and doesn't immediately notice Eggy before the warning shout. The door is hanging open, but entry to the room is blocked by a thick wall of ice, which a group of smaller dragonspawn, three hordelings with maces and a sneak wielding a longspear, are working to tear apart and it does appear that they are close to breaking through. The blue dragonspwan is holding a bastard sword in one hand and a shield that resembles a dragon's skull in the other.

Eglantine's eyes widened at the scene in front of her. She scanned the enemies. No weapons, the half-elf had to be a cleric or mage. Dragonspawn, the three in front of her looked weaker, she could probably survive an attack from them, and the sneak...well she had to hope they would focus on the wall. The blue one was dangerous though, that sword could do some damage.

The check required for two-legged dragonspawn (sneaks, hordeling, this blue fellow) is actually Nature. It seems curious, but they are Monstrous Humanoids. The quadrupes use Arcane, as they are Magical beasts. Weird, but that's how it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eggy has the same modifier on both though, so no change to the bonus.

Eggy swings wildly as she stumbles away from the enemies' immediate reach. It looks like there's already been a battle here, several bodies of blue dragonbeasts, and hordelings lie in a pile further away. Judging by the bloodstains on the floor they were dragged there to be out of the way.

The hordelings don't pay attention to Eglantine's arrival and continue to batter the ice wall. The outer layer of the ice wall cracks from the first hit and the others damage the second layer.

"Don't order me, elfkin. I am a true warrior, not your lackey to send on errands! But I will deal with this... interruption."

"Go help Eggy, the half-elf's dangerous" Rowan says in between gasps of air.

"Rowan! What happened to you?! No, there's no time. I'll go, but can you heal me? I've taken quite a beating." Vindal's gaze wanders down the corridor.

Small shards of ice still glitter where the wall of ice still stood a moment ago. The hordelings rush through and into the room, disappearing from Eglantine's sight.

Back in the battle corridor Morderca stops for a split second to consider whether to pursue the boy, then shrugs just visibly and turns their blade at Geff. "You then. Do you have courage?", the dragonspawn asks in broken Common and deals a vicious blow to the young guard, but he manages to divert the second blow away from himself.
