Khadmeade and the half-orc meet half-way, at the top of the stairs. The half-orc bears horrific scars across the right hand side of his face, and his right eye is missing. His face, however, is set in a manic grin, and he giggles inanely as he swings a heavy mace at Khadmeade, catching the dwarf across the chest with considerable force. In response, Khadmeade raps the half-orc's arm with his warhammer, but the blow doesn't seem nearly as effective.
Tristan's acid dart flies over the head of the half-orc, perhaps jostled by Bael as he moves to the front. Maya's orb illuminates the room, revealing a vat of slimy fish guts (to the left) and an opening down to the river (to the right), as well as piles of barrels. There is a sound of shuffling from somewhere below. The blond man, meanwhile, has reached the floor below.
