While Tarquin quickly crawls into the adjacent room, Eskard dashes across the taproom and grabs hold of the merchant.
Bazrim's spell transforms the warrior into a giant.
Erdolliel protects herself against the coming onslaught.
Kushnak attempts his spell again, but, again the merchant shrugs it off.
The merchant manages to press his short sword into Eskard's flesh.
Nethezar fires bolts from his new wand at the merchant.
The crowd converges on the party, but most of the damage is only superficial.
