Dulvarna put down her torch on the floor outside the doors, and with her sword leaning against her shoulder, she pulled open the double doors to the side chamber with one hand. Within, four hobgoblin warriors faced a halfling who was crouched on the floor between them and a hobgoblin shaman in clad in furs and a skull headdress.“Intruders!” called the shaman and the hobgoblins turned towards the door just as Dulvarna rushed into the room with her sword held high in two hands now.Dulvarna reached the first hobgoblin and twisted to the left, drawing her blade across the left of the warrior’s abdomen and twisting him around towards her. Light flared from the doorway as Telkya raised her holy symbol and a beam seared into the first of a row of huge tuns against the east wall. It blasted a hole and sprayed dust into the air. Litiraan loosed a silver bolt from the doorway that drove into the hobgoblin’s side and forced it back into the room. Enlishia darted through the doorway, firing an arrow as the came, the shaft flying the length of the room to clatter against the wall beyond the halfling. The hobgoblin drew his flail from his belt and lashed out at Dulvarna, catching her right arm and spinning her backwards against the west wall of the chamber. He snarled and moved forward menacingly as though to finish her.“Kill them all,” snarled the shaman from the back of the chamber as he advanced. “Teach them the price of interfering with Bloodreaver business.”“I’ll look forward to that,” sneered Lavren as he entered the chamber. “Because interfering with Bloodreaver business is precisely what we’re here for.” The elf spat a curse at the first hobgoblin and loosed crackling black energy into the warrior’s side, spinning him away from Dulvarna. Then, with snarls and roars, the three remaining warriors came forward with shields raised and flails twirling above their heads.Dulvarna parried the flail of the second hobgoblin as it reached her and glanced left as Erlmoor charged into the room. His blade lashed out and the wounded hobgoblin ducked back beyond the dragonborn’s reach. The paladin roared and sprayed acid over the gathered hobgoblins and as they retreated, Dulvarna rushed forward, lashing out with her sword. A flail parried her blade and twisted it aside but she tried to recover and drive her blade into the wounded hobgoblin. He turned, sensing the attack and held his flail over his head, two handed to parry the blow. As he stood there, silver bolt flew from the doorway and drove through his body from one side to another before jolting the shield of the hobgoblin behind. The struck warrior opened his mouth in one last gasp and then collapsed to the floor of the chamber. Enlishia saw her chance and loosed an arrow through the gap into the shoulder of the hobgoblin behind the one that had fallen. The shaman shoved that hobgoblin aside and surged into the gap himself, throwing out a hand and uttering a short, guttural chant. A wave of force struck the four companions, hurling Dulvarna back against the south wall of the chamber and throwing Enlishia from her feet and dumping her out into the corridor beyond the doors.</blockquote>
