He pushed himself off the table and leveled his wand at the theurge, uttering a curse as he did so. A black bolt of crackling energy lanced out and struck the duergar in the shoulder, forcing her back a step. Telkya loosed a bolt of light that struck the floor near the dwarf woman’s feet and the theurge retreated another step from the enemies before her. Lavren and Telkya advanced towards her seeking to end their battle with the theurge.The thane’s hammer struck Erlmoor’s right shoulder and drove him back into the door frame once again. He staggered but then he rushed at the large duergar again his blade before him. He drove the sword through the duergar’s breastbone and into his heart and the dwarf collapsed to the floor, shrinking as he died, at the feet of the dragonborn. Litiraan moved forward to the doorway and loosed a silver bolt towards the duergar thane only for the bolt to fly over the dwarf’s head and strike the back wall of the chamber beyond the steps.Another bolt of fire struck Lavren as he still lay recovering on the table before the fireplace. He rose and cursed at the duergar woman before loosing a bolt of black lightning towards her. She dodged to one side and the eldritch energy struck the wall behind her. Summoning all of his strength, the elf loosed a second bolt then and this, the duergar was not ready for. It struck her full in the chest and drove her back from the top of the steps. Telkya loosed her own bolt of light from her amulet and then rushed up the steps at the duergar. Her blade glowed brightly as she swung it at the dwarf but at the last, the theurge raised her warhammer and parried the descending sword. Telkya pushed on her sword and drove the duergar back another step while Lavren came forward behind the elf maid.Dulvarna’s eyes opened and she saw at once that the duergar thane stood over her. As she watched, the dwarf stepped forward and slammed his huge hammer in to Erlmoor’s chest, driving the dragonborn back into the doorway. An arrow struck the wall in the corner above the slain duergar and then Erlmoor came forward with a mighty roar. His blade struck out at the duergar, smashing into its ribs on the thane’s left side and as it struck home, white light burst out from the sword blade, invigorating Erlmoor, Lavren and Dulvarna. Dulvarna pushed herself to her feet then, rising behind the duergar thane and as he realised his peril, fear seized Murkelmor for the first time.The duergar woman lashed out with her warhammer and stuck Telkya on the hip below her parry. The elf maid reeled away from her enemy but as she did so, Lavren uttered a curse and black, crackling energy seared through the chest of the gray dwarf theurge and felled her where she stood. Telkya turned towards the battle against the thane and started down the steps again just as Dulvarna rose behind the dwarf. He half turned and ducked left, evading a killing blow from Aecris as the sword descended but the blade smashed through his collar bone nonetheless and drove part way into his chest beneath. Dulvarna withdrew the blade and wove it back and forth in front of her before stabbing it forward into the thane’s side. Telkya loosed a beam of light from her amulet that struck the chair next to the duergar and then he roared his defiance, wreathing himself in flames. He lashed out at Dulvarna wildly but she leapt back and evaded the blow.Enlishia loosed two arrows at once then that drove into the shoulder of the duergar and the gray dwarf began to retreat towards the western fireplace. Erlmoor rushed at him then and slashed his blade into the dwarf’s belly, sacrificing some of what little remaining strength he had to strike a powerful blow. Murkelmor staggered and all but fell and the a silver bolt from Litiraan’s wand seared into his leg. Black eldritch fire from Lavren’s wand struck the mantle behind the duergar and he knew then that he would not escape the chamber. Dulvarna drove her blade into his side and he sank to one knee just as Telkya came to the bottom of the steps. Light lanced out from her holy symbol, seared into the duergar’s side and found his heart. With a gasp, Murkelmor, Thane of the Grimmerzhul fell face down on the chamber floor.</blockquote>
