All Liam can do is shrug. There is no time to see to the bard right now, hopefully the spell will fade with time.

He hurries down the corridor looking for signs of passage.
 

"We go!" Krueger shouts and hurridly stomps to the once hidden stairwell.

"I'll watch over Jaeden." The halfling, Gemble, says worriedly... though, the worry seems to be more about what lay at the bottom of the stairs than the condition of the bard.

once entering the stairwell, you can make out voices echoing from deep down a long corridor and up the stone walled staircase. The words themselves are jumbled as multiple words come echoing to you at the same time but they appear to be orders given by someone as the tone is clear and constant through the blurred words, delivered with authority. However, the voice is decidedly deeper than the Good King's voice.

Krueger seems to be building momentum as if he's going to charge down the staircase.
 

Liam nods absently to Gemble as he follows Krueger down the stair case. He takes more care with his movements. Whoever is down there must know that the dwarf is coming, but there is no reason to announce their numbers.

Just reminders, since it's been so long.

The elf, Sel'Tarien, easily outstrides the dwarf and slips into the stairwell before him, heading down the stairs. Once at the bottom, Sel and Krueger see a long corridor stretching off to their right. There is only the minimum of light coming from the sparcely placed sconces containing everburn torches. The duo follows the hall as it winds it's way along like a snake trail. Liam comes along behind them some distance... and far more quietly. There are a couple of passages that intersect with the hall, but deciding which to follow isn't difficult with the occasional noises, now comprised of laughs and dull thuds.

Suddenly, after turning a bend, Sel and Krueger see an open doorway and a room beyond which is well lit. In the middle of that room you see the Good King Promus on his knees as he tries to get to his feet. In front of and behind the King are two men, dressed as guards, possibly Vile Guards as you so recently defeated ((Yeah, recent... in game, but no RL)) Behind them all, from your vantage point, you see Dean Belhander, the King's Vizier grinning as one of the guards kicks the King back to the ground. He laughs and looks up seeing the elf and dwarf. With a smile, he says, "They're here."

With that, one of the guards takes a step toward you, reaches out and slams the door shut. The last thing you see is the face of the King look your way, face bloodied. He looks about to shout out something to you when the door slams closed between you.
 

Liam comes up behind the others to find them standing at a closed door. He steps back from the door and gestures for Krueger to attempt to open it.
 

((I was waiting for another response, but maybe everyone was waiting on krueger))

Krueger grins as he starts to charge the door, compliying happily with Liam's direction. The door crashes open as the bulky dwarf plaughs through it. But no sooner does he burst through the door than the two guards cut into the dwarf with their swords, as well, 3 crossbow bolts appear in the dwarf, apparently shot from the sides of the doorway. Krueger howls in pain as the battered door is slowly being repositioned, though rather unsuccessfully as it is well abused by the rush of the dwarf.

Those with sharp senses, note that King Promus and Dean Belhander have moved to the far side of the room.
