Big Boy, the owl belonging to Galadin, joins the other birds in attacking the dwarf and the hobgoblin. Each slashes at the enemy before withdrawing with bloody claws. Their targets respond by trying to swat them out of the air with savage looking clubs.
Meanwhile, beneath their feet, Yagra continues to die on the floor. The group is frantic to get to her, but cannot render aid given the ongoing battle. Will she live? A desperate hope from all has them redouble their efforts. Soon they are joined by Lexomel and Fenmyar and their fighting raptors.

The duergar drops his club as the birds withdraw, and steps over Yagra to approach the group. With his evilly sharp maul, he slashes Galadin twice. Ouch! Galdin responds with a Firebolt cantrip and uses a Catapult to fling more rubbish from the floor at the bandit captain. The birds return to swarm the enemies, slashing savagely. Unfortunately Calista’s Nuggies and Fenmyar’s Jeff the Sandwich each receive a sharp blow from the hobgoblin’s cruelly wielded club.

Jakama’s bonfire beneath one of the hobgoblins is expanded by his Control Flame, and the creature now falls ominously silent. Jakama turns to the duergar and casts an Eldritch Blast, striking the creature critically and causing heavy damage to him, but still the duergar continues to fight!
Calista darts past the bandit captain in an attempt to get to Yagra, but is engaged by the hobgoblin, who knocks him prone. Curses! He rolls and blasts a Poison Spray at him, followed by a strike from Galadin. The hobgoblin goes down and now the duergar is fighting alone against the friends and their birds of prey. Galadin decides that the rest of the party has things well under control, and dashes back to see if Paderick, left in a lower hallway, is safe.
Jakama demands that he surrender. Sneering, the dark dwarf turns and darts through the door he came out of. Calista rises from the floor and follows, then thinks better of it as he spies the dwarf waiting in ambush. He gathers reinforcements, and waits.
