"For Pelor!" Theodoruk shouted as he kicked down the door. The dimly lit room which confronted them was not inviting at all, filled as it was with filthy were-rats. Zackar and Miramar quickly dispatched two of them as the warriors entered the room. Valaris, Theodoruk and Gaav moved forward to establish a bulwark against their foes, but their hasty plan fell apart almost instantly as the were-rats exploded into activity, turning over furniture as they raced to flank the party. From behind the bonfire, a pulsing orb of energy streaked across the room and smashed into Miramar with a thunderous boom, knocking him and Zackar against the corridor walls, dazed. The ratmen swarmed over all of them clawing and biting, Miramar was borne down slashing and cursing. Zackar disappeared into the Feywild and appeared suddenly in the middle of the room. Following after him was a terrible forest of flickering green flames, burning the ratmen, showering them in scorching foliage. More Lycanthropes entered the room from behind trapdoors and tattered tapestries and Zackar was overwhelmed, even as Valaris, Theodoruk, and Gaav slashed and blasted wildly about, leaving corpses in their wake. Ephram's beady eyes narrowed and he bolted from the room with the remaining heroes in hot pursuit. The WereRat captain escaped under the cover of a deadly trap filled room occupied by a goblin hexer and his mechanical guardians. "For our fallen comrades, Where is EPHRAM!!" shouted Theodoruk as he charged forward, only to be slashed to pieces by swinging pendulum blades and devoured by animated dogs. The creatures lasted a few minutes against the rage of Valaris and Gaav but the outcome was never truly in doubt. Valaris gazed in confusion at the remains of the Paladin, "How.... how did this happen? What will we tell Durin?" "We must honour them as warriors" replied Gaav, as he licked his lips at the thought of the magical bounty his "comrades" carried. He chuckled to himself as he considered a few "Ancient Dragonborn Rituals" he would perform, all under Valaris's naive attention. Gaav loved fresh halfling and his patron would be pleased.
