Kellen drinks his potion of invisibility and then gets up once he has disappeared. After that - move as close as possible for a strike.
Lym drops a rubbery, suction-cupped piece of spell component back in her belt pouch when Kellen disappears and she determines his next most likely action. The Wizard changed tack, her voice rising in the rhythmic cadence of a summoning spell as she raises her hands in the proper stance of invocation.
Tomaru begins casting Summon Monster IV.
Praxim sends down arrows. They all clang uselessly off the wight's armour.
Does my Agile Feet ability help with not falling down?

Thordak sheathes his weapon, grabs his heavy wooden shield and plops it on the ground, sits on it, pushes himself over the edge of the first step before quickly holding on to the shield straps as he heads down the stairs at a rapid pace, hoping to not kill anyone - or himself for that matter - and yelling, "INCOMIN' DWARF!"

Rhianni begins speaking, a dark tale about the depredations of an army of undead on a frozen village. In the end, the hero wins, but loses his true love.
Tomaru has a 40' move actually.
Praxim continues to try to penetrate the wight's amazing armour, trying just to put arrows into the centre mass.
Behind the undead abomination, the air swirls, darkens, then brightens. A glorious figure clad in bright armour, its head canine but noble, appears behind the blight and swings a mighty greatsword at it.
While the Hound Archon strikes, Lym mutters arcane phrases and passes her hands over herself, summoning up the power of flight!

But it's evil, and his bow should still be holy from his divine bond.
Seeing the archon in place, Kellen reappears on the wight's left-hand side as makes a chop on it hoping to displace any further shots.
Archie the Hound Archon appears next to the undead. He waits for Tomaru to cast Divine Power and finish surrounding Lamatar before attacking with his greatsword.
Greatsword: augment summon, good summon, flank

The Hound Archon summoned by Lym gives Archie a nod, as from one craftsman to another, and a bark in greeting.

Thordak slides with a bump and a clatter down the icy steps, coming to halt just short of the melee.
Kellen and the hound Archie slice into the wight, chips of ice and armor flying about the cavern.
Praxim's arrows hit, embedding themselves in the creature's abdomen.
Lamatar drops his bow and swipes at Kellen with his icy claw, raking the man's chest through his armor.
The chill cold of the grave courses through Kellen's veins, cutting short his breath, and weakening him! A frosty fume surrounds the wight, which he absorbs with an evil grin.
Tomaru steps into Lamatar and uses Desna's grace to fight him.
Morningstar +1: prayer, divine power, flank

As Thordak comes to a sliding halt, he opens an eye and realizes he hasn't smashed into anyone. Grinning, "All right! None of me people are dead! That's good. And 'twas a bit o' fun too!" He then rises and draws his weapon. "Alright...," he looks upon the frost creature with a questioning look, shaking his head, "whatever ya be, it's time ta die - again from the looks of ya," he concludes with a shrug.
The wight's cold sapping blow has affected Kellen's strength - his blows lacking the force this time around to pierce the ice.
Ronnie the Hound Archon, undeterred by his earlier failure to pierce the icy wight's defences, attacks with his full strength once again!
... and snarls angrily when his blade once again skitters off the black, frozen armour.
Meanwhile, Lym hovers well overhead, out of range of the wight's claws, and mutters an incantation. Two sizzling rays of fiery energy shoot down at the undead!

Praxim slows down. He makes certain that he doesn't hit an ally, but knows he'll need a miracle to make a shot through everything.
Having to avoid the cover causes both shots to sail high.
Blades and arrows fly, and Lamatar fights like...well...a Black Arrow. You've seen it before in Vale and Jakardros, and Lamatar was their Captain. In life, the man must have been formidable indeed. But your attacks have taken their toll. The frost wight horror is greatly weakened, and only hatred of the living keeps it going now.
He continues his assault on Kellen, focused on the man.
Snarling, Ronnie the Hound Archon tries again to pound the undead Ranger into properly dead pieces!
Lym curses when she realizes the undead is warded from her fire spells, but she holds back while the warriors whale away at the enemy. Only if they fail to cut the tattered wight down does she unleash another spell.
Kellen efforts continue to be for naught as the cold drain numbs his limbs and makes striking more difficult.
Thordak moves up near the undead and attacks it with gusto.
As he just manages to connect, "HA!" he manages to let out before he gets zapped by the weapon himself. "Blast this thing's got kick."
The hound archon whirls its greatsword over its head, bringing it down on top of Lamatar's frozen helm. There is a 'crunch' as the blade shatters ice and bone, and the force of it drives the wight to its knees. There, Thordak's trident impales the former Black Ranger. For a moment, the wight is held up by the weapon, but as Thordak yanks it free, he falls face down on the floor.
When the surge of the fight ends, Kellen for his part slumps down to examine the body - clearly fatigued from the wight's attacks.
As he checks the items to be found, he asks grimly of all: "So...do we have to drag his whole corpse back or will a hand or head do the trick for his resurrection?"
He also eyes warily to the entrance they came through. "Think those witches will be coming to check on their handiwork?"
Praxim tests the bow, but while the icy burst is nice, he doesn't want to give up his giant bane bow just yet.
What is its strength rating?
Praxim currently has a +1 ring, but he very rarely gets in melee, so if someone else could make better use of it, by all means.
The level of frost seems to fade as Lamatar does, while not completely free of it. The deadly chill lessens somewhat. A simple search of the room turns up nothing.
The icy stairs are difficult, but once managed you face a long, tall passage leading away right.
