Halara Moves to the end of the room, leaving enough space for the ones up front. She is barely able to make it there and deliver a thrust with her spear:
!
Val will use a swift action to make her cestus magic.. She will then cast shield on herself using spell combat and last she will step up and take a swing at him..
As Thorst rushes in after receiving some help from Avarshinal he can see the monster move around, and slice Nau with it's claws. Nau recoiling back casts a spell that helps protects Valkyrie from the monster.
Halara swings her fauchard in retaliation, and connects, but she cannot see any effect from her swing. Golradir tried to cast a spell but got to caught up in avoiding claws, so he lost it.
Valkyrie moves up, and swings at the creature, but she misses due to the things lightning reflexes.

Irori must be smiling on his priest because first he resisted the venom of the viper and now the disease of the dead.
Calling on his god for further aid, Nau casts Enlarge Person on Thorst.
Thorst attacks the creature with all his newfound might.
Unfortunately the surprise of being enlargened throws off his aim.
The creature hisses in delight at the half-orcs miss before turning back to the magus in front of it.
But her skill, and armor are too strong as one of its claws misses, and the other scraps off her armor. It then moves back towards the corner eyeing Halara evilly.
Golradir Draws his bow and quickly follows with a notched arrow, letting it loose towards the foe.
The arrow clipped the figures shoulder, the slightest of scratches.
"Use the magic you brought to bear against the viper and the maggots," Nau advises Golradir.
"Seems that may be a better alternative, I can't say that I have any experience with fighting. Books have been my primary opponent the past few years." Golradir said in response to Nau's guidance.
"No doubt they found in you a fearsome foe. This blasphemer is resistant to all but magic and silver."
Halara watches the creature's stare without flinching. He was still too far and in her reach. She attacks the creature swinging her weird spear sideways.
"Come face me then, and you shall rest in peace."
Val steps up and attacks the creature again..
But again just cant seem to get through its defenses..
"You have forsaken your faith and life. There is no place here for you."
Thorst brings his falchion down with a mighty swing empowered with his rage.
!
While many of the current people in the room can't seem to hit it Halara helps them all out by nearly decapitating the creature with one swing. The thing still stands, but barley. It also appears that Goldarir's arrow didn't do any damage to the creature's rotten flesh.

"Master of Masters, hear you vessel and perfect my broken body."
Thorst takes a swing at the masked figure.
But his new form just isn't helping him out, and his swing goes wide.
The creature sensing an opening shifts forward, and attacks Thorst.
One claw hits Thorst opening up a wound that he doesn't seem to feel.

With the creatures strike Valkyrie steps up, and slices the creature to pieces.
"We should take the corpse of this thing and burn it, so that it does not return. It has defiled the house of the gods. I would like to rest here for a bit and pray."
"Rest in pieces, fallen dwarf."
Halara approaches the creature and pokes it with her spear, checking if it's really dead. She looks around the place for anything worth of note.
"I'm not too familiar with the ways of the divine, but would it be possible to purify the defiled? Possibly do something to wipe the transgressions of this obviously fallen dwarf."
He looks down at the body quickly, seeing if there are any lingering evidence of a possession of sorts.
"If not, I think that burning it is always a go to method for purification of evil...At least from what I have read."
Thorst now looked around at every one being half his height. "How long will this magic last? We should burn him."
"There may be a way to sanctify it, but we should start by cleaning it, and removing his physical presence. Restoring its holiness will be a way to give thanks to the gods for our delivery."
Halara gets suddenly confused as for the reasons they want to do all that.
"Can we spare that much time? It's not us who need redemption, and the dwarf has clearly lost his faith. Let's just remove the body from this temple and get on our way, so we don't lose too much time. It is not useful if no one uses it everyday to pray."
"I need to rest to recover my prayers. Our injured companions need rest from the trauma they have undergone. This defiled place needs to be purified. We need to give thanks for our deliverance. Futhermore, this is a defensible place to do the first two needs."
There is a dusty warhammer lying on the ground.
The dwarf's body has a ring, and a pouch on it that might hold something.
The entire shrine still faintly detects, but the only other thing is the pouch from the dwarf.
Nau reaches down and picks up a pouch off of the dwarf.
"It glows in my sight."
He then begins to drag the undead body out of the shrine.
Thorst waits and about a minute later he returns to his normal form. He goes over and picks up the warhammer seemingly lying forgotten and inspects it. Then he walks outside to the three waiting are. "We might rest here for a bit. I will help you inside."
Halara stops for a bit, then asks the group if anyone is wounded.
"Is anyone hurt?" If anyone is she will check the depth of the wounds.
Then she takes a quick look at the Warhammer Throst picked up to see if it's worth anything, and after she gets the ring.
"And what's in that pouch, Nau?"
"I don't know. It shines with magic." The priest will toss her the bag.
Approaching the blinded wizard, Nau will inquire, ""Sir, can you make fire? We vanquished a blasphemous undead, and I thought we should burn the body, and let you rest in the temple for a bit."
