Unfortunately, Isabella broke down the entrance to the third floor area so it can no longer be secured. Brand did manage to wedge pieces of broken lumber underneath the door to the second floor stairwell entrance, but it has no other lock mechanism.
Kazkaz seemed intent to follow you out of the tower as you continue downward but he suddenly stops just outside the tower and tilts his head. As if bidden by a silent command, he crawls back into the tower disappearing in its shadows.
You arrive at the gates of Absalom with the sun still high and not trouble. The guards greet you mechanically, but otherwise leaves you alone, despite the scratches and patches of blood upon your clothing. The group immediately heads to the temple for healing.

Brand flips a coin up and down as the group walks, occasionally stopping to pick it up after missing the catch.
As they approach the tower, he puts the coin away and pulls out his morningstar and a piece of jerky. He begins to fiddle with the jerky in the expectation that the lizard-dog will come greet them.
After arriving at the door, he is visibly disappointed as he puts the jerky back in his pocket.
"Well all, back to it? Are we ready?
The group will find the altar room still empty and in the same state that they left it. There are no other doors in sight.

"Maybe if we see the cute thing I can try and tame it? Its shock wont hurt me as much?"

As Isabella opens the door to fourth floor, which was unlocked, light from Brand's morningstar spills into the room. Inside, you see three more lizardmen asleep in old and worn beds with their clubs and javelins lying unattended on the floor next to them. The one in the southern wall stirs due to the sudden light as Isabella opens the door.

The one awake does not seem to care what you said.
"Awake my brothersss!!! For Tasskar!" shouts the one with the broken hand (right-most position).
The stink of the troglodytes begin to fill the room as they ready themselves for battle.
While Brand steps back, ready to attack the others, the first troglodyte jumps at Ashen who had a ready short spear just to rebuff it.
The troglodite's touch scales brush it aside as it attacks Ashen in a flurry of claws and teeth.
The two claws was enough to distract Ashen for it to bite onto her upper left arm.

(success)
The sting of the scorpion goes unnoticed by the waking guard. It crawls back as soon as it can and hides under one of the beds. Elsabeth's attack misses horribly and hits a bedpost.
Isabella moves to strike the other Troglodyte who was still lying down.
Her stab leaves a deep wound at the Troglodyte's side who writhes in pain!
Meanwhile, the Troglodyte next to Elsabeth stands up () and snaps at her.
But it barely reaches Elsabeth who leans back gracefully to avoid the attack.

With her bladed scarf still at hand, copper whips it about as she moves beside Ashen. With a foot on the bed, she brings it around against the troglodyte with a broken hand.
The scarf harmlessly scrapes across the troglodyte's hard scales upon its shoulder. The last troglodyte, mad with rage from what its companion said, finally attempts to stand up (), and snaps at the only person beside it.
Isabella easily to dodges the wide bite from the large lizard in front of her and smiles while she moves as the thrill of battle envelopes her being.

Brand and Ashen keeps trying to hit the troglodyte but it moves just fast enough to expose only its hide with thick layers of scales. Completely ignoring their weapons, this troglodyte immediately retaliates against the sorceress.
After its first attack slashes through Ashen, she leans as far back as possible from the attacks despite the pain in her bell squeezing out a grimace of pain from her.

Isabella delays as a piercing wound is inflicted to the Troglodyte on the western wall by Elsabeth, who retaliates immediately.
However Elsabeth was completely ready this time and dodges all the attacks with ease. Encouraged by her companion, Isabella attempts to bring down her foe...
With a well placed slash, her enemy nearly falls unconscious but manages to catch himself ().

Tams leaves a very deep wound against her enemy, but it only hisses at her despite its numerous. It looks very weak however.
The staggering Troglodyte lashes back at Isabella in fury, despite feeling very weak but wanting to bring her down with it.
It's unsuccessful as Isabella dodges with barely a look, allowing the creature to collapse next to her, who starts to bleed due to exertion.

Brand and Ashen both miss their attacks due to uncanny movements from the troglodyte, drawing their attacks in one direction before dashing to the next. It completely ignores the flimsy ray that passed next to it and focused on the more dangerous foe next to it.
Brand's defenses seem to much for it however, one claw was swiped away by his morningstar and another clangs dully against his armor. His bite was so slow, perhaps due to the pain he now feels from the wounds, that Brand could have stuffed its mouth with a morningstar if possible.
