Gram shouts rudely at the man. Some insult related to the man's armor, most likely.
Malgus winces in pain but then he smiles wickedly and whispers something quietly. Horat and Katra slump to the ground!
He cast sleep on them. They can be woken by taking any damage or if someone spends an action waking them up.
Gram walks up to Katra and rouses her awake."This is no time for a nap, Lady Katra. Resist his tricks."
Halgrin narrows his eyes.
“Guess I’ll have to file that under ‘resisting arrest’.”
Halgrin moves in and attacks twice with his war hammer.

The man deflects Halgrin's first blow with his shield. The second blow, however, lands true and solid, drawing a cry of pain from the cult leader. He grits his teeth and shouts "Baphomet avenges!"
His sword glows with red, unholy energy as he lashes back at Halgrin, landing a blow powered by the Abyss.
Katra rouses Horat and then moves into the room, picking up her hammer before she moves.
Halgrin shakes off the powerful hit with a snarl. He takes a moment to catch his breath, and then continues his onslaught.
<--
Horat gets to his feet, and jogs into the room.
Malgus sneers as Halgrin's weapon misses him. "You got your one lucky strike in, greenling! Time for you to feel my blade again!"
Gram dashes into the room and posts up sholder to sh to Halgrin, facing Malgus. He takes a swing with his rapier.
Malgus snarls and whilrs his rapier at Halgrin again.
But the tenacious half-orc manages to fend off the blow this time!
“I’m just getting warmed up, citizen.”

Gram finishes his move to Malgus () and attacks with his rapier.
Horat continues to advance, aiming to strike at Malgus from the east.
Katra moves up and smashes him with her hammer.
Gram and Halgrin launch their assualt while Horat attempts to land a surprise blow with his halber but none of them can connect!
Katra swings her hammer fiercely at Malgus and it seems about to strike him when Malgus spits a word and a shimmering field of force turns her strike. He then retaliates with an attack against Halgrin.
Halgrin is pierced by the rapier, drawing a lot of blood but not as badly as before.
Halgrin spits out some blood, says nothing and continues to swing his hammer.
<--
Halgrin lands another heavy blow on the leader of the cultists. He shrieks in pain while trying to lift his numbed shield arm "Baphomet will end you!"
Horat maintains his assault, and the observant will see satisfaction on his face as he battles this servant of the demonic.
Katra swings again on the man.
Gramm takes another stab at Malgus.
None of Halgrin's allies manage to land a blow of their own and Malgus continues to lash out with his rapier, stabbing at Halgrin again.
The rapier slices the the orc's thigh for 10 damage.
Halgrin hits the floor, unconscious and dying.
Katra draws and throws a acid flask at the man.
Grimly, Horat continues striking.
Halgrin,No! Gram yells as he unleashes a retaliatory strike against Malgus.
Neither Gram nor Horat can make it past Malgus' armor. Katra seems to be onto something as she forces Malgus to dodge her acid. He manages it this time but it looks like a much more promising strategy. Malgus stabs at Gram and just barely manages to land his blow on the nimble man.
Horat attempts a purely magical assault, lacking flasks.
Encouraged, Katra again throws Acid at him.
Gram Disengages with a Cunning Action and moves behind Halgrin, ready to stabilize him bezt round if needed.
He glares at Malgus and says "I came down here to arrest you, but I won't allow you to cut down a fellow officer and keep your head!"
Malgus' smug smile falters as he takes the full force of both assaults. He steps forward to Gram and swings, but without his confidence. And that lack of confidence turns what would have been a felling blow into a harmless miss.
Katra moves next to Halgrin and administers First Aid.
Halgrin stabilizes but is still unconscious.
Horat makes his grim smile then casts.
Malgus barely manages to keep his feet on the slippery ground.
Seeing Katra tend to Halgrin, Gram continues his verbal assault. You think you're pretty tough huh? All the same, you'll die down here, you psycho.
Malgus smiles and laughs "Liar! You're merely here to let me show off a little!"
Malgus stabs at Katra as she moves away but can't land a blow on the heavily-armored dwarf. He then leaps out of the grease up onto the table and from there stabs down at Gram, ignoring Gram's mocking words this time.
Horat circles Malgus and rushes at him, aiming to drive him back onto the greased area.
Katra again throws Acid at Malgus.
