Sorin heats the shuffling of boots, but not soon enough to warn anyone. So instead, she tries to intercept the would be attackers in order to mitigate any advantage they may have on her friends.
Sorin dives into a roll toward the figures on the right, striking at both with her quarter staff.

Sorin leaps to the left, quarterstaff spinning in a blur. She takes one in the face, sending a spray of blood across the alcove, simultaneously knocking the blowgun from its lips, then the spinning staff flashes across to strike the other in the gut, causing it to double over briefly with a grunt.
Both of Sorin's opponents respond in kind. The first leaps at her, revealing a wolf-like maw and sharp claws. It bites her shoulder while scratching at her face . The second draws a dagger and latches onto her opposite arm with its bite, also scoring a shallow wound along her side .
The two on the right continue to attack with their blowguns, one at Kraz, the other at Beerg, but the darts strike the stone wall harmlessly.
Kraz attacks the one on him with a snarl..

Kraz springs to his right, hacking at the creature targeting him with a blow torch. It gets its arms up to try to deflect the blows, but still takes some serious damage from the snarling half-orc, including a serious slash to the ribs. It staggers under Kraz's assault, looking badly wounded, and Nilelane scores a glancing blow on it with her icy beam.
Beerg having seen Kraz and Nilelane badly wounding the one on the right and realising he cant reach the one on the ceiling, he turns his attention to the ones on the left laying into the one Sorin has already injured.
Duck Sorin
Beerg steps forward with a failing swing in an attempt to fell of the creature
Sorin hears her companion and follows orders. Dropping into a low stanc, she use Beergs attack as a distraction and strikes out twice at the target of his attack.

If the target Beerg is attacking falls, she will continue her attacks on the other target.
Beerg and Sorin fall on the creatures to the party's left, pummelling them in a furious assault. Seeing their fellow guards dropped, the two that are left try to flee. The one on the roof stays up there and scurries like a robed and hooded spider, reaching the corner and shrieking. The one facing Kraz turns, showing him its back...
On his trun and attacks it again.
but is not doing a very good job..

Kraz lashes out at the creature as it flees from him, but it manages to duck beneath his swing. It reaches the corner of the corridor and also starts making loud noises, though it emanates more of a bleating sound than a yell. Kraz chases after, swing again and again, yet it just barely manages to avoid all of his attacks.
Nilelane's spell creates a visible area of slickness on the roof, and the creature is unable to keep its footing, falling to the ground with a crunch. It lays there unmoving for a moment, before starting to get to its feet.
Beerg turns to see the creature fall from the roof, and takes a few steps backwards and a flailing swing around
Sorin moves over to the remaining enemy and drives her staff down hard. Following the weapon strike, she leaps into the air kicking the creature on the side of it’s face.

Sorin smashes into the fallen creature, and though it grunts in obvious pain it continues to try to clamber to its feet. It then rushes for the corner ahead, ducking under another of Sorin's staff strikes as it does. It reaches Kraz and attempts to manoeuvre around him. This distracts Kraz just enough that when the other creature flees around the corner the half-orc's mighty swing crashes into the wall.
Kraz will try to put down the creature next to him before moving after the other one..
but i guess he is drunk atm..
Bonus action attack
He will move after the other one if this one falls.
The creature dodges Kraz's first swing, but perfectly presents itself for his second strike, which he brings down on its head. It falls to the ground, unmoving. Grinning in satisfaction, Kraz moves up to the corner...
...And sees a worrying sight. Before Kraz is a huge cavern, 160 feet deep and 100 feet wide, obviously expanded from its natural size by skilled dwarven craftsmen and miners. The walls of the cavern carry strange runes, seen in the dim and uncertain light of a smouldering blue-white fire burning in a large brazier that sits on the floor in the middle of the chamber.
At the far end of the cavern is a huge stone dais, upon which stands an altar, obviously a recent addition. On the altar lies a huge white shaggy creature, much like the ones you fought early in your jaunt below the Twisted Tower, but this one is half again as big as those. It also has just recently had its throat cut, and its lifeblood is just now beginning to stop flowing from the wound. Behind the altar, flanked by two more of the huge white-furred creatures, is a female drow dressed in ceremonial robes. As Kraz rounds the corner she holds aloft a plain black staff as she chants in the sibilant language of the drow priestesses. The shaggy beasts roar at the sight of the half-orc, and Kraz can see the still babbling creature fleeing from him towards the only other exit from the room, about halfway along the eastern wall .
Seeing the others stop at the corner and not continue, beerg steps up whispering
Whats going on?
he pokes his head around the corner (room permitting)
Beerg peers around the corner and sees the scene in the huge chamber. As he watches, the priestess cries out Lloth's name and points her staff at the ground half way between the dais and the corner. A bolt of purple light shoots out, and where it strikes the stone floor sprout two huge spiders, their mandibles dripping ichor and their hairy five foot long legs twitching.
"Kraz thinks we got a real fight on our hands!"
He then finishes his movement into the room.
Sorin, after hearing the news of the next room stops and digs through her pack. Producing a healing potion, she then quafs it.
She then begins a prayer to Torm for strength in the upcoming battle. She includes all who are willing and interested in this prayer.
Jack wobbles to his feet and staggers over to Sorin. He gains his balance as he reaches the half-elf.
"Ok, what did I miss? Where are we going?"
Looking at Jack, ”Apparently, we have found exactly what we were down here looking for. The downside is, they seem thave beenexpecting us.

Sorin slams back a potion and moves up toward the corner. Tirrendale moves out into the huge chamber and takes up a position behind Beerg. The shaggy creatures snarl and roar as they charge forward, reaching the blue-white fire in the middle of the room. The cloaked guard continues fleeing into a wide corridor leading west.
Jack moves up slowly beside Sorin, shaking the remnants of the drow poison from his head. Nilelane, seeing Jack awake, rushes into the room and takes up a defensive position. Beerg follows suit, marking out one of the spiders with a spell.
The drow priestess moves up behind her minions, her ebony black staff shining weirdly in the semi-darkness. Her spiders advance, skittering on their spindly, hairy legs. Both clamber over Nilelane's invisible canoe; one closes with Kraz while the other clambers towards Beerg.
Kraz's head leans back as he howls and enters his raging form. his muscles swell as the frenzy takes him.
He lashes out at the spider next to him..
Sorin pulls forth another flask of red liquid and holds it as a toast toward Jack. ”Bottoms up” Smiling, she adds ”I better get in there.” Sorin then heads into the large cavern taking cover behind the illusionary boat and getting a first hand look at the incoming battle. Torm would approve.

Kraz slams into the huge spider in front of him, dodging back as brown-green ichor spills from the huge wound on its abdomen. Sorin quaffs another potion and begins to move forward to engage the enemy. Tirrendale, making some kind of hoarse noise with his ruined throat, charges forward into the spider advancing on Beerg brandishing his warhammer. However, he checks his swing as the spider lunges forward in response, and the two circle each other warily.
The shaggy creatures continue to charge forward, and have just about reached the position of the party.
Jack moves around the corner and takes aim at the hairy spiders attacking his friend.

Jack pops out from behind the corner and fires a bolt at the spider menacing Kraz, but it fires high into the darkness. Nilelane's ray of frost hits the priestess square in her armoured chest, and she grunts under the impact. The conjured spiders, glowing faintly purple, seem to hesitate, their forms wavering for a moment, but the priestess maintains her concentration over the summoned creatures. She does, however, move noticeably slower as she continues to advance.
Kraz continues his assault on his spider, hoping to down it before he faces the shaggies..
Kraz spins in a furious frenzy, hacking into the wounded spider. Three of its legs fall to the ground, shorn off by his deadly strike, and his blade sinks deep into its flesh. It falls to the ground, twitching, its remaining legs curling up tight.

Beerg focuses on the remaining spider, calling down Torm's justice upon it. He steps up, swinging his weapon mightily, and the creature falls back under his blow. It lunges back at him, and its mandibles scrape up his breastplate, almost striking his face, leaving a trail of venom behind, but Beerg's armour and Torm's favour spare him from its bite. Sorin then steps forward, striking first with her staff, then putting her fist through one of its eyes. Her forearm inside its head, the spider twitches madly for a moment, then collapses on the ground.
Meanwhile, the priestess continues to advance, and as she does purple-pink flames spring up around most of your party.
The two shaggy creatures converge on Beerg, swinging their claws at his fire-outlined form. Still, the half-orc paladin manages to deflect most of their attacks with his shield and weapon, but one of the creatures manages to get in close and strike him low in the belly, causing him to grunt in pain as his blood to flows onto the stone floor.
Kraz moves over and attacks a shaggy twice.
and lands two vicious blows!

Tirrendale lashes out again with his warhammer at the nearby shaggy, this time striking a glancing blow on one of its swinging arms. The eight foot tall creature roars intimidatingly and turns to face the dwarf, only to fall back a step under Kraz's furious assault. Kraz's huge blade crashes into its side, causing crimson to immediately stain its off-white fur, then brings down a mighty overhand chop that nearly severs one of its arms. However, rather than fall, the creature begins frothing at the mouth, and it seems to take on an extra ferocious aspect.
