With the threat of the Brain Dog out of the way, and all but Zemk down, Yazara rushes are the dwarf. Both he hope to have find the back of the dwarves thigh and calve, taking the last of the fight out of him. And maybe the ability to run anytime soon as a bonus. "No. No. No. You stay awhile, friend." He says hollowly.
(Main-Hand)Attack:22 Damage: 6.

Cloudfur casts Shillelagh, runs in with his quarterstaff and cracks it right across the back of the dwarf's head, inflicting 8 damage.
Sizan jumps in and slashes him across each of the back of his legs, completely severing his tendons. Blood pours from the wounds as the dwarf falls frontwards on his face, unconscious.
You look up through the open doorway, and see another large room. In the middle of this otherwise empty room is a stone pillar carved with a small symbol: a perfect circle with ten equidistant spokes radiating outward from its circumference. In the middle of this circle is a smaller circular indentation that bears a passing resemblance to a lidless eye. What you do not see is the Mind Flayer.
You appear to be alone and safe, for the moment. Dori is still currently standing in the middle of the first room, staring at the wall blankly.

Sizan Sidrosin
Sizan flicks his blades off to the side, removing the blood. Without entering the room, he examines as much of it as he could while sheathing his sword, and then turns to regards the others. Seeing Dori remain in his stupor, Sizan looks to the fallen brain dog, and appeared to grimace. But, he says nothing of it before moving over to Floon. "You're friend, I presume, milord?"Yazara asks of Renaer without really looking at the man. And after receiving an answer, he nods and starts bandaging up Zemk's wounds.
"One of you will need to guide the grey one around until his capabilities can be restored... Which I imagine will be an expensive ordeal, 'less milord wishes to chip in some manner."He comments. At some point during the patch up process, Yazara roots around Zemk's person for anything noteworthy, pocketing it potentially, and then binds him up with his remaining rope after removing any weapons on his person. Only afterwards, unless stopped by the others, will he start dragging Zemk over by the goblin.
Investigation: 23. (if necessary. Sizan is gonna try to be as thorough as possible, even if it means going slow at it.)

Cloudfur
After whacking the dwarf with his staff he'll hop back and forth on his feet and giggle. Once the dwarf has fallen to Yazara, he will turn his attention to Floon.
(what is Floon's condition? does he look hurt? if so Cloudfur will cast cure wounds on him for 8 hp)
He will then stop, sniff the air a bit and begin searching the half-orcs corpse for anything useful.
Renaer walks over to Floon, and helps him slowly to his feet. His is battered and bruised and struggles to talk. Cloudfur's healing spell appears to provide some relief and he walks over to give the cat a big hug. "Thank you .. to all of you. How did you find me? Nevermind I don't care I'm just happy to be out from underneath that bloody orc's foot. They thought I was you Renny! They kept asking me about some stone and some hidden cache of gold. Well I don't know any of that but they wouldn't believe me and just kept beating on me. I didn't know what to do.. I thought I was a dead man! I tell you what I know I've said this before but this time I mean it .. I am NEVER drinking again!!"
Yazara patches up the dwarf and searches him, but finds nothing of value on him.
Renear adds: "If we can get your friend to the Temple of Tyr, I'm fairly sure we can get one of the Cleric's there to help. Does he walk if encouraged?"
As Floon hugs him he starts purring rather loudly and his tail swishes back and forth. Then after he finds the spellbook he walks over to Gargan and says
"Perhaps you might find some use in this spellbook? My magic comes from the plants, and the animals and the earth....." and shrugs then he hiccups and suddenly there's a giant weasel standing before you looking confused....
then....a moment later the weasel is gone and Cloudfur is back.
"Well.....that is....um......new" then he smiles and giggles and looks down at his paws.
Assuming the Tanzier will allow the wild shape in to the giant weasel hehe

Sizan Sidrosin
Yazara at this point has dragged Zemk over by the unconscious goblin, and set him up sitting straight up against the wall. After fiddling patting down his person a few times only to curse in that other worldly tongue again, he non-too gently shakes Zemk back to consciousness. Before the dwarf can fully gather his senses about him, Yazara has the curved dagger usually sheathed behind him pressed against his neck.
"Easy now, easy. And yes, I know it hurts, but I just have a few questions for you friend." He says politely. "Consider the blade only a... temporary precaution. You understand, I hope. And once I have my answers, we can see about getting you properly sorted. Be it through healing, or a quick death. Your choice really. I know just how much a dour lot you dwarves can be when it comes to these sorts of things."He tries to persuades. If Zemk agrees to talk, Yazara lowers the blade, but keeps it in hand just in case.
If proven amicable, the below is the follow-up questions:
"Let's start simple, shall we? What's your name, friend? And how did you get mixed up in all this?" He pauses for the answer, and then with a faint nod proceeds on. "Next. What was the deal with the half-orc? Who was that tall, dark, and eldritch abomination? Where did he go? And, what are the odds of there being reinforcements coming to this location now that it has been compromised?"
As the battle finishes Gargan moves over to join Raener and Floon. "Mr Blagmar I presume." He says with a polite nod. "Mr Geddarm sends his regards." He then turns to Raener and replies "I think the temple would be a wise destination, let us see what we can help poor Dori here along with. At least if things turn out well this will make for a good tale." He lets out a very gentle snort as he finishes, one that you are sure sounded sad if such a thing were possible.
With that he begins to move over to Dori to see if he can help the Goliath along, but is interrupted by Cloudfur handing him a spell book. Startled by the sudden transformation and back again Gargan quickly readjusts his robe before he replies to the whimsical Tabaxi "Quite the trick you've discovered there friend, most impressive. Thank you, I would certainly like to have a look through this. It may well come in handy." He tucks the spellbook away for his later reading before continuing to Dori to see if he can get the Goliath to follow him with simple instructions or gentle(by goliath standards) pushes.
"Let's start simple, shall we? What's your name, friend? And how did you get mixed up in all this?"
The gray dwarf (which is a Duergar) winces and coughs, "Zemk. Xanathar guild."
He pauses for the answer, and then with a faint nod proceeds on. "Next. What was the deal with the half-orc? Who was that tall, dark, and eldritch abomination? Where did he go? And, what are the odds of there being reinforcements coming to this location now that it has been compromised?"
He gasps, trying ti find a way through the pain. "Grum'shar.. he was Nihiloor's .. assistant. That gateway in there leads to Xanathar's lair. Nihiloor had the key. Could be more coming I don't know".
Zemk struggles to get the last sentence out and passes out again.
Gargan, you try talking to Dori but he is completely unresponsive. He does seem to walk slowly when encouraged in a direction.
Watching Gargan trying to get Dori to move he heads over to help
"Try this....it worked before!" and he pokes Dori in the butt again.
Then he considers the situation for a moment, rummages in his pouch and pulls out a dried chicken foot on a leather strap and hangs it around Dori's neck
"This shall protect your soul through this journey until we can get you help." and will say a brief prayer to Eldath.

Once Zemk fell back unconscious Yazara gave the half-orc, well, what remained of him a grimace. "And with him goes those answers." He looks back to Zemk. "But perhaps not all." He mutters to himself. "If it is all the same to the rest of you, I would rather we avoid going the same way we came, given all the fires." On that note, he starts examining the curtained off areas starting from the one closest to the Dias. All before making his way back to the non-curtained off room. "But not through those double doors. If someone could kindly bar them somehow, that would appreciated." He adds off-handedly at some point during the search.
Investigation: 17. (Same bonus if perception would be more applicable. Also, let me know if you'd need multiple rolls, or if someone will be up for helping. >.>

Sizan you search the room and the 3 smaller rooms. In the main room you find a small chest, which contains two Potion of Healing along with 15gp and 82sp.
You search the 3 smaller rooms. The two southern rooms look like more sleeping quarters (though smaller), and contain nothing of value. The northern room is empty, but upon searching you find a loose flagstone that when moved open up into a rough-hewn tunnel. The tunnel in-turn leads into another small room with a door, which looks like some kind of cellar. This room leads to another room which looks much the same, but also has a set of stairs leading up.
Though you haven't looked, you suspect the way from whence you came is probably un-passable. The room behind the double doors is empty, though you haven't explored it. So you can either explore there or head up the stairs.
Of the coin, Sizan dumps into a spare leather pouch if it wasn't already bound in such, and ties it to his belt. He makes zero effort to mask this, if any are paying him any mind. And if asked, he'd declare the amount, and his intent to share with the interested once the group had made it topside again. But of the two other items, well... (To Be Determined upon Tooltip error being adjusted)
Suffice to say, he takes them as well potentially. Though whether or not it is only for safekeeping, or not... he needed time to think on it. Until then, he continued his search, noting what he could in passing before moving on. More by happenstance, then initial intent drew him to the loose flagstone. Someone had been careless, and it nearly caused him to trip over seemingly nothing. "Curious." He mutters, drawing his dagger as he popped open the tunnel.
Following his initial investigation into the other side, Yazara double backs to the others and says, "I think I might've secured another way out. I will scout ahead, and make sure it is safe. Stay on guard. Though, if you are feeling antsy, kindly drag those two--"He points over to the bound Duergar and Goblin. "With you. Once they have recovered, they can provide more answers to the watch... and others I know would be interested in -- in regards to the Xanathar's recent activity. Perhaps even enough to put an end to their needless bickering."With that, Sizan disappears back down the tunnel, and makes a beeline for the stairs. Though as he close, he takes care to quiet his footsteps, and keep a close ear out for any activity coming from above.

The tabaxi looks quizically at Yazara and then at the goblin and then again at Dori. With a sudden grin, he picks up the goblin and stuffs them under Dori's arm. (If need be we can tie them there hehe)
"Might as well put him to good use!" and he'll giggle

Yazara patches up the dwarf and searches him, but finds nothing of value on him.
Cloudfur, inside Grum'shar's satchel you find a spellbook containing these spells: burning hands, disguise self, false life, shield, unseen servant, and witch bolt. You also find 12 gold pieces, and 16 silver pieces.
