With Krentz lying motionless on the ground, Griffdar squeezes through the door and goes to the other side of the room, where the duergar stands. He takes a strike with his greatsword at the remaining gang member in the room. The Duergar takes the hit, and cries out something none of you can understand. He pulls out his war pick and gets ready to act.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Tyrus curses the strange dwarf in dwarvish this time, saying, "Oi, short arse, ye left ye troos down in the mine, and I can now see why the lassies don't be liking ye." With this as the verbal component of the spell he casts the [spell[vicious mockery[/spell] cantrip at the remaining enemy hoping to disadvantage it against Griffdar. [Spell save DC 12 against Wisdom saving throw; 2 Psychic Damage + disadvantage against his next attack.]
He will then go and pick up his hooded lantern and bring it into the room, where he will open it up so the others can see properly. [OOC: I believe Tyrus is the only one in the party with any sort of low light vision.]

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Yep, going to do that now.
Save against Vicious Mockery: 16 (OOC: Forgot advantage, will roll it again here quickly: 14 - things stand)
Tyrus' words hit the duergar hard, making it take a moment to think. The duergar growls in anger and doubles in size, pushing up against Griffdar as he does so.
OOC: Everyone can post now, will continue this once everyone has got back with their next set of actions.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Briga repeats her pattern from moments ago, moving (I think) 2 squares/10 feet into the room towards the northeast, maintaining 10 feet of distance between herself the dwarf antagonist, attacks once with the Attack Action and attacks as a Bonus Action using the Polearm Master feat, the moves back one square/5 feet to stand 15 feet away from the Dwarf with her remaining movement.
17 - First Attack
11 - Slashing damage if 1st attack hits
8 - Bonus action attack
7 - Bludgeoning damage if the Bonus Action attack hits
[OOC: The following will be done if the duergar is still up.]
Hearing Arlon's call for the duergar to stand down, Tyrus will hold his action until he see what the creature does after being on the receiving end of the savage attacks from Briga and Griffdar.
His held action will be another vicious mockery cantrip (trigger will be the duergar attacking) to try and spoil its first attack [Wisdom Save vs a DC of 12; Psychic Damage: 4 ].
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The duergar, which is now twice the size it was a few moments ago, brings his axe down, as Tyrus casts his held spell as the duergar goes to attack Briga
Wisdom Save from Duergar: 13
The Duergar seems unaffected by the words that Tyrus says, though he does take some offence at them.
He then continues to swing his war pick down on Griffdar, as he came charging in.
Attack: 18 Damage: 12
Taking a swing, his large form able to come down quickly enough, giving Griffdar enough time to dodge out of the way of the blow.
(OOC: Waiting on Arlon only, will wait three more days then will bot this round to keep things moving)
(OOC: Briga and Griffdar prior attacks took place after Arlon's attack - your prior attacks have yet to be processed and we are still on the same round, your two new posts will be in the next round of combat, this is continued from after the previous batch of posts as we were only waiting for Arlon before I continued posting :P)
Arlon lets off a firebolt, which the duergar doesn't seem phased by as the spell just misses him, hitting the wall behind him near the stone door he had been barricading before you arrived.
Briga then attacks the duergar from behind Griffdar, and scores a hit on the duergar, bringing him down.
(OOC: Griff's and Briga's last posts are not necessary).
With the duergar on the ground, there are two doors on the eastern wall. One on the northern corner which has been barricaded with furniture on this side, and one five foot away from the southern wall, which is accessible easily.
"Arlon, Tyrus, Griff, what do you think? They've got this door blocked up. Weird way to keep a hostage, but it's possible. Or we could try the other way," Briga quietly confers with her allies.
Arlon goes to search the bodies. Going through quickly. He is looking for signs and notes but will put aside, on the floor and next to the bodies, any money or valuable object.
Tyrus, who is still worried about the unaccounted for goblins who use this room for sleeping, cautiously approaches the corpse of the duergar; he's heard lots of nasty things about these dark dwarves.
[OOC: DM, What Tyrus does next will depend on how you run NPC death in this campaign. Was the duergar killed immediately by Briga's blows, or is he making death saves like a PC would? If he is making death saves, he will do the following (spending 1 use of his Healer's Kit):]
Tyrus uses his healer's kit to stabilise the duergar. While he is doing so, he says to the others, "If I can save this bastard, we might be able to find out where Floon is really being held, I doubt it is here."
[OOC: If the duergar is already dead, he will do the following:]
Tyrus spits on the body of the duergar and then goes back to the entrance they entered through to keep an eye out for the missing goblins.

Arlon swears when he sees the Dwarf double his size.
He casts Firebolt once more. Attack: 11 Damage: 4 fire

Briga repeats the pattern of movement and attacks for a 2nd time against the dwarf.
11 -1st attack
