Everyone busts through the door, and they walk into yet another sleeping quarters. This room contains six tattered, straw-stuffed mattresses. On the far left corner of the room, they spot two hostile individuals. One they recognize, the other being a [monster[duergar[/monster]. The other man, is the human Xanathar's bandit from the Yawning Portal that instigated a brawl with Yagra Stonefist. The bald man with beholder tattoos across his head, Krentz.
"Plug the gap underneath the door, Zemk!" Krents barks orders at the duergar, as Zemk is using pieces of furniture to barricade a door. "Don't tell me what tae bloody do!" Zemk shouts back as he's still struggling with the barricade. They both come to a stop when the party barges in. "Bah! You lot again!" Krentz calls out while brandishing his weapon. Zemk draws his weapon as well and they both go to attack.
Morgan is in the front, and has Krentz in melee range while Zemk is 10 feet away.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Renaer extravagantly punctures Zemk with some vicious stabs with his rapier and dagger. The anger fills Renaer inside and he imposes his will on the duergar. Zemk is nearly vanquished already, but is standing wobbly on his feet as blood oozes from his stab wounds.
Krivnaar blinks - and in that blink, the battle is over. He begins to examine the sleeping quarters for items of note, while looking nervously at the crude barricade. "Were they trying to keep something out...?"
Renaer scoffs at the corpse of Zemk. "Duergar's are wicked creatures. They're better dead." he then darts his eyes to Krentz. "We may get in trouble if we kill him, good on you for keepin' him alive." he says as he moves ahead, and looks onto the door that Krentz and Zemk were trying to barricade. "Reckon we should see what they were trying to block off?" he asks the others as he studies the barricaded door.
Rashar holds his crossbow ready, prepared to rush in once Morgan kicks down the door.

Rashar fires the crossbow and the bolt zips between Grykham and Morgan to drill Krentz right into the shoulder.
It now goes to Krentz. Knowing he has two foes between he and Rashar, he cannot retaliate. Instead, he'll swing at Morgan with his scimitar.
DM: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
Morgan is able to move out of the way just in time to avoid being slashed by the scimitar.
It now goes to Morgan.

Morgan brutally smashes Krentz into the wall and Krentz crumbles to the floor unconscious.
It now goes to Renaer. Renaer moves up to the duergar, Zemk and will strike him three times. Two with his rapier, and one with his dagger.
DM: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
Renaer extravagantly punctures Zemk with some vicious stabs with his rapier and dagger. The anger fills Renaer inside and he imposes his will on the duergar. Zemk is nearly vanquished already, but is standing wobbly on his feet as blood oozes from his stab wounds.

It now goes to Zemk.The duergar brandishes his war pick and will retaliate against Renaer.
DM: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
The war pick pierces through Renaer's armor, and into his skin. He grunts as the war pick enters his shoulder and grits his teeth.
It now goes to Mardak.
Mardak expends a spell slot to cast Bless on the three individuals in front of him: Krivnaar, Jarret, and Rashar.

The bolt lunges into Zemk's skull, and the duergar collapses onto the floor. Krentz body is still lying against the wall near the barricaded door.
Combat is over. What's everyone doing now?
DM: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
Rashar suppresses a tinge of guilt as he steps over the body of the duregar. Did he have to die? Who knows.
He turns to his companions. “Alright, we’ve captured one of them. Let’s wake him up and see what he knows.”

Krivnaar blinks - and in that blink, the battle is over. He begins to examine the sleeping quarters for items of note, while looking nervously at the crude barricade. "Were they trying to keep something out...?"
Grykham grabs the rope from his pack and ties up the unconscious duergar. "Ya shoulda busted his skull too. What we gonna do with this one?"
Morgan paces around, working to cool off after his rage subsides. he lets the others consider next steps for now.
Renaer scoffs at the corpse of Zemk. "Duergar's are wicked creatures. They're better dead." he then darts his eyes to Krentz. "We may get in trouble if we kill him, good on you for keepin' him alive." he says as he moves ahead, and looks onto the door that Krentz and Zemk were trying to barricade. "Reckon we should see what they were trying to block off?" he asks the others as he studies the barricaded door.

“Yes, let’s. Moving on seems the best course of action to get out of this foul place as quickly as possible,” Jarret says.

Rashar nods as he glances over at Morgan, still coming down from the rage of combat.
"Let's get this thing open. But, I have a bad feeling about whatever's behind it. I'd recommend everyone to keep their weapons on hand."
He moves over to the barricaded door and attempts to open it.
