The half-ogre in front of Zhadristan draws his arm back to lash out at the drow, who doesn't hesitate and buries his sabre hilt-deep into the creature. Put off by that hit, the axe's swing goes astray, and the magical hammer also hits nothing but thin air. That in turn puts Sheiriya off and her attack cannot pierce the half-ogre's hide armor. The scramble enables Narzen to sneak behind the bulky creature and the drow's strike almost put the beast down.
On the platform, Vezellek emerges from the darkness at it's southern edge, behind the tanarukk who faces Zai'Dizzen's magical whip. The tanarukk she attacked with the spider swarm is still distracted and tries to get out of the nasty creature's reach, moving towards the darkness sphere itself. A grunt takes her attention farther west, as the ogre is hit by Zai'Dizzen's bolt. She looks at D'xau'vrinn just as he's hit by the ogre's might club (20 HP). The drow looks sorely wounded now and manages to get away from the tanarukk by tumbling through the ogre's legs before the orc-fiend manages to wield its axe again. His own attacks lack the power to hurt the ogre though, who turns around to face the drow again. The tanarukk who was attacking D'xau'vrinn before jumps off the dead ogre and moves menacingly around to flank the drow from the eastern side again. The whip lashes out at the second tanarukka on the platform and scores another hit, but fails to grapple the creature. The tanarukk itself lashes out at the magical weapon, but fails to deal any damage on it. On the eastern side of the bridge, Nata'al and the cavvekan appear, the former trying to divert the ogre's attention with a number of unpleasant curses.
*D'x ... you're on 46 HP of damage.
