Zhadristan turns around, moves a few step backwards and casts a quick spell. The first of the bugbears, who all are well-muscled, fiercely grinning and decorated with grizzly trophies of previous victims, charges up to Zouhlnor, but misses with his swing has he notes Draezen coming his way. The drow's two-footed attack hits him hard, but despite the ferocity of the strike, the bugbear stands his ground. Distracted by the sudden appearance of Draezen close to it, the second bugbear's aim lets him down as it attacks Zhadristan. Narzen's bolt glances off a shield and vanishes into the darkness above, while the arrows from Talice and Nata'al hammer against the walls behind the battle. Rou'sun's spell ends in a crackling explosion of silvery-white arches of electricity, centred on the bugbears but evading all drow. The effect is less spectacular than the one of the spell before, but all attackers are hit. They growl in anger and almost at once they all seem to grow by an inch or two, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust. First victim of their ire becomes Iira, as the bugbear charging him cleaves him hard (11 HPs). Both brother's attacks go astray, while the female drow at Keth and Malifice's feet slowly recovers her wits.
Nata'al drops her bow and draws pick and short sword while making her way up to the bugbears.
