The snarling dwarf in her path seemed to be unaffected by the dweomer Bree cast at him again, his hardness against spells reinforcing his willpower to resist the charm. It did still distract him enough for the sorceress to quickly slip past him, the swing of the hammer coming to late and too lazy from the cloud of sleep-powder to reach her.<br/><br/>Aiming for the escape route she marked, Bree could hear the distang *thwp* of a crossbow going off behind her, only to sense the the impact on the wall next to her pretty head the next second. These guys weren't going to let her get away she realized, but casting her spell slowed her down just enough so the hammer-wielding dwarf could catch up to her. Had she forgone the spellcasting attempt, she could be around the first turn already, but the duergar came charging after her!<br/><br/>Her heavy breathing was interrupted as air rushed from her lungs at the powerful tackle from the back, sending the adventuress onto the ground and knocking what strength she had left out of her, leaving her in a hazy state of half-awareness where she could just make out what was happening but could hardly move or concentrate. Deep down she felt, she knew that this was it. She was the next party member to go missing, her adventure coming to a bitter end. Just where did she make the wrong choice? Where along her path was the mistake that if she avoided she could have went on...?<br/><br/>But the hammer to crush her comely head never came down. Instead she was forcefully turned on her back as the leering faces of the gray dwarves looked down on her and dragged her away into the darkness.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Bree</div><div class="spoiler_body">The duergar saves against sleep and misses with the oppie.

Gameplay wise Bree is stable still (somewhat) conscious but helpless...</div></div>
