Ty joins the fray, striking at the duergar with two daggers. The first finds a weakness in the armor (for 11 damage after sneak attack). His second bounces off the dwarf's armor.
Krentz (the human) strikes at Erythro. "Too bad for you I have plenty of self loathing!" His quip distracts even himself, though, and the scimitar finds only air.
Zemk (the duergar)suddenly disappears!
(Everyone may go again in any order!)

I forgot Renaer.
The nobleman strikes with expert precision at the tattooed human. The man falls before the second blow can even land.

Marten takes a shot at where he thinks the duergar went...and misses pitifully.
His blade flashes through this air.
Pretty much! Let's see if Charity, Erythro, or Ty can do any better.
Ty eyes the spots in the room where the duergar can possibly escape to from Erythro's wild distraction and Charity's blocking of one of the exit doors. Sneaking over to a corner, he feels the warm glow of another person where nothing should be. His daggers drive into the belly and neck of the dwarf, leaving the Xanathar thug dead on the ground.

Current map:
Which door were they trying to plug up? I say maybe we take the other door...
Insight check to figure it out

Erythro watches Marten with no hint of expression as the old cleric looks back and forth between the doors. "They were trying to block that one," he says at last, pointing to the northern door.
Erythro nods, "I concur."

Marten follows Erythro.
Between the two thugs, they had 1 platinum piece and 9 electrum pieces.
The duergar had scale mail, a shield, a war pick, and a javelin. The human had leather armor, a scimitar, and a light crossbow with 9 bolts.

That party follows the passage around a bend to the south. Once again they pass under the slow watery sounds of the sewer before climbing some stairs into a large hall.
Threadbare curtains hang on the east wall of the long hall, in the middle of which a muscular half-orc in dingy robes stands with his foot on the chest of a male human with wavy red-blond hair. Fire burns around the orc’s clenched fist, and his victim cries and squirms helplessly beneath him.
Seated on a raised platform to the south is a nightmarish figure wearing black robes. It has large white eyes and rubbery purple skin, with four tentacles encircling its inhuman mouth. It cradles and gently caresses what looks like a disembodied brain with feet.
(I will roll initiative only as needed.)

Can we back up the icons a bit. I would like to go up the stairs super sneaky and slowly. Then when I crest the stairs still disguised as the thug (but now with his scimitar.)
Upon seeing the new room, I slump against the wall to the entrance and cry as if hurt badly "Zhentarim, right behind me!" then ready "my" scimitar as if to sneak attack the "Zhents" as they enter the room.

a mind flayer?! Now serving fresh wizard brains!
Yes. Roll deception.
Hurray! Deception roll of 19!
The half-orc turns around, keeping the human under him pinned. "Well, take care of them," he says with a growl.
The figure across the room stands. "What is it, Grum'shar?" it says in a chilling, unearthly voice.
"Krentz. He says the zhents are attacking us."
The other figure narrows its alien eyes. It mutters an incantation, then raises its gaze to Erythro. "That is not Krentz, you idiot. Kill him. And his friends."
Ok, fudging things a little for simplicity here:
Everyone may go first except Ty and Renaer.
Foes will go second
Ty and Renaer go last.

[I don't know that I want anything to do with tentacle face or his brain. Would I know what a mind flayer is and how dangerous they are?
I'll move just inside the room and off to one side of the doorway (so others can enter behind me) and take a shot at the half-orc. (20 to hit, 9 damage). I'm going to assume that's Floon down on the floor.]
"Step off our frien', you fiend!"

The bolt strikes the half-orc in the throat and he falls to the ground, dead.
