Out of the darkness to the north a horrific visage appears. It's the morlock, though he looks scrawny for a morlock, his limbs gangly and his arms ending in exceptionally large hands. He's dressed in a cape fashioned out of the flesh of a killed blindheim. In one of his arms he's holding a hammer of stone and bones.
It moves with speed into the room and strikes at Artesia with his hammer. It hits with a devastating blow. It snarls and lets loose with a curse in undercommon.

Igbork rains down arrows, but all of them sadly miss the morlock.
Artesia makes her way out of the room and heals her wounds with a healing spell.
Haitih strides forward and lets loose with a couple of attacks on the morlock. the first one hits, but it is able to dodge out of the way of the second attack.
The morlock lets loose a pained expression as Fenris jumps at him and gets its jaws around its arm for a second.
The morlock snares at you, and lets loose with his warhammer at Fenris and the wolf makes a pained yelp as it is hit. It then lets loose with its other hand at Grom, one large fist grabs Grom by the throat and starts strangling him. You can see him wince in pain from the nettles that is suddenly extending from Grom's body.
Trigger The morlock hits a Medium or smaller creature with his fist Strike; Effect The creature is grabbed, and the morlock begins to strangle the creature. The creature is suffocating and can't speak as long as it's strangled. This prevents it from casting spells with a verbal component or activating items with a command component.
Rules for suffocation: You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier. Reduce your remaining air by 1 round at the end of each of your turns, or by 2 if you attacked or cast any spells that turn. You also lose 1 round worth of air each time you are critically hit or critically fail a save against a damaging effect. If you speak (including casting spells with verbal components or activating items with command components) you lose all remaining air. Which means you have 6 rounds of air Grom.
And you are all up again:

Another flurry of arrows rain down from Igbork and the first two arrows hit their target. The morlock screams in pain as two arrows stand out from his arm and shoulder.
Artesia call upon her deity as she lets loose with a spell. The morlock takes the hand not holding on to Grom and grabs its own head, obviously in pain and disoriented.
Haitith is able to take advantage of this disorientation and with a well aimed attack at the creature’s throat he is able to fell it. It lets go of Grom as it falls unconscious to the ground.

"Sure," Koram says with a laugh before turning to Grom.
"Are you ok, brother? Let me see about patching you up, if I can."

In the morlock's satchel you find various supplies to make snares. You also realize his hammer has a magical rune attached.
The morlock came from the north, where the cave opens up a bit more and contains an unusual pile of objects about two feet high. Three stacked rocks make the general shape of a frog’s head that has two round rocks for eyes. Chalk drawings on the rocks give the frog’s mouth jagged teeth and make its eyes seem large and staring. A skullcap with a candle on top rests on the frog's head. You are also able to realize the skullcap is giving off a magical aura.
By the rocks you also see a small amber stone with what looks like a feather inside. It is also giving off a magical aura.
To identify the rune it takes a DC 16 Arcane, Nature, Ocuult or Religion check.
To identify the skullcap it takes a DC 15 Arcane, Nature, Ocuult or Religion check.
To identify the feather in amber it takes a DC 18 Arcane, Nature, Ocuult or Religion check.

"Ah, yes!", Grom cries out excitedly.
"Artesia, Igbork, Koram. Watch this". The Druid slips the skullcap on his head and starts dancing - hopping, kicking, and shuffling his feet occasionally interupted by the violent shaking of his head to correspondingly light and extinguish the flame.
