Jack patiently reloads Darling and fires again at the bedraggled houndsman. "Now stay down!" he exclaims as he turns his attention to the other hill giant.
Taking cover behind the corpses of the unfortunate dire wolves, Quinn sent healing to revive Bible, who lay on the ground coughing blood. Eoghan stood to his full height and spoke in a tone that was both commanding and at the same time reassuring, in his deep rumble. The allies were able to rearrange themselves and regroup, while Eoghan sent a loud bang that harmed and disorganized the ogres.
Yet still, out the door they stumbled, shaking their heads to clear the ringing in their ears. The Houndsman yelled, ::Some un go raise d'alarm! Rest of yoo get t'stompin' smalls!::
One of the youths took off at a run. He seemed for a moment to consider going through a door to the south, and then, thinking better of it, ran for the eastern gate. The other ogres charged forward. One reached Valda as Bible retreated, and slammed a club into her shield. The others threw a volley of javelins that rained down around Eoghan, Quinn, and Bible. One struck Quinn in the foot, piercing his boot.
OOC:
Bible is healed 7 & I assume gets up and retreats; Eoghan did 17 to Og2, Og4, & YOg2, & 8 to Og1. Og3 got Quinn for 8 (THP).
Tenibor boldly crossed a bit of the courtyard and cast a spell that made Valda move with haste.
::Ged dat wizzahd!:: The houndsman yelled at the other giant before raising his axe to attempt to bring down Valda. As he did, Jack shot him under the armpit.
For a moment it looked like the quarrel hadn't bothered the giant, who brought his axe down as Valda quickly blocked with her shield. Then a perplexed look crossed the old giant's face. His axe fell out of his grip and he reached up to feel under his arm. He gave one long wheezing cough, and fell forward. Valda (her movements swift with Tenibor's spell) side-stepped as the giant's great bulk crashed to the ground between her and the ogre.
Tenibor did not have time to celebrate their small victory. The other giant rushed toward him, leaping over the body of the fallen giantess. The elf wizard ducked and covered and by a very narrow margin avoided the giant who landed belly-first on the ground beside him.
OOC:
Jack killed the houndsman! Giant2 missed Tenibor & is prone. Just @Shadowedeyes Valda to go to roll the round. If you haven't yet, you can still use Eoghan's Inspiration to move.
Bible feels the grip of her sword resting just under her fingertips as healing energy fills her body and revives her into consciousness. Hearing the strains of fey music floating on the air, she leaps to her feet, firmly holding her blade, and moves away from the band of ogres approaching from the east, putting her back to the carcasses of the dire wolves lying slain in the courtyard.
OOC:
Bible rises from prone and moves to AM-30 using her reaction. Given that we aren't using initiative, does she get to take a turn this round, or is it considered to have passed before she was revived?

Valda sees the giant topple after barely deflecting the giant's axe, and sees Bible slowly rise to her feet. She might not be the brightest, but she could see the problem they were in, as the ogres started to amass outside to the right of her, and to the left the wizard, Tenibor, being assaulted by the last hill giant. Cursing under her breath, she made a decision, charging the giant with her newfound speed, hoping Bible could, and would, retreat back away from the ogres before they overtook them.
With blinding speed, she struck out at the giant, pushing herself to her limits to injure, to fell this lumbering oaf.
Valda turned from the ogres and ran to help Tenibor. In spite of the body of the houndsman between them, the ogre was able to reach her with his club, and he hit her in the back as she turned away. The blow could have crushed a less experienced person, but Valda rolled with it, keeping her momentum moving until she left the ogres behind. She furiously stabbed at the giant, her motions a quick blur that had the giant holding up one of his hands and saying, ::Ah! Dis small is too quick-like!::
