OGRE COMBAT!''He starts playing a fast uptempo battle them, unaware of the approaching ogres.Dane looks confused at the sudden halt of the wagon. Then looking over his right shoulder he spots the ogres. He sniffs the air a bit and confirms that those are indeed ogres. He draws his axe an hops down from the wagon and makes his way toward the ogres shaking his weapon in his direction.  Git movin' ya stink rags! I'm tellin' ya once cause 'm a nice dwaf! Any ting else, n' my axe be doin' da talkin'  [sblock=Actions]Minor: Draw axe Move to L6. Standard: Ready action to charge Ogre2 at P3 if there are any attacks against Dane's allies.

The player chooses how the two creatures use the actions  on the adventurer’s turn. Most commonly, the mount takes a move action  to walk or fly, and the adventurer takes a standard action to attack.  The adventurer and the mount also share a single immediate action each  round and a single opportunity action each turn. If the adventurer  dismounts, the two still share one set of actions on that turn, but have  separate sets of actions thereafter.This is from the Erratta, found <a href="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/updatesarchive" target="_blank">here.</a> I was not looking at this when I made previous statements about mounted combat. It is pretty different than the original text.[/sblock][sblock=OOC] Wow, got a big turn here.  Check this out.Minor: Summon Magma Beast in D2Standard: Winged Horde in Q3 targeting 2 enemies<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2557890/" target="_blank">1d20+9=29 (vs Ref) CRIT</a><a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2557890/" target="_blank">1d20+9=29 (vs Ref) Double CRIT</a><a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2557890/" target="_blank">1d6+4=10</a> (+2 from destructive wizardry) psychic damage, and the target cannot take opportunity  actions until the end of your next turn.  Also due to Magma Beast they cannot shift until the end of their next turn.Move: Horse walks to E10:F11Intrinsic Action: Magma Beast attacks Orge <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2557891/" target="_blank">1d20+9=14 (vs Ref) for 1d10+6=15</a> (fire damage) and takes 5 ongoing fire and is slowed (save ends), Georg is also slowed TENT**all hit**[/sblock]Hearing the trouble before seeing, the warforged peers around the wagon to see the incoming assailants. He clenches his fist around his released implement, sending a dark shadow over the approaching ogre. Soon afterwards, his dark sorcerery slams into the monster.[sblock=OOC]Minor to draw weapon/implement; minor to curse C2; <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2558270/" target="_blank">EB vs C2 (Ref 27, 14 hp)</a>[/sblock]Raiyek, watches as his allies attack even after Dane gave fair warning. There was something about their murderous look in their eyes that spurred him out. He leaps out of the wagon and charges in, but in his haste he trips himself up.One of the humans reaches down toward the magma beast, and digging in with its daggers takes a large bite out of its side, consuming it in part. You relaise that this can be no man and its veil is distorted. Soon you see that both men are orange skinned devils, with massive claws and huge mains of hair.Waisting no time, the other Oni lunges at Rurdev while he is surprised, ripping a bit off his arm and consuming it as well. The ogre's follow up, and Dane takes the blow through his shield but Raiyek is thrown back. Suddenly behind Georg a gust of wind takes shape. A scrawny, green, three eyed creature appears leaning on a small metal staff. It open its maw to reveal a row of jagged rotting teeth. The smell is enough to take Georg and Incarnation away from things for a moment.Not seeing this new threat from his side of the wagon, the Warden charges forward to assist Rurdev and Dane. Seeing the tight space, he quickly dismounts and draws his sword."Damndable Oni!
