"The Bugbear made it safely to a bonfire. I count at least 3 more Ogres and an assortment of Bugbears and goblins too. Vlad is somewhere behind me."A few tense moments passed as Fiddle and the others moved to the gate.. Fextor-Hobgoblin stood in the entryway for all to see. Fiddle ducked into the shadows.  Sully quickened everyone's pace with some magic. Alya sang a tune and focused the magic into one of his arrows. When the Ogres came in range he let fly.Pixie-Goblin-Sully called on his own magic again. A ball of electricity exploded around the Ogres. They charged the gate. One without a weapon and in plain fear of something. Smaller figures closed in from the smoke and haze of the plateau from behind the Ogres. Bugbears and goblins. Grishelm, Alya, and probably Vlad-Bugbear, although no one could see him, fired a volley of missiles at the group. The goblins returned fire at Fextor.The Ogres came in close. Fextor leapt at one of them in an attempt to climb up the things torso. He failed miserably and took a beating for it. He still managed to bring his sword around to return a blow. Fiddle hung back waiting for the Ogres to duck under the mantle and thru the gate. Alya cured the dwarf of some of his injuries. Grishelm fired away with his bow.Sully laid down another ball of lightning, one of the Ogres fell. The other Ogre continued to run. The Bugbears closed into the fray with Fextor. Fiddle still hung back. Someone or something would soon taste Lightning Strike in their back. Fextor and the Bugbears exchanged blows. The dwarf swooned, but did not fall. Grishelm and Fiddle moved to take his place. They struck down one of the Bugbears. Alya made Fiddle disappear. Still the Ogre swung into the area. Fiddle wasn't fast enough to avoid the fore swing; however, he was carried clear of the backswing. Ouch. Vlad appeared at the edge of the battle with bow in hand. He fired into the melee. Another Bugbear fell.Sully fired off some more of his magic. This time at a trio of goblin archers. They went up in flames. Fiddle tumbled between the Ogre's legs. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, ... Stick jab, slice. Fiddle made short work of the Ogre. It fell.The last Bugbear ran back the way it had come. Vlad and Fiddle gave chase. At the same time Sully went after the last Ogre. He didn't have to go far. His flaming bolts tore the Ogre down. Fiddle ran up to, stabbed, and passed the Bugbear cutting him off at the stairs down to the city proper."You are mine," Fiddle cackled."Bring it," the Bugbear hissed . It drew a line in the sand and gestured for Fiddle to come closer.Thump, ThumpTwo arrows sprouted from the Bugbear's chest from behind."What took you so long?" Fiddle asked as Vlad appeared.Vlad just smiled and shrugged.</blockquote>
