Maybe it was a silent prayer or plea on his behalf by Bernedette or maybe it was Torm’s blessing. But Bartol was lucky. His gauntlet grabbed a rope, his rope, dangling over the edge. The full force of the halt nearly pulled the grapnel free, not to mention Bartol’s shoulder. But at least he was alive for the meantime. His life’s blood was still flowing freely from the gash the Ogre had delivered.Thane stepped to Bernedette’s aid. He planted a solid blow on the side of Grekk’s head. Bartol saw Grekk’s threat finally ended. Erik had his hands full. He decapitated one guard, only to find two more taking his place. Bernedette began another summoning. Another fiendish creature answered her first summons. It attacked the Ogre. The guards and the Ogre made short work of the bladeling. With his other axe the Ogre chopped one of the ropes on the bridge. Another figure looked over the edge at Bartol. It was one of the human clerics Jozam had with him back at Peldan’s Helm. He cast a spell calling on the doom of all those not loyal to his deity.“You owe me 30gp.” Bartol yelled up.“Crap.” Bartol looked up and saw his rope in line with the Ogre’s axe. He summoned what strength and courage he had left. He let his anger have what was left of his sanity. The idea was to pull the Ogre into the chasm. He swallowed his last potion.Thane launched another vial of oil at the Ogre. This one unlit. Erik finished another guard. The last guard closed the door and locked it. Three small creatures answered Bernedette. She tried to weaken the Ogre with a spell. Nothing she did seemed to work. Perhaps the human cleric’s god was stronger here. The guards and the Ogre made short work of one of the summoned creatures. Bartol climbed. Too close. The Ogre reached out and struck him.Thane launched a magical ball of fire at the Ogre. He ignited. Erik fired his bow at the Ogre, but couldn’t penetrate. Bernedette fired a crossbow bolt. The Ogre and the guards dispatched the last of the summoned creatures. Bartol lunged for the Ogre. The Ogre connected and that was the last Bartol knew of the party’s fate.</blockquote>
