They decide that Fraup will use it to heal the front-line fighters.Under the cover of darkness the group journeys to the docks atop the wall. Kuhl is in the front and quickly dispatches the few zombies they come across. They get to the docks without incident and set out onto the water in a dinghy.They row towards the tower for a time until suddenly a massive shape flies overhead. It blasts them with a flaming breath weapon before flying on. The party paddles quickly as their boat slowly burns. They make it to the tiny island just before it becomes useless. Standing on the small dock, they see a narrow stairway carved into the stone leading up to the tower.The group makes its way up the slippery steps. At the top of the stairs before they reach the doors there is a killing ground overlooked by arrow slits, with steep walls on either side. Two large stone statues line each of the two walls. The group immediately begins to investigate the statues, expecting them to come to life. They do not. Fraup and Kuhl inch carefully, with Fraup examining the floor before every step for traps. Eoghan is checking the walls. As Fraup and Kuhl come within 5 feet of the doors, the statues come to life.Everyone moves to attack, but only the ogres seem strong enough to damage the now-living statues. The heroes valiantly continue their attacks anyway. Suddenly the door opens and a three-headed dragon ogre breathes fire upon them.“Get through the doors and kill that thing!” Kuhl yells, “we’ll hold off these things.”The non-ogre heroes run for the door. Quickly checking the door for traps, Fraup and Eoghan open the door. Standing before them is the dragon ogre with a massive sword.   DM’s Note: The stone golems were meant to occupy the ogres. I expected the party to run, but I had to force it with the pop-up dragon ogre. This way the party has to finish the adventure themselves, but if they are in trouble the ogres can come to help.Casvel, Eoghan, Bokin, Dramus, and Bogart move to attack. The dragon ogre fells Dramus with one mighty blow. Fraup rushes in to heal him as the heroes attack. They attack ferociously as it nearly kills one of them each time it connects with a blow. Eventually they beat the creature and loot the body. The body, two rings, a belt, and the creature’s sword all radiate as magical. Bokin throws the sword out to the ogres. Fraup and Cliona each claim a ring, and Casvel gets the belt, which makes him feel stronger. As they wonder why the dragon ogre radiates magic, Casvel hears something coming down the stairs. The group assumes combat positions and soon a group of zombies come down the stairs. As they dispatch them Fraup hears something behind them. Turning, he sees the dragon ogre slowly rise and come at them, wounds still oozing blood. Bogart holds off the zombies in the stairwell as the rest of the group turns to meet the new threat.</blockquote>
