Otto tosses another dagger into the fray, slashing a minor wound across the ogre’s cheek.

Dara swiftly speaks the words for another spell, while she raises her mighty blade to strike at Lubash, the wicked-sharp edge reflecting the flickering torchlight. The blade cuts deep across Lubash’s thigh, and yet more of the ogre’s blood splatters to the floor.

Shaking his head to clear the ringing in his skull as the blood running from his forehead trickles onto his short beard, Ragnok retorts "Gnaw on this!" in dwarven. Swinging Norryjar with a savage overhand chop, the fighter buries his dwarven-crafted steel deep into the ogre’s chest! Lubash wobbles on his feet for a moment, and then tumbles forward, collapsing into a bloody heap.

Dara

“Just in time. I wouldn't have wanted to see him hit you again like that,” Dara says. Then she cleans her blade and puts it back into the sheath.

“I guess we can finish our exploration here soon, and then return to Hommlet.”
 


Coraine cleans his axe, as he motions to Marco to check on Ragnok. Then he sets about searching, first the fallen ogre, then its lair.
 

A huge pile of furs and skins in one corner of the room obviously served as bedding for the much larger-than-human Lubash. A large wooden chest sits against the wall, near the bedding. Other than this, and some miscellaneous rubble and debris, the room is empty.

The door to the south is made of thick, solid hardwood banded in iron, and stoutly barred from this side.
 

Sniffing slightly at Coraine's dissmisive gesture, Marco nevertheless moves forward to examine the dwarf. He pokes at the battered bones and bruises that the ogre's club left behind for a second before waving his wand over the area.

"Nasty brute, wasn't here. Here, hold still for a moment, you'll feel better in a bit."

Ragnok takes a seat over the giant's head, idly changing his axe from hand to hand while Otto gets his hands to work with the chest.

"Hey, Dara, lass, do ye have that good armor clenin' trick..." -and he is interrupted by Marcus- "Ho! that does work" he stands back, mesperized with the diminishing of the ringing, and feeling his bones return to their place, and the mending of the flesh...

"Ye'r good enough... works slowly tho... ah, ye wanted da fella's head?"
 

Gradually the paladin's breathing quietens and his muscles, which were still taut from the adrenaline rush of battle, begin to relax. Coming back to the group centred around the giant corpse while he waits for Otto to check the chest for traps, Coraine notes Ragnok's increasing vigour and turns with a slight bow to Marco.

"Thank you for taking care of my fearless friend here - he's convinced that his head's harder than anything it may come in contact with, and it gets him into trouble sometimes. It is a great relief to know that we have a healer amongst us - for his sake, and for ours! We were, indeed, fortunate to find you."
