Seeing the threat posed by the hulking Ogre Jebediah shifts his gaze from the wounded Gnoll to the Ogre, pointing his finger at the Ogre Jebediah focus his mental energies and releases a burst of fiery energy at the brute. The flames leap toward the brute, scorching him through his hide armor, and causing him to bellow in pain.

Deren steps through the archway and whirls a throwing dagger at the hulking brute. The blade sinks deep into the ogre’s back, causing it to shout out in pain once again.

The bugbear sends its morningstar arcing in at Thomas, and manages to penetrate the skilled warrior’s defense, striking a painful blow into his ribs.

"No!" Aeron shouts, easily able to tell that the blow that struck the gnome would have been immediately fatal. Then the last Prophet of Caria screams and vengefully attacks the ogre. The heavy mace strikes the brute, but doesn’t seem to hurt him through the beast’s thick skin.

The gnoll continues slashing its axe at Zirat, a desperate look on its face. It smiles evilly as its axe opens a bloody wound across the champion’s thigh.

Thomas seeing the proximity of the Bugbear aims an overhand chop at the furry beast’s head, but the bugbear moves at the last moment, and Thomas’ blade only slashes the creature across the chest, instead of through the skull.

”Aeron, behind you,” shouts the champion when he sees the Ogre. ”Merick help him, I'll take care of them” Zirat says as he swings his chain low to slam the gnoll's knees. The chain smashes brutally into the last gnoll’s legs and the creature loses its balance, falling to the floor and cracking its head hard against the stone. It lays there unmoving.

Sir Merrick nods in agreement with Zirat and moves to engage the towering ogre, his glaive dripping with the blood of the humanoids. Despite the terror inducing threat of the brute's life crushing blows Merrick unhesitatingly challenges the giant "Servant of Darkness! Your foulness shall not stand!" His glaive slashes in, but misses the target by several inches.

The ogre licks Jinx’ blood from its club, and then sends the weapon darting out at the puny human that struck at it with a mace. Although the ogre puts little force behind the attack, it is still enough to almost knock Aeron off his feet, and leaves him gasping for breath.

Zirat

I told you to heel shout the champion in triumph as he crash the gnoll,
Pulling to the side to take some air (5 ft. to Q13), Zirat draws a vial from his belt and pour it on his chain (magic weapon oil).

The bugbear is in my chain's reach, if i get an AoO in the coming round.
MW Spiked Chain [attack:+8, Dmg:2d4+4, crit x2, 10 lb., two-handed, piercing]
 

Deren grits his teeth as his dagger sinks in, but doesn't slow the hulking brute at all. Grabbing another throwing dagger, he tosses it at the brute.

OOC: Throwing Dagger +5 ranged (1d3+3 damage). [The 2nd range increment and thus the -2 penalty is already added in]
 

Gasping for breath, Aeron realizes the folly of his rage. Knowing that he needs healing but not daring to cast a spell so close to his foe, the cleric waits for Merrick or Zirat to act. He then tries to take a single step behind them and cast cure light wounds in safety.
 

Lord Krane, realizing the ogre to be the real threat to the group, unleashes another blast of fiery power at the giant. Again, the brute bellow in agony as the flames scorch and burn, blistering and blackening his skin.

Deren grits his teeth as his dagger sinks in, but doesn't slow the hulking brute at all. Grabbing another throwing dagger, he tosses it at the brute. A slight smile crosses his face as he watches the dagger sink into the brute’s back right next to the first knife, bringing about another below of pain.

Merrick, knowing that his companion Aeron will never survive another mighty blow from the ogre, aims a powerful blow of his glaive at the brute. The overhand strike cleaves into the ogre’s neck and continues on, cutting deep into its chest cavity. The brute stares dumbly at the weapon still stuck in its body and the great gouts of blood pouring down its chest. Then, its eyes roll into its head and it tumbles over backward, crashing to the ground.

The bugbear, obviously deciding the discretion is the better part of valor, rushes away from your group, and through the open door to the north. As the beast drops its guard to flee, both Thomas and Zirat react; unfortunately, neither strike the skillfully dodging bugbear.

Zirat, seeing his quarry flee, charges after the bugbear, lashing out at him with his chain as the bugbear moves through the doorway. The chain slashes across the creature’s back, making a jagged and bloody wound, but fails to drop the “fluffy” brute.

Gasping for breath, Aeron realizes the folly of his rage. Had Merrick not been able to strike the hulking brute down, the ogre may very well have been the end of him. Seeing himself out of danger for the moment, Aeron prays for his god’s healing. As the warming feeling of the curative spell flow through him, the cleric can feel cracked ribs and bruised flesh mending.





Strahd, I changed Zirat’s action, as I figured you didn’t want to use your magic oil with only one (fleeing) opponent left.

OOC: Question for Lord_Raven

[sblock]

Am I treating Thomas as a hireling, or as a cohort? As a cohort he is entitled to 1/2 experience, but he is entitled to nothing as a hireling. I'm inclined to go the cohort route, so that he can continue to level and be an effective bodyguard for Jebediah, but I wanted to leave the decision up to you. Let me know...

Zirat

Thanks to Kord they are all dead, but be sure the one that fled is going to alert all those undergroung, I suggest we try to surprise who ever is down there.
Putting back the vial of oil, Zirat pulls another potion, drink it and looks sadly at Jinx body.
I'll carry him, the poor fellow needs to be buried in a decent place and a proper ceremony.

clw potion.

Rhun:[sblock]
According to the RAW Thomas would have to be treated as a hireling, saying that I treat the relationship between Thomas and Jebediah as one of friendship and respect, not as servant as master.

Personally I'd love for Thomas to go up in levels along with Jebediah, if you do choose to go down that track, then as Thomas becomes more skilful, Jeb will need to pay out more money to compensate him accordingly, which is fine by me.

Also when Jebediah is 6th level, he will start taking levels in Thrallherd, so if Thomas continues to increase in level then he might end up being Jebediah's first Thrall. :)[/sblock]

Seeing the Bugbear flee Jebediah sets off in pursuit and sprints across the room hot on the heels of Zirat "Quick we must kill the Bugbear before he can gather re-reinforcements"

~~~~

Thomas seeing his masters reckless headlong pursuit shakes his head at Jebediah's foolishlness/bravery, stifling a moan he puts the pain out of his mind and quickly crosses the room after the others.

Jebediah: AC 14 HP 13/13 PP 2/11
Thomas: AC 17 HP 11/19, +6 1d8 +3 (Longsword)

"Agreed," Deren says as he starts jogging over to the door, "But I'm not sure if going underground is wise yet since we just lost Jinx and most of us are injured."
