[QUOTE="Vigwyn the Unruly, post: 1696768, member: 20345"] [b]Ogre Battle 4[/b] "By Geldar's gooseberries!" Belisha shouts after the spell fails. Frustrated and seeing her comrades and Rufus in danger, she unleashes more spell power. Stepping a few feet closer to the melee, she begins to cast a [i]magic missile[/i] spell. Bolts of light start to sparkle along her fingers, and after a few seconds, two missiles of magical force fly from her hands, dart around the heroes, and strike the ogre! "You'll pay for that!" a wounded Eolan cries as he urges his warhorse forward to kick the ogre, and raises his sword for another blow. But this movement leaves Eolan open to an attack from the ogre. The giant, seizing the opportunity swings his massive club at the mounted warrior. With a sickening thud the club hits Eolan directly in the chest. The knight slackens in his saddle as damaged organs and internal bleeding take their toll. Without Eolan urging it on, the warhorse does not move in to attack the fearsome giant. Rufus, snarls and barks, spittle dripping from his exposed teeth. He darts in to take another bite at the ogre, but is frustrated again as the monster fends off the attack. Hardin steps sideways under the ogre's reach, attempting to keep the ogre between himself and Slyfen, and brings his warhammer around in a massive swing. Although pressed on both sides, the ogre is clearly heartened by his victory over the knight. He manages to deftly avoid the dwarf’s hammer. [size=3][b]Round 3[/b][/size] Slyfen steps a few feet to the side, in an effort to keep the ogre from escaping his flanked position. Using the cover provided by the tree to his advantage, Slyfen again stabs at the giant’s back. This time, though, the hide armor holds against the blade. The ogre moves as if to head for the mouth of the cave. However, in doing so, he leaves himself open to additional attacks from Slyfen, Hardin, and the dog. The dog is again unable to make effective contact. But it’s a different story for the elf and dwarf. Nearly simultaneously, the elf’s rapier [i]again[/i] enters the giant’s abdomen, piercing a lung, and the dwarf’s warhammer smashes into the back of his head, sending him sprawling dead to the ground. The area fills with the weird calm that always seems to dominate after a battle. You once again become aware of bird and insect noises, a hot breeze, the smell of the nearby woods…and Eolan’s limp body on his horse.
