Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eeralai" data-source="post: 2786015" data-attributes="member: 15008">Beginning of week fiveIf I lay absolutely still, the burns on my skin sear through me as if they just happened.  If I get up and walk, I feel as if I was a burning limb.  Most people in the party have one or two, burns, but I think Falon and I got the most.  There is no magical healing to be had because everyone is too exhausted.  Korliss has some skills in natural healing, but I still don't want him to come near me.  He told me to get over it and accept his help, but I just walked away.  Too bad he couldn't hear Krystal's reply.This morning, Korliss scouted ahead of the party and found the outpost that we had been looking for.  It was a tower with one big entrance, a smaller side entrance and windows all around.  We thought that we would sneak to the side entrance, get into the tower and attack from within.  But they saw us coming.  Ogres thundered toward us with pet alligators wadling as fast as their short little legs would carry them.  I don't know how many times Ternell, Aaron and Ardel got bitten, but mixed with the ogres trying to chop them in half with axes, they were soon a mass of blood.  Yes, ogres with axes.  We thought groups of unarmed ogres were deadly enough, but put armor on them and give them an ax, and our group finds ourselves hoping they cook us first before they start eating us.So while they were being butchered, Falon and I were throwing what spells we thought were most effective.  Magic missiles were whizzing through the ogre armor while I tried to pop their brains open from the inside-out.  We got a few spells off, but then a whizened old wizard flung the shutters of a window opened and started singeing us with floating, burning hands.  Korliss and Chani tried to shoot arrows at him, but as soon as he got the spell off, he would slam the shutter shut and then appear at another window.  Once I got through to his brain, and that was nearly the end for me.  All the burning hands came my way after that, and I was relieved when Ternell called for the retreat.We ran pretty far, but if they tried hard, I'm sure they could find us.  Right now I just want to float away in a cool stream.</blockquote>
