An angry swarm of rats suddenly pops out of the snow and starts creating chaos among some of the sheltered goblinoids.
Shando and Kayla sneak down the mountain towards the workers. Kayla throws a flask of alchemist's fire into the vat of tar being used to make the rafts. It catches fire and explodes, throwing some orcs around and hitting others with flaming tar. Kayla jumps into the fray, slashing orcs as she goes, killing about two a second (TWF/ITWF/Dervish Dance/Boots of Speed/Not Using Tumble + Robilar's Gambit/Cleave...this is what she's best at). Shando charges in, felling an ogre foreman.
The rest of you move through the blizzard to the command tent, and surprise the orgres. They lack any special ability to see through the blizzard, and you get the jump on them. Dryia slashes at their legs with her whip, hurtsing them but failing to trip them (They are after all very big and strong). Timrin and Alethia each charge one, slashing and bashing them repeatedly (Suprise round plus init win) Timrin's goes down, and Alethia's is finished off by a blast from Murdoch.
The ogre falls into the tent, opening the flap. Standing inside the tent, you see an ogre wearing intricately-runed plate mail. Unlike a real ogre, his eyes glow red and like an ogre mage, he has two small horns. His face is oddly handsome for an ogre, a bit humanlike. He holds a bastard sword, which glows with dark power. It becomes sheathed in flames, and he swings the blade towards you. An enormous, firey blast erupts from the sword (100 dmg to Timrin and Alethia, 50 to Murdoch, Dyria, and Barnak).
He flourishes his blade, and turns to Dyria. "I must thank you, mortal, for bringing me so generous a gift. Once I cleave that gauntlet from your arm, I will be unstoppable."
