He wasn't able to extricate himself until after the soldiers had passed by, and Gimlack had cleared a bit of the debris by animating it into a whirlwind of stones, that flew out of the tunnel and followed the Elemental. The two (or was it many more than two?) stone-creatures slammed and pummeled at the largest of the Hill Giants, who had stood ready to fight. Gimlak took cover to the west, while the soldiers rushed eastward.Caine's pikemen outside swung their battering ram at the front gate, which buckled but did not give way. The giantess there pushed her enormous weight against the massive pile of crates and barrels, helping to hold it shut. The four soldiers in Ankheg group rushed about her legs, hacking into her with their swords. But the big giantess picked up a large crate and brought it down amongst the soldiers with a cracking smash. The crate broke apart, and three of the four soldiers were crushed to death underneath.The biggest hill giant swung his club at the earth elemental, knocking a chunk of rock out onto the floor. Meanwhile, the young hill giant yelled in the giant tongue, ::Beware the Spellcaster!:: (speaking of Gimlak) and he flung a javelin from a rack near the firepit at the dwarf as he ran for cover. Another giant, near a pile of crates at an eastern door, rushed forward and hurled a rock at the dwarf as well. It was luck, psychic defenses, and footwork that kept the dwarf from being impaled or crushed.Mudsmuck the Ogre may not have remembered Kahru, but she knew a northman when she saw one. She'd raided so many of their villages and had been attacked in kind, that they were mortal enemies. When she spotted Kahru, coming toward her with all intensity, she responded with a fury of her own. She left her young charge behind her as she charged toward Kahru with her axe high over her head. The northman stepped to the side as she brought it down, striking the dirt where he'd been only a moment before.Finally, Tamanar, who was right behind Kahru and still wielded a bugbear's spiked morningstar, slammed his weapon into the beleaguered servant, who staggered, nearing her limit to defend herself. Out in the hall, the warhorse halted, having pulled the doors to the limit of their range. With no one urging him on, he stood there with his tail swishing from side-to-side.[ooc]Lots of damage flying about. Gimlak took 12 and then 19.  The earth elemental took 17. The rest I'll keep track of, being BG on NPC and vice-versa. Check out the postings in the roller if you're curious.[/ooc]</blockquote>
