SKAROS
Skaros blasts the ogre with fire.

OOC: Skaros uses Eldritch Blast and hits the Ogre for 24 fire damage.

OGRE
Angered, the giant humanoid, muscled and dumb as a post, turns towards the stairs. Seeing Astra, the ogre swings his long halberd around his head and emits a war howl. He rushes towards the stairs and hefts the halberd towards the archer who wounded him. The halberd strikes true, knocking the elf onto the stairs.

OOC: Move action to within melee range of the stairs. He ends this move action 2 squares from the edge of the stairs. The stairs will provide Astra cover against any melee attacks from the "ground" level. The Ogre has reach 2. He then attacks Astra using his Halberd (melee basic attack). HITS AC with a 29. 12 damage and Astra is knocked prone. Note: The Ogre can now see Astra and Adam. They are still hidden from the 4 guards who have yet to act.

[Scotley]

Hearing the combat upstairs, Geirgrim takes up his spear and starts up quickly looking for trouble. "Somebody stay down here and keep our line of retreat open. It sounds like there is trouble upstairs." He is ready to hurl his spear at any foe he finds.

OOC: Will use grappling spirits against first foe he encounters. Target will be slowed and can't shift until the end of its next turn.

THE MAP!

The long-prophesied map has arrived!

 

[Insight]

[MENTION=36973]stonegod[/MENTION] - OOC: Do you want Vrashek to push past Adam and Astra or wait on them to move down the stairs?

The guards are next. Then, Questor.

 

[Rhun]

[MENTION=36973]stonegod[/MENTION] - OOC: Do you want Vrashek to push past Adam and Astra or wait on them to move down the stairs?

OOC: I'm assuming this is actually meant for me? Is there room for a ranged attack over them?

If Vrashek stopped behind Adam, he could make a ranged attack at -2 for some cover.

Questor, Halfling Chaos Sorcerer 6

Questor's eyes cross slightly and he gets a mean look on his face (well, as mean as he is capable of) and shimmering waves of psychic power leap from his forehead and streak towards the ogre. The ogre's eyes then cross briefly in pain or consternation. [I have my doubts whether that's a successful attack, but here's hoping the brute has a sucky will defense!]
