Leave it to Iinvisible Castle to come back up, only to sour my rolls.

Danth reacts fastest. He steps behind Jokad and the bear, and acting quickly he calls upon Sarenae to smite down the ogre with her righteous might!

The ogre-kin howls in rage and pain as the purity of the divine light lances into him through the canopy of trees. It pushes him into a crouch, as if he has been smashed by its force, before the light vanishes and the monster rises slowly to his full height.

Before he gets close to recovering, two arrows slam into him, both embedding deep in his flesh. He hollers in pain, and shouts out a curse in his giant tongue.

And then, the next second, while the retinal residue of the divine power of Danth's magic is still fading, the fire ball erupts.

3 of the 5 hounds are vaporised almost instantly, except it is not quite so clean as that. Two fall dead, their burning frames shivering and twitching with what you hope is remnant synaptic impulse. The other runs a short distance, howling in clear distress as its fur burns like an inferno, before it too drops, a boiling mess of flesh.

2 hounds manage to evade the fireball, taking some damage, and howling in pain, but alive, and now insane with rage.

As the fire lifts in a roiling wave of dark smoke, you can see that something has snapped within the spirit of the ogre-kin. He has turned to flee, too far from you to engage. He is blubbering to himself, crying and cursing softly, as if in comfort. His giant spear has been left lying on the forest floor as he crashes and barges his way back the way he came, crying for his mamma.

OOC: 2 hounds on you. Init and actions please. Jovik missed the last (free-action) turn. Ogre-kin is about 35' away from you.

OOC: IC is down again so I am trying a new dice roller hopefully it works.

INIT 12, 1d20+2=12
HIT AC 29 for 20 dmg 1d20+12=29 4d6+7=20

I assume the foliage and rugged terrain are not going to allow us to simply stand still and fire arrows at his retreating form. Seeing as the round starts at a distance of 35', I'll assume that is max visability (100% concealment, not neccessarily cover).

Jokad (already has spear in hand from quick draw previous round) moves his 30' forward (taking AOs from the dogs if neccessary) then launches his spear at the retreating ogre. Even if there are multiple range increment penalties he should hit rather easily. Using my new feat Vital Strike to double up the weapon dmg, in this case 4d6 - my own mini fireball!!


IC: Jokad's expression is as hard as stone. You doubt he even hears the yelping of the wounded hounds even as they charge visciously forward. He simply explodes forward, dashing past fang and claw his eyes solely focused on the retreating form of the ogre. The barbed point of his new weapon glints dangerously in the morning light just before taut muscles fire it forward with the strength of a ballista bolt. His aim is true cutting cleanly through the thrashing brush to slam into the ogre's broad back with a meaty smack.

"I'll get the ogre," shouts Kael as his arcane methods pull heat and energy from the world around it and another fiery marble is launched from Kael's pointed finger toward the fleeing ogre.

It may seem like overkill, but Kael isn't too keen on this one ogre warning others.

[sblock=OOC]Init: 1d20+2
Fireball: 6d6

The above are placeholders, due to invisible castle being down. If you feel like it, hewligan, I trust you rolling them for me. I'll check again, in a few, though and roll them if I can on IC.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Fully confident that his companions will deal with the ogre, Danth draws Crimson Dawn and moves to engage the nearest dog. The curved blade radiates the blazing golden-red flames of Sarenae as it slashes through the air and strikes the foe.

OOC: Sorry Hew, end of the term and lots of exams and papers flooding in to be graded.

Jovik waits behind the tree waiitng for Kael's firey burst to go off. Once it does he dashed around the tree, daggers in both hands and slices into the closest dog.

IC still down

[hewligan]

Jokad bursts forward. Kael, about to invoke his spell, curses at his friend. The back of Jokad blocks his target, and he doesn't want to send both friend and foe up in flames. Still cursing under his breath, Kael lets the spell wait for now ....

Jokad, however, waits for nothing. He is off at a tear, jumping over fallen logs and letting branches and the likes strike at him as he sets chase.

The ogre is a big target, but he is moving fast and weaving between trees, and despite Jokad's speed, he remains at a distance.

Jokad, still running, pulls back and releases his spear. It flies forward through the air, rotating slowly as it goes. The air makes a keening noise as it passes through.

WHAM!

Straight into the back of the ogre. The beast shudders, keeps moving a few paces, and then falls over like a dead weight. Jokad, still running fast, slows himself to a stop just as he reaches the body of the ogre. His spear, embedded all the way to cover the entire metal head, appears to be vibrating still. Jokad thinks, for a second, that it is the last remnants of motion from his throw, but it continues to judder for a few seconds too long, and a gentle moan escapes from it. A hungry moan. As if the thing is feasting.

Jokad wrests it from the body, thick with ichor. As it relinquishes its grasp on the corpse, it comes free with a sickening squelch.

OOC: Can the rest of you use an online dice roller please - any one will do. If not, just make a roll and post it here and I will trust you for the time being. In time, either invisiblecastle will return, or we will find a good alternative. Pain in the buttocks, but such is life, and I am pretty sure I can trust you all now, given how demonstrably honest you have been in the past.

OOC: I assumed Jokad went first since he was the only one to post an initiative so far.

OOC: Fenris: I feel your pain!

 

[Rhun]

OOC: I posted all of my rolls, with the links...did you miss them? Though Jokad beat Danth by 2 in initiative.
