"Let me clear the way for you for my dwarven friend!" Kurt calls to Ragnok as he steps away from the bugbear threatening him (and in part to protect Verdis) and blasts the grouped bugbears with a cacophony of Heironeous' holy words. While the spell inflicts pain and anguish upon all four targets, none are stunned by it as the previous foes had been.Ragnok curses in frustration as the bugbears continue to block his path to the ogre. He calls a warning to his companions - "Kurt, Verdis - get out of there!" - then takes the roundabout way. Though his movement leaves him open to attack, he manages to avoid most of the blows aimed his way...taking only a painful cut from one of the bugbear's blades.Dara moves away from the bugbears and between Coraine and Trevor to get a good view into the room, where most of the ogres are coming from, while keeping an eye on the bugbears' weapons not wanting to expose herself too much. The sorceress then casts the spell she had planned for and conjures a sticky web right between the three ogres, in order to hold them in place for a while.Trevor remembers well what seems to happen every time he is around this bunch when he feels the urge to "flex his fighter muscle" and seeing there is no place to hide and that he is surrounded by enemies, he goes into a defensive stance.Verdis draws back his hand, summons yet more arcane power and hurls it at the nearest Ogre. The blast crackles with power as it strikes the massive foe.The metal clad ogre strikes at the closest foe, Ragnok, slamming its wicked flai down upon the dwarf with incredible might. Knowing how to fight giants proves handy though, and Ragnok uses the brutes own size to help shield himself from the attack, which narrowly misses. The other ogre attacks Coraine, but the thick webbing impairs the passage of the brute's club, and the knight is easily able to avoid the attack.A bugbear moves to engage Kurt, who sidesteps the furry beast's blade with little trouble at all.Nodding his thanks to Dara's spell, Coraine tightens his grip on his weapon to get better leverage. With a loud shout, he strikes out at the tangled up foe before him, attempting to strike a telling blow. The blade strikes true, and cuts deep, but the muscled brute simply gives a grunt of pain and stubbornly remains standing.Another bugbear leaps at the cleric of the Invincible One, but Kurt's god is with him, and the blade is nowhere close to striking flesh.The two ogres full entrapped by webbing and barely visible struggle against their bonds, but to no avail.Another bugbear engages Trevor, but cannot penetrate the young soldier's defenses, while the last of the goblinoids disappears into the southeastern chamber, unseen.Round 3 updated aboveINITIATIVE03 Kurt - 5' step, castsound burst at junction of S69/T7002 Ragnok - double move to R65, provoking AoOs from B6, B5, B8 and O120 Dara -  tumble (19, 22) to W67, cast web centered on Ogre #3, catching O2, O3, O4.19 Trevor - Total Defense18 Verdis - eldritch blast [RT] vrs O1 15 (success), damage 1618 Ogre 1 - AoO vrs Ragnok 16 (miss); flail vrs Ragnok 22 (miss)17 Ogre 4 - [ENTANGLED, free] REF vrs DC16 19 (success); greatclub vrs Coraine 16 (miss)17 Bugbear 7 - FORT vrs DC15 sound burst 21 (success), takes 7 damage; move to S66, longsword vrs Kurt 08 (miss)16 Coraine - (Coraine has soft cover vrs O2 & O3); longsword vrs O4 [PA4] 22 (hit), damage 1515 Bugbear 8 - FORT vrs DC15 sound burst 18 (success), takes 8 damage; AoO vrs Ragnok 8 (miss); 5' step, longsword vrs Kurt 8 (miss)11 Ogre 3 - [Failed vrs ToM][ENTANGLED, stuck], REF vrs DC16 web 11 (fails); STR check vrs DC20 14 (fail)10 Ogre 2 - [Failed vrs ToM][ENTANGLED, stuck], REF vrs DC16 web "1" (fails); STR check vrs DC20 11 (fail)07 Bugbear 6 - FORT vrs DC15 18 sound burst (success), takes 3 damage; AoO vrs Ragnok 20 (hit), damage 7; 5' step, longsword vrs Trevor 9 (miss)05 Bugbear 5 - [STUNNED] FORT vrs DC15 13 sound burst (fail), takes 4 damage03 B2 -  does somethingPC StatusTrevor 30/36Dara 34/34Verdis 27/27Ragnok 34/41Coraine 44/44Kurt 32/38[sblock=Opponent Status]B1 DEADB2 -4B3 DEADB4 -17B5 -4, stunned 1 roundB6 -3B7 -7B8 -8O1 -16O2O3O4 -15[/sblock]--- MAP ---</blockquote>
