COMBAT, round 1
[NPCing Ciaran] Ciaran quickly loads his crossbow, steps to the right for a better shot, and lets his bolt fly over Merrick's head. The missile fails to penetrate the layers of furs and hide that cover the ogre's body though, doing no harm.
Deren grimaces as his attack goes wide. He pauses for a brief moment and then, realizing that O2 is still his best option, he throws another dagger at the brutish ogre. The halfling is rewarded with blood this time around, and his blade sinks deep.
With a cry Sir Merrick springs into the room to whirl his glaive into the wounded ogre in an attempt to bring it down quickly. The metal of the large blade flashes as it spins through the air to slash into the brute. Slashing upward, Merrick buries his blade in the ogre's throat, nearly decapitating the brute. It falls with a heavy thud, and the knight yanks his weapon free in a spray of dark blood!
With a gutteral bellow, the ogre nearest Merrick leaps up and grabs at his heavy, thick club to attack the night. The end of the weapon catches on the chair in which the ogre was sitting though, completely foiling the brute's assault.
Seeing that Sir Merrick ventured inside, Zirat takes his move and strides into the room, he then swings his long chain and tries to land it on the ogre to the east. The deadly chains slashes through fur and leather, leaving a long, jagged gash across the giant's chest.
[NPCing Shoon] Shoon rushes to aid Merrick and Zirat, unable to let them face these giants alone. His nunchaku in hand, he leaps into the fray, delivering a powerful kick to the nearest ogre. Although his aim is on, the giant's furs absorb the force of the kick.
[NPCing Aeron] Aeron moves into the chamber, unlimbering his mace and preparing to back up his companions and give combat to the forces of darkness.
The ogre that Zirat struck belows in rage.
"I kill you, puny 'uman!" it shouts, swinging its massive club! The Champion is too wily for the brute, though, and ducks under the ungainly strike!
Guys, if you want to post your own attack and damage rolls and such, that is fine with me. If you don't post them, I will make the rolls for you.
