The first bugbears through enter warily, on the defensive, as they assess the situation.The armored ogre roars mightily, angered by Zirat's drawing of first blood. The armored brute responds in kind, slamming his flail into the Champion with more force than Zirat has ever felt in his life. Ribs snap beneath the force of the blow, and the gladiator's vision goes black as he is thrown backward by the strike. Leveled by a single blow, Zirat lands on the dirty stone floor, unmoving."Assistance.  Now!" Aeron calls out.  The cleric scrambles to Zirat's side and summons the will of Pelor to the warrior's aid. Zirat comes around under the power of Aeron's spell, but it is quite obvious that the gladiator is in a bad way.Ciaran grimaces as enemy troops pour into the room from the south, and the ogre smites Zirat with all the power of hell! The wizard holds the crossbow awkwardly in his off hand, and he traces the mystical gestures of a spell with his other, chanting the words of power. A cloud of golden dust explodes in the air, showering the ogre and one of the bugbears to the southwest with blinding particles. The ogre shakes off the spell, but the bugbear is blinded.Deren grimaces as the gladiator drops to the ground and then groans as the Bugbears appear.  "Why does this always happen to us?" he mutters as he throws another dagger at the large brute [Ogre]. The blade sticks into the meaty part of the ogre's thigh, but doesn't seem to slow him much.Having dispatched the last ogre in the room and spying reinforcements coming from the south Sir Merrick immediately charges to engage them "Fear the forces of Light you miscreants!" The leader of men and halflings calls to his companions. "Take the fight to them now! Deren, Shoon, take out the ogre and the glittering ones while I handle these unbespelled varlets" He slashes powerfully with his glaive, but the bugbear is ready, and deflects the weapon with his own morningstar.A bugbear rushes Shoon, sweeping its morningstar forward, but the monk leans gracefully back out of the weapon's reach, avoiding the strike altogether. Then Shoon dives back in; one punch cracks the bugbear square in the jaw, but somehow it manages to get its shield up and in the way of Shoon's follow-up kick, leaving the monk a bit unbalanced. A second bugbear takes advantage of the situation, moving in and striking a glancing blow against Shoon's unarmored form.Zirat stands, badly wounded. This massive, armored brute might indeed be the greatest foe he had ever faced. He thought about his options: withdraw, or fight. No, he couldn't leave his companions. Thought it might cost him his life, he must fight on. He grasps his gleaming chain and whips it through the air with all his might, channeling divine power. The weapon strikes dead on, opening a second deep, bloody wound. The ogre staggers slightly, but remains on its feet.The final two bugbears charge out of the southern rooms. Seeing the situation, they both rush Shoon, determined to overwhelm the poor monk. Unable to fend off so many attackers, Shoon takes a morningstar full in the ribs, feeling two of them break beneath the blow, but happy to find that the spikes didn't penetrate his lungs.Round 5 updated above!
