"Ready?" Morika asks looking at all, but mostly at Thanor.
"When you open the door, I'll charge in hopefully dropping first giant on the way. Elf can cover me with arrows. And I'm sure our little spy is here somewhere."
 

Thanor Spikeshield

"Aye then - we've tarried long enough. Time to hew through another foe or two."

Thanor moves to the door, preparing his axe and shield. Small crackling bolts arc off the wicked crescent blade, and he looks around at his companions, looking for a sign that they are ready. He nods grimly when he sees their affirmations, then sets his shoulder to the door.
 


OOC: so, just so that I'm clear, you guys are going to be opening the door to the north -- where the ogres and wolves have been coming, correct? Just need one of you to confirm, then I'll update tomorrow.

The door opens with a slow creak, the dwarf and druid working together to budge the large door ajar, no sooner than they get the door opening on its on power, a swarm of boulders crash into them -- Thanor is able to dodge the effects of both of those that were sent his way, but Morika is caught twice in the chest by the massive rocks.

Two javelins also get sent their way, but Thanor is able to direct both of them into the nearby door frame with his shield.

Sanne dances to the side of of one of the Dire Wolves, and takes a stab at it, albeit not a clean one.

"Well then beastie! Panic rising in ye gorge yet?"

Thanor whirls his axe down, aiming between the closest dire wolf's ears, his aim true, but not much force behind his swings. His deep-set eyes carefully watch the rock throwing giants, attempting to sidestep any further rocks.

Voadam stops for a moment and considers the battlefield, and how he might best manipulate it.

Not inclined to jump into the middle of the pitched battle, Ipshivi drew the shadows into a comforting cloak and scampered forward along the ceiling, trying to get an idea of the enemies' true numbers.
[sblock=Ipshivi]
You see the four wolves, four adult giants, 2 ogres, and 2 juvenile giants that you recognize from the earlier barracks room. The room looks like it wraps around to the right, and on the left wall are a set of large double doors. A dark passageway leads to the north.

"Ha! Is that all you've got, giants? Some pebbles?"

Morika steps back behind Thanor calling upon fey lines and begins to pull down one of the protectors above.
[sblock=Morika]
Summoning spell is 1 round cast time, Unicorn will appear next round on your initiative.

The elf smiles as the giants appear. "Death is my gift," he says quietly, sending a volley of arrows streaking through the air toward the giants.

The wolves surrounding Sanne take advantage of their flanking positioning and both bite at the half-elf, but she is able to dance around their open mouths.

The one in front of Thanor eyes the dwarf with hungry eyes, envisioning the smaller humanoid to be a tender morsel, and latches hold of his arm with his mouth and pulls the dwarf to the ground with a shake of his massive torso. [Thanor is now prone]

Seeing the dwarf laid low by the wolf, Yoggrith strides forward,"Let the Shadow shroud you with protection, my son." [+3 deflection bonus to AC for 8 minutes]

Thanor should be full minus about 20hp. Since we dithered, Yogg could use healing wand on him (it was discussed before the pause)
