Ogre Battle, Round 3

Round 3
Max unleashes an unarmed assault on the ogre in R19, delivering a sweeping kick across the ogre's legs that catches it mid-stride and drops it heavily on its backside, and having brought the ogre down within reach, Max punches the ogre directly in the throat, shattering its larynx and killing it. Manny Fires his tiny little hand crossbow at the ogre in U16. The tiny little bolt is all but invisible in the darkess of the night, but the ogre howls in pain and clutches at his ankle as he wallows in the pool of grease. While this is happening, Kerlan has been calling up a Fist of Stone which he now swings at the ogre. It fails to connect, but, as the ogre tries to regain his feet, he slips again, and the stone fist then crashes heavily into his jaw, sending three teeth flying into the darkness. Just then, Xavier conjures up a strange blue orb of electricity that looks very eerie in the night. The orb sends out tendrils of lightning that play across the back of the ogre's head and neck until smoke issues from its ears and its eyes burst in their sockets. Tylara then moves to a good firing position and pincushions the ogre in AC14, killing it, while Capizzio slits the throat of the stunned and blinded ogre in W17.

(Excuse me, Ty and Cap, but since the ogres were already defeated by those who posted earlier, I took some liberties with you guys to tie up loose ends. )

Actions?

Tylara

Holding the glowing bow with the light spell on it as high as she can Tylara surveys the area looking for new threats.

OOC: Assuming she finds none and that I understand correctly all the ogres are slain, she'll dismiss the entangle spell and starting with the entangled one, search for treasure.

Manny

Manny will also move in to search for loot, and to recover his crossbow bolt.

Breathing hard, Xavier is astounded at the scene before him. A relative stranger to both violence and death the scene horrified and also excited him. "This is the first I've had to really use my abilities...it felt incredible!" Xavier thought to himself as he follows the others in looking over the body, but he'll also spend time examining the damage caused by his lightning orb.

"My, that was exciting. Thank you for waking us Manny. If you hadn't done that we'd all be paste by now or dinner... "

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Manny

Manny blushes to his roots at the praise, then looks a little angry that he got embarassed.

"It was nothing . . . I'm sure you'd have done the same! I'm glad we took care of them . . ."

His voice trails off as he takes in the scene before him. His had been a long life, compared to those of the humans in the group, and he'd seen bloodshed before, but this was the first time he'd been directly involved.

To the Victor.....

Manny is able to recover the bolt with no problem. Searching the ogres yields: 1 awful odor, 4 ratty garments, 6,725 fleas (just a reasonable estimate -- you don't have to actually count the fleas unless you just want to do so), and 2 very large sacks that were tied around the waists of the two largest ogres.

Inside the sacks you find 6,000 cp, 100 sp, and 100 gp. All of the coins are stamped with the likeness of a bird. (From which you reasonably deduce that they were minted in Quail Valley, which is the region in which you now find yourselves, for what it's worth.)

The crewmen are all awake now. The Skipper would like a quick word with you, but the rest just want to go back to sleep, so they return to their beds. Skipper says, "I sure am glad that we had you felas with us when those Ogres paid us a visit! I'll be sure and tell my boss how you guys saved us. I doubt if there would have been anyone left to take the boats home again, too, so I'm sure he'll be grateful! Well, I think I'm going back to bed. We'll probably be getting a little bit of a late start in the morning after this excitement."

Actions?

no prob, i was going to go rapier on his arse next action anyway.

 

[Leif]

Renau1g, Reference: Post #174

Judging from his examination of the wounds on the ogre, Xavier concludes that his Orb of Electricity spell was quite effective! ZAPPED 'IM REAL GOOD!

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

After a quick snack Tylara is ready to continue her watch until it is her turn to sleep.

 

[Leif]

Tylara's watch passes uneventfully, as do the subsequent watches. Moring breaks, and you discover that there is a BEAR in your tent!

The Bear's name is Skipper, and he lets out a mighty growl as he stretches: "AUUUUUUGGHHHAAAAAHHHH! Mate!! Rise and Shine! Where's my BREAKFAST??!"

The Mate is up and alert in less than two shakes and cooking breakfast for all.

Actions, this morning?
