(YBA) Kalath in Wicht's Lair III.

[graydoom]

Whispering as quietly as he can, Kalath asks Rettburg, "Who... or what... is that? And is there any way to move around it, or do we have to face it on these stairs?"

 

[Wicht]

"Its probably a few ogres patrolling the stairs. There are no passages out of the stairs but if we are lucky they won't have any imps with them." whispers Rettburg.

The footsteps gain in volume.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath whispers back, "So we wait and fight?"

If Rettburg answers in the affirmative, Kalath prepares for battle.

 

[Wicht]

Rettburg smiles and nods.

"If you can't handle ogres, best to turn around now." he whispers with a smile.

Soon enough, two large figures stomp into view, each one dressed in dirty leather armor. Their skin is greenish brown and though their teeth are daunting, it is their massive claws that most attract Kalath's attention.

As the two ogres see Kalath they snarl, but when they see Rettburg they relax for a minute...

"I thoughts you was in..." begins one in a booming voice but Rettburg is attacking before the sentence can be finished.

"Hey, why are..." begins one of the ogres to Rettburg but Rettburg attacks him before the words are completely out.
