"Uhhhh..." Kraygan hesitates to leave Haggis with the manticore and looks to his companions. "Maybe I should bring the yaks through the courtyard..."

"And what're we supposed to do with Hop's coffin then? Drag it with us as the giants are hurling boulders our way. Let's just hope he's safe here for now until I can find him a good resting place away from this awful fort."

Jorgan moodily follows along, keeping his axe drawn.

Wren scowls at Jorgan.

I told him to leave the yaks outside. I told them.

"Leave it for now, Jorgan. We can come back for it. We can't drag it with us, like you said."

* * *

"I had hoped there would be stairs going down from here. Why wouldn't there be?" Wren grouses.

Wren waits by the western staircase to go up and slaughter some ogrekin.

"Any of you want to take lead on going up? There are some ugly things up there."

Vanderhoff stays quiet, trying to catch his breath and digest all this new information.

When the decision is made to go to the haunted chapel, he shrugs, having learned by now that the group always takes the diffiuclt route.

Shouldering his gear, he nods in gretting to Umlo and follows along.

Sense Motives: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Van puts a hand on Jorgan's shoulder. "We'll have to leave him for just a little bit, Jorg. He'll be ok."

Wren wrote:

"I'll lead the way." Van says, then begins moving up the staircase.

Earlier...

Kraygan looks to the boxed lunch coffin, then to the fast food yaks, then at america the manticore. "Look here. These are trained war yaks. Ye decide they look tasty and they'll probably put their horns up yer arse."

Kraygan leads Haggis over to the coffin and gives him a command in dwarven. Haggis assumes an aggressive stance and gives an ear-piercing shriek.

Now...

"I got this." Kraygan wastes no time on stealth here and barrels past Vanderhoff and right up the stairs.

"AAAAaaaarrggghhh!"

@Kraygan- Hahaha. That is great.

The dwarves leave and aggressive, spitting and yelling yak to guard Hop's body. The group takes off as the manticore looks about seeing that everyone left him after trying to drag around all this fresh meat. Who is going to grab my mate's body....

***********************************************************

Vanderhoff rushes up the stairs but is slowed down quickly as Kraygan slams past him. A massive bell fills this chamber beneath a domed roof. The bell continues to resonate with a deep ring. Four open arches provide wide views of the fort and surrounding lands. Inside are also two skittish Ogrekin.

DC 10 Sense Motive:
They seem extremely nervous of being in this room.

One of the Ogrekin peers through the arches with a longbow drawn as the other paces the room as the dwarves burst into the room. These Ogrekin seem frail and emaciated, bearing a third vestigial arm.

Dropping it's bow the Ogrekin pickup hooks lying against the wall. Splintered wood are lashed to their chest and stomach creating a makeshift armor as they assume a defensive stance.

Van curses as Kray rushes past him. "Balls..." Shaking his head, he redoubles his efforts to climb the stairs and enters the bell tower right Kray.

Seeing the Ogrekin seem nervous about something, Van quickly glances around the room before raising his hammer to attack.

Van dart north into the room, looking for any unnoticed dangers and spots the ogrekin with green-tinged skin.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 6 = 14

Swinging his hammer in a downward stroke, he slams it into the ogrekin!

Nearing Kraygan, Umlo and one of the ogrekin quickly become overcome with despair.

Wren readies an arrow in the tight quarters as he can hear the ogrekin but can't get a clear shot with the swinging bell. The bell slowly begins to come to a stop as the Ogrekin has stopped ringing it.

Vanderhoff rushes I swinging his hammer in a downward stroke. The ogrekin attempts to block the blow with it's vestigial arm. Vanderhoff's hammer smashes into the arm turning it into a limp noodle.

The ogrekin's faces furrows in anger, confusion nd pain as it yells. Hey You Guysss!

Diving into the opposite end of the room Kraygan swipes a large gash into ogrekin, covering it's chest in blood.

"Is it jus' me or has th' elf gotten worse with his bow?" he asks loudly to the rest of the dwarves as he deftly steps around the corner, slinging two maulaxes and a dagger at the more injured ogrekin.

As he runs out of things to throw, the dwarf pulls out Agrimmosh. "Gotten more use out o' this giant hammer than me own dwarven weapons. Father would get a laugh, eh, Jorgan?"

"Hammers'r still respectable weapons. I still feel dirty about using that scimitar though." Jorgan doesn't have much room to move and is low on spells so he moves into the room behind Van and takes out the curing wand in his off-hand.

Torgan swings around the corner as he hurls a pair of axes with precision. In a fluid motion his hand drops to his belt, drawing Brinya's Love and throwing that as well. One of Torgan's maulaxes and Brinya's Love find their home in the deformed flesh of the Ogrekin as Torgan's second Maulaxe strikes the bell with a loud CLANG!

Jorgan pulls out the wand in preparation to tend to any injuries as Umlo rolls into the room and shoves past Vanderhoff, swinging his warhammer at the Ogrekin.

Umlo's hammer smashes into the Ogrekin's chest, caving it in. The Ogrekin falls back a step gasping for breath.

Retaliating the Ogrekin lash out at Umlo and Kraygan with their wicked looking hooks.

Green Ogre Hook vs Umlo AC 26: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Umlo knocks the hook to the side. Kraygan doesn't think twice about the hook until it is too late. The hook passes him clean by but the Ogrekin quickly jerks it back raking his side.

Kraygan winces from the unexpected injury. "Ow! Ugly basterd's r' tricky with these hooks. I got tricks too though." Kraygan points at the ogrekin's foot. "Look! Yer shoe's untied!!"

Gorum's Thorn comes over and down, then spins and cuts across.

Van frowns, suprised how hearty these ogre spawn appear to be and the fact that the dwarf that they just rescued is now blocking his view of his quarry. No wonder he was captured.... Swearing to himself, he raises his hammer and swings hard.

Yes, these are considered giant.

These tight quarters are not treating Wren well as the bell swings in his path once again. His arrow strikes it veering off path.

Vanderhoff's hammer finishes the deformed Ogrekin as Umlo ducks out of his path.

Sorry, I have been waiting to do that fer some time here now.

Kraygan arches Gorum's Thorn back and stabs it straight through the remaining Ogrekin's chest, splitting it in two.

Looking over the bodies it does not look as if the Ogrekin were carrying much.

"Don't worry." Kraygan chuckles at Umlo. "The only argument we got when it comes crackin giant skulls is who cacked th' most!"

Noticing Umlo still carries injuries from the bears, Kraygan gestures for Vanderhoff. "Can ye get Umlo n' me with that wand again?"

Kraygan looks over the ogrekin loot and tests the pull on a bow. With a Hmmph he scratches his beard in thought as he glances over the walls to see if this tower affords a better view of the fort, as well as the flooded camp below.

@Tyr: the ogrekin seemed to be medium sized creatures - are the longbows medium or large sized?
How many arrows are up here?
Umlo said Droja was just north of the fort. I'm wondering how that side of the camp did in the flood.
Last, did we search the chamber below? Wouldn't want to miss anything.

Wren looks around, a grumpy look on his face.

"Damnit! I really wanted a way down into the chapel from this side! Who piddlespotting designed this place!?"

Finally, he nods at the dwarfhorde, acknowledging the quick work they made of the 'kin.

"Nice fighting. You guys have your uses sometimes. But it looks like we'll have to across that way to get down to the chapel. Might be that we need to kill that giant first though."

Wren moved himself to where he wants to go on the map.

Torgan moves about the room, gathering his maulaxes and prized dagger, sheathing each after wiping blood and grime on the rags worn by the ogrekin. "Let's bash 'is skull in. Only good giant is a dead giant." Torgan surmises, looking to follow Wren and put some hurt to the large beast that is on lookout.

"Hold up." Kraygan calls to the eager elf and his cousin. "We got the high ground and cover now, and a good view o' that giant below. Why not use these bow's n shoot him full o' arrows from here?"

Assuming the bows are medium sized, we can still use them despite the strength modifier they are built for. It's just a -2 penalty, and we have a couple oils of magic weapon to help offset it. Also, it might be fun to break out the oil of flame arrow.

Am I incorrect in thinking that the vengeful spirit should have been in this tower? One level down? (And do the stair goes down? I'm trying to compare to two maps, and the ground one seems to indicate it was here.

Van pulls out his wand and begins using it on Umlo and Kray.

CLW Umlo: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 5, 7) + 5 = 30 Marking 9 chrgs on Loot sheet

After healing the two, Van reaches out to shake Umlo's hand. "Name's Vanderhoff. Didn't get a chance to introduce myself earlier. Your sister, she....she is one of a kind."

I will try to explain as best as I can. This is definitely a confusing map with a whole lot of triggers happening at once.

1. The Ogrekin were medium giants so their weapons were medium sized.
2. Total of 20 normal arrows up there.
3. Droja was in the colorful tent to the north.
4. You have not searched the Chamber below. The chamber below is the Vengeful Spirit boarded up room. The stairs do not go down, only up to the bell tower.

I couldn't tell you how the humans moved about this confusing fort. most of the levels don't have stairs connecting the two. Confuse the enemy I guess.

Umlo beams brightly at Vanderhoff. She is isn't she. Squinting his eyes he shakes his finger at Vanderhoff.

Don't go getting no ideas with her. She is a spirited soul. Always on the move.

Wren waits for the dwarves to catch up with his way of thinking. He knows they have not caught up yet as the door to the next room remains unopened. That is a very good indication that he needs to wait longer. And so he does.

Looking around, he notes that Wren has disappeared, again. Going out the door, he sees the elf and one of his cousins loitering near a door. Signaling for everyone to follow, Van moves up to the door, and looks at it. "Is it safe? Is it locked?" He asks Wren.

The group uses the center section's rooftop as cover from the boulder throwing Blind Hill giant. Wren opens the door to the tower.

Each of these guardrooms offers a splendid vantage of the surrounding countryside. Stairs in each guardroom connect to them to the levels below. Opening the next one reveals the same interior design.

Following the group, Kraygan continues to grumble and complain about the current plan. When it seems like the cause is lost to change their minds he throws up his hands and stomps away. "If yer goin at him head first, then I'm gettin Haggis. Wait at the top o' the north stairs here and hold yer charge until ye see me climb up the south stairs across the way."

Muttering to himself the whole way, Kraygan marches back through the bell tower, crosses the west walkway, past the privy, through the grand entrance chamber, and down through the secret passage to the yaks. Mounting up on Haggis, he looks to the Manticore. "We took out the ogrekin archers. Now we're goin after another hill giant. Follow me if you want to join the fun."

Opening a magic oil, he rubs it into the spearhead of his lance, then, setting his feet and rubbing his hands for a solid grip, he opens the door to the courtyard and rides out, turning left to the steps leading up to the giant's walkway.

Kraygan doesn't really care if the giant spots him on the far walkway. If he's spotted he ignores the giant and marches on.
Once mounted on Haggis, Kraygan uses an oil of magic weapon on it and employs his Martial Flexibility (3/4 used today) to pick up Spirited Charge for a minute before heading out the door. He will ride in full defense (AC 29 vs Giants) until he can get up the stairs and into a charging line.

As Kraygan crosses the western walkway the large hill giant still seems to be quite distracted by the yak-mobile. It giggles to itself, causing it's large stomach and chest to heave and wiggle in all directions.

After a couple of moments of backtracking Kraygan is able to make it back to the manticore and yaks.

The manticore smiles and purs at Kraygan. I may just not eat you when you fall yet, my generous furry morsel. This is becoming more fun than I have had in years with each of your chaotic moments.

The manticore follows Kraygan as it squeezes out of the doors and up the stairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

The hill giant turns around with a dumbfounded look on it's face as it looks from Kraygan to the orc encampment. Taking but a moment he scratches his greasy head with a dark yellow nail, removing small bits of hair, due to the massive cracks in the nail.

The giant face begins to contort to anger as it grabs one of the massive boulders from the stack next to it. Kraygan smiles as he rubs oil on the tip of his spear. The hill giant's beady black eyes narrow as it lets out a mighty roar, attracting the attention of the Hill Giant and ogrekin down below in the courtyard.

So have 1 hill giant above on map 1. map 2 contains the lower level with 1 hill giant and 3 ogrekin.

Theorectically, other than Kraygan, no one knows what is going on? Perhaps we heard the giant roar?

Kraygan told everyone to wait at the top of the northern stairs, where you would see Kraygan as he reached the top of the southern stairs on the opposite side of the giant.. I didn't move anyone's tokens, and I don't think anyone has checked in to do it themselves since I posted Kraygan's intentions.

"Nice fighting. You guys have your uses sometimes."

Jorgan stops in his tracks and throws down his axe and wand. "Wait. Wait! Wait!" He tears his pack from his back and starts rifling through, looking for parchment and ink. "What's the date? What's today's date?" he asks, ever more frantic with each second. "Don't you understand? This is history. I need to make note of this.'

After the appropriate notations have been made and witnesses (the other dwarves) have signed off on the momentous events of this day, Jorgan repacks his things and resumes the mission at hand.

Hearing the giant's roar, Jorgan looks at the others. "Sounds like Kray has attracted their attention. Well, let's get down there then!"

Double move towards the action. Looks like the rest of us are far away if the map is accurate but I'm not sure if it is or what the best way to go would be.

@Wren- Yes, this place is like Hogwarts Castle. The designer I am sure was killed. The yaks should be able to go out the open door to the north of them and use the stairs next to the manticore to reach where Kraygan is at the moment.

@Vanderhoff- Yes, you are all aware of the attack as Kraygan mentioned above.

Wren and Jorgan rush through the odd complex and move into position to flank the giant from both ends. Jorgan's chest heaves from the endless set of stairs.

"Damnable Kraygan!" Vanderhoff hisses as the giant roars in anger. Gripping his hammer, he darts down the stair, then puffs up the opposite set.

"Well, ye get what ye ask fer." Torgan says off-handedly as he rushes forward with the rest of his kin.

The dwarf draws his hammer and dagger as he moves, ending up on the other steps as his stout dwarf legs can only carry him so far.

Wren easily strides past him and moves farther than he could and the dwarf yells to him. "Oi! Don't get squished by an err'nt rock, elf!"

The dwarves finish moving into position as they clamor up and down the stairs. They realize this is more of a workout than actually fighting a giant!

The manticore's fur bristles as it stays down below. Arching his tail back it readies itself to set of spikes at any moment.

The hill giant below smacks one of the ogrekin on the head. It's head jerks forward in pain as it rubs it with it's vestigial arm. The second ogrekin seems to have thick scaly skin as the third has a large mishsappen and lumpy head. It's eye seems to droop down a few inches on it's face.

Go get the wolves, idiots.

The deformed ogrekin rush over to wolves and grab the ropes to begin untying them. The hill giant below begins to lumber his way to the closed portcullis directly below Kraygan as the Hill Giant above grasps a large boulder in his meaty hands. Turning to Kraygan the hill giant groans as he lifts the heavy stone over his head in both hands. Throwing his arms forward he releases the stone right at Kraygan.

Rock vs Kraygan AC 25: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

The boulder smashes next to Kraygan, cracking the walkway underneath his yak's feet. Small pieces of debris fly all about at Kraygan. They bounce off of his armor harmlessly and fall to the ground below.

The manticore ducks down, feebily lifting a wing over his head. WE HAVE MORE COMING THROUGH THE GATE! The manticore bellows up to Kraygan

Upon reaching the top of the steps Kraygan reigns up and curses under his breath.

"Where the... Dammit! They rush me inta battle then don't show up to the party! Times like these I almost miss the army. Soldiers understand teamwork and honor and tru..." Kraygan pushes away the thoughts. Some things about the army were still as bitter to him as a mouthful of bile the morning after a night of drinking. "Dammit..."

Ignoring the shower of stones bouncing off his armor, he yells down to the Manticore and points with his lance. "Take to the steps!"

When his cousins finally appear he calls out across to them. "Bout time! Ye decide to take a piddlespottin' potty break on the way?!"

Crouching low on Haggis, he spurs the yak to top speed and tilts at the giant.

"GGGGRAAHAHH!"

"Nothing t' say, Wren?" asks Torgan as the elf seemingly ignores him. "Figured you'd have some quip up yer ass t' bellow at th' opportune time."

Shrugging, Torgan quickly follows Vanderhoff as Wren decides to move around the nearby building rather than moving up the stairs with the dwarves. "Oi! I'm here Van!" he tells his cousin as he stays with him.

Double Move.

Kicking Haggis with the heel of his boots, Kraygan takes off at full speed. His lance slams into the dumbfounded hill giant's thick chest mid-roar. The impact nearly tears the lance free from Kraygan's grip as it thrusts back into his shoulder leaving a sizable bruise down his arm.

The giant's roar is quickly cut off as all of the breath is hurls from his lungs leaving him gasping for air. Wren uses the opportunity to use more of his inherent elven magic and flies into the air over the roof of the complex while Vanderhoff and Torgan close in on the giant.

Huffing and puffing Umlo steps up behind Jorgan. You.... guys are ...hard to.... keep up with!

The manticore follows Kraygan's instructions and begins to squeeze up the stairs as it sighs. I am not as little as I once was... It's wings get caught on the stone outcropping as it has to turn to the side to get free.

The ogrekin begin to untie the snarling wolves as Jorgan moves in behind Torgan on the narrow walkway. The hungry wolves snap and bite at the Ogrekin. Small bits of spittle hand from their muzzle as the thought of food makes them salivate.

The hill giant above begins to catch his breath (barely). Hacking and wheezing his hand grasps at the pile of boulders. Patting, with small movements, left and right the hill giant's hand finally grasps at the handle of a greatclub. As it's hand pats about the giant knocks over the pile of boulders, which crash into the ground below with dull heavy thuds. The giant places a firm grip on the wooden haft and heaves it in an upward direction towards Kraygan.

The giant moans and falls to the side as a broken rib shifts in it's body. The hill giant catches itself on the roof as the giant below moves to he large portcullis and begins to lift it.

Str check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

The hill giant's muscles strain as the portcullis doesn't move at all. The released wolves leap forward, snapping at it's feet in anticipation, eager to be free.

Torgan gives a swift kick to Vanderhoff's rump as the giant swings his greatclub down, just barely missing the devout Steelkeg. "Oi, look up next time, Van!" he says with a wink as he takes the man's spot, stepping onto the loosened and battered stones of the walkway.

He deftly lashes out with his hammer and dagger, trying to kneecap the raging giant.
