Krenn misses with his heavy blow and he continues to live, however Arianna's rapier just manages to peirce his thick skin and studded leather armour.
"But out the bastard's eyes!" the voice calls out and all of a sudden more voices join calling out for help.
Krenn hauls back with his axe again and let's it drop.
To hit 1d20+7
Damage 1d10+7
"But out the bastard's eyes!" the voice calls out and all of a sudden more voices join calling out for help.
Seeing his friends struggling to take down the brute while he struggles on the floor and held, he walks up into the hex with Arianna, squeezes in with her and then blast the brute with a lightning bolt.
Krenn did hit Cabbage head, hard and tearing off large chunks of his flesh and then as Arianna attacks her bladed scarf the blade slices into his throat and the cabbage head remains laying there, bleeding out.
Jerin will look over the big man's possessions for a key before peering over the edge from where he heard the women's voice to see what is down there.

The only other thing on the ogre besides the keys is the studded leather armour that appears to be masterwork quality.
The woman down in the pit smiles up to you. She's a halfling who appears ot be glad to see you. She's still wearing her armour and cloths but has no obvious weapons on her.
"I'm glad you're here. Please, let me and the others out before the horrible man comes to choose one of us for his experiments. she calls up to Jerin as she looks like she needs help getting up as she tries to climb the pit but appears to be having difficulty.
You can see the pit that she's in is rancid with bare straw in a corner. The conditions are filthy and there are no obvious toilet so, it's in the condition of a zoo pen only without the luxury of someone cleaning it. This is only one of the pits, who knows how bot the other two pits might be.
Does Krenn believe her?
Sense Motive 1d20+
You don't think she's acting suspecious or witholding anything.
Curnach helps her out of the pit without hesitation, but watches her closely upon seeing Krenn's scrutiny.

1d20+6 Sense Motive
Again, you're certain that she's being sincer and she smiles up at you all, dusting herself off.
"Thank you. I thought I was going to end up like the others that were taken out there." she smiled to you all. "I don't have anything of value on me, my items were taken off me but I swear I'll pay you back." you hear the other people in the other pits calling up as they want to be rescued too.
We still have one more room to search before we can escort you out of here. Please do not leave this chamber until we come for you. We will not be long.
Curnach looks over to the smoother Arianna, his eyes petitioning assistance with the strangers.

"If you insist. I'll help you pull the others up. I know of a tunnel back over there where I came in here, hoping to steal something." she explains to the group, looking nervous as she wanted to leave the area. She walks over to Cabbage head and kicks his body a few times in anger.

We will come back to escort you to safety, Rolth may still be around so please do not try to leave here until we return we wouldn't want you to run into him accidentally, we should not be long.
As they leave towards the last room to the rest of the group, I have magic to locate any secret doors, chambers, or compartments. We should sweep the complex after we find the remaining parts of the boys body and find Rolth. Odd that he would be locked behind a barred door? If we don't find him there then the sweep will make sure he is not here.
We will return as soon as we can. Here He says, handing her his shortsword. I know its not ideal for you, but hold onto it until we get back in case someone gets past us.
She takes the blade gladly and waves it around a little, getting the feel for the blade in her hand.
"Thanks. We'll wait here for you." she smiles and continues to look over the blade as she continues to do a few simple blade tricks, though more dexterous than sheer force, though she does have trouble as the blade is a bit big for her."My name is Tiora"

It is more likely that he is simply not here at this moment in time. I have spotted the secret doors here with ease thus far.
Stay quiet and vigilant, Tiora, and we will return for you as soon as we can.
To the others, he'll ask Is it the barred door then?
If so, Krenn will set his crowbar and jam against it with all his bulk and might.
Strength check 1d20+3+2
Hmph. Fine then.
Pulling out his axe, he goes to work on the door.
To hit, should be automatic.
Damage 1d10+7
*sigh*
He'll try again, this time aiming at the wood rather than the steel bindings.
Damage 1d10+7
You manage to hack into it, but this door was meant to be boardered strong. You shatter some splinters however you don't do too much to it.
While Krenn works, Curnach ensures that he has provided Guidance to everyone including himself, ready for what lies beyond the door. Just before the last nail or two come out, he casts Produce Flame, ready to hurl at any attackers.
As Krenn opens the door inside looms a large figure. A creature that appears to be made of several different parts of animals and humans. It roars with rage which sounds like a mix between a human and some kind of animal scream.
In it's right hand it clutches a left arm with shoanti marks all over it like the other body peices you have collected so far.
This was one of the things Rolth was thrown out for, a Carrion Golem. Cheaper and easier to construct than a flesh golem due to the usage of any spare parts laying about.
Carrion Golem constructs follow orders of they're creators. Due ot the foul peices that they're constructed from they are known to infect with disease when attacking. They are weak against bludgeoning and slashing weapons
Carrion Golems are immunue to all magic
Althought immune to magic there are certain spells which have effects on them as listed below:
• Gentle repose causes a carrion golem to become stiff and helpless for 1d4 rounds if it fails a Will save against the spell.
• Animate dead causes the various parts of the golem’s body to shudder and tear, dealing 1d6 points of damage per caster level to the golem (no save).
• Any magical attack that deals cold or fire damage slows a carrion golem (as the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds (no save).
• Any magical attack that deals electricity damage hastes a carrion golem (as the haste spell) for 2d6 rounds.

Curnach hurls fire at the beast, the flame in his hand diminishing in size as he throws a sizeable portion of it.
The creature is a Carrion Golem, unfortunately I don't know much else about them...I guess chop it to pieces?
Jerin will move to the NW corner of the room and launch fire a
at it
As Jerin's ligtning bolt crashes into the creature it does not appear to do any damage to the construct, however it appears to power it up when the lightning strikes it and it seems to perk up, however when Curnach hits it with his flame it does the opposite and slows down, becoming sluggish and slow.
Krenn's mighty swing just misses the sluggish creature which now lashes out at Krenn which it's arms slam down onto Krenn's armour, however it didn't appear to deliver enough force to actually harm the dwarf.
rounds of slow.

Attack roll:
Damage:
Burn! Burn! Burn, damn you! Curnach shrieks, hurling the last of his flame at the golem.
5' step back...go team!!!
Fire from Curnach does hit the creature, but it does not appear to have been harmed by the flame in any way, but it does act slowly, slowed down somehow by the flame.
Once again it attempt to stand up but once against falls back down, provoking an AoO from both Krenn and Arianna. Kren's Axe hit's true into the beast, but it remains alive and Arianna's stabs hard, just peircing it's hide.
Krenn's Axe
damage
Arianna's Rapier
In Arianna's attack with her bladed scarf she manages to slice the head off. The creature remains motionless on the floor no-longer fighting and nearby you see the arm it dropped at the begining of combat with the Shoanti tatoos upon it. It's a left arm and appears to match the body peices you found so far.
I think this was the last room. Sweep the complex for any other secret doors of compartments?

We can have a cursory look, but I think we've found it all. Lets get this corpse back to the Shoanti, and escort the others out of here. Arianna, perhaps you could petition refuge from the Captain as well as our regular payment; if the Guard has the resources, I don't want these victims simply back on the street...
