Kurag will approach one of the doors leading out of the chapel area and use his ranger trap ability to try and limit anyone coming after them from a different direction.
A flight of stairs climbs to a large balcony blocked off by a great curtain stitched together from patches of animal hides. The wooden benches that once spanned this choir loft have been torn out, smashed, and pushed against the walls. Toward the rear of the balcony, thick woolen blankets and furs cover a great pile of stuffed sacks. Nearby, flies swarm around a collection of wooden casks that stink of honey and alcohol.
You see a very inebriated hill giant and two other hill giants that seem to be waiting on him.

Rask and Brother Hawthorne finish off Red!
"Huzza!"
"Six down, ninety four to go!" growls Rask. He looks to Sven and Brother Hawthorne, "I need some serous healing please" as he cleans the giant blood off Agrimmosh and himself.
Once he is healed up, he looks to Kurag, "which way now?"
Brother Hawthorne will move to Rask and casts CMW on him...

Kurag will loot the bodies for anything of value that the dwarves could use. they really needed to find a set of medium sized weapons and armor for Brother Hawthorne but that didn't seem to be the case at the moment. As for where to go from here...he didn't really know. I have that doorway trapped over there so if anyone tries to come that way we will know. I suggest we take this other avenue and see where it leads.

"Thank you Brother Hawthorne. Sven, before we move on, I could use a bit more healing, if you are able."
Brother Hawthorne will reach out and heal Rask twice more...
As Kurag approaches the door, he can hear the ruckus of boisterous voices echoing behind its doors, punctuated with the sounds of cracking wood and smashing pottery.
Kurag signals to the others what he is hearing. Once Rask is in place up front he will open the doors and ready to investigate the noise.
Rask watches Kurag as he looks at and listens at the door.
"Thanks Brother Hawthorne. I feel much better now."
Stealth
Sven stood by, his hammer gripped firmly in hand. While he hoped that Kurag would be able to scout the area out, he was ready to engage in traditional 'dwarven diplomacy' should stealth fail.
Rough wooden benches sit alongside huge feasting tables the size of river rafts, stained black with beer and blood. Atop the tables lie greasy piles of chipped wooden bowls of congealed stew, piles of bruised apples and scorched root vegetables, dirty iron cutlery, and the cracked bones of half-eaten meat shanks. The floors are equally filthy and are littered with rotting straw, food scraps, and puddles of slop. In huge recesses along the outer walls, iron cauldrons suspended by thick chains simmer above blazing fires in massive hearths of soot-blackened stone.
Three huge hogsheads stand against the western wall. The hall is uncomfortably hot and reeks of sweat, fetid stew, and stale beer. Rats skirt the room’s fringes, greedily darting from shadow to shadow.
At the tables sits two hill giants, a frost giant and two barbarian ogres. They did not hear Kurag open the door.
Kurag holds a hand up to the others with all five fingers held up. He then mimics himself sitting down eating. Looking to see if the rest are ready he pulls out an arrow before stepping in and launching it at the frost giant.

Kurag opens the battle!
Brother Hawthorne debates going with confusion, but decides the team will end up attacking everyone anyways, so the effect would be wasted. He instead opts for starting is song again...

Rask stands in the doorway, and readies Agrimmosh while waiting for the foes to come to them.
Sven pointed at the nearest giant, and called out an ancient grudge against it's people. The prayer, if it worked, would fill the giant's mind with the hatred that his people felt towards its kin.
