The ogre yells incoherently, continues its advance and is met with more arrows and a flying Dire wolf [87 damage]
Range to ogre 40' total Damage 95
"Damned stupid brute, too stubborn to die" Inikai spits.
Then he clenches his fists and furrows his brow while looking at the giant. A moment later, a tentacle erupts from the ground beneath the ogre and flails about at the humanoid.

Chance of something else...
Esteriande advances ahead of the rest of the party, taking up a defensive stance and readying an attack.

Round 3?
"Guess he's too stupid to take a good deal while it's on the table, Randi."
Romon quickly nocks and looses two more arrows as the ogre closes the range. No ogre's going to get within hitting range of his girlfriend if he can help it.
Shortbow ... damage
Shortbow ... damage
The ogre would have meleed with Ali this round so no AoO but she kills him anyway before he can get his blow in.
The way along the Dam is clear.
Esteriande advances in the lead, picking her way with great care, looking first at the ogres, then at the block house in the centre of the dam.

Checking to ensure that none have suffered injury requiring his attention, Marak turns to scan for magical auras and anything of obvious value on the fallen giant-kin, tossing whatever catches his eye in the haversack before trotting to catch up with the others.
He peers at the damage to the dam as he advances, attempting to determine if there is any solution to repair the damage.
To Naria and Ali, he asks quietly, "Can you conjure walls of stone? Or think of a better solution to attempt to staunch the damage to the dam?"
Marak's question takes Inikai aback until the later realizes that it was not directed at him. The challenge of staunching the flow of water is beyond his knowledge or understanding. Quietly, he stands fast and hopes that one of the others can call forth some means of stemming the breach.
"Let's not linger too long here if the dam cannot be fixed. If Black Magga returns we are in the most vulnerable position possible."
"No Cant cast that so may I suggest fixing it the old fashioned way?"
"So the octopus is in the lake, and the skull headed dam's going to break. So down the stairs we should slide and to the fair ferry we should ride, else it disappears in a bigger flood and all are dead for now and good."
A puzzled look is Inikai's only reaction to hearing Romon wax poetic.
Romon frowns. It sounded better in his mind than spoken out loud. Oh well. Onward.
Shall we reheat to dairy and warn them or what?"
"We should cross the damn," The ranger looks were the Ogres were, "There could more across the damn we can't see through this rain that are still causing damage. The question is how to not get swept down to the river below."
At talk of seeing what's on teh other side of them damn, nods, pointing to her chest "Ali fly and go see what on other side of damn, yes yes. You no worry, she be right back." and without further hesitation, she flows to hawk form and wings to the other side of the damn, making sure to keep high enough to avoid casual notice or attack.
On the way, she swoops down to check on Lunas and the mounts.
There is nothing on the other side of the dam as far as Ali can see..the center of the structure is dominated by a sort of blockhouse that might contain the controls to the sluices..opening the sluice gate will relieve the pressure on the dam itself and stop the uncontrolled flood.
"If ze dam breaks, ze entire town will be swept away, and much more besides," Esteriande says. "We 'ave to find a way of avoiding zis, if we cannot repair ze dam. Zat building, it may 'old a clue."
Esteriande advances toward the building that bisects the dam.
"If I understand things correctly, opening the dam to let the water flow steadily will still flood the town. We need to alert the townsfolk before we do this."
Then he turns to Ali and asks "Ali, how fast can you fly to the town and tell them that we will open the gate?"
"We should let them know that they have to prepare right away. Then, once Ali returns, we can open the dam. That should give them enough time, I hope."
"Zey know what we came to ze dam to do, Inikai, zey are as prepared as zey can be," Esteriande points out.
Just before taking wing AkiHawk looks back at Esteriande, waiting for final word from her other pack leader as to whether she should warn the village or not.
"Yes you are correct, Esteriende. Any more delay would simply help our enemies."
"Yes you are correct, Esteriende. Any more delay would simply help our enemies."
"Zey are all dead." Romon says deadpan. "We are like a plague leaving only Pharasma's peace in our wake."
Naria follows gradualy becoming more and more giddy the more of the Dam they explore.
"It could be better. It could be sunny."
Romon unstrings his bow, winds the string around one hand, and tucks it under his hat.
Naria's excitement puzzles Inikai. He still does not know what to make if the sorceress.
In response to Romon he says:"It could be sunny and we could have charming young barmaids serving us ale."
Deciding that the decision has been made, AliHawk still swoops down to check on Lunas and the mounts, and then wings back up to rejoin the others before they make it to the block house.
The Central Blockhouse..which is built to resemble a pile of skulls...how nice....has two double doors leading into it..one to the northern side the other to the south
"Romon, you are ze man for ze doors," Esteriande nods to the rogue.
Deciding that the decision has been made, AliHawk still swoops down to check on Lunas and the mounts, and then wings back up to rejoin the others before they make it to the block house.
"Oh just look at the craftmanship" Naria pointing at the carved skulls
Naria's excitement puzzles Inikai. He still does not know what to make if the sorceress.
In response to Romon he says:"It could be sunny and we could have charming young barmaids serving us ale."
"In Magnimar. I know a little waterfront place with a view of the Irespan at sunset."
"Romon, you are ze man for ze doors," Esteriande nods to the rogue.
Romon rolls his eyes at Inikai. "WOrk, work ,work." He trots off to the doors and whips one open if it isn't trapped.

He's just not worried about listening.

As Roman investigates the door for some giantish perfidy, Marak replies to Naria, "An odd design to be sure, out of sorts with the tastes of this lands ancient rulers, and more fitting to a different also-dead nation a hundred leagues to the west and currently overrun with orcs. I wonder if this dam predates even Varisia's ancient history and was made by some people even they knew not?"
"With decoration such as this," The ranger points to the skulls, "Surely only foul things can be found within."
It would have helped if Romon had given me some indication of which door he is opening
Knowledge history on the dam to see if she can remember who the creator was
Enginerring same thing
The Dam is definitely Thassilonian.
The door opens into a 20' wide corridor which runs a short distance ahead before turning north..There is a single door on the southern wall in the SE corner
Esteriande examines the passageway for signs of occupants or that the ogres came this way.
Perception:
Once Romon has declared that the entrance is safe, Inikai follows the others inside.
While Randi checks the passageway, Romon checks the SW door.
