This is the largest hut in the village. A curtain of brightly colored beads hangs over the hut’s entrance, further emphasizing the building’s importance.
Inside of the hut are three frog like humanoids who answer the question by croaking an answer.
Abomentolor turns towards the rest of the group.
From the neighbouring hut emerges another of these frog like creatures wielding a primitive version of a morning star and lets out a terrifying croak that is heard all over the village.
"Does that count as an attack already?" Abomentolor asks and readies a scorching ray in case the frog attacks him for real.
The boggard lifts it's morning star and charges Abomentolor.
Abomentolor fires a scorching ray at the charging frog. "That is an attack! Now I'm allowed to let it burn!"
Tauriell shoots two arrows at the boggard.
"One boggard in a Village, this is an trap or?" Darthdy says and casts create flame.
The boggard drops to the ground in front of Abomentolor.
Another boggard approaches from the south and from the hut behind him one comes running to smack the gnome over his head.
Abomentolor takes a step back and casts fire breath. "Now it gets interesting. Come to daddy!"
Tauriell shoots two arrows at the boggards. One at each.
Darthdy throws a flame to one of the boggards
The two boggards close up to the gnome and attack him.
Two more boggards come out of the huts around the fire place. One moves towards the elves and one towards the gnome.
Abomentolor takes a step back and douses the boggards in a cone of fire.
All three boggards are badly burned. The two boggards that are already wounded drop to the ground. The one who just came from the hut barely stands.
Darthdy trys to touchs the boggard who stands in front of her.
Tauriell shoots two arrows at the boggard in front of her.
One more boggard storm towards the gnome but it's still some distance away. Two more come towards the rest of the group. Also from the hut at the prominent position where the trail takes a turn a very strong looking boggard emerges with a bow and shoots at the gnome.
The badly burned boggard lifts it's morning star and swings it at Abomentolor.
The boggard with the elves attacks tauriel.
Abomentolor coughs another fire breath as the standing boggard.
The boggard drops to the ground. Abomentolor has now partial cover from ranged attacks as the bodies lie on the ground.
Tauriell drops the bow and moving to the boggard she draws her blade and cuts it down.
Another Boggard drops to the ground.
The two boggards storm at Tauriell.
The big boggard shoots two arrows all over the village at Darthdy.
Abometolor moves towards the fat boggard to cast some more fire. "Wait 'til I get to you." he threatens.
Darthdy goes to a flanking position to flank the boggard by Tauriell and touch the boggard.
Tauriell get an evil grin on her face as she tries to cut the flanked boggards head off.
But the grin disappears as she misses it by hairs width.
As Abomentolor moves down the trail and towards the fat boggard he comes past a pond. A loud croak comes out of it and a tentacled frog monster waves around.
The two boggards try to hit Tauriell again.
The fat boggard shoots at the gnome this time.
Abomentolor moves until he is in reach and shoots a ray of fire at the fat boggard.
Tauriell makes another attempt at ending the boggard.
Gwenhwyfar looks at the not flanked boggard who attacks Tauriell and uses her sleep hex on him.
Darthdy touchs the boggard again.
The boggard falls instantly asleep.
The other one attacks Tauriell again.
The fat boggard shoots again at the gnome.
Tauriell becomes desperate. That bog frog hits her every time and she doesn't manage to hit that clumsy thing.
Well. This time it works and the boggard loses it's head.
Abomentolor really likes the effect of the ray so he sends another one.
The fat boggard comes a step closer.
Tauriell delivers a coup de grace to the boggard at the ground.
Abomentolor's fire glows in his eyes. "You think you can do that longer than I can? Guess again."
Gwenhwyfar heals Abomentolor through the scar.
The boggard doesn't give up despite the bad burns.
Abomentolor's moves closer and douses the frog in flames.
The fat bogggard is burned unconscious.
Gwenhwyfar moves to Tauriell and heals her.
"It's a shame. Where ever we arrive we leave a pile of bodies." Gwenhwyfar sighs
"It's not my fault. I didn't do anything. They attacked first!" Abomentolor replies. But it's clear that the outcome of the encounter is to his liking.
"It's refreshing to see someone who refuses to get used to it." Tauriell replies as she starts searching the bodies for valuables. She casts detect magic to ensure she doesn't miss something.
On casting detect magic Tauriell notices that the rapier from the skeleton is magic. The majority of the boggards has nothing magical. They wear some mundane studded leather armour and wield a morningstar made from bones an sinew. But they also have three daggers each that are of fine making and for sure not from around here.
The fat boggard has a magic bow, a magic studded leather and some magic arrows.
Not knowing about the armour Tauriell doesn't care. But the bow she identifies using the pedant of the souk.
"A few nice things we have here." Tauriell says pulling the magic bow to see if it fits her. "A magic bow, rapier and armor. And some special arrows against reptilian humanoids."
"Gwen, would you please check what kind of magic the armor has?"
"Sure." Gwenwhyfar replies and casts detect magic.
"Sorry, I have no idea."
"Let me!" Abomentolor says and tries his luck.
But he frowns as he also comes up with a blank.
"Who cares. We'll find out later. Bind it on Brutus' back."
"Let's check if we find a place for the night. maybe one of these huts will do."
Tauriell casts cure light wounds on herself and checks the hut where the fat boggard came out.
The hut stands in the bog and so Tauriell stands in the water up to her waist. The hut is really nice. Simple in its making but sturdy and comfortable. If you're a boggard and like sitting in four foot deep water.
