Taking a moment to register his mistake, he felt a little embarrassed. He had been among orcs and thick skull giants to long, he was forgetting some rather simple things about magic. He cast another spell to slow their enemies down.
Must better fighting outdoors, hard to get the angles in here.
Grim faced Zekal again takes a step forward to get an angle on one of the attackers and lets lose two arrows.
Wulfrum stroked his chin a bit and decided that there just wasn't enough room for him at the moment without tripping up the others.
He presented the holy symbol on his shield and slammed his hammer against it lightly, a burst of divine power fell upon the group.
The dire bat finally appears over Crom and unsuccessfully attacks him.
Crom attacks the female ogre.

Lys stares at the ogres falling with an impenetrable gaze, before firing two bolts deep into the patriarch's rune-covered belly.
Grit: 2/4
Lys fires on Pappy shattering an image with one and connecting with the other.
The obese patriarch groans as he takes Lys's bolt in the gut. He grits his teeth and throws the javelin in his hand. The javelin transforms into a bolt of lightning and arcs toward you.

Ducking to the ground, Lys' hair begins stands on end even as she moves away from the lightning. "Stand still, damnit!", she cries out as the crossbow clicks, the arbalest shoving in bolts one by one. "Get 'im!"
Nox largely avoids the streak of lightning, but still tendrils of electricity arc across his armor and singe him a bit. In response, he lowers his axe and dashes forward at the leftmost image, slamming into it with his spiked armor.
"YOWL!" crying furiously as her hair stands on end and lightning chars her fur, Gwen dashes forward in a blur of fur, claws, and smoke, striking the other image of the sorcerous giant.

Crom shakes off the lightning blast and double moves to assist Nox.
Wulfrum double moves into the room, stomping on the fallen orgekin. He grins wickedly at Pappy as he runs out of images.
Pappy remembers his AOO and unsuccessfully slashes at Gwen.
Then, he steps back and fires a scorching ray at the giant dwarf missing again.

Mumbeling to himself Zekal moves into the room and fires off a single arrow.
"Guessing this is well in hand but don't want to just stand around."
Seeing his pet's wounded state, Nox dircts her out of the room with a couple of quick gestures and a stern glare. Then he takes two steps forward and brings his axe down twice on the remaining ogre.
The crossbow whirrs in Lys' trained hands, as another barrage of bolts fly out. Still shaken by the encounter, only one bites deep enough through the ogre's thickened hide to do any significant damage.
After Wulfrum misses with his artifact, Pappy dies under Nox's slashes and Lys crossbow bolts.

"Lets hope that is the end of this house of horrors. Somehow this..." he pokes Pappy with his toe "thing seems to have had the same supernatural apatite that bothered some of us."
Crom will search the bodies and the room. "Let's find those blasted bones."
Wulfrum points to the headless skeleton at the center of the ritual. "No need to look, he's right there. Now what were we suppose to do, burn em or just bring em to the ghost?" he asked honestly a bit confused at this part.
"We have to return the full set to the alter and then smash them. I already told you this a few hours ago tops."
He throws his arms up. Lorn mimics his movements on his shoulder, the pair walk over to the body of Pappy to search for any magic or scrolls the brute didn't use up during the fight as well as anything else interesting.
"Yeah... You do that. I'll be outside.", mumbles Lys, turning around and leaving the room. Walking outside of the chattel room, Lys reloads her crossbow and sits on the massive stairs.
Wulfrum shrugs at Nerak. He occasionally forgot things....you know ogresses flapping about and such.
He sat his pack down and started loading up all the bones. Once everyone was done looking over the corpses and handing him all the stuff they didn't want to carry, he was more than happy to catch up with Lys and make their way to the altar.
"Right, should have known that now that I think. This cannibalism thing really has me shaken. Lets see what we find and then get this going."
Zekal takes his time look around the room with the help of detect magic. Once complete he will help scoop up what he can.
Crom shrugs, "Let's get on with it then."
He leads the way back to the alter.
Nox nods to Crom and helps move the skeleton.
On Pappy, you find two scrolls of speak with dead, a wand of summon monster III (8 charges), two javelins, quarterstaff, a headband of alluring charisma +2, and an unholy symbol of Zura.
Tamand Varias’s skeleton still wears his uniform — a noble’s outfit in surprisingly good condition (worth 75 gp) — as well as his signet ring (worth 45 gp) and gold chain of office, which together are (worth 100 gp).
After destroying the castellan's bones on the altar of Iomedae, the spirit of Fabian Blix reappears. "Thank you. You have cleansed the fort of the curse and the disgrace of Tamand Varias’s cannibalism. Iomedae and I appreciate your service. Your reward is secreted in her statue." He then fades away like a good Jedi.
Inside an impossibly difficult to find inside the statue, you find a magic medallion on a necklace.

Zekal is quiet for a moment as the ghost fades from this existence. Privately he is somewhat relieved, as always, that the idea of life after death is confirmed.
"If nothing else we have protected Truneau and the free peoples from a dire threat. The orcs remain, should they be dealt with? I am of two minds on that but will go with the groups decision."
Crom scowls, "May I recommend killing every last one of those green skinned buggers? It will be fun and a service to civilization."
