"Mágus Páncél", Grumthar says quietly, taking a moment to refresh mage armor for another hour.
He follows along with the party to investigate...
Jamadar nods silently to Agromite, bow in hand as he checks the doorway for traps before proceeding stealthily through it.
Shae stands near the middle of the room, trying to keep his eyes on everyone as they search the pillars. Noticing that nothing is found, he walks over to where Jamadar is searching the door and prepares to follow him through.
'when are we going to find something worth taking?' His frustration growing, Einar blurts out, "Das Zimmer ist so leer wie das letzte," Following at his companions he moves through the doorway behind Agromite and Jamadar. "Ya let us go through zee door toward za water zound."

As you enter into the next room, the sound of the water becomes loud enough to drown out whispers. The sound comes from the corners of the room, where you can see pillars with channels cut into them to permit water to flow down, collecting in pools at the base of each pillar.
You also detect a rather large figure lurking in the southwest corner. A smaller figure lies beside him, seemingly dead or unconscious. As you enter, the larger figure rises to its full ten-foot height and hefts a club nearly as tall as its body.
INITIATIVE
Jamadar
Shae
Ogre
Grumthar
Agromite
Einar
Jamadar yells out a warning, dropping his bow and stabbing with his rapier imbued with magic as he steps to the side.
What. What is that? Oh crap.ogre.
"Ogre!", Grumthar roars. With a powerful gesture he shouts,"Mágikus Rakéta!", and a missile of force strikes the vile ogre true.
force damage
Shae says a prayer to Bolka and touches Einar on the shoulder before stepping back from the doorway.

Evandriel's strike catch the ogre in the left thigh, but the monster seems to ignore the damage as it charges forward. Shae taps Einar on the shoulder and steps back as the ogre's club comes down in an overhead swing. It catches Einar across the skull, sending the big man to the ground! No sooner does the club connect than Grumthar blasts the ogre with a magic missile. The creature staggers slightly, but remains standing and roars a challenge to the half-orc.
Bloody hell, thats a big boy!
Peeking around the corner and seeing the ogre, Agromite quickly considers his options. A smirk crosses his face as he comes to a decision.
"Hey, big fella!" the gnome snaps his fingers and a small burst of light goes off right in front of the ogre's face. Not waiting to see if the beast is distracted or not Agromite tumbles into the room in an attempt to set himself up for his next attack.
Jamadar attempts to trick the beast. As he stabs again with his rapier he moves his other hand and mutters an incantation. An illusion (silent image) supersedes that of Einar, and the barbarian appears to get up and wipe blood from his face, menacing the ogre with his weapon.
Einar no! And no more missiles ... this is really bad.
Taken aback by how easily our mighty warrior has been felled, Grumthar prepares for the worst. "Földrengés!", he shouts as he commands the earth beneath the Ogre to violently quake.
vs Trip CMD of Ogre
Shea pulls his hand back in shock as the barbarian crumbles to the ground. He hesitates, trying to determine if the ogre can reach him with his weapon.
"Get the ogre to move so I can get to Einar!" he yells as he drops his battleaxe and shield and pulls out his longspear.
Einar, after taking a devastating blow to the head and shoulder, crumples to the ground like a ragdoll; unconscious, blood pouring from a large crack in the side of his head, where the club careened off his skull and shattered his shoulder.
Hearing the panic in Jamadar's voice, Shae then steps closer to the ogre and tries to stab it with his longspear, but is afraid to get too close and misses.
Jamadar has the illusion remain menacing but refrain from hitting as he shifts defensively.
"Speak." he says, delaying his action at the slightest movement.
"How long have you been trapped here? And, what is going on in this place?"
"You have hurt our friend, but he looks like he will live. We did not mean to invade your home. We are trapped as well and are exploring for a way out."
Jamadar grunts but continues to listen, and continues to stay on guard for any tricks.
The gnome lets the others continue the parlay while slowly inching his way around.
Shae tries to judge if the orge is telling the truth.
"I need to help my companion," he says pointing to Einar. He then pulls him out of the room and out of reach of the ogre. Once safe, he tries to stop the bleeding and then prays to Bolka to help his wounded friend.
Once he is stabilized and the orge is no longer a threat, he casts a healing spell.
Frustrated that he is not able to heal his companion very much, he again says a healing prayer to Bolka.
'death is always so close' Einar awakens slowly, the wound on his head and shoulder visibly mending as the dwarven cleric prays. Einar sits up moving his shoulder slowly, looking at Shae he begins "Dieser verdammte Ogre, ich hoffe, ihr Jungs fixiert es gut." Realizing he was speaking his native tongue, he looks around, 'I have been moved to the hallway and ask "The blasted Ogre, did we break his club when we killed him? If the club is intact I will use it."

"What going on? This be bad place. Come in, but not go out again. Longtail lead big group of us in, but after we lost, no one cares about Longtail. Now fight each other. Orghar am big orc leader, now. He try control this place. But others fight him. There also nastybad monsters here, like giant rats and flying blackness. I been here for many days."
'"This be bad place" we didn't kill the ogre, now what do we do with him, lead him out or use him as a 'meat shield'' Hearing the ogre's voice in the next room Einar looks at Shae and whispers "Ve didn't kill zee Ogre? Oh vell, Maybe ve can use it as a meat shield, ya"
"would you like some fresh rat meat." Grumthar offers. Maybe he'll open up more and be less likely to act impulsively out of hunger.
Who or what Is Longtail and why did he lead a group of you down here?
Also, who is that crumpled up on the ground?", Grumthar inquires.
An ogre ally could be very useful down here
<groans> and rises slightly putting his hand to the back of his head. "What was that..." he stammers gruffly as he starts to look around.
Einar shrugs his shoulders, rolling his eyes "Der Oger im Begriff war, die Sie essen, kamen wir in und es hat uns angegriffen, jetzt sind wir alle Freunde." Calming down a little Einar points out the obvious "You were hit by ze Oger." pointing to monster, asking his fellow adventurers "Ve should help our Dvwarven vriend, ya? Zen ve may continue, zee oger may have zee point, unless ve are showing him zee exit."
Scrambles to his feet, exclaiming out loud as he does so "By Gorum's bloody beard, an orge you say lad?!" He notices the ogre and takes a few steps back, but looks at the ogre... "Well now laddie, when you smack a friend on the head, you at least owe him a good tankard of ale!"
Einar looks from the monster to the dwarf, then shrugging his shoulders and mumbling under his breath "Nun, da ich bin nicht dabei, werden mit dem Oger Waffe können wir auch weiterhin." Then looking to the rest of the team he asks, "Shall ve proceed, Da?" As he asks his question he walks across the room, the gnomes Ioun stone spinning about his head, the sorcerer's Morningstar in hand, finding the door on the opposite side like the tree previous rooms he walks into the doorway and looks around.
Laughs at the ogre, "Well said, well said.". He follows the human over to the door and says here, let me do this. With that he gives a a quick prayer and scans the door
Shae greets the dwarf and checks that he is ok. "I'm afraid I don't have any ale to give you, but it looks like our ogre friend here has found some water. Is it drinkable?" he asks the ogre.
When he sees Einar trying to move to the next room, he speaks up. "Hold on there Einar. You took a serious blow. You need some rest, as do I if you want me to be able to heal you again." He looks around the room and checks the water in the fountain.
Shuts the door then, "Sounds like there is some needs for rest." Waggles his finger at the ogre, "Just no hitting me on the head again!"
Shaking his head he moves back over to the hulking human and sets a hand on him, saying a prayer to Gorum.
'safe to rest?' Einar watches as Shae chats with the Ogre like they are old friends and as the new dwarf that was just recovering from the lump the Ogre gave him shuts the door closing them in with the monster begins talking about sleep.
Einar looks around the room asking: "Sind Sie alle verrückt? Sind wir wirklich gehen, um mit dem Oger hier bei uns am Leben zu schlafen?" Einar shakes his head in disbelief "I vill take a vatch, shall it be virst, ya?"
can't trust a hungry ogre any farther than I could throw him
"I will gladly take a watch turn as well. Grumthar then turns to the Ogre, "Bragdor, about where would we run into this Longtail fellow? And what is he exactly? Also, about where would Orghar be found?
Shae looks around the room. "I don't care if you stay up or not, but I need to pray and get some sleep. If anyone is still in need of some healing, I can provide a little before I turn in."
