Karnog moves to the orc and quickly assesses his status. If he still lives, he'll get a quick cure light wounds spell.
Listening for attackers is hard with the wind and rain, but he keeps his head down and ears open as best he can.
Bellowing from behind Desmond and Kalim is Meath'ds voice. "Me take troops to gate.
Desmond you are near Meath'd pulling up the rear leaving the stronghold. Grung is still farther behind.

Desmond moves up to the door and catches a glimpse of Nym heading to the right, but then he blinks. Desmond hears the sound of battle to his left....Split the party...yes, that always works out well for us. Instinctively he follows the sound to the left...hoping to find Karnog out in this torrential mess.
RD: 1 Stone giants:
There a loud sound of wood cracking, something smashed into one of the buildings on the right. There are a few cries in goblinoid coming from that area.
Then there's a bright flash in the air and loud boom. A bolt of lightning has hit a building.
Meath'd with a band of orcs
Meath'd leading a group of orcs rush out into the yard, heading straight towards the gate guard house.
Nym casts shield and then adjust course slightly. He calls out to the others
Kalim follows Nym as best he can, casting Shield as well.
** spoiler omitted **
Nym hollers to Kalim and Aurora
RD 1: Cyclops
Karnog you can hear the sound of battle coming from the other side of the building. As you begin to kneel down to check on the fallen orc, you can see the heavy bolt sticking out of his stomach, the blood is still squirting so you figure he is alive. But just before you act (other than the movement) you catch rustling near the trees and two large figures.
One of the cyclops walks closer and fires a heavy crossbow at you,
;
The second cyclops charges towards you with a greataxe and he chops down at your dinosaur using his 10 foot reach.
;
*Remember right now your vision is limited to 20 feet because of the weather. So you don't see what's happening on the other side of the yard.
**Grung I'm actually going to have you in the 8th Round of donning your armor. There are several orc commoners helping you out. I don't want you having to sit out this battle.

Two rounds remaining for armor.
DMPC Felicitas action:
The bard keeps moving forward to where she remembers the building to be but as she sees the gory goblin scene she pauses for second and hands the injured goblin a potion. In goblin she says, "Drink...it'll heal you...then go warn the others." The bulging eyed goblin blinks in amazement that a "big un" would stop to help.
Felicitas continues forward. She thinks to herself, her inspirational voice will be hard to follow in this torrential downpour. then all of a sudden as you move under a tree you stop cold in your tracks. You can see at the edge of your vision a large shadowy figure that moves...a giant!

*Note: Meath'd is taking up the middle front gate battle. I'll be conducting that in the background and occasionally inserting a comment. The purpose is to show you that this is large complex battle with many facets to keep everyone involved in the action. Plus, it gives me something to do when I'm bored.
Desmond continues his blind stumbling towards Karnog.
Eventually Desmond you see one huge shadowy outline of a monster you've never knew existed. It has a long spiked tail. You also see a large cyclops standing there and at the edge of your vision, you notice Karnog by a someone on the ground.

Stone giants:
Felcitas stops cold seeing a large shape at the edge of her field of vision. She decides it's time to slow her movement and get back to the protection of the others but her reaction is just a bit too slow. Suddenly, she sees four large paws bounding toward her, the creature's nose twitching, as the brown matted fur rushes towards her...a dire bear. It roars loudly, the sound sets off answers from others that are nearby, as it dashes towards it's next meal.
;
confirming crit:
;
-----
Just as the dire bear attacks, the stone giant lumbers forward with massive greatclub ready to attack anyone that gets near. Fortunately for Felicitas the stone giant does not see her underneath the tree canopy.
-----
Other parts of the compound are under fierce attack as the battle rages on. There building that Felicitas was heading towards is in tinder stick now as it's been smashed by stone giants.
----
Nym cast Blur then continues toward where he saw the caster
RD 2: Cyclops
The dazed cyclops simply stand there blinking but his companion steps up 5 feet to bash the foul small angelic human with his greataxe. (using his 10 feeot reach.)

;
*The orc is one step closer to dying as his life blood leaves his body.

As Karnog faces the challenge he hears sounds from the other side of the Dino...more cyclops on the the way.

"Foolish giant. Now you'll feel the pain of righteous anger, from my hammer and my ally's tail!"
Karnog touches the downed orc and points at the not dazed cyclops, whispering "Attack" to Smashy as he does.
CLW (dropping ant haul)

The second cyclops is dazed for the moment.
