I swing my scimitar at the closest bat , but it is flitting about and hard to hit!
comere ye winged orc turds! I've got a present for ye!
After the onslaught, the bats continue the assault.
The bats seem more focused than the heroes.
Party up
Staggering beneath the onslaught of bats, Kaelaah tries to freeze another of the rapidly moving targets but his icy blast misses.
"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!", Laro screams as he flaps his hands at the bat, missing it.
I step back from the fray, mutter a prayer and cast Bless!
HP -4/15
Fernand holds a moment to line up a precise skewering...

And ends another bat.

Dolleen squishes one between the tip of her staff and the ceiling. She prepares for another swing after dry heaving a bit.
Bats attack
Confirm roll is 17 total
And, if still alive, the bats attack again!!!
Bats attack
The bats continue to frustrate the heroes, attacking with effective bites.
Since Gilbert has no bats left, next round he will attack other people's bats.
. He will kill two other bats.

"Rats with wings leave me alone!"
Round 1
Round 2
Once more, struggling beneath the endless swarm of bats, Kaelaah's bolts of ice crash harmlessly against the rafters of the building.
I again attack the nearest bat with my scimitar ... and again miss!
comere'! Ivan infuriated thrashes about with both axe and shield
ye durnred flying jackrabbits !
After the three round flurry, the bats return to the attic, realizing the group is no easy prey.
Combat Over
The mining operation is still quiet, the bats having caused little noise, or a noise that is expected around here.
You consider the next building to explore.
"That was disgusting! Suffer no bat to live! Somebody put some fire magic up there and burn them out! What? The building would burn down and let the orcs know we are here? Ok, on the way out we burn this building. I say we check out that building next, but I think we all could use a little healing." Laro points to building 6.
Kaelaah stumbles from the building, he’s terribly sore, scratched and bloodied, his pride is wounded and, worse still, he has bat faeces in his hair.
He sits on the ground for a moment getting his breath back – when the Halfling suggests healing he looks around hopefully…
"Yes, some generalized healing would be good for all of us."
Before the group scatters into movement, Lorkan quietly gathers the injured and draws on the power of Sarenrae, filling the area about him with divine healing energy.
The cleric then checks over the party and reaizes some are not yet fully healed. Sighing at the damage the critters caused, Lorkan renews his call for aid, and another wave of healing energy washes over the group.
Feeling the warm healing washing over him, Kaelaah sighs... Standing, he runs his hands obverse the worst of his wounds... All gone and then runs his hands through his hair... Ewch... Bat mess is still there... S'pose the gods ain't so bothered about stuff like that.... He manages a weak smile towards Lorkan before wandering over towards Laro...
"Thank you, Lorkan. While not pristine, I am certainly servicable now."
Moving to the best looking house in the area, it is obviously made of stone by dwarves. Each stone seems fitted without mortar.
As you approach, an large, ugly creature appears and say, "You are on my yard, you must be punished."
Fernand points out the creature is an ogre. A brute similar to the one you fought before with deadly reach.

Thallan is tired of fighting, his typical tact is diplomacy!
Following Thallan's lead, Gilbert will charge the Ogre.
Fernand slips off to the left of Thallan's charge, out of the ogre's sight as he approaches the entrance...
as he approaches the building's entrance from the left. It looks like he has to double-move.

Gilbert rushes in to engage the ogre after Thallan hits him at range with an arrow. Ivan waits for a better opportunity. The ogre and Gilbert charge at each other in a brutal collision and the ogre swings a brutal blow before Gilbert can close. The ogre shouts, "AARGH, WAAAAAAA!!!" You feel that your presence may no longer be a secret.
The second swing of a massive greatclub hits and cracks a few ribs of Gilbert's (14 B)

Entire party
Ogre
Dolleen sends Jimbli in to bite the ogre, then loads and fires her sling.
Being sure to stay at a safe distance, and with his allies between the ogre and himself, Kaelaah attempts to befuddle his enemy.
On his last legs, Gilbert will attempt to wrestle the Ogre.
"Hold him still! I'll skewer him!, Laro yells as he attacks the ogre while trying to flank with someone.
Dropping his bow, Thallan advance and draws steel.
The ogre tries to hurt Gilbert after a nasty slice, a rapier stab, and a mass of armored spike cuts.
He collapses to the ground afterword with a slight squeeze from Gilbert.
COMBAT OVER
Gilbert has wrestled and beaten an ogre with a little help from his friends!!
I move close to Gilbert and provide a healing touch...
Lorkan steps up beside Amarisa, and adds his call to Sarenrae.
"Amarisa and Lorkan, thank you so much! That single attack of his nearly put me out."
"We should probably take cover before his friends emerge," Fernand says, as he ensures the ogre's death with a lethal stab to the neck.

Laro rifles through the ogres pockets looking for anything valuable.
Laro rifles through the ogre and finds he has some bracelets of a fine silver tied together as a clasp on his rough cloak.
Amarisa identifies the bracelets as:
Aura faint transmutation; CL 4th
Slot wrists; Price 5,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION
These wristbands appear similar to greater bracers of archery, though they are typically constructed of lighter material. They function as greater bracers of archery, except that they grant a +1 competence bonus on attack rolls and no bonus on damage rolls.
As you recover from the fight with the ogre, ten orcs bolt quickly to the building that looks like a huge chimney (building 14). Throwing open the doors they prepare to jump inside. The noise from the burst door echoed across the plateau and alerted you all. Seeing the ogre dead, they seem to be intimidated by you. The orcs are about 240' from you, but you all have a clear line of sight to them.
Everyone has an action-orcs on map as a single token -- chimney is building 14
Take cover! Archers up! Infantry, hold!
Thallan finds partial cover.
Submit to the mercy of the Dawnflower, evil foes!
I try a looong shot at the orcs with my crossbow:
Attack:
Damage:
I hand the Bracers of Archery to Thallan:
Put these on...I think you may put these to the best use...
Seeing the great divide between himself and the orcs, Lorkan works his way over to Thallan, and calls for Sarenrae's hand to guide the elf's arrows.
Gilbert will take cover behind a nearby building, and sling a bullet at the orcs.
Laro fires at the orcs and misses badly.
"They are too far away for me. You'll have to get them."
...we're too far away by half...
Wary of the rain of arrows that is likely to fall in any moment, Kaelaah rushes behind the nearest cover and starts working out the best way to close this distance to the orcs.
"Ha... Ain't gonna attack us. These orcs run before y'can even give'em a good dirty look." She waves her arms and wiggles - commanding the far-off foliage to wrap up the orcs. "Well not this time...."
Fernand takes advantage of the orcs' distraction and races towards them, his crouched posture showing that he's broken am archery line several times before. He makes sure to avoid the vines which have begun to spring out of the ground.
