Ghun slays the remaining dog and Daardra puts the handler to sleep. The party quickly finishes off the sleeping enemy and find 900GP worth of goods for later sale.
Stairs lead up to the top level of the tower where the drums continue to beat with incessant fury.
CMW on Ghun
Ghûn was only at -8hp after Eng's channel last round. Save the CMW.
Head up the stairs
+1 traps
Eng follow Ghûn and Orett.
The stairs wind up the tower to the second story where a barracks room has been gone through for anything of value. Another set of stairs winds up to the third floor of the tower that overlooks the Inner Quarter; the beat of the drums rattles your skulls somewhat and you can hear the hoots and cries of orcs as they fire arrows down into the darkness at unsuspecting Trunauans. At the stop of the stairs is an iron reinforced trapdoor that looks well secured against opening.
Is there a lock, can Ghûn use disable device to open the trapdoor?
It looks like the door is locked on the other side, although you see a lock on this side as well that is currently not in use.
You will have to bash/hack the door to get to the tower level above.
Hack and bash is Ghûn's specialty!
With a single mighty blow, Ghun sunders the sturdy iron-bound door revealing the night sky beyond. The thunder of drums is now almost deafening.
Good shot Ghun!
Move through the door.
The party finishes their ascent to the top of the tower to find a half dozen orcs that have been firing arrows down into the chaotic scene below. They are led by an orc of massive proportions who is beating a drum made of what looks like skin and bone. The top of his two drum sticks hold human skulls. He is not surprised to see you and shouts out-Maak hulle dood. Maak hulle almal dood!
The orc archers use their prepared position to strike, abandoning their bows to engage in a hand to hand frenzy! The drumming orc continues to drum and also begins to chant a strange orc war song.

This spell afflicts the subject with uncontrollable laughter. It collapses into gales of manic laughter, falling prone. The subject can take no actions while laughing, but is not considered helpless. After the spell ends, it can act normally. On the creature’s next turn, it may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. This is a full round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If this save is successful, the effect ends. If not, the creature continues laughing for the entire duration.

Misread your action! :( you don't drop the half-orc, but you do stun it and then drop it the next round with a scissor kick that crushes its rib cage. Thusly, the half-orc is unable to attack Eng last round.
Still the orc on Daardra and the drumming orc.
