Trunau is truly a town on the frontier. The frontier between the world of Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and the like and the world of Orcs and Giants. It will take a brave and hardy group of adventurers to defend Trunau and the region from what is about to come.
Suddenly Kaos starts to feel his skin swelling and crusting over in parts.
Loss 1d2 Con Dmg; 1d2 Cha Drain:1d2 ⇒ 21d2 ⇒ 1
Kaos loses 2 points of Constitution, and 1 point of Charisma.
The ugly giantess was wearing magic armor, that Leira identifies as +2 leather armor. She was also wearing a magic amulet, which Leira identifies as an Amulet of Natural Armor (+2). One of the Ogres was carrying a sack with over-sized silver coins. There were 18 of these rare and ancient coins worth about 50gps a piece.
You find nothing else of value.
The valley on this side of the bridge does not lead to Cathedral. The next pass to the north and left leads to the Cathedral.

What hit me? Magic on the weapon she was using or a spell?
Kaos will start to walk over to Haskyll. But starts to stumble.
I don't feel so good.

Treat Disease: To treat a disease means to tend to a single diseased character. Every time the diseased character makes a saving throw against disease effects, you make a Heal check. If your Heal check exceeds the DC of the disease, the character receives a +4 competence bonus on his saving throw against the disease.

Started with Anga's comment of Leper!! Unclean!!
Was in the Thomas Covenant books. White Gold Wielder, Lord Fouls Bane, the Illearth War, The One Tree, The Wounded Land, and I cannot remember the last one.
Aye, Leira, I can help him, but he has to drink this solution for a couple of days, then he should be right as rain
He proffers Kaos the foul smelling drink.
I will be making another one for you in the morning, when I have had a chance to ask him for a cure spell as well.

Well, I have no issues with going to the Cathedral, but I am thinking that we return to a city after that.
We will need to rest and recoup equipment after that.
Cannot cast cure disease until the morning, but I can back that up with a solid heal check for his save.

Sounds wise Haskyll. The first and second chronicles of thomas covenant was pretty good. The main character had lepersy
As Ulfgard leaves the bodies of the ugly female giant and her ogres behind, the Ranger pushes on through this valley. At places it widens with stands of trees. It becomes a steady climb after a mile or so. As the party rises out of the marshes, the ground again is covered in packed snow. Small clumps of green shrubs and twisted trees poke their way up through the snow revealing a weathered and stony earth. The thick roots of the trees burrow haphazardly into the earth while their leafy tops mingle to form a low canopy that stretches across the lazy slopes of the valley.
As the party reaches the end of this side valley, a flock of birds suddenly screams upward into the sky, followed by a tremendous roar and shouts echoing from somewhere up ahead.
A pair of cyclops and a hill giant appear to be attempting to capture a manticore. As the party approaches, the manticore is frantically trying to fly away, but the hill giant has miraculously managed to get a rope around the creature’s rear legs, entangling it. The giants are too preoccupied by their prey to notice the party's approach.

Ulfgard will move forward towards the left cyclops.
In round one he will charge the left and attack, holding his hammer in booth hands. Then he will flick his shield in place.
Attack:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 262d6 + 22 ⇒ (1, 2) + 22 = 25
"What the hell are they doing with that manticore?" Leira produces a piece of licorice root and uses it to cast haste on the party as the battle breaks in "Those giants are more dumb at each day" then moves slightly forward.

Ragnir reacting quickly touches the party as he brings up a Communal Protection from Evil on everyone before anyone else was able to act.
First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.

Probably waiting on me.
will:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 countering haste Glad I got that 1 out of the way. :(
Haskyll quickly drops the mules lead, and brings up a Torags blessing for the group.
Blessing of Fervour:
School transmutation;
Level cleric 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless);
Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
With this blessing, you call your allies to move forth and empower them to conquer and become victorious. Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
• Increase its speed by 30 feet.
• Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
• Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
• Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
• Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can’t use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.
Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.
Giants are still flat-footed through Droja. Ulfgard has already posted his Round One actions.
Another note: With all the spells, shields, communal Protection from Evil, Blessing of Fervor, Haste, please let me know your AC. Some things may not stack. Thanks.

Kaos will move up behind the fire elemental and will use his dragon breath.

The Hill Giant and the Manticore dodged some of the fiery blast, but both Cyclops with their backs turned, took the full brunt of Kaos' breath weapon.
Ulfgard charges the first Cyclops. He pounds on it with Agrimmosh.
Haskyll runs up and readies Heartspit for an attack.
The Fire Elemental appears and does a dance, but little else.
Droja moves forward.
The first Cyclops turns around and makes a pair of swings at Ulfgard with its greataxe. The Cyclops clips Ulfgard with its back-swing, a lucky hit that would have otherwise missed the well defended Dwarf.
With a shriek, the second Cyclops turns and hacks at the Fire Elemental. It slices up the fiery creature sending it back to the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Leira fires a pair of arrows at the rope binding the Manticore. Her first arrow severs the rope freeing the winged beast.
The Hill Giant is momentarily startled by the breath weapon and the severing of the rope. It moves through the woods, becomes uneasy when it sees Haskyll, but then takes a swing anyway at Ulfgard with its big wooden club. But the attack fails to penetrate the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian's defense.
The Manticore angrily flies straight up fifty feet in the air. In its anger it fires off a volley of spikes from its tail. It aims at the Hill Giant, both Cyclops, and Kaos too. None of the spikes found their targets.
Hill Giant Will Save vs Nail Mail:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Cyclops 1 Will Save vs Nail Mail:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Cyclops 2 Will Save vs Nail Mail:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Kaos will step up into the but where's the fire Elemental so recently gave him cover and will start to slash and bite at the second Cyclops.

"Seems you made her really angry!" Leira shouts amused at Kaos, while changing her aim now towards the giant to whom she seem to have a clear line. Arming her arrows with arcane magic, she shots. Twice!

Ulfgard could hold his actions and work to finish off the now helpless Hill Giant. The Cyclops are near gone too. And the Manticore is flying away. I will wait for Ulfgard's actions before recapping. @Anga - I could see you waiting until the recap before taking actions. Just as well preserve your spells.
