Haskyll moves quickly to get further away from the troll.
Laughing at the feeble poison Ulfgard continues to hack and slash
Missing again
Mordea continues to try and get a shortsword into a Half-Orc belly. She does manage to strike a blow, just not as a critical of a strike as she was hoping.
Ragnir moves quickly around the dead dire wolf to put himself behind Ulfgard and Mordea, so he can help them if needed.
Anga moves to clearly see the 1/2 orc, and throws another force missile
Mordea almost deals a critical blow to the Blonde Half-Orc.
Ragnir moves up behind Ulfgard and Mordea to be ready for support.
Ulfgard misses with both Axe and Shield.
Haskyll moves away from the Flood Troll.
Anga sends yet another Force Missile at the Half-Orc Alchemist.
That did it! The Half-Orc slumps to the ground.
The Flood Troll does not show her face.
Kaos puts himself out.
Mordea falls to the ground breathing heavily, "I don't really like Half-Orcs."
Victory!
Ledges and stairs are carved into the stone walls of this wide-open, high-ceilinged natural cavern. Embedded in a fifteen-foot-tall spire of centuries-old bones stands the skeleton of a massive armored warrior. Though its flesh has long since rotted off its frame, the skeleton still stands proud and regal amid the trappings of battle and mounds of gleaming treasure. The skeleton’s battered half-plate and scarred helmet hint at its many battles, and the warlord’s hands are clenched around a massive stone hammer. Beneath the helmet, a thick, round rock has been embedded in one of the skeleton’s otherwise empty eye sockets.
Moving carefully closer Ulfgard motions to the skeleton. "We laddies, seems they wanted that. Me thinks, best we can do is deny them its shinies. Can anyone tell me if its truly dead! You know not moving around dead!"
Anga casts detect magic, and checks both the half orc and the skeleton.

On the Giant Skeleton, Anga detects magic on the skeleton's half-plate and a simple stone blacksmith's hammer. Surrounding the propped up Giant Skeleton are stacks of bones, huge vases, vast open chests with coins, gems, jewelry and other finery (total value 1800gp). Amongst the vases and chests, Anga detects magic on a pair of scrolls, four arrows, a belt and a wand.
There is also a masterwork breastplate, a suit of masterwork splint mail, a masterworks Orc Double-axe, 13 adamantine crossbow bolts. A fist-sized rock is lodged in one of the Giant's eye socket.
On the Half-Orc, Anga finds the following: vials acid (2), alchemist’s fire (2), black adder venom (2 doses), bloodroot (2 doses), blue whinnis, liquid ice (2), oil of taggit, tanglefoot bag, thunderstones (2). The Half-Orc wore a suit of mwk studded leather, mwk cold iron falchion, dagger, light crossbow with 10 bolts, an alchemy crafting kit, antitoxin (2), formula book, mwk thieves’ tools, portable alchemist’s lab, a letter, 37 gp.
Anga detects magic on the Half-Orc's facial tattoos, a faint glow of magic on both an Alchemist alembic and a gold heart-shaped locket.
The Half-Orc is dying.

Kaos will whisper Haskyll I will check around the corner for your troll go and keep that blasted half Orc from dying. I think he may have something to tell us. Also will you send Mordea over here.Then he will slowly start to look around the west side of the cave keeping an eye out for an unwelcome visiter.
Yes, while we were dealing with the orc, there was a flood troll coming up behind us. He pauses for a second. Or at least trying to
He then goes over to the Mordea and taps her on the shoulder.
Kaos wants you over there with him
He then pulls out his healers kit to look over the half orc.
Kaos does not see anything moving in the darkness beyond.
The Half-Orc stabilizes.
Trying her best Dwarvish, without an accent, Mordea stands and thanks Haskyll, giving him a peck on his bald head.
Again, Kaos does not see anything up to the range of his light spell.
Anga gathers the loot and looks at the giant skeleton. Ulfgard[b] she says. [b]Could you take this fellows hammer and armour. Ah don't think he needs them, and they are magical
Looking at the armor Ulfgard shrugs. "Well, I am no good with a combersome armor like that. But about the hammer, it would be a shame to let it waste if we can use it to a better effect! HA. This will again be symbols of rightous might and glorious fury! But what about the others? I think the breastplate would be a fine addition. "
While looking over the armor, Ulfgard nearly jumps as it began to resize to fit a Dwarf while he touches it. Likewise, the blacksmith's hammer resizes when Ulfgard touches it. Ulfgard will notice a symbol on the hammer.
Well if'n we can resize the armor, it'd be fittin' fer me. Th' more metal I have around me carcass, th' better. Ragnir chuckles. Haskyll could be usin' it too, I'm thinkin'
"Can anyone tell me about the rune and identify this basher?" moving forward looks at the stone for a whole, unsure if he should take it.
Looking at the armor Ulfgard shrugs. "Well, I am no good with a combersome armor like that. But about the hammer, it would be a shame to let it waste if we can use it to a better effect! HA. This will again be symbols of rightous might and glorious fury! But what about the others? I think the breastplate would be a fine addition. "
No ulfgard, Ah just want you to carry them. We'll sort oot what happens ta them later. They'll at least be worth something.
Looking at Anga the Ranger smiles."But this beauty seems to take a liking to me... see it even got smaller. Ha. Also we should distribute the magic items a bit. Let me help you Ragnir with the armor and also take the hopeknife. Better to spread the magic luve a bit. HA!"
May I see that hammer for a second
The symbol is of Minderhal. The giants smith lord. That is all I can tell you for right now.
I would like to look over that thing a lot better when we get the chance.
Haskyll also quickly looks over the letter after he stabilizes the half orc.
"Agreed. But for the moment.. we should use it to bash in some uglys skulls. We are still in an attack and me thinks it would be unwise to let our guard down. Let us continue!"
Holding up the letter
This says something about a pair of rocks and a fellow by the name of Giantkiller. Once I get a bit more time, I will write it out word for word.
Haskyll looks around and then up at the rock in the eye of the giant.
I wonder, can one of you get that rock out of it's eye ?
A magnificent geode floats down into Kaos' hand. You see rich violet and verdant emerald crystals forming a glittering crystalline patterns within the geode.
With a shrug ulfgard smiles. Its nice! Very nice!
Taking a few moments Ulfgard searches the area for any more hidden items
Ulfgard does not find anything other than a route to the right up stairs.
The party is getting loaded down.
After putting on the half-plate , Ragnir gathers everyone together, a good distance away from any unconscious enemies. "We all took a bit o' a beatin' from th' half-greenie's bombs. Wi' Torag's help, I may being able t'fix a wee bit o' that."
Let us finish in here, and then see where these stairs lead, as there is an area that we did not check
"And I know my brother found a magical sword and was ambushed. Short time later he had used it to kill all the orcs. We are dwarfes. We make weapons and armors obey our wills."
Ragnir shrugs and ties off the armor to his pack. "It's bein' a wee big f'r me now, so I'll have ta resize it once we get back t'town anyway."
Lets go. Kaos seems to be overburdened with that Half Orc
Aye. And the half orc smells as well. Don't orcs ever bath?
