Already anxious, the Firepelt, untethered, breaks free from Shalelu's grasp and attacks the Pumpkinhead Graul. The Pumpkinhead Graul reacts to the Firepelt, but misses with it Ogre Hook. The Firepelt sinks its teeth into the Graul.
Kibb breaks free and attacks the Graul with a pumpkin-like head. Pumkinhead takes a slice with a wicked Ogre Hook, but misses the Firepelt. But the big cat doesn't miss, he sinks its teeth into Ogrekin flesh.
Seeing the Firepelt on the one in front, Stone fires at the open Graul with a vestigal arm, sticking the deformed humanoid with a bolt.
(Without Precise Shot, Stone would have missed the engaged Pumkinhead. Since Stone goes ahead of Garrath, the first Ogrekin was not engaged.)
Seeing Stone take a shot, the Elf Ranger sends an arrow to help the Firepelt. The arrow sticks Pumkinhead.
Raging, Garrath engages the three-armed Ogrekin. But Three Arms is ready and hacks at the big Shoanti man

Moving to the elemental Elektra gives him some insight in the future before sending it to aid Brandark.
The earth elemental moves forward and slams Brandarks opponent.
Attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Taking extensive damage from the Dwarf Cavalier, Pumkinhead hollers with shrieks and yelps, swinging fiercely at the shorter attacker. The big Graul manages to get a hook into Dwarven flesh.
The Firepelt continues to bite Pumkinhead, but doesn't trip the Ogrekin.
Stone cast Hold Person on Shorty Graul. Though smarter than the other Grauls, Shorty was not even aware that it had resisted an attack from a divine origin.
Shorty Graul's Will Save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Shalelu steps up behind Stone and next to Flynn to form a barrage of arrows. Her first arrow sticks solidly into Pumkinhead. The big Graul stumbles and falls unconscious. Shalelu changes target to handsome, or the fourth one. The arrow glances off it leather jerkin.
Three-Arm cuts deep into Garrath, but the big barbarian has taken worse. Instead it is today that Three-Arm meets its doom. And doom's name is Garrath. The Deformed Humanoid drops dead.
Handsome's jerkin is tough, but not tough enough for Flynn's first arrow to sticks through the leather and into Ogrekin hide. The second arrow deflects wide.
With both Pumkinhead and Three-Arm down, Brandark moves around the big cat to get to Handsome. The Dwarf Cavalier, with a little extra insight from Elektra, hacks deeply into the more normal looking Ogrekin.
I took the liberty to move Brandark around the big cat, through Stone to get to Ogrekin #4. Only your first attack would have hit anyway. But I didn't want to waste that good first attack. BTW-Ogrekin are considered Giants.
Severely hurt by Flynn's arrow and Brandark's strike, Handsome steps back crying and drops his Ogre Hook.
Shorty, seeing two of his brothers fall, and a third clearly hurt, lowers his weapon and says, "Stop! What do you want?"
Garrath turns towards the other ogres when they quit the field, breathing hard, flecks of spittle still spraying as his rage subsides. "Consider yourselves lucky that I am with friends that would show mercy, and not my brethren, who would only show you the only mercy giantkin ever showed them!" Garrath pointedly shakes blood and gore from his sword onto the ground.
intimidate:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10Not sure if it applies, or will help get them to talk, but figured I'd include the roll
Flynn keeps his bow drawn and aimed, his eye's dare not wander away from the enemy They have information, they can be used. Should we explain who and what we are looking for? they probably know the area better than us.
After the Firepelt finishes off Pumkinhead, the Cougar moves to the blocked double doors on the other side of the room. Shalelu looks at the Ogrekin, "What is behind those doors? We are here because of this big cat.
Crying Handsome looks over at Shorty.
Shorty looks toward Shalelu, "It is where we store meat. You can't enter from below. Only from above." Shorty points to the catwalks on either side of the room.

After healing Garrath Stone go's over to Brandark and give him a tap from the wand.Then he head's to the big cat and does the same for him.

Garrath stands near Handsome taking a grip on his greatsword that causes the grip to creak. Looking back at Shorty, he snarls, "If any tricks happen to my friend, this one's head goes flying off his shoulders."

This guys are evil and I for one do not want them behind us and breathing.
Stone will wisper in Garrath's ear.
As soon as we get information I believe they should tell no tales. I will help if you like.
Tie them up, leave them here we can bring them back to the city for trial or something. We are neither murder's nor executioner's, we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. Who are we to judge there crime's, i've probably committed just as many atrocities Flynn answers surprisingly nobly.
Shalelu will look at Flynn and glance over at Stone, "Oil and fire sounds like a good idea if there is a spider. But looking at this old barn, I would think any fire will likely set this whole building ablaze."
Garrath grabs a stave from the somewhere in the barn, or will make one by breaking something, and wraps cloth or tarp around the end for a makeshift torch and lights it. He starts clearing the webs with the torch, trying to not set the whole place on fire. Ready to drop the torch and use his greatsword should the need arise.
This had gotten a little confusing as I lost track of who was on which one of the three doors, or whether anyone actually opened a door off the catwalk. The bottom double doors are barred. A massive amount of cobwebs prevented the door from opening. I assumed Brandark hacked through the middle lower door. So, I am just going to move on, setting the party up for the next encounter. I apologize for getting a bit confused with the dialog.
Garrath, seeing a massive tangle of webs below, retreats and makes a torch.
Shalelu shakes her head.
From below Brandark cuts through the cobwebs only to see that the majority of this large, stuffy chamber is covered in filthy webs forming a funnel that dips down into the ground. Brandark is cutting toward the center of the funnel. A catwalk runs around the rim of the room near the ceiling, twenty feet above the ground. In the northeast and southeast corners, the catwalk expands into a ten-foot-square platform that’s fenced in by wooden beams, forming cages. The walls within each cage are hung with iron manacles. Most of the manacles—while bloody—are empty, but three in the southeast corner imprison emaciated men.
Twenty feet up along the catwalk and lower right makeshift cage, are a pair of really big ass hairy spiders futilely trying to get at the emaciated men. But both are now aware of the parties approach, particularly after hacking through one of the doors.
Garrath would have taken the time to manufacture a torch. Brandark would have taken the time to hack through a door and some of the cobwebs. However, the spiders were previously occupied. They now sees the party as easier-to-get-to prey. Everyone is up. The spiders are twenty feet up and go last in the Round. Map has been updated.
Garrath sees the spiders trying to ravage the men and begins to run along the catwalks, leaping past the cage to the eastern catwalk and cleaves down on the spider.
Garrath takes 9 points of damage. He needs to make a DC18 Fort Save.
Garrath fights through the bite, cleaving his greatsword into arachnid hide.
Stone moves along the southerly catwalk.
Though blinded, the first BA hairy spider senses Brandark in the webs below. It moves through the web to attack the Dwarf Cavalier. It fails to penetrate Brandark's armor.
BA Hairy Spider 51 or better possible strike:1d100 ⇒ 100
Garrath feels the poison course through the wound and yells out a challenge as the rage consumes him. He slashes his weapon twice into the spider.
Poison rules state Unlike other afflictions, multiple doses of the same poison stack... Each additional dose extends the total duration of the poison (as noted under frequency) by half its total duration. In addition, each dose of poison increases the DC to resist the poison by +2. This increase is cumulative. Multiple doses do not alter the cure conditions of the poison, and meeting these conditions ends the affliction for all the doses." So with the 21 DC save, does Garrath shake off the poison?
