Electra just raises an eyebrow at Flynns words, but stays quite.
Brandark waves his hands frantically to Flynn, and then whispers.
Can you check over this door.
When Flynn looks inside the room he sees a horrific sight. Once used to house the wounded and sick, this chamber is now a slice of blood-drenched nightmare. Hacked pieces of bodies litter the sick beds. The floor is slick with gore, strewn with mangled organs and heaps of entrails. A dead fat man sits at one of the operating tables, arranged as if he were merrily spooning chunks of his own disembodied organs out of a brown bowl. His guts spill out of a large slash in his belly. The smell of death is overwhelming coming from this room.
There is a massive Ogre in the room.
It seems to be intently working to arrange the limbs on the dead fat man sitting on the operating table. It does not notice Flynn opening the door.
Gagging slightly over the veiw, past Flynn, Brandark grips his axe tighter, and then becomes visibly angry.
Flynn quickly and quietly shuts the door, motioning to briefly move away, A look of disgust on his face one enemy, hasnt noticed us yet. personally i'd rather not leave it, but i figured it's a group call.
"I think it is better to start cleaning than having this one in our back at the worst time!"
we should leave it, we have a mission best not to deviate from it.
The mission is to purge this place, and I don't want him coming at us from behind when we tangle with the leader of this place.
"I totally agree! Why start somewhere else with purging. And if we can seperate them and take them out with little danger the better!"
Unbeknownst to the party debating in the hallway, was the fact that the Ogre actually noticed Flynn closing the door.
The door swings open.
Round One
Oh good your intelligent enough to speak, for the record i'm only half elf.Though i do give you points for even recognizinh some races, you must've been a genius back home. Flynn taunts and mocks with clear sarcasm.
Flynn draws his scimitar, speaking in the giants language with a smirk. He steps back attempting to taunt the Ogre into following him further into the open.
"Flynn, step by and use your bow. The large barbarian makes room for Flynn to move by, and readies his greatsword, for when the Ogre gets closer.
Electra gives Garreth diviners insight. insight bonus +2 on all of its attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws
The rebound swing goes after the Dwarf, but goes over Brandark's head.
"Its one of the Kreegs. Nasty oversized Ogres. Cruel and sadistic, the lot of them," Vale says. He looks ar Stone, "Swap with me."
With the linited space, and the Ogre attacking Flynn, Brandark slots himself into the space that Flynn vacated.
You will find that I am a harder morsel to chew on than you expected.
He then starts to hammer blows down on the Ogre using his axe.
Round One
After the Ogre opens the door, Elektra gives Garreth a little bit of the Diviner's Insight.
Flynn backs away from the door, trying to defend himself as he goes.
The Ogre takes a swing at the Inquisitor with his massive hook weapon. It catches Flynn tearing across his chest. The Ogre misses his rebound swing against the Dwarf.
Stone swaps positions with Vale, then ask for divine help to Hold the monstrosity.
The monstrosity freezes in place.
Vale attacks. What would have been a series of misses become strikes against the oversized Ogre. Though his back swing with his Battleaxe glanced off the Ogre's hide armor.
Garrath misses no matter what action he would have eventually taken.
Brandark also manages to hit the Ogre twice in what would have otherwise been misses.
Kaven fires an arrow, but it sticks into the top door frame.
Round Two
The Ogre remains paralyzed.
Seeing the fight nearly over, Garrath simply stares balefully at his traitorous blade, then takes off his necklace of bones and taps it along the length of the blade, muttering something about ancestors and forgiving him for disturbing the dead's rest.
Brandark takes advantage of the frozen Ogre and brings his axe hard across the throat of the Ogre.
Well done Stone. Now shall we quickly check the room and push on
Brandark cuts a deep gash in the paralyzed Ogre's throat. And with a little touch it topples over, dead.
Vale will look in disgust at the horrible mutilation done to the infirmary's cleric, "This was Sal. He once treated me for wounds from fighting one of these Kreegs just last year. There will be time to bury the dead once we retake the fort."
The party will find nothing of value in the room.
Victory!
Thanks Stone, good job guy's...How many Kreeg's are there? Think we got the whole family yet? Flynn let's his wounds be healed, trying to mentally analyze the situation. Once this situation is resolved, we'll have some things to do...Gathering up the bodies for a proper burial being one. Maybe it's just me but there's been to much weird stuff going on to be coincidence, if we can capture the leader alive i'd like to interrogate him or her. That's secondary though, don't want to risk anymore lives.
I agree, no risking, but if they come out like this last guy, I think we are safe to say that it will be the last thing they do.
As for the Kreegs, the less of them after we are done, the better off we will be.
Brandark walks into the room the Ogre came out of, and then takes a quick look around, and then rejoins the group in the hall.
Brandark will admire the woodwork, particularly in how the wooden walls seamlessly match up with the natural stone of the back wall. Though, as most Dwarves do, he does harbor a certain disdain for woodworking.
Besides the Ogre Hook, Hide Armor, and a pair of javelins, Brandark will find a pouch made from human skin on the gruesome dead Ogre. In the pouch are round marbles made of semi-prescious gem stones. They include marbles made of Chrysoprase (45 gp), one from a Deep Blue Spinel (110 gp), one made from Sardonyx (55 gp), one from a Smoky Rose Quartz (65 gp), and finally two Blue Topazs, one of which is near flawless (400 gp) and (550 GPS).
Both the massive Ogre Hook and the Hide Armor both displayed a faint magical aura.
Brandark shudders as he pulls the small gems out of the bag.
He throws the bag away, as he places the gems into the communal bag.
I for one, am willing to make every Kreed pay for this travesty.
He grumbles under his breath.
He then fishes out some soap, and using water from a canteen, he washes his hands.
"Then let us continue, Kreed slaying!"
The young elven wizard is firmly following the path of righteous fury at those who show no mercy to innocents!
"Library sounds VERY good. I am curious what they left in this room of knowledge!"
Flynn will listen carefully, then check the Library door for traps. He will not hear anything beyond the door, nor find a trap. When Flynn opens the door he sees a long table with benches to either side sitting in this room opposite a bookshelf filled with dozens of books, most of which have been torn from the shelves, mangled, and then messily stuffed back in place. There are no Ogres or other creatures in the room.
There is a door on the north side of the room. It is open. Vale says it leads to the north tower. The ladder is too small and narrow for Ogres to comfortably fit, so they have left this alone.
Electra looks into the library and then smiles. "Pearls thrown before the swine." Horrible but the little ladder makes her smile."That should lead us to a safe place to rest! Let us stash the surplus items there, so that we can move a bit more freely."
Very well, let's take a quick look and then move. Still plenty of work to be done
So a resting place as necessary. Let us see what else is here before we call it a break.
Brandark slowly opens the door again, and looks into the hall to ensure nothing has come up.
Brandark sees nothing in the hallway. He does hear some kind of commotion coming from further down the hall.
Vale looks and listens, "It sounds like it is coming from the Barracks. Second set of double doors to the right."
