He drew his arrow and went to fire having to pull high at the last moment due to the Vixen's charge. He took a deep breath and fire again at the bugbear.

if mogwag can not get into melee combat he will cast a Divine Favor on himself and move 30ft in order to do so

if he can then

He didnt like the fact the bugbear drank something and grew in size, not at all.... though it did make him a bit easier a tartget to see. He shifted aim, ignoring the slightly closer bugbear for the magically enlarged one, firing a pair of rapid arrows at him.

Mogwag casts Divine Favor upon himself and then moves closer to combat by going around one of the rock pillars in the room...

Cerian misses with his first arrow at the enlarged Bugbear but manages to adjust his aim and hit the foe with his next arrow...

many thanks for the patience, recovering from a CON and caught a bug while there it seems

Victrix repays the bugbear in kind and lops off its head and thus prepares the way for Bonificious to charge at the enlarged bugbear and the dwarf delivers a solid hit to the foe near where Cerian found his mark...and drops the enlarged foe...

the group now focuses on the two orcs standing on the crude earthen dais. For some of the group these orcs are familiar to you as they were war band leaders when some of you fought at the dwarven ruins...

The bald orc takes a step back and yells out in orcish "પાછા રહેવા અથવા હું તમારા માંસ અતિ!"

The other orc is armed with a wicked looking polearm and stands with it out in front behind a shield ready to strike at whoever comes up first...

Bonificius misses with his charge attack...

He moved forward drawing an arrow to bowstring as he did so, once he close and got an angle on the bald orc yelling filth he drew aimed and fired... then quickly followed with a 2nd arrow.

Or

Double move toward the enemy in the back if there is no one in reach

Mogwag manages to maneuver around the cave and hits the lead orc wounding him badly...

The orcs begin to yell at each other...

"જલદીકર!" says the one Mogwag struck

તે કામ કરતું નથી....કંઈક બીજી બાજુ પર ખોટું છે...દૈત્ય હવેથી અહીં છે ... અમે ભાગી જ જોઈએ!" says the one in the back doing some sort of ritual...

CRIT DAMAGE!: 3d12 + 27 ⇒ (10, 4, 2) + 27 = 43

Well. That'll do it.

ummm... wow... that will end his life... darn you!

Victrix comes flying into the melee to attack the first orc wounded by Mogwag... he tries to defend himself but the female in all her fury swings her axe breaking his polearm in two with the axe embedding itself through the orcs chest until it pokes through on the other side...killing the orc instantly... orcish blood sprays over Victrix and Mogwag as she struggles to pull her axe out of the dead orcs chest cavity...

The caster orc screams in horror as Victrix kills his protector and as he begins to cast some sort of spell everyone can see some sort of spectral hand come out from the makeshift altar and grab the orc pulling him through a shadowy hole and he disappears screaming....

end of combat

Despite the orc being drug into wherever it was being drug he loosed one quick arrow after it. . . spitting on the ground and cursing in elvish as the orc disapeared.

attack for funsies: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Anyone have any idea what just happened?"

He asked with a slight frown as he moved torwards the alter eyes searching for clues and anything more sinister left behind.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Cerian finds the back half of his arrow on the ground... the front half is missing...

he also finds some sort of makeshift altar made out of bones, skulls, rocks and wood. He truly believes none of this is for a benevolent god.

Looking at the altar Bonifacius checks around, lifts his kilt and despoils the altar with a yellow line of dwarfen piss. "Ha this should sanctify it. At least it came from Hanseath´s divine brew... once!"

Bonificious desecrates the altar in a special dwarven way.

they were trying to contact the other side... but the deamon they were looking for was no longer there

The group manages to open the two chests in the cave and find them full of coins, mostly copper and silver but believe it to be at least 3,000 gold pieces. Probably cash taken from raids on homes and farms from the surrounding area. Giving the gold back to the druid Gilby Leaftender up top would help the survivors start over again during the coming wars.

The dead orc obliterated by Victrix has a +1 Glaive, a MW Cold Iron Falchion sheathed on his back and MW Hide armor made from Dragon Hide. With nothing left to do the group hauls the treasure back through the cave entrance to the outside. They are met by Gilby Leaftender and see a scene of battle around his grove.

"You all went down into the cave and we were set upon by tracker and scout orcs and bugbears. We fought them off with the help of an elf patrol but the cost was great. The elves did not stay as they mentioned they were going to the town to help lift the siege. I believe they were successful as my woodsmen tell me the elves are now moving back north towards Celene and some dwarves are marching west towards Ulek. The enemy fled back towards the Pomarj, for now at least. I have instructed our survivors to begin gathering what they can from their ruined farmsteads and meet back here as we defend this grove and turn it into a wooden fort to protect this entrance. We will need some help removing the dead bodies and burying ours while burning theirs."

Victrix scuffs her boot. "So, uh... are we done 'ere?"

"I would have liked to have spoken to some of those Celene Elves... a shame that I suppose."

He began with a frown.

" I don't suppose the displaced folk would... resent us taking a fraction of their looted wealth for helping rid them of the menace? To replace what we used mostly of course."

He began referring to the large sum of coins they had found.

The group spends some time helping the survivors deal with the dead and then prepare to depart the next day. Word comes to them that there is a new Lord of Berwyn after the death of the Old Lord and his two sons.

"I guess I will have to make a journey to see this new Lord... Thrand I believe one of the woodsmen told me his name was, a knight from Furyondy I think. I guess I will have to go greet this Lord Thrand and see what his intentions are with the forest folk and the caverns below. I would not want you all to leave empty handed so here is some loot to show you our gratitude for whatcha done for us." Gilby says to the others and hands you a sack with enough coins for each person to get 200 gp.

Your return trip to the City of Greyhawk is uneventful but you do see refugees fleeing the hordes from the Pomarj. You also hear rumors that Iuz returned to his lands, the Horned Society is fighting Iuz, the Mad Overking sleeps with demons, Vatun walks the Oerth again, Ket and Veluna are at war Furyondy attacked the Shield Lands and Giants came down from the mountain. Most of those must be false but there may be truth to some of them, hard to tell which one at the moment.
