Revival of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Cellion

Not being particularly stealthy or good at identifying plants in the dark, Kargas opts to remain in the mouth of the cave keeping an eye out and trusting his lightning resistance to protect him from any curious shocker lizards.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

With Kellek's guidance, locating the bitterbark trees doesn't take long. But harvesting a sufficient quantity of bark takes a couple of hours of carefully spotting, carving and stripping trees. Kaven, though more than willing to join in with cutting and stripping bark, proves only a passable woodsman.

While you're hard at work, Kargas keeps watch over the shocker lizard tunnels. Although he doesn't spot any lizards probing upward out of their lair, he does end up hearing some interesting noises that lead him toward the far eastern end of the cavern, where the tunnel starts turning down into the earth. Low vibrations through the eastern wall (Wall marked in red) alert him to the fact that the rock here is surprisingly thin. He eventually senses that the vibrations are deeply muffled ogre voices, yelling. And the wall in this location has been broken through (likely many years ago) and rebuilt with stone and clay.

(This wall can be fairly easily broken through to get access to the internal courtyard of the Fort)
-----

After regrouping with Vale and Jakardros to coordinate a new distraction, the away team sneaks back in through the waterfall entrance and joins Kargas inside. You place your sizable mound of bitterbark at the entrance to the lower tunnels. Guiness thrusts his hammer into the mass and in moments the bark begins to smolder. Through improvised means you direct the smoke down into the tunnels below.

For long minutes of work at fanning the smoke, there's no sign that the lizards have been affected. But then suddenly you start hearing distant echoes - squawking noises coming up the tunnel entrance. The noises get louder, more frequent. And then an echoing cacophony begins filling the air.

A half dozen shocker lizards surge up out of the smoke, flailing wildly and charging for freedom - and through your group!

With the lizards debilitated, this isn't a combat encounter. They're just trying to get through you. What do you do?

Moving to the front and positioning himself staunchly in the way of the oncoming lizards, Guiness says, "We must force them back the other way!", standing fast with flaming hammer and shield just at the edge of the smoldering bark and preparing to shove any lizards back the way they came.

Grating out a spell, Kargas doubles in size and roars wordlessly at the lizards, stomping his feet and otherwise making himself as big and scary to the shockers as possible.

Casting Enlarge Person to block as much tunnel as possible and then making them think I'm a predator even worse than the smoke!
Intimidate: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 4 = 34

The massive half-orc hulking just beyond the edge of the acrid smoke causes the throng of shocker lizards to skid to a halt. Their panicked confusion has them butting up to one another and crackling with electricity. For a moment it looks like they might choose to blast a path out with a massive electric blast, but when Kargas delivers a bestial roar they turn tail and rush back the way they came.

Lizard squawks and hacking coughs continue for a while longer, accompanied by the echoing sounds of cracking wood. Few other lizards attempt to probe the same path to the surface and those that do are easily repelled by the sight and sound of Kargas. Within a few minutes, the sound of lizards has mostly faded away and the echoes sound distant and muffled. There's still plenty of smoke in the tunnels, and there's enough bark to continue burning for a while.

Kaven coughs despite the wet cloth he placed across his mouth and nose. "Bloody well worked. What now?"

"I think we've given the lizards enough of a lead, I say we keep the smoke going and head on after them," Flo suggests. "Hopefully we won't need it, but running from Ogres through tunnels we know with the cover of smoke sounds safer than if their beedy eyes can see us!"

"Not sure we want to cut through the lizards to get to the ogres. What if we head out through the waterfall and climb the wall?" He grins down at everyone, the beginnings of a battle-fury glinting in his eyes--or perhaps that just the flames devouring the bark. "You don't even have to climb it, I can lift you up!"

One vote for smoke filled TUNNELS, one for WALL climbing. Two votes leads us onward.

"Why don't we just rush in after the lizards? We can avoid them and take advantage of the confusion to cut down the ogres from below," suggests Guiness, seeming to be a bit uneasy at the prospect of being magically "lifted" under Kargas' control.

"Maybe we can float later on," Guiness allows, trying to mollify the unpredictable barbarian.

Kellek votes "Lizards." mostly because he knows what a head for tactics Kargas has.

Tunnels it is!

Interested in taking advantage of the confusion while it lasts, you head right into the shocker lizard tunnels. The cloying, acrid smoke of the bitterbark fills the air as you descend, leading you to hack and cough and close your eyes against the irritant.

Kellek Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Guiness Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Kargas Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Flo Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Colvyn Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Kaven Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Despite teary eyes and a burning sensation in the nose and lungs, Guiness, Flo, Kaven and Colvyn handle the bitterbark well enough. Kellek and Kargas on the other hand suffer more severely, barely able to do much more than stagger through the smoke in search of an area of clearer air. (The two of you are nauseated while you remain in the smoke, then sickened for a number of minutes after you leave it)

The smoke in the tunnels is thin enough that you can see a practical distance ahead of yourselves. The ramp down leads to a network of warrens - dank caves of dirt and stone that bend dizzyingly. The path narrows to as small as three feet wide at points, and the claws of exposed roots hang from the ceiling. You don't see any shocker lizards, but you see evidence of their nests as you travel, a clear indication that you must have driven about two dozen out ahead of you.

You emerge from the warrens by clambering through the splintered remains of several thick wooden boards. The room you enter has heavy stone blocks for its floor, walls and ceiling. Once, it may have served as a jailer's den or a torture chamber, but obviously until recently it served as a storeroom for food. However, right now its in complete disarray, crates and barrels smashed, singed and scattered. Little to no edible foodstuffs lie scattered with the broken containers.

The bitterbark smoke in the cellar is significantly thinner, a relief after the warrens. (Kellek and Kargas are no longer nauseated, but they're sickened for 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 minutes)

The banded iron door to the west side of the room remains closed, but the wooden door to the north hangs off its hinges. Beyond, to the north, a stairwell leads up. You hear the distant sound of combat - squeaks and squeals of shocker lizards and the grunts and yells of ogres.

Map Updated!

Flo appraises her allies as they clear the smoke, eyeing Kargas and Kellek. Wordlessly, she pulls a pair of scrolls from her bag and relieves them of their suffering.

"If I were leading a bunch of Ogres, the first thing I'd want to do is have relief from the smell and have a commanding view... Anyone oppose to rushing the stairs?"

Remove Sickness for each of y'all! Suppresses the effect for 10 min :D Now feels like a good time for buffs, so Shield Other on Kargas (45ft of range at this level) and Extended Fly on Flo! Think it is safe to say Magic Circle Against Evil is gone now.

Nodding at Floredana, Guiness says, ”Strike while the iron is hot!” as he prepares to rush up the stairs.

Kargas will cast Shield and Mirror Image while Flo is casting spells too.

---
Ignoring the side room for now, you cast some preparatory spells and rush up the stairs toward the sounds of combat! As you climb the stairs, you have to clamber over several badly bludgeoned shocker lizards as well as one horribly scorched ogre.

At the top of the stairs you emerge into a storeroom. Crates, barrels, and a stack of firewood have been smashed apart and heaped in a tangled pile in the
corner of this room. A flight of stairs leads down to the west. The door to the south is open to a long, 10-ft wide hallway lined with doors on both sides. The bodies of pulverized shocker lizards line the hall. At the end of the hall, you spot an ogre currently engaged with two more of them, swinging his greatclub in an attempt to smash them as then electrocute his feet. To the east side, an ogre inside a side room is jabbing at another shocker lizard at the door to his room.

Both ogres are too busy with their own battles to notice your group arrive on the scene. From the sound of the ogre grunts and bellows, there's more fighting going on somewhere in the Fort.

If you'd like to engage combat, feel free to start taking actions as if you'd won initiative. If not, you have a moment to take stock of the situation and add any more magic.

Map updated, BTW

Assuming we are ready...

Guiness grips his flaming hammer in his shield hand and opens the first door on the hallway, flipping the hammer back to his primary hand and moving into the room, saying, "Let's clear as we go--we don't want too many unexplored rooms at our backside."

Kellek does not oppose Guiness's idea, knowing that now would be the time to fall upon the ogres while they are preoccupied by the lizards, giving the lizards more time to cause more mayhem in their ranks, but realizing that Guiness (the dwarven lightning rod) with all of his short-range weapons might not be the best choice for leading such a charge. Though if Colvyn (an archer) and Flo (a spellcaster herself) were to vote for the alternative he would agree to lend his brand of ranged magic to the mix relegating the dwarf, and Kargas to the roll of guards.

Or 'meatshields' in the vulgar argot.

Five Kargases advance down the hallway, striding past Guiness to throw open the second door he sees.

"But strategically," Flo adds, turning to Kaven. "Where are the nearest stairs up?" she asks, peering from the door.

Colvyn moves to stand next to Kargas and waits with his bow drawn. For a moment he wonders if he should send one of his arrows at the ogre at the end of the corridor.

Kargas swings open the easterly door and finds a room that appears to have been a library. A long table with benches to either side sits 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's no sign of any ogres there right now, but a small door in the north-east corner likely leads into one of the fort's turrets.

Guiness on the other hand finds something worse. The door he opens leads into what appears to be a gruesome mockery of an infirmary. 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. The most intact individual lies upon the operating table, his guts spill out of a large slash in his belly.

An ogre wearing a bloodstained smock stands holding a still-squirming shocker lizard in one massive hand, while he carves away at it with the ogre hook in his other hand. When the door swings open, he grins and turns to face Guiness. In giant he hollers "Oh goodie, not just lizards today!"

Trying to suppress his revulsion at the scene before him, Guiness says over his shoulder, "Found one," and moves into the room right up to the ogre. His flaming warhammer leaving a trail of sparks, the implacable dwarven warrior swings at the gruesome ogre's exposed right thigh.

"The stairs after this, no more doors!" Flo pleads. Floating into the hallway with her butterfly wings, she uses the wall to shield her from view as she reaches down to boop Colvyn's nose.

So, there are several approaches we could take, with the most conservative being to open every door and deal with enemies in smaller groups, hoping to leave no hostiles behind us. The most aggressive approach would be to charge ahead and try to get to the commanders of the ogres before they can prepare and engage them in battle, but it leaves the risk of their troups coming up behind us and having a two front battle. Guiness will do as Floredana asks in the heat of battle, but we may want to consider having a rear-guard if we charge up the stairs further.

In a rumbling voice, the ogre speaks in giant "You fight too much. Hold still. I'll turn you into art." and swings down with his ogre hook. The first swing cleaves through one of Kargas' images, crushing the nearby bed and sending loose pieces of gore flying. The second sideways swing tries to catch Kaven, but the rogue nimbly ducks out of the way.

Down the hall, you hear the sounds of an ogre getting electrocuted and falling. Colvyn also sees the shocker lizard directly to the south getting skewered on a hook and tossed aside. The ogre that killed it steps out of the room he was in. In giant he yells "It's da rat with the bow! They inside!"

"You are revolting," states Guiness as he begins his attack pattern against the green ogre, two flaming Dragonfist attacks followed by a spirited headbutt from his boulder helmet, "We will eradicate you from the Black Arrow's home."

"Seems that I'm getting a reputation." Colvyn turns his attention to the ogre in the corridor and sends three arrows at it.

Wowza

The "artist" ogre looks about to offer a rebuttal in giant, but instead gets his ribcage caved in by two deadly blows of Dragonfist. He falls, gurgling. Meanwhile in the corridor, three perfectly placed shots down the other ogre, cutting off his shout to rouse the defenses.

Combat Over

"So, where to now? We clear the floor or head up?" Colvyn readies an arrow and keeps an eye on the corridor, just in case something decide to come this way.

End rage

"Up the stairs seems best, cut the head off the snake. Kellek and Floredana can get us out if things get too hot." Kargas' eyes are a trifle unfocused as the thunderbird's blessing leaves him, but he moves gamely towards the stairs Flo indicated.

Yeah, those were some nice rolls.

Recovering quickly from the battle, Guiness follows Kargas up the stairs and says as an aside to Kaven, "Which way to the fort commander's office or war room?"

Kaven spits on the ogre and flips his dagger before rejoining the group "Yeh fight like a whirlwind." He grins "Commander's quarters'r up top. Meetin' room too."

Guiness and Kargas lead the way up the stairs, Kaven a step behind them. The upper floor is a bit quieter, distanced as it is from the continued fracas downstairs. The wide hallway here is stained with marks of dried blood, signs of bloody corpses having been dragged along. The doors along the hall are all closed, but Kaven whispers where they lead. "North 'ta south - the ol' chapel, meetin' room, an' the commander's quarters."

Map updated

Kargas swings open the easterly door and finds a room that appears to have been a library. A long table with benches to either side sits 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's no sign of any ogres there right now, but a small door in the north-east corner likely leads into one of the fort's turrets.

Guiness on the other hand finds something worse.

There is nothing worse than a mangled library to Kellek's way of thinking.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

He takes moment to check the room over with his magic detecting eyes.

"Mind those larger doors."

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"Somebody's eating," Kargas says softly, pointing in the direction of the sound. "Guess an attack on the fort doesn't bother them much, should we fix that?"

”Indeed,” says Guiness softly, thinking of the gruesome scene in the kitchen below. Holding his hammer in his shield hand, he nods at Kargas to get ready, then opens the indicated door for him once he is ready..

Flo nods and prepares to bless the party.

If she can get the Bless off before the fight, that'd be fab, but otherwise she'll just wait for it to start and decide then!

Earlier:
Kellek doesn't notice anything magical in the library.

Now:
Flo delivers a divine blessing to the group moments before Guiness opens the door. Even at a glance, the room beyond was clearly once a chapel to the god of the hunt. Pelts and antlers still hang from the walls, though among them also hang smoked and dried carcasses, many of them humanoid. A symbol has been painted in blood over Erastil's bow - what appears to be a bloody, three eyed jackal.

Among the pews sits a large silver tray piled high with carved roast meat, the aroma of which floats over to your team. Standing next to the tray is a mountain of an ogre, easily 14ft in height with arms like tree trunks. He licks his massive fingers one last time and regrips his ogre hook. In surprisingly competent common, he says "Lucrecia thought you lot would be behind this. Nice of ye to come straight to me." He rubs a thumb along the haft of his ogre hook "Lutch, your favorite food's on the menu." The ogre hook begins to glow a dim red.

Kellek moves up to see through the doorway and notices Kargas (Kagases? Kargasi?) somehow already in the room, and thinks to himself Gods dammit, Kargas, while wondering how flame-retardant and poison-resistant the half-orc is.

Is Kargas already in the room next to the big yob?

Flo pushes the air between her and Guiness. The Dwarf erupts into a cloud of flower petals that coalesce on the other side of the Ogre. "Looks like an Ogre sandwich is on the menu!"

14ft tall! That's a large lad. Sorry to Kellek, I moved by token but the post got eaten. I'm okay with letting the Fireball resolve first.

"Lucretia? You mean a big lunk like you isn't in charge?" Kargas taunts, sizing up the enormous ogre and deciding...Yeah, I think I can take him.

Casting Divine Favor with a use of Fervor.

Colvyn finds the ogre a clear target, but only manages to sink the first arrow in the creature's tough muscle. The second and third arrows narrowly miss, skimming inconsequential cuts as they fly by.

Seeing how fearsome the ogre is, Kaven decides to stick to range. He drops his melee weapons and draws a longbow. With true beginners luck, he sinks an arrow into the ogre's cheek.

The ogre lets out a low chuckle. "Oh ho ho. I like it. Keep trying." He takes a single massive step toward the door and the less well protected members of the party, then swings his hook at those engaged in melee with him. The hook emits a keening scream as it arcs through the air at Guiness, blowing past his guard and tearing right into the gap between joints of his full plate. The ogre buries the hook deep inside Guiness' torso, then tears the weapon free with a spray of blood (Critical dealing 101 damage after DR!) He wastes no time with swinging across to Kargas, shattering another image.

"Jaagrath K-kreeg. S&$*." Kaven stammers out the name at the sight.

The ogre grins, glancing at the Black Arrow "Oh, you look familiar."
