Furnok then bonk bonks
Kemras grimaces, letting the giant fall from his mind as he focuses more completely on the ogre. With the focus keen in his mind, he lashes out with a flurry of thrusts at his foe.
Furnok stabs, then bonks, and then bonks again. The Giant resists bonks, but Furnok learned that lesson previously, and bonks with the stabby end of the lucerne hammer. This Giant is dying, soon. His torso is riddled with arrows and stab wounds. Blood is pouring from his torso, and soon enough there just won't be any more left.
Meanwhile, Kemras studies the Ogre he's fighting, and stabs deep into the Ogre's belly. The Ogre may be easy to hit, but difficult to kill. It slashes at Kemras again, this time with enough speed that Kemras can't dodge it. Fortunately, Kemras' chain shirt protects him from the cutting edge, and will only leave a minor bruise.
The Ogre that Wabbit is hanging off of draws his sword, and tries to cut and stab at the Halfling. However, each time he swings, Wabbit just switches to the other ear, further driving the Ogre into his rage.
Suddenly, the cry of a goblin is heard in the distance, way up in the sky.
Wabbit wants to end this two-step with this Ogre before Sky-goblins??? Reach him... So he stabs furiously while clinging to the Ogre

Aggah sends a rasberry toward the weakening giant, followed by two arrows. Cleo stands ready with her shield in case the giant dashes toward her friend.
Wabbit completely eviscerates the Ogre, causing it and Wabbit to tumble to the ground. Aggah fires two more enchanted arrows into the Giant's torso, bringing it almost to the point of death. The Giant realizes that death is imminent, and tries to withdraw and flee the keep, but Furnok's elongated lucerne hammer can still deal the final blow.

Bonk
Now fully focused on the ogre, Kemras unleashes another barrage of attacks. As he does, he feels a sense of cool, almost effortless harmony come to his limbs as he puts into practice what Kaven taught him years ago now.
Kemras nearly guts the Ogre with his second stab, but the Ogre continues to fight to the death. It swings it sword ineffectually at the Half-Elf, and howls with pain and frustration. Without initially realizing it, Kemras notices that a crossbow bolt is stuck to his magical shield.
The goblin plummets from the sky, wailing his death cry. He lands right next to Kemras, and explodes in a dark cloud of nightmare. Shapes form in the cloud, and screams of many people echo throughout. Yet when the cloud fades, only Kemras is left standing. Yet, the lifeless forms of the Ogre and Jakardros nearby ooze green liquid from their pores, and soon the bodies rise as green ectoplasmic creatures. Their armour and weapons sluff off to the side, and they scream silently in agony. Now compelled to fight Kemras, they scrape across the ground like floating zombies, leaving traces of fluid as they go. Kemras easily dodges their attacks.
15 feet around Kemras is slightly darker than usual, and swirls with translucent forms of horrifying images.
Hell's bells! We gotta get into cover!
Kemras discovers a rough estimate of what is not just a regular spell, but a Hag ritual. The ritual involves bombarding a soul with energy from the ethereal plane to create a devastating explosion of necromantic energy and living nightmares. The process completely destroys the soul, removing it from the soul river cycle. It cannot be resurrected by any means, even by wish or miracle.
Aggah turns pale as the goblin explodes, she turns in horror to Cleo, who answers with a reassuring shoulder pat and "No I don't think it means you will explode too." she hopes at least.
"Did anyone see where the goblin fell from?" she yells as she rushes to help Kemras, touching his back and willing his wounds to heal.
"Damn! Ritual magic from a hag!" Kemras wheezes, his voice growing stronger as Cleo heals him. "Be careful! The dead around here might start rising as ectoplasm!"
can Wabbit attack the goblin in the other tower? He may need to use his tattoo again
Wabbits tattoo elongates and stretches out to the top of the tower and then PULLS Wabbit through the air.
From there Wabbit will attack any available foes or barge through doors etc to reach said foes
Wabbit uses his magic tattoo to fling himself onto the top of the second tower, then pulls up the trapdoor. This time, the three goblins don't notice the Halfling above them.
Cleo races to Kemras' side.
Aggah stays WELL away from exploding goblins, choosing instead to try and make the dead stay dead.
Aggah shoots the ectoplasmic Jakardros in his bloated chest, then finishes him off with a shot to the head. There's a gurgling sound before his corpse falls to the ground, and the green ectoplasm slowly evaporates.
Bacon, being some pig. Decides to run back into the cave while Furnok hobbles around the building not knowing the ghost is dead.
Kemras grimaces, nodding his thanks to Cleo before launching another series of quick blows at the ectoplasmic ogre, his rapier flashing in the dim light of the rainy day as he attacks. "Hopefully they can't do that again any time soon." He hisses.
Kemras double-crits over the Ogre Ectoplasm, causing it to collapse into a formless goop, and eventually evaporates into the Ogre's misshapen corpse.
Wabbit leaps down and skewers the goblin manning/goblining the crossbow. And watches in grim satisfaction as the rest of them scamper away.
He cuts the crossbows bowstring, ruining it for further goblin mischief.
and then returns to the top of the tower keeping a wary eye for danger from above. HEY! come in here so we can talk without weird things dropping on us from the sky
thinking we need to plan on how to deal with that threat from above in a safe area.
Wabbit stares into the sky above, and figures that the goblin was likely launched out of the floating barge. The barge is several hundred feet above the keep.
Furnok hustles over to where Wabbit is.
Wabbit is confused at the hesitation
come on inside guys. It's cloudy with a moderate chance of goblin-showers out there
Furnok tries finding a door or something so he doesn't have to climb.
Cleo and Aggah follow quickly behind Furnok.
Kemras looks up at the tower grinning faintly. Yes, I don't think that's plausible. He follows the other two, seeking a door.
Is its not possible for the group to join him in the tower Wabbit will leave the tower and talk with them in the tunnels or anywhere that's safe from goblin bombardment about how to handle the threat above
The only door present is the main entrance into the Fort Rannick. The double doors rise nearly a dozen feet, and are in remarkably good condition.
Furnok hobbles back to the cave.
Wait, Furnok." Kemras takes a minute to examine the door for any means to sabotage or open it without breaking it down.
Keeping a wary eye out for incoming goblin bombs Wabbit moves(climbs) to the inside of the sturdy door to see if there is a simple mechanism that he can use to open the doors
Kemras doesn't notice any traps.
The double doors are made of stout wood that have seen a few scrapes and impacts, but nothing particularly damaging. The hinges are not on the outside, and it's likely there's a wooden beam inside to bar the entrance. That is, if anyone noticed the fight and decided to lock the doors.
Kemras looks at his stronger companions. "We could try just opening it. If we're lucky, they might not have barred it." He sucks on his teeth. "Though I don't think the gods smile that much upon us."
Unfortunately, the doors are locked. Either the noise of combat, or the fleeing Goblins have alerted the Fort against another assault.
