The Ogre seemed on the verge of collapsing, but it stood, sustaining wounds no ordinary Ogre could.

Watching the hobgobblin attack one of the people, he recognized that they where illusions, easily.

(Cure light wounds: 8+1=9 points healed, DC 15 spot: 11+1=12, DC 13 will: 4+1-4=1)

Turock didn’t notice the worg wither, focused as he was on the ogre. He was just about to charge the ogre when it was felled by a crossbow bolt and magic missiles. He instead ran over to Karr and transformed a lesser restoration spell into healing energy and used it to heal Karr with.

(DC 15 spot, 9+2-5=7, moves to z15, cure moderate wounds: 8+1+3=12 points healed (and the 6 points of nonlethal damage is healed as well) Karr has 15 hp now)

”Karr, see what you can do for Tarok” Turock said when Karr woke up.

DM note:

Karr will have a single move action this round (so he can get back on his feet)

Karr opened his eyes,not quite sure what had happened at first but when Turock spoke to him about Tarok things started to clear up in his mind.Karr stood up and realized Turock must have healed him alittle, for the last thing he remembered was the Ogre standing in front of him hitting him with that greatclub.

***Tarok*** Karr thought,Karr turned and looked at the Dwarf still laying on the ground next to the wall,Karr grabbed a scroll to use,then saw the Monk running back into the castle courtyard,***good*** Karr thought, we all must have survived so far, and he hoped that Tarok was ok also.

Karr said a few words quietly, speaking to his god

"I shall try to do better next time SHAUNDAKUL,I tried to aid my companions but failed, and fell before the beast, before I could help the Dwarf."

The raven had not noticed that the hobgoblin now knew that Toris was an illusion. The image staggered back, clutching its stomach. Majendell looked at the illusion of her wounded husband, took a step back, and reached for her dagger [OOC: does the hobgoblin get an AoO? I would assume so].

Wargs! I need help, we are being overrun by enemies!

He then turned towards the party, ready to strike at the first one to reach him.

(Readied action: The hobgoblin will attack the first enemy that enter melee range (before that person can attack him))

DM note:

Everyone can hear the hobgoblin, DC 10 to hear what he is yelling (if your character understands goblin)

Deciding to help bar the inner gateway, Rane moved over next to Zaesee, confident in the lizardman's prowess. He would hit anything that attempted to get through, and he would be able to watch along the wall for any other enemies.

(Rane in square q11, readied action to hit the first enemy that comes into melee range before they can hit him--rather like the hobgoblin, I suppose.)

Meanwhile, the hobgoblin ignored the illusions. Obviously, he had figured out what they were. "Get that hobgoblin!" cried the raven, as he took his number along with the other circling ravens over the keep.

Deciding that he could afford to break the rules a little, Morgalad had the human illusions disappear and reappear on either side of the stairs leading up from the cellar.

Satisfied by the effect of his spell, Turock waited to see how many worgs would appear, from the size of the enemy force, he expected that they would have at least as many worgs left, as amount they had lost until now, probably even more…

In his rage, Zaaszee was most inclined to just charge any enemy and try to hack them to bits, but he had become accustomed to follow Turock’s orders even when in rage, so he moved over between Morgalad’s illusions and Turock. He felt that the party was in a pretty bad condition to fight a bunch of worgs, so he drank one of the enlarge person potions he was carrying. In almost no time his body grew enormously, making him twice as high as he had been before.
“Now let them come!” He thought.

-------------

DM:

Turock’s estimation was proven right when a mass of wargs busted out of the cellar. There were no less than seven of them, and the last one to come out was enormous, easily as big as a large dire wolf and probably a good deal more dangerous. Two of the other wags were also somewhat lager than normal, while the last 4 were pretty average.

DM note:

See the statistics of the new enemies at the top post.
Thorin has just enough movement to reach the ground, so he is standing on the ground at the end at the rope
Tarok had a move action after Karr had healed him, assuming he used it to pick up his axes and get back on his feet, he is now considered standing with both his axes in his hands.

Tarok stands with disgust wobbling a bit but it was obvouse that he was filled with vengeance. Tarok stands in the same spot for a few seconds anilizing his surroundings,Noticing Karr standing only a few feet away,Tarok gave the warrior a thankfull head shake.also noticing the defencive line tarok observed himself seeing his bad condition did not effect anything in his mind,his job was to stay alive and kill,This being a game to tarok despite all what hast happend.Tarok starts limp running towards the line.

At any rate, it was time to throw himself back into the fray, always fearless, always bold. Zaesee was massive all of a sudden, so Rane picked his target based off not getting in the lizardman's way. He dashed over to the nearest worg (normal move to k13) and went at it with his fists only.

He only had the time for one solid strike, and he took it defensively, knowing that these numerous enemies could cause a great deal of trouble for him. His conservative stance made it more difficult for him to hit properly, but things seemed to work out (10+8-4=14 hit, 8+3=11 damage to Worg #3 [now at 12], Rane has 25 AC until the beginning of his next round).

Cure moderate wounds 6+7+3=16,points healed

OOC: moved to (B14) Karr now has 31hps

Brother are you ready for another round?

The raven continued circling, but had the illusions take a step forward, load their crossbows, and stand at ready, partially blocking the ability of the worgs to attack any save Zaszee - and any worg ought to be afraid of attacking the lizardman, since the lizardman could get a good strike in well before the worg could...

( Run to A14)

(Spontaneous casting of shield of faith as cure light wounds: 7+3=10 hp healed
Spiritual weapon attack: 2+6=8, miss)

Zaaszee had been keeping his rage under sharp control, but now he let go, letting the rage and his natural instincts guide his actions. He ran forward and as soon as he was in reach, he used his great height and reach to swing his enormous axe down in front of Rane, taking the Worg the monk had just attacked by surprised. Zaaszee’s axe cleaved right though the worgs back and spine and continued into the flank of lager worg at its side. The first worg was killed instantly, but most of the power of the swing had been expended going though it, so the larger worg at its side “only” got a nasty but non-fatal wound.

( 9+11-3(power attack)=17, hit, 4+3+3+13+6=29 damage, worg 3 is dead, Cleave, 8+11-3(power attack)=16, hit, 1+2+2+13+6=24 damage, Beta Male has 34 hp left)

OOC: DM post will come soon

[This message has been edited by Kris Lighthawk (edited 11-20-2006 @ 06:54 PM).]

The big worg, that Zaaszee had just wounded, jumped forward along with the two other worgs in the front row, and all three attacked the huge lizard. The smaller worg missed but the two bigger ones was able to bite through the tough skin on Zaaszee’s legs, and the large male almost managed to trip Zaaszee despite his great size and strength.
(Beta Male: 15+11=26, hit, 5+6=11 damage, Trip attempt – opposed str checks: Worg 17+4=21, Zaaszee 9+8+4(size)=21, failure
Worg 4: 2+7=9, miss
Alpha Female: 14+11=25, hit, 5+6=11 damage, Zaaszee has 15 hp left)

The pack leader ignored Turock’s flying weapon and barked a command to the last Worg in the second row and the worg moved over to the keep wall, and, running along the wall to keep out of Zaaszee’s reach, it ran over to the two crossbow wielding “humans” and attacked the illusion of Toris. It was quite surprised when its jaws snapped together inside Toris leg without meeting any resistance. It then realized that it wasn’t picking up any smell from any of the two humans, so it wasn’t difficult for it to figure out that they were not real.
(14+7=21, hit, 5+4=9 damage)

The huge pack leader followed the smaller worg, but stopped when it had outflanked Rane, then turned and attacked him. It got a hold on him and used its great strength to throw him to the ground.
(17+17+2=36, hit, 5+2+12=19 damage, Trip attempt – opposed str checks: Pack Leader: 10+8+4(size)=22, Rane: 15+4(dex)=19, success, Rane is prone

DM note:

Worg 5 now knows that Toris and Majendell are illusions, but it has not yet had time to tell that to the other worgs.
Morgalad can sneak attack any of the worgs (they are flatfooted towards him) as they don’t know that he is a treat yet.

Rane may be better of not getting up, as he are unlikely to survive doing that. He can still attack from the ground, but at -4 penalty (but the worgs has pretty low AC…) Total defense is also an option.

Karr picked up his bow,notched and arrow,took a five foot step up next to Nershat (A13) and fired at the pack leader

12+8=20,hit....damage,5+4=9

the arrow struck true but the huge worg seemed not to be affected at all,Karr glanced at Nershat quickly as he grabbed for another arrow

"This doesn't look good,...but I'll keep nailing the large one as long as i can.The worg by the wall or the large one may come this way,be ready."

Karr really was worried...He wasn't at full health,Rane was down,and Zaaszee was taking bites from the worgs,were they going to survive?....only the gods knew

OOC:Karr will step to the other side of Nershat if he can't hit the PL from A13, couldn't Rane tumble away??

Actually, there is a Tumble check that will allow you to get up without an AoO, but the DC is ridiculously high.

(Acid Arrow, 2D4=8 at W5, 18, hit, Warg 5 at 20, 2D4 damage next round.)

The acidic missile slammed into the worg, burning its way dine the Wargs spine, before slamming itself into the Worgs tail.

Zaaszee knew he had to take out one of his attackers to have much chance of surviving, so he concentrated on the worg had has already wounded and hacked down on it with all his might.
The worg tried to avoid the axe, but only managed to turn what would have been a killing blow into a near fatal one. Before the worg could react agian Zaaszee dropped it with a quick bite to the neck. He then tried to bite the next worg as well, but it was too quick for him.

Tarok was still in pure rage cause' these creatures where weakening him to his last breath every second, but Tarok saw no help in standing whining over a few scratches and scrapes But he also remmemberd that hes not invincible.

IC:
Rane felt the pain of the worg's attack and the additional pain of being thrown to the ground. This beast was even stronger than the ogre that had threatened him before. Even on his best defense, he had been sundered beneath the thing's attack.

But pain meant nothing to him. He wouldn't back down. Sucking his breath in, Rane heaved himself onto his feet, twisting his body as he did so to avoid the inevitable attacks. (Pack Leader AoO: 2+11=13 miss. Worg #6 AoO: 7+7=14 miss.) He was successful in that much, and was again on his feet.

Having no better plan for his three seconds, the monk fought on, still trying to maintain his defense. Calling again on the power of ki, Rane attempted to immobilize the great beast for a turn so his party could attempt to bring it down. (Fighting Defensively: Stunning Fist targeted on the Pack Leader: 19+8-4=23 hit. I can't make the save, so you'll have to do it, Lighthawk, but it's against DC 16. Rane's AC is again 25).

OOC: Hopefully my luck will hold out a little longer...my rolls are working out for me that's for sure.

(DC 16 fortitude save: 3+10=13, failure, the Pack leader is stunned for one round)

Wow, you were very lucky again!! I had not expected the PL to get stunned with that high fortitude save it has…
