"Excuse me mister... Guardsman? Aside from that unfortunate casualty of surprise," Adis began, pointing at the body of the barmaid, " do you see the bodies of any respectable people laying about? No? Just goblins? Then why bother accusing us of helping those vile, repugnant wretches." Adis was clearly mocking the guard, but talked just fast enough to prevent interruptions. He took a deep breath. "As it stands, they interrupted what would have been the first decent meal I've had all day. What ever group they're from - the Hand something or other - is lucky I do not go out and beat them to death with the frozen corpses of their allies..." towards the end he began to trail off and began talking to himself, muttering unspeakable actions he would commit against the goblins.

The Guard takes all this in, and approachs the member he feels most comfortable around, Norian. "A summons you say? Give me a moment to read it." He takes it from your hands and read it carefully. [You have a short rest while the SOMEWHAT overweight man reads.]

Ogre Bombardier

While he's reading, the shouting you've been hearing off in the distance gets continually louder. Soon, a throng of townsfolk appears around the corner, running from an odd sight: A full grown Ogre pulling a wagon by a yoke around its waist. The Ogre holds a cask in one hand, and a massive club in the other. Riding atop the wagon are two Hobgoblins weilding crude bows. The Ogre takes a look at your bloodstained group and roars towards it.

The Guardsman, still clutching the Summons stutters softly "Well...ummm...I think I might go see what's keeping those Guards!" and scuttles off.

Adis slowly turned his head to face the new threat, however instead of fear, he felt glee...
I must ride it! he thought, but first the goblins have to go.

Sticking close to the building, Adis, approached the cart and began his recitation. "Lance of Wrath, inhabit the earth. Rise up and ravage my foes before me..." As he continued to recite, the ground before him slowly began to crackle, suddenly the ground exploded. You could see faint arcs of electricity leaping about before him as they began to rip at the cart.

The waves of thunder ripple through the cart, upsetting a few of the casks it contains, but otherwise leaving it unharmed. Both of the Goblin Archers squeak and squeal in their own tongue, the Ogre grunts heavily and bellows loudly.

The archers both grab ahold of a cask and light it, holding them above their heads.

Taking a deep breath, Karan picks up the sword, and rushes forward to strike at the hulking Ogre.

Karan's lunge leaves her dangerously close to the Ogre, but she manages to land a strike against it! The Ogre looks a bit stunned, clearly not used to being hit at all, but still appears to be full of steam.

The Ogre, still holding the cask, comtemplates using its club and drops the cask on the ground. It explodes in a huge blast, burning the foot of the Ogre (who barely notices it) and Karan is left with a feeling of immense heat, though is not damaged by the cask. The Ogre's club on the other hand...that smacks Karan for a huge amount of damage, leaving her even bloodier than the wound beneath her bandage.

Rah's eyes narrow on the ogre. He interrupted eats! What evil!
Rah runs on all fours at super speed, then jumps at the ogre's face, becoming an indecipherable ball of wailing appendages!

- "An... Ogre?" - Graven suddenly remembered something. Back then on that pass... there was one. Just one and it was enough - "This... is going to be ugly. Please let it work...

Warforged gripped his hammer tighter. Aura of cold that kept his enemies attention last battle came back, but this time it didn't stop spreading. Soon the construct was surrounded by something that looked like minature blizzard. Ground freezing around him he took several quick steps and swung his maul widely hitting the ogre surely if weakly. As frost climbed up from ground immobilizing the creature Graven glared at it and shouted.

- "Come on you son of a kobold, give me your best shot!"

'An Ogre!?!? Oh Damnation! This night just doesn't end, does it?"
Norian runs up behind Karan and then gathers all of his strength. "Oh god of the Sun...I beg of you, give us the strength to persevere! Beacon of Hope!" Suddenly, a giant burst of divine energy radiates from Norians outstretched hands, and engulfs the ogre, the two hobgoblins, and Norian's allies in a bright divine light.

After bringing that down, Norian looks a little weary, but not in any way that will affect his performance. He then turns to Karan, and whispers a brief prayer. "Pelor, may you keep watch over my friends and smite my foes." Karan is bathed in a soft glow, which heals her wounds, and then,Acting very quickly,He throws a lance of faith at the Ogre. With the brief flash of light, Norian suddenly thinks about something he noticed when he cast the Beacon of Hope. Those goblins were sitting infront of them, but he noticed a bunch of barrels...barrels that looked like the one that the Ogre was holding!

"Oh!" Norian suddenly let out. "Hey! One of us needs to run back into the tavern and grab a torch! Hell! Grab two, three! Light em, throw them on the wagon towards the back, and then, RUN!!! Who wants to volunteer?"

Rah heads over in front of the Ogre like a little furry ball of damage, slamming his fists repeatedly into the hulking brute. The Ogre blinks quickly as if uncertain how such a small creature could make him hurt so badly.

Graven crunches through a layer of permafrost that starts to cover the ground around him. The fire starting to crackle its way up the Ogre's leg snuffs out quickly. Graven's blow stuns the Ogre, who can't understand what is going on. It's never felt this...pain thing before. Its muscles lock up!

Norian's hope heals Karan, while managing to encompass all the enemies you can see on the wagon. Only the Ogre is affected by his radiant power, though. His amazing speed with Pelor's Lance manages to blast the Ogre, and blood starts to visibly drip from its wounds.

The distinct lack fo screaming from the goblins left Adis disappointed. Looking to his left he could see his dreams of riding the Ogre crumbling with each attack they made. With a sigh he moved to a better vantage to observe the goblins. They seemed to be holding something... a cask of some sort?... Adis thought. Then a smile crept across his face. ...Soooo, they think they're so smart with their bombs and their trained ogre and their dumb little cart...
"Focused will -like shards of glass- whip and rage. Rend my foes till they bleed all over..." He recited. This was one of his favorite spells, in fact he liked so much, he cast it twice. Soon the goblins were dancing about in their cart. Hmm dancing with an explosive? That doesn't seem very smart...

Adis manages to impale both the Goblins with daggers aplenty, leaving them with many bloody wounds. The Goblin furthers from your group drops its lit cask as well.

He quickly scrambles to pick it up, throws it at your group and jumps off of the cart and to the North. His aim isn't that good, though, and it rolls under the Ogre's feet. The other Goblin throws his cask as well, notches and fires an arrow at the cask, and slides to the other side of the wagon. Black pitch bubbles from the wound, and the cask explodes - setting off both casks at once!

The Ogre would grunt from the heat and pain...if it could.

Rah manages to avoid the burning pitch explosion, Graven, Karan and Norian are not so lucky.

Also worth a mention: The wagon starts to burn.

Circling the orge, Karan positions herself so that she can strike at the beast's back.

Karan strikes the Ogre forcefully, continuing the onslot of damage against the beast.

The creature shakes its head forcefully. Building up its resolve against the pain it roars deeply and raises its club, smashing it downwards...quite critically...in Graven's direction. Thank heavens for him that the creature is feeling a bit weak at the time.
