For Clangeddin! With that shout Ragnum leaps toward Lord Velor intending to divinely smite him before he can unleash his infernal magic. Slashing wildly he fumbles his attack sending his blade careening off to land out of reach. Ragnums momentum carries him forward into Velor knocking him into the doorframe and depositing Ragnum uncerimounsly at his feet. At that moment Gallandrin, Luthaist, and Mourn leap aside their eyes seeking a weakness to unleash a volley of missiles. Gallandrins targets Velor with lightinging but seeing Ragnum and Stirkirk in the way ops for a barrage of magic missiles instead. Horins Bless provides the advantage the party despertaly needs to press home their attack. Reeling from the assault Velor brings his blade down on Ragnum and commands Gallandrin to surrender. The spell fails. As the party trades blows with Velor a divinly inspired incantation utters forth from Horin rises over the din and with a resounding crackle of energy & pop Velor vanishes - banished to a nether plane! Horin looking pale and deep in concentration continues his incantantion as Velor tries to fight his way back through the void. After what seems like an eternity the portal closes and Horin slumps to the ground.
With little time to gather their wits Velors mount crashed through the doorway crushing Stirkirk! The party quickly attacks and Luthaist takes advantage of the chaos to sneak up on the Nightmare dealing it a fatal blow! As his blade cuts into the beast it turns gaseous and quickly dissipates into the icy wind blowing through the door. What they thought was snow seems more ash like and has a dirty feel to it. Gathering their belongings they step outside and see a figure moving quickly away to the south. Loosing sight of it near the temple they decide to press their attack while Velor is gone and move quickly through town towards the tower south of town.
As they approach the tower they spot ogres upon the wall. Mourn takes the lead and quickly finds more signs of unidentifed creatures on the trail ahead that diverge into the Adri Forrest. Continuing ahead towards the gatehouse he looses sight of the party who stop to observe the construction of the curtain wall. Their dwarven eyes spot signs of seige damage and they decide to investigate. Mourn by now far ahead can see inside the wall surrounding the tower. A crew of three ogres unleash a barrage of stones upon the rest of the party severely injuring some before they make it to the wall.
Luthaist scales the wall and bouding the merlons is promptly attacked by two ogre sentries, one of which in its haste to attack slips and falls into the deep crevase caused by the seige damage severely injuring it. The second ogre trys to skewer Luthaist who sprints away towards Mourn, at which point the second ogre alos fails to jump the gap falling on top of its partner some 70' below. Meanwhile Mourn begins to pepper the catapult crew with arrows killing one as they try to reload the catapult.
Horin ministers much needed healing to the party while Gallandrin contemplates avenues of attack and hidden entrances (wells) with Ragnum. Sensing an opportuntiy to gain insight into the prisoners whereabouts Ragnum leaps upon the first ogre, sword at its throat, offering to spare his life in exchange for information. A short battle ensues in which one ogre is slain, the other decides to take the party to the prisoners. Running ahead while leading the party it sees Mourn and Luthaist engaging his erstwhile comrades on the catapult, forgetting about the dwarves and mage behind him it rushes forward in anger. Ragnum tells it to halt, and for Gallandrin to get its attention. To close for a fireball - Gallandrin  instead casts Fire Bolt striking the ogre squarely in the back.
