Day 17-18

Synopsis:

The party defeats the pudding and stirs up trouble with some otherwise friendly ogres.

This Session:

Having made camp near the catapults Luthaist is attacked while meditating, screaming out in alarm he manages to wake the party. Mourns bow blazes sending a hail of arrows into the pudding, but his rapid fire goes awry witha terrible 'crack!' and he breaks his bow. Moments later Stirkirk cleaves the pudding in two but is enveloped by the pudding and drug to his death (again) leaving claw marks in the dirt. Gallandin and Horin unleash a succession of flame strike, and fireball resulting in a badly charred but still oozing pudding. The fireball torches the catapults lighting up the courtyard.

In frustration Gallandin calls down the thunder and lightening which splits the pudding again! In desperation Ragnum and Luthaist take turns stabbing and pummeling the puddings - the acid dissolves Ragnums weapons but not before he deals one a fatal blow. Not to be outdone Luthaist mindless of the pain from the acid repeatedly pummel another with his fists of fury! Horin manages to bring Stirkirk back from the edge of death who then promptly charges out to whallop a pudding, the acid spray from his blows burns him to the core and he embraces death once again.

Ragnum returns Stirkirk to the land of the living while the party finally manages to beat the remaing pudding with a combination of might and magic. In the ooze the party finds a potion and a scroll cases. As its but mid evening now the party decides to retreat to the NE tower (full of the defenders bones and two massive structural cracks) thinking it will offer more protection than the open courtyard.

Sitting in the doorway so he can keep an eye on the courtyard Luthaist again takes watch so the others can rest and recover spells. As dawn breaks Luthaist spots five ogres who have returned from a patrol examining the charred remains of their catapults. Ragnum sneaks out under the cover of invisibility and and begins to taunt the ogres. He fumbles his movement making a loud and easily discrenable noise and is grabbed by the #2 ogre named Og. Ragnums famous silver tongue (nat 20 on persuasion) wins over the ogre and he goads him into fighting the leader "Nog" for control of the group. Stirkirk rushes out from the ruined tower ax in hand to save his master.

Failing to notice Stirkirk and the parties advance, Og decides to take back Rgnum back to Nog to "show him" and a battle ensues beteeen the two guillable ogres resulting in Og killing Nog. In the chaos the ogres ignore the party allowing them to get close enough to watch the fight. Realizing the risk of letting the humans escape  is greater than the risk of Velors rage. Og thinking himself "smart" decides to show these wisecracking humans and elves just how smart they are and orders the others ogres to attack the party. They madly rush to slaughter the party as before Velor or Grenell call a halt to their fun.
