The
cyclopean orcs approach…a well-laid illusion disguises the sinister
cave pool…our heroes lie in wait.
Two
one-eyed orcs approach the bait. Seeing the girl lying on the ground
they cannot help but approach. Screams of fear and agony as they fall
into the pool and are immediately turned into lunch by whatever evil
lurks beneath.
The
illusion is broken, the orcs turn to regroup. The party presses its
advantage. Frothgar calls upon his fallen dwarven brethren of days
gone by and summons two fighting dwarf spirits to join the cause.
With Frothgar and Argus leading the assault they push through the
narrow passage, wading into the orc’s front line. Orcs go down to
the left and to the right.
Behind
the front line is a group of nine hostage dwarves headed for the
slave blocks. Behind them are more orcs, orc champions, a
sinister-looking orc shaman, and the dreaded ganguth lurking at the
rear.
The
battle is short, our heroes are in force. Qillium the wizard, perhaps
urged by necessity, casts a brilliant, sun-like light upon the axe of
Argus, temporarily blinding the enemies (and Sparruu). Those one-eyes
can’t seem to take the brilliant light.
Just
as the orc shaman is about to weave his magic Skat hurls a
well-placed dagger, thumping the orc to the ground. Soon the dwarves
are freed and join the fray. The orcs are routed and what remains of
them flee the scene. The heroes take on the ganguth, its malicious
eyes focused on those enemies it has fought before: Sparruu,
Gul’Daryh, and Argus.
Axes
and swords slash at the beast but it seems to heal nearly as fast as
it is hurt. Overwhelmed by numbers, the creature runs, slashing
Sparruu out of its way and nearly killing the gnome. The thing
vanishes, as it did before.
But
Frothgar calls on Frimm to point him to evil and discovers the
monster is not gone…just invisible, and running away!
Do
the heroes have it left in them to pursue or must they call the
battle finished?
