Stonehell: Magic Beats Ogres

Session 143 was played on 5/14

Eiric, Magic-User 8 (Kat)
Boris, Cleric 5 (Jeff)
Morgana, Mage 5 (Robert)
Borumar, Thief 8 (Josh)
Kili, Dwarf Cleric of Cthulhu 7 (Matt)
Karl, Dwarf 8 (Julia)
Joho, Mystic (Chris)
Ool, Mystic 1 (NPC)
Daton, Fighter 4 (Jay)

Starting in the eastern living caves (with more party members), the party decides to revisit the locust cave. As they approach they see light from within. An ogre is tossing something to the bugs. Kili(!) charges right in, and the ogre is killed before he can make anything resembling an effective defense. The bugs are hopping all over, bumping harmlessly (mostly) into the party.

Beyond the locust cave they find the long decayed body of a wizard, and his moldy spellbook. They take the book in hopes of being able to recover something from it. Karl leaves a Karl Coin in the boot of the wizard after smacking the skeleton’s ass with his 10’ pole.

Back to the locust cave, then to the south, they spy 4 ogres wrestling with a trio of chained white apes. Along another passage they find 3 ogres in a disgusting kitchen. Fighting 3 ogres is better than fighting 4 ogres plus some apes, so into the kitchen it is. Karl and Kili in the lead. Karl ends up getting smashed by an ogre wielding the corpse of… something that was humanoid. The broken bones were painful, but the various juices in the face were the worst part. Karl hit the ogre back for nearly as much damage as he took. Joho does an impressive scissors kick to an ogre’s crotch then face, dropping him.

Ogres begin to charge in both from the cave with the apes, as well as from further to the south. Ladies Eiric and Morgana use Fireball, while Kili and Boris follow up with Hold Person. The ogres didn’t stand a chance, even the big one in the cobbled together armor.

Looting the corpses, they return to town, only to be pelted by dirt clods from some annoyed gnomes along the road. Eiric uses a single magic missile to cause the gnomes to flee.

Gains: Ogre loot (coins and gems)
Kills: Lots of Ogres
