26th day of Snowmoot:
Taking advantage of the secure location, Grog placed an alarm spell on the north door and outside corridor. They took it turns to keep a watch on the southern door. The night passed without incident.
27th day of Snowmoot:
Rested and replenished, healed, fed and watered the group considered their next move. It was decided to chance the bridge they had scouted to the south (6) and cross over the waterway.
Garet scouted ahead and quickly moved over the bridge. Fargrim, Bandur followed, Grog jumped the waterway as Aramil and Aerie covered from the other side then moved onto the bridge. Garet continued to scout north up the path running alongside the waterway. Fargim listened, then opened the door (13).
and entered a room full of Reptilian, humanoid creatures. Stepping back he shouted out "3, there are only 3."
A number of javelins flew through the door towards the group, all missed. 2 reptilians charged the door, Fargrim and Bandur dispatched these two with ease.
No more followed as Aramil stepped into the doorway and let loose one of his spells, magic missiles darted into the room and a Reptilian was hit. The reptilians dragged tables and beds to form a makeshift barricade across the room, as more javelins were hurled through the doorway.
Aramil used his quick reactions and put up a shield spell, 3 of the javelins were deflected, the fourth headed straight for him, forcing Aramil to duck and it struck Grog.
Aerie quickly fired and an arrow and hit another reptilian. Grog fired a frost ray and summoned his spiritual weapon to assist. Fargrim backed away to give them room as Aramil cast burning hands and set fire to two overturned tables and hitting a reptilian. Grog, followed by Bandur charged into the room and attacked the reptilians. Aerie summoned her spiritual weapon (a javelin) and moved it into the room.
Garet, having moved into the shadows up the passageway, could overhear voices talking in common. They were about 60 feet away and out of sight. (22) They were talking of intruders and that they had to keep an eye out otherwise the boss would be angry.
Aramil, knowing he had pushed his luck retreated and followed the route of Garet until he found him. Garet quickly brought him up to speed as to what he had overheard. They overheard the continuing conversation about a green skin moving fast and probably off to tell madame something.
Reptilians were being killed in the room by Grog and Bandur when one made a break out the north door. Garet seeing this moved swiftly and killed the reptilian in full sight of the humanoids, looking round he could see they were cultists, at least 4 plus a leader. They started running away shouting intruders, alarm, intruders alarm.
An Ogre, foaming at the mouth, eyes wide open and screaming kill, kill, kill; ran round the corner into view. Aerie cast sleep and the frenzied, berserker raging Ogre smashed into the floor asleep.
Fargrim stepped over the Ogre and struck 2 severe blows. A second Ogre charged around the corner and up the stairs onto the bridge, swinging down its mighty club it only managed to hit Aerie once. Aerie had a triple arrow shot ready to fire into the prone Ogre but seeing the Ogre above her let fly without hesitation.
2 arrows thudded into the Ogre causing massive damage from such short range, the 3rd was the killer, slightly lower, fired upwards the arrow struck the Ogre between the legs and with a howl fell into the waterway with a splash, quite dead.
The first Ogre managed to regain his feet and struck Fargim a mighty blow, causing much damage. Grog faired little better as the last reptilian struck home with 2 heavy blows before Garet, who had rushed into the room through the north door, struck the reptilian down.
Aerie stepped behind Fargrim and cast a healing prayer. Fargrim and Grog could feel the revitalising energy flow into their bodies. Their wounds didn't seem too bad now.
The Group decided to regroup in the room of the Reptilians. (13)
