(That was supposed to be for the BR again. )

(why’s you re roll the damage?

 (The BR is dead. See post 2287. The only other target was the regular ogre... You didn't roll for the damage in post 2290, so to save time, I did. If you'd like to roll, I'll use that result instead.)

(DC 14 wisdom or 7 and run. Maybe this time it’ll work.)

(perception:6)

  (Oops. I was a bit busy, I didn’t notice that he was dead. I did roll damage, and, as much as I would like to use yours, I’m an honest man, and I stick to what I do. It’s right up there.)

(I have finished editing Post 2293. The party is up for round 3. I have also updated the DM Notes on the Campaign page.

If everyone posts, I'll move things forward. But if people are busy with Memorial Day traveling, the combat can be put on hold until things settle down in real life.)

Isk will transfer the hex to the new Ogre and whirl his glaive at him from 10 feet away.  Attack: 18 Damage: 8 + 4 from hex

Edit: drat

Edit2: after the attack, Isk will use his movement to fall back 30 feet east.

Trimyrai is going to attack the regular ogre and is starting to wonder/worry where are the guild's guards.

Movement: no movement this turn.

Action: Attack: (range 150 (600) ) 15 (attack with longbow/piercing) 

Damage: (if it hits) 5 (piercing damage)

Bonus Action: no bonus action this turn.

Jack moves up to the Ogre. “Thanks. I was looking for a way to test myself today. Ye are just-“ He swings!

Attack: 18 Damage: 3

”What I wanted.”

”So, your mom wasn’t part of a Bandit Gang with an Ex-Pirate, was she?”

(Status update: Isk, Jack, and Trim have posted for round 3; Froskan and Reverie are up.)

”So, your mom wasn’t part of a Bandit Gang with an Ex-Pirate, was she?”

"Moma run away with tiny bandit man. Red bat man say you kill moma, burn moma, make moma into freak." The ogre glances at the broken main gate. "Now moma here, do same to you!"

Jack’s eyes go wide. “She lived? We thought she was dead! I’m so sorry. Well, she attacked us, so not really, but she was a good mother. We even said death rites and everything. Spread her ashes with a friend. Wait... is this Red Bat man an Imp or something of the likes? He might be manipulating you!”

 Froskan decides to try another ball of fire, hoping it goes better than most of hte previous ones.

Attack: 21 Damage: 10

"Are you seriously telling me that she is still alive?" Reverie frowns before she shoots an arrow towards the Ogre.

Attack, Heavy Crossbow - 20 Damage - 6

Regular ogres are meat tanks: lots of health, but about as easy to hit as an ordinary citizen. Iskander's glaive is knocked aside by the ogre's club, but the remaining 4 attacks hit for 24 damage (total this combat of 40). It is wounded with some heavy cuts, but is still fighting fiercely.

The (regular) ogre takes a club swing at Jack. Attack: 17 Damage: 9. The club hits Jack (15/35 hp).

The ogre responds to Jack's last comment (post 2301). "Red bat man not have limp. And not try make ogre into man-plants." (He looks confused what this might be, but it sounds bad.) "Red bat man say you kill moma, burn moma, then make moma into freak. Moma look different, smell like goblin run over by cart and in sun for days... Red bat man save moma, bring moma to us. Red bat man tell ogres what bad men look like, and bad men here. Now crush and smash." 

(Iskander and Trimyrai are not sure about what Jack, Reverie, and the ogre are talking about, but they can ask after combat is over. If something happened in the past, they don't know why this ogre was told that they were with the other 3 whenever it happened.)

Start of round 4

The thing outside is tearing at the gate door, as the current ogre-sized opening is too small for it. (Cannot enter this round.) It is a bloated wall of rotting ogre flesh. It has the lumbering gait of a zombie, but it is like no ogre zombie you have heard of. Half of it is from one source: an obese she-ogre, blackened and well burned (but not burned to ashes), and missing body parts. Both arms, one leg, the back, and half the face have been grafted on from multiple other (non-burned) ogres.

(It is labeled on the map as an ogre zombie (OZ), but it also has some of the strengths of a Greater Zombie (resistance to undead-turning, two attacks). While it somewhat resembles a flesh golem, it is definitely a mindless, attacking zombie.)

Reverie is at 19/36 hp. Jack is at 15/35 hp.

The regular ogre has taken 40 damage and is fairly wounded. If the regular ogre is still alive after this round, and you are talking to it, add a Persuasion or Deception roll (depending on what you are saying).

The mutant she-Ogre Zombie is trying to get through the main gate door, but that will take another round. (It does not have cover.)

All members of the party are up.

Isk runs back up, next to Jack and attacks again with his glaive.

Attack: 20 Damage: 7 + 3 hex damage

“Great. Ok. Here’s what happened:

We kill mama. Now, mama is happy. In good place. Red bat man come. He make Mama smell bad and look like freak. Then say we did that. That is Man-Ip-Ul-at-ion. You believe him, you attack us, but we no do that, ok?” 

While he talks, Jack swings!

Attack: 18 Damage: 6

Trimyrai not understanding the story behind whats going on is focusing on the battle at hand.

Movement: no movement this turn.

Action: Attack: (range 150 (600) ) 24 (attack with longbow/piercing) 

Damage: (if it hits) 10 (piercing damage)

Bonus Action: no bonus action this turn.

Between Isk and Jack, they've done enough damage that the ogre is wobbling on its feet, bleeding heavily. The ogre responds to Jack. "You not make moma into zombie freak? It was red bat man, and he black cloak friend with skeleton and wights? No, not true!"

The ogre, in denial, tries to club Jack. Trim's arrow deals the final damage, and fells it.

(Froskan and Reverie can still act in round 4. The regular ogre is dead, and its body is "difficult" terrain for movement. The mutant she-ogre zombie is about to burst through the main gate.)

Reverie gasps and surprises by the fact what the Ogre said. "Red Bat man brings your..." Then she curses under her breath. "Is the Ogre implying their dead mother came back as an undead one?" After a moment, she tries to go over the Ogre.

“What have ye done! Oh, great. Reverie, do ye know any ‘Make zombie into dead normal thing’ spells? I don’t feel comfortable killing this thing.” 

Reverie hums. "Unfortunately, that I do not," she replies, "but I have this spell called protection from evil and good. Would you like me to cast that spell for you?"

“Crap. Crap. Oh no..” Everyone hears Jack speak in the language he spoke with the Mer-People, most likely a curse word. “Maybe on someone who could kill this thing easier? Good idea though.”
