2 ogres and 0 dire wolves show up and launch themselves into the fray. 

Ogre 4 initiative: 9
Ogre 5 initiative: 15

Initiative order:
Zane (21)
Ketrey (19)
Ogres 3 and 5 (15)
Aurora (11)
Ogre 4 (9)
Gregor (8)
Ogre 2 (0)

Zane uses his action to continue casting teleportation circle (7/10 rounds). 

Ketrey's turn. 

"This is getting ridiculous" Ketrey says as she throws her hands forward casting burning hands at 4th level DC16 DEXsave versus 23 fire damage at as many ogres as she can get in her sight

OOC: You wouldn't happen to be an Evocation wizard, by any chance? 

(OOC: just so happens that I am)

3, 11, 11, and 16. 

OOC: At the bottom of the first post here is some very valuable information. 

Ogre 3 finally gets a good look at Aurora and, after spending a split second looking dumbfounded, tries to grapple her.  6

Ogre 5 does a quick double-take and rushes to join ogre 3.  If ogre 3 grapples Aurora, ogre 5 tries to knock her prone; if not, he tries to grapple her.  7

They would appear to be quite severely distracted by something.  I can't imagine what it could be.

OOC: Sorry about the wait.  I somehow lost track of the fact that I had two ogres in the next initiative slot. 

Dexterity checks: 9, 18

"Nuh-uh!" Aurora says and wiggles her finger as the ogres grab at her in vain. She then points the finger at ogre 3 and releases another Eldritch Blast.

Attack 1: 13, Damage:15

Attack 2: 28, Damage:15

(OOC: Sorry, forgot to include the grapple checks at first)

"Hey, you're attacking a small one from the front while the big one can hit you from the back. That's not smart!" Gregor calls out, trying to divert their attention from the casters, before rushing towards the Ogre Aurora just hit and swinging his large blade down on it. He then turns with the momentum of the swing to bring it down again.

(Greatsword Attacks - 1 18 to hit, 15 damage, 2 17 to hit, 14 damage)

(OOC: Second roll was a 1, so automatic miss it seems)

(OOC: BTW My first attack also did 9 damage before I edited and had only had an 11 to hit. Why did it change the rolls? Some edits don't change the rolls.)

Ogre 4 attacks Gregor with surprising speed, but misses anyway.  17

Gregor cuts down ogre 3. 

Ogre 2 takes another swing at Ketrey . . . and trips over her, landing prone.    8

1 ogres and Unable to parse dice roll. dire wolves barge in. 

Ogre 6 initiative: 13
Ogre 7 initiative: 12

 (OOC: I have found that if you edit new rolls to appear before existing rolls, all are treated as new. SO, if you need to edit new rolls into a post, enter them after the original rolls that were posted)

 

Ketrey Watches as the Ogre *nearly* decapitates himself and tilts her head quizzically, like a curious puppy.

 She calmly takes a deep breath and focuses her energy on keeping the ogres in her range, again casting burning hands  at level 4 DC16 DEXsave 21 fire damage

4, 10, 7, 8, and 19

Ogres 2, 5, and 7 fail.  Gregor thinks he might be able to take out 2 and 5 with one swing each.  Ogres 4 and 6 succeed. 

Ogre 5 tries again to grapple Aurora.  21

Ogre 7 lunges at Aurora, eyes nearly bulging out of his head, and tries to grapple her if ogre 5 fails, or to knock her prone if ogre 5 succeeds.  18

Acrobatics checks: Versus Ogre 5; 13, versus ogre 7; 22

Getting grabbed by the newly arrived, more competent ogre, Aurora tries to free herself immediately: Acrobatics: 6

21

The new ogre is too strong for you.  He murmurs something in Giant that makes the other ogres laugh raucously and Burk whimper and try to hide under his dire wolf's blanket. 

Ogre 4 swings at Gregor, trying to get him out of the way quickly.  13

Gregor parries the blow easily and. . . 

Seeing that the Ogres are still going after the casters (and showing remarkable un-Ogre like intelligence by doing so), Gregor arches an eyebrow, and at takes a swing at "Ogre 2", and and then spins deftly into a thrust towards "Ogre 5's" back.  

(Greatsword Attacks - Ogre 2 26 to hit, 17 damage, Ogre 5 12 to hit, 13 damage)

"You're cowards!  Incompetent COWARDS!" he roars, baring his teeth (and oversized canines) and the Ogres still going after Ketrey and Aurora.  "Too scared to fight a REAL Warrior?!"  

Edit: (OOC: Goodness gracious, I'm starting to LOVE Great Weapon Mastery.  Rolled a 2?  Nope, 6!  Snake eyes?  Well now it's a 2 and a 5!)

Ogres 2 and 5 drop like logs. 

Ogre 6 spends a moment trying to figure out what Gregor just said, then charges him.  11

Gregor ducks. 

1 ogres and Unable to parse dice roll. dire wolves arrive and join the fray.  Dire wolves are, once again, conspicuously absent. 

Ogre 8 initiative: 15
Ogre 9 initiative: 3

Initiative order:
Zane (21)
Ketrey (19)
Ogre 7 (12)
Aurora (11)
Ogre 4 (9)
Gregor (8)
Ogres 8 and 9 (5)
Ogre 6 (0)

Zane uses his action to continue casting teleportation circle (9/10 rounds). 

Ketrey's turn. 

OOC: They weren't specifically targeting the casters.  Ketrey's a gnome and have you seen Aurora's character art? 

 Ketrey calls to the others "This is it boys and girls, Lets get a move on!" casts burning hands  at level 4 DC16 DEXsave 12 fire damage. She then positions herself to be ready to zip out with the rest of the team.

8, 7, 16, 15, and 15

Ogre 7, surprising all of you by thinking quickly, swings Aurora into the path of the flames, forcing you to part them around her. 

He then tries to drag Aurora down to the floor.  8

Zane is sweating like crazy, but keeps concentrating.
