The Wildemount Irregulars (2020)

Even in its rage the half-ogre manages to avoid Magnum's strikes.

Round Three
Silent
Half-Ogre 2
Magnum and Auspex

Solro has paused his retreat and is watching you nervously.

Silent is up.  You can easily flank the remaining Half-Ogre if you wish.

Silent will flank the half-ogre and aim a slash at its chest. 

Silent's Attack 22 Damage: 15    

That's a hit and a huge slice through the half-ogre's torso. 

It disengages and runs thirty feet.

Magnum is up.

Magnum fires Magic Missile at the fleeing half ogre.  All three darts.

Damage - 12

All three hit, but the half-ogre is still on its feet and fleeing.

Round Four
Silent
Half-Ogre 2 (thirty feet from you all)
Magnum and Auspex

Silent is up.

Silent sheaths his blade and calls after the fleeing half-ogre. Tell your mates to steer clear, yeah? 

To Magnum: Not sure if this one understands Common but it's worth a shot. 

If it does, it didn't seem to mind killing those other travelers.   Assuming they begged for their lives, of course.  I do know a language it'll understand, however.

When it's his turn, Magnum will fire another Magic Missile as long as the half ogre is still in range.

The half ogre continues to flee, dashing away at full speed.   Magnum is indeed in range to cast Magic Missile again if he wishes.

Magnum is impassive as he fires another Magic Missile.  Three motes of arcane energy rocket out of his hand and into the back of the fleeing half-ogre.

10

He's badly hurt but he keeps running.  Are you going to chase?

Magnum will run to keep him in range of one last shot.

Okay, there's no way he can outpace you, at least for one more shot.  Roll the magic missile.

9

The half-ogre falls.  Combat is over.

Silent gives a long whistle as he watches Magnum finish off the half-ogre. Casting a glance at Solro he says, Bet you're glad he's on your side now, eh Solro? Your old team wasn't this lethal, I'll tell you that. 

I wonder if we should check the bodies of their last victims.  See if we can figure out who they are or where they were going.

Silent will help Magnum rifle through the bodies. 

Magnum is checking for anything that might indicate who they are, or barring that, where they were heading to/from. 

Solro is far distant, and he approaches slowly.  When he arrives, you speak to him and he responds:  Well, my former master had more highly-skilled warriors in his employ than the ones you...faced.  I don't think he will send them after us - he keeps them close.

You find the half-ogres' two battleaxes, which you can sell for 5 gold each.  You also find 11 gold and 23 silver.  Around the campsite, there are no corpses and you don't find anything else initially, but make a Survival check.
