In reply to Ogrish warrior (msg # 407):

"Should I call my kitty for lunch, or are we playing nice?"

Aoife asks mischievously, her staff still glowing ominously.

"You haven't fed your cat, yet?"  Ardenas slips Aoife a wry half-smile and sidewise wink.

"Now, as I said, I prefer to be peaceful, if I have a choice.  We need to collect Fergush and Margala, and then try to find you all another place to stay, so Mr. DuClair can finish cleaning up down here."

"I would advise listening to Ardenas, the one they call Barehand.  I  have heard Aoife's kitty is one dangerous beast, and I would hate to be around when she summons it...."

Mancini shuddered, playing up his fear.

There is a clanging sound down the hall, and heavy stomping.

Ardenas also adopts a position that won't obstruct Fergush, and resumes his foot stance.

Mancini, hearing the stomping, decides it would wise to try and get out of the ogre's way.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 416):

A larger Ogre carrying a spiked maul comes angrily around the corridor, an equally large ogress barely visible behind him, as he blocks most of the passage.

How far is Aoife from the newcomer, and what is his facing relative to her?

And facing her, or with his back to her? Can she move round behind him if he is facing her?

Ardenas stands tall (to his full height of five feet eight inches), looks the oncoming Fergush in the eye, and speaks up, as loudly as possible without sounding like he's shouting.

"Hold your water!  We're here to help you!"

Mancini moves to let the ogre through, but is smart enough to keep behind Norman.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 423):

Ignoring the small people, Fergush steps to the other ogre, poking him in the chest hard enough to push him back a step, and shouting into his face

"HOW MANY TIMES I TELL YOU, YOU NO TELL ME TO COME, I TELL YOU WHEN TO COME. YOU NOT BOSS HERE, I AM!"



There is no space to get behind or around him, bur Aoife could run under Winslow's legs and get to him that way, but would be at grave risk of being trod upon.

In reply to Ogre boss (msg # 424):

Aoife tries to touch the ogres foot with her staff, not at all successfully.

[Private to GM: Critical failure on the touch attack. I assume if the staff is dropped, the spell reverts to her hand, right?]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 425):

The staff is merely unreadied- the butt caught in a crack between flagstones and you nearly dropped it.

"We asked him to call you!"  Ardenas still stands his ground, still keeping his voice pitched low to sound as big as possible.

Lowering his voice to normal conversational level, Ardenas answers.

"See, that's the problem.  The law of the surface dwellers says this isn't your home.  This area belongs to Lamont DuClair, who owns the surface property above it.  If we can't find you and your group a new home, the same thing will happen to you as to the trolls who were here before you.

"Most of them were killed, the rest driven out with fire.  If you stay here, surface dwellers will come and kill you, and Margala, and Winslow, and Druck, and Borug."
  He pauses for a moment.  "Is Borug your son?"

In reply to Ogre boss (msg # 429):

Aoife tries to stay hidden almost beneath the massive ogres feet as she reaches up and touches some skin with her staff, discharging the sinister green glow it had been holding.

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under stealth, rolled 4 under staff attack skill, which would also benefit from the targets SM...Spell Shapeshift Other (Tuna), resisted by will...]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 431):

While not particularly strong of will, ogres are somewhat magic resistant, and the now enraged ogre maintains his form. He turns toward Ardenas.
"BORUG NO SONE OF MINE. HIM JUNIOR GANG MEMBER. YOU GET OUT MY HOUSE!"
