Hilerno sidesteps the Ogre's huge mace!
It cracks the flagstone he slams it into!

Aoifes touch I now?

In reply to Aoife (msg # 286):

Aoife strikes the ogre, and he starts to shimmer... what is he turning into?

In reply to Ogre (msg # 287):

Aoife only has one option... a tuna!

In reply to Aoife (msg # 288):

The ogre's shape blurs and it collapses onto the floor, flopping!

"Aoife!  We aren't here to kill them, we just need to get them out of this section of the cellars."

Id ain' dead yed ...

In reply to Oly (msg # 291):

"You seemed to be a whole lot more violent than this. If you like I can dispel it and you can go back to him trying to kill you..."

In reply to Aoife (msg # 292):

"He is disarmed, perhaps we can throw a rope around him before turning him back?"

"Still, how will we negotiate with the others if we kill this one?  Is there some way to keep him in this form, but keep him from dying?  A spell to let the fish breathe air, perhaps?"

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 295):

"Anyone have a large container of water? What about that cauldron in the other room? Any spellcasters can create water? I sadly cannot..."

"I'm limited to Movement College, I fear.  I could levitate the fish, for a short time, or even the cauldron, but I can't create water."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 297):

"Turn him back, small fey. It is not fitting that such a combatant die from suffocation."

In reply to Hilerno Orison (msg # 298):

"Are you sure?"

Wid luck he haz noded whad could happen ifn' he don' play nice.

In reply to Oly (msg # 300):

Aoife dispels the spell and steps back.

As the fish begins to shift back into ogre's shape, Ardenas watches for arms to appear, and attempts to catch one before it's fully formed, but is unbalanced by his heavy pack and misses the grab.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 302):

The ogre reforms, face down and flopping, gasping, very disoriented, and stunned.

Quick-releasing his backpack, Ardenas rummages inside for rope before pulling out a coil of heavy stuff.

"Oly, help me hogtie him."  Holding several feet, he tosses the rest of the coil toward the ogre's feet before starting to wrap the part he held around the wrists, pulling them together in the small of the ogre's back.

"Anyone good with knots?  I'm as likely to tie a slipknot as one that'll hold."


OOC: This is 3/4" rope, rated for 1100 lbs., twenty yards total.

While Oly works on tying the ogre's wrists, Ardenas will move to wrapping his ankles, while keeping an eye on him to be sure he doesn't recover too much before we can get him immobilized.
