Having gutted one ogre Minmorc begins shouting "for the shinies!" But the hit from the next ogre in line considerably dampens his spirits. Taking a five foot step to the north east Minmorc will reach over the top of his treasured meat shields, I mean brothers in arms to take a jab at Ogre 3.

Jurz holds Moffa Frog close, but not close enough that she can kiss him "Youze gets ready to kiss Oopses. "  he murmurs "An I hopes you have learned da frog jumping fing proper." he adds as he reaches as low down as he can and flips the little frog behind him.

Looking Up he grins nastily and charges Rog straight towards Ogre no 1.

Dregz shrieks like an Elf having a bad hair day as the ogre's club lands but inches from him, but it seems that affront does not cower the little goblin, but riles him, for he places his Holy Book reverently on the ground before unfurling his sling and hunting in his pocket for a couple of the remaining metal slugs.  "How dare dey !" the priest demands.

 She ducked down flinching when the great club came flying over and nearly crushed them, but landing just in front of them. She used Dregz' scream of outrage to cover any whisper of sound she might make as she moved sideways then forward a bit to get a good target in sight. She loaded a bullet into her sling, then let it go aimed at the ogre next to the dead one hoping to cause some damage or at least distract it long enough that her friends could take it down.

01:08, Today: Raven rolled 5 using 1d4+1. damage if any.
01:08, Today: Raven rolled 19 using 1d20+4. ranged attack (sling).
01:07, Today: Raven rolled 21 using 1d20+7. move silently.

Grakk ducks as the ogre's greatclub sails overhead then he bellows his war cry and steps forward to hack at the ogre with his greataxe. Then he follows through by lowering his head and driving his horns into the ogre's gut as well!

Bully looks a bit undecided for a moment as he weighs his shovel in one hand and the longspear Minmorc found for him in the other hand. The longspear feels just a bit heavier, so he drops the shovel and jabs at ogre 3 with the longspear. All that thinking didn't help his concentration, unfortunately, so his thrust is not aimed very well.

OOC: Partial update ... Oopses, Arlein and Moffdust have not acted yet this round.

Riza tries to shoot at the closest ogre (O1) again but her fingers slip and the shot goes wild, narrowly missing Minmorc instead.

The grievously wounded Minmorc backs off a step or two behind Bulldust and jabs over the bugbear's head at the unarmed ogre (O3) with his greatspear Vera. He hits and seriously wounds the ogre.

Jurz drops Moffa-frog in the grass behind him then urges Rog onwards in a reckless charge at the westernmost ogre (O1). The ogre sees him coming and swings his greatclub low to meet dog and rider before they reach him. He shouts something in a harsh language as he swings. [Language unknown: "Ti!"] However, pure survival instinct kicks in and somehow Rog manages to bound right over the swinging club and avoid the devastating blow it threatened to deliver. The action puts dog and rider off their aim and both completely miss their target.

Dregz and Raven are both startled by the ogre's greatclub landing right in front of them. Dregz places his precious Holy Book on the ground and pulls out his sling but Raven scurries sideways with sling already in hand to find a better spot to shoot from. Her sling bullet flies true and hits the eastern ogre (O3) in the chest.

Grakk swings his greataxe as he quickly steps forward to attack the weaponless ogre (O3). His greataxe slashes open the ogre's belly and the great brute practically folds forward as he collapses right on top of the minotaur's horns. When Grakk pushes the ogre off and aside, the ogre crashes to the ground, obviously very dead.

Bulldust was just about to spear that ogre as well but when the ogre falls he swings his spear toward the western ogre (O1) instead and steps forward just far enough to lunge at the big brute. However the last moment change of plan throws off his aim and his longspear misses the ogre.

OOC: Main game map updated. Bless cast by Minmorc last round gives everyone +1 on attack rolls for 9 more rounds.

The little green Moffa-frog squats in the tall grass where Jurz dropped her.

"Brrrdup, brrrdup, brrrdup," she croaks [Language unknown: "Whte elthmo, heonis, thutheers!"]

In reply to Raven (msg # 7):

Oopses looses his round to trying not to get froggered.

With two ogres dead their leader calls and waves his arm, beckoning the other ogre back toward him. [Language unknown: "Plel-plet, ta ecer ame! Ni fofiek andwerlat ic!"]

That ogre (O1) scowls but does indeed disengage and backs away to rejoin Die-Arda.

"Orright, looks like youz is Arda-Nuff after all! Youz can keeps youz shinies," Die-Arda announces.

OOC: Main game map updated. New round – anyone can act now.

Expecting Minmorc to respond to the Ogre, Jurz moves along, behind the bigs, until he comes to the fallen ogres.  Dismounting he starts to inspect them for signs of life, death and anything interesting.

But most importantly he is looking to see if either of them are still breathing.  He still needs a live one for Moffa.

Grakk sniggers a bit when Die-Arda calls off the other ogre.

"His name is Ugleemug. Good name for him!" he tells his friends.

"Looks like we got a new name, too. We's Arda-Nuff!"

Both of the defeated ogres are dead. No joy for Moffdust there.

The goblin priest scowls at the two surviving Ogres.  The look is indeed one that might well kill ... but Dregz chooses to stay his hand at the moment in the hope that the pair will clear off. 

"Arda-Nuff," he echoes softly, vindictively.

Minmorc will shake his head angrily, pull a wand from his sporran and jab himself, saying under his breath "gettup". Glaring at Dies Arda he'll jab Vera over the heads of team Arda Nuff and will snarl "dat bloody hurt. Dies, give us yer shinies right now, else yer not leavin dose rocks alive."

In reply to Minmorc (msg # 64):

Oopses is still trying to take in evetything that's as happened in the past turn gawks as minroc challenges the ogres.

Die-Arda snorts with laughter.

"Youz ain't dat Ard," he chuckles. "Ain't got no shinies, anyways. Carkin' giant an' 'is pack of gnolls what was 'ere before us, dey took me shinies when we got 'ere. Dat's der ways it works, see? You wants shinies? Go dig inna carkin' midden in dere!"

He waves his arm back toward the rocky outcrop behind him.

"Dere's summat shinin' in dere, if youz want dat bad enough! Buncha elf junk from some what der giant an' 'is gnolls killed an' ate. Bah! Elf junk's no use. Can't trades it in Gorna. Nobody wants it 'cos it don't fit nobody. But youz wants to be pretty like elfses? Shiny like elfses? Youz can 'ave as much of dat shit as youz wants. We's leaving!"

Minmorc's demand suprises and delights Dregz, causing a snort of laughter to erupt from the little goblin.  "Youse got big stones," he tells the orc approvingly, moved to collect his Holy Book, tucking it under his arm and takes a step around the huge club to advance to Minmorc's side.  "Youse need a cure, big guy ?  Bargrivyek approves of youse !"

Minmorc snorts the snort of disappointment and scowls at Dies Arda. Glancing down Minmorc will grin at Dregz and nod. "Yerp, more Healy stuff'd be good. Der more godses dat likes me der betters, ders already a god dat likes me, if I wish real hard ee makes me stones bigger, just gotta figure out oo ee is so I can ask im fer more stuff." Minmorc will then go back to scowling at Dies Arda and will start the two fingers pointing from his eyes to Dies letting him know that Minmorcs watching him.

"Youse betcha !" the little goblin priest drapes his sling over his shoulder and pulls out the healy stick, muttering the holy words to invoke his god's aid as he touches it against the big orc's knee (being about as high as he can reach), before joining Minmorc in scowling belligerently at the surviving ogres.

"Ugly Mug!" Bulldust snorts with laughter when he finally gets the joke. "Youz sees, Moffa? Even his own muvver and favver finks he's too ugly for any uvver namesez to fits!"

Bulldust smirks as he takes a step back between Grakk and Minmorc. He plants the butt of his longspear against the ground behind him then waves the pointy end in the direction of the ogres.

"Ugly Mug!" he snorts again. "Didya getya looks from ya muvver?"

The little green Moffa-frog starts hop, hop, hopping through the grass toward her big bruvver Bulldust.

Jurz checks the two fallen ogres but finds both to be truly dead.

Minmorc applies a wand to begin to speed up the healing of his wounds. His challenge to Die-Arda reveals the ogres have no treasure other than the elf junk dumped in their midden heap. Dregz moves forward to offer Bargrivyek's help to close Minmorcs's wounds as well.

Grakk interprets Die-Arda's giantish instructions and chuckles as he translates the other ogre's name as Ugleemug. Bulldust can't ignore such a funny name and begins to tease the ogre about it. He also mimic's Minmorc's previous tactic of setting his spear in case the ogre gets too upset about the joke. Moffa-frog hops up to join Bulldust, perhaps hoping to impart a bit of sisterly advice before it is too late.

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone else when Ugleemug the ogre (O1) finally snaps and charges forward with an angry roar. He charges straight at Bulldust. Bully levels the spear and skewers the ogre through his belly as he rushes forward. It is a grievous wound but not enough to stop the ogre and he still swings his greatclub at Bulldust as he closes in. The blow is on target but deflects off Bully’s magical black chainshirt armour, leaving the bugbear miraculously unscathed.

Die-Arda snorts in disgust, "Dey's all so carkin' dumb! Why's youz ogre boyz all too carkin' dumb to live?" He turns his back and retreats inside the rocky outcrop without a backward glance.

OOC: Main game map updated.

"Hur, hur, hur! So yer wanna play too, eh, Ugly! Well, eres Wilson, spike!" Minmorc will step forward back into position, will pull Wilson out of his bag and without letting go of Vera will ram the spiky ball into the ogres chest.
