Resist Cold is shorter duration than Endure Cold. Endure Cold is kind of like a Stoneskin spell.

We are going to deal with the Ogre-Magi camp that we found a while back. Esterwhile has Burning Hands.

Sapphira and Jedor pay their upkeep.

They are memorizing multiple Endure Cold and Resist Cold spells. Ogre-Magi have at will spell abilities that function kind of like Psionic abilities so these would not necessarily be effected by Silence.

Looking for Men-at-arms in Starling:

• 29 Crossbowmen plus Captain.

Ptolemy will buy a light riding horse.

We set out for the Ogre-Magi!

4 hexes to get there and we are mostly on Medium Horses. It is Cloudy in the morning as we head out, travel is uneventful.

We are getting pretty close to the location, a half mile away.

Josalyn casts Endure Cold on Esterwhile and Resist Cold on herself and Jacob.

Lusia casts Endure Cold on herself and Voltendo, Thorgard, Tatrin, and Xrith.

Tatrin casts Endure Cold on Sapphira, Jedor and Ptolemy.

This lasts for 9 turns per level. It takes 10 minutes max to get half a mile away. Josalyn casts Find Traps once we get close. She will activate her rod once we get ready to charge in. -4 AC and +4 to saves when activated, costs 1 charge.

There is a big wooden teepee thing, about 100' tall and 100' in diameter. Inside of the circle… They are 11“ away.

Jacob is not wearing the periapt.

They are surprised by us.

There are two gnolls working on the teepee repairs, they are on the left side of the teepee.

• Sapphira and Jedor charge.
• Xrith charges with Sapphira.
• Thorgard will charge as well
• Tatrin moves up 6”.
• Jacob will charge.
• Josalyn charges.
• Esterwhile moves forward.
• Phineas moves 20' back from the Gnolls. 2“ away.
• Lusia moves out the other way with Voltendo.
• Ptolemy stays where he is.

We lose the initiative, some of us are charging. 2 segments of movement. The Gnolls raise a shout of alarm and then cut right into the teepee.

Sapphira and Jedor have found an entrance. It is a triangular entrance in the wood. 2 layers of fortification. Structure looks robust.

Hanging in the doorway are some witch doctor charms. They hang from the ceiling above the doorway, like windchimes. Swinging as though they have been disturbed. There are some burning braziers inside the teepee. Massive cauldron in the center which is dormant.

Around the perimeter are tables and chairs with strange objects with weapons, crates and supplies. it is a two level structure with an upper level, there is a catwalk with a big ladder going up.

Inside of the teepee are the two Gnolls, shouting near the center of the cauldron. There is also a Warg with an Ogre-Magi on the bottom level.

The cauldron is in the middle, a big one with smaller cauldrons around it. The 2 Gnolls are right next to the cauldron and the Ogre-Magi is by a table with the Warg. On the upper catwalk level is a second Ogre-Magi. He was doing something as there is smoke coming up from a table, he is 50' high. The ladder is by the other Ogre-Magi.

That is what we can see standing outside.

The Ogre-Magi with the Warg has a Masakari and the one on the catwalk has a Naginata. A lengthy butterfly shaped polearm. The Gnolls have great bows and halberds and shields. It is a 10' wide catwalk that the other Ogre-Magi is standing upon.

The catwalk has angled support beams coming out from the wall. There is hide for insulation on the inside of the wooden outer teepee. Its wooden paneled. More like a yurt. There are no openings to sneak in through.

You can only charge for 10 segments of movement.

• Thorgard moves to engage with the Magi.
• Tatrin moves to the door.
• Jacob and Josalyn engage.
• Phineas moves to the front of the Yurt.
• Lusia goes to the doorway.
• Voltendo goes to the doorway.
• Ptolemy charges the entrance but does not enter.
• Sapphira moves toward the Warg.
• Jedor moves to engage the Gnolls.
• Xrith moves to the Ogre-Magi.

We win the initiative.

The Two Ogre-Magi go invisible. The Warg begins to charge and the two Gnolls pull out their bows to shoot us. Gnolls need 1 segment to shoot. The Warg moves into melee in 1 segment.

Must hit AC 6 against the Warg. AC 7 due to charge, and they are Large. Thorgard hits for 8, Jacob hits for 11. Josalyn hits for 8 damage. Sapphira misses. The Warg got killed!

The two Gnolls fire their bow, they get two shots each. Both are shooting at Jedor. AC 3/3. No modifier for the great bow. AC 1 for Jedor due to Protection from Evil. 3 hits! 4 Hits! The great bow does 1d6 damage, total of 12 damage to Jedor!

The hole at the top of the teepee is big enough the Ogre Magi could get through but there is no way to climb up to it.

Xrith hits for 5 damage against a Gnoll. Sleep goes off after 1 segment. It encompasses both the Gnolls. Both Gnolls are out of range. Phineas is a human so he is slept.

On the next segment the Gnolls pull out their halberds against Jedor and Xrith. Xrith has AC -3 with PFE, Both Gnolls Miss!

Thorgard and the rest see the ladder moving a bit. Shakes once violently before settling down.

• Jacob and Josalyn get to the top of the ladder by the end of the round. Then they throw

down balls of flour.

The other Ogre Magi is above the entrace, 40' in the air. They both discharge magic abilities. One discharges Sleep at everyone outside. Lygan, Tatrin, Voltendo. Voltendo is slept.

Cone of Cold is blasted at the group above. They get some kind of cover due to being below the platform. 50% cover. Saves at +4. Jacob and Josalyn both save. They both have resist cold. They take 1/4 damage. 35 damage /4 9 damage each. Jacobs armor absorbs all, he has 1 point of damage to him since his armor is now broken. He is AC -4/1.

Dispel Magic is cast 35' in the air. It fails against one but she gets the other one! He falls 4” and takes 15 damage. Sapphira hits for 4, Xrith hits for 10. Jedor hits for 7, We kill both of the Gnolls!

Thorgard does 4 damage to one of the invisible Ogre Magi. It is now hit and they know where it is. Jacob hit as well. Phineas misses.

Dispel Magic goes off and he FAILS! The Ogre Magi falls and takes 11 damage!

We surround the Ogre Magi, Lusia can make the attack but the rest of us are just moving. Lusia misses. Detect Magic is cast. It takes 2 segments to find the guy, the Chief is over by the center now.

On segment 5, the Ogre Magi uses an ability. The one in front of us is Gaseous. One is using Cone of Cold against us. 2“ wide so we are all effected.

Sapphira loses endure cold, Jedor, Xrith, Tatrin, Lusia, Lygan all lose their Endure Cold. No damage is taken but it is spent! The Ogre Magi that is Gaseous is not effected.

They get shots on the Ogre Magi, AC 4. Jacob hits for 2 and 4, Thorgard hits for 6.

Jacob hits for 5 and 4 damage. Thorgard did 6 damage. The two arrows hit, then they go horizontal. Then we hear a thud! Two arrows are sticking out of him.

At the end of the round it is now 6” in height. Ogre Magi regeneration does not work like Troll regeneration, where they dont come back from the dead.

Dispel Magic goes off right away. It SUCCEEDS! The Ogre Magi fall to the ground and takes 28 damage.

We would have been wiped out by the Cone of Cold but we had Endure Colds.

We Killed ALL of them!

Jedor lays on hands on himself and Tatrin heals him for 3, Voltendo lays on hands for 2.

Josalyn casts Detect Magic and sees some glowing items. We can use the weapons. The trapped chest is mechanical. It is unlocked by the key. We all search the chest, looking for a way to disable the trap. There are two hidden panels on either side of the chest. 5“ x 5” squares of traps. Tatrin finds them then casts Find Traps while Thorgard removes the panels. Hidden inside is a disk with a center thing to grip on.

Thorgard and Jacob will both rotate counter clockwise simultaneously, but they turn clockwise. Its like turning a heavy weight. They hear two click noises. No longer detect a trap. Jacob opens the chest..

Inside the lid are a bunch of charm things hanging with red and maroon colored balls of potpouri. Hanging inside the chest. They recede into the top of the chest.
