    "What...do you...want dead?" Natalia asks, still unconvinced that she's not under some sort of magical compulsion.

    Valen sits atop his steed, looking at the Ogres in the distence. He crosses his arms and mutters in Draconic as he renews his arcane protections which he continues strengthening them to their fullest.

    He answers Miriam cooly while returning the smile of the Dwarf, "Make the dwarf bigger, I've heard enough about their small stature..."

    Natalia swallows and says, "...Group aiming first, then...Big dwarf...Heh, big dwarf." But that doesn't do much to dispel her nervousness. Turning to Valen and Kurt, she asks, "Retreat if dangerous? So many..."

    Miriam looks at Valen and Kurt. "I could make myself big and help you flank them and give them a target to hit ..... and send them to the hell where they belong.'

    There is no sign of worry or sense of danger in her eyes.

    "And the smashing?" Natalia asks, remembering the sickening crunch of their bones.

    Miriam's so...so full of hate. What's going to happen after the ogres are dead? Who will she turn on next?

    Mithril shifted nervously "Do you want me to send a spell their way? While you enlarge Kurt that is. I mean it will still take them some time to reach us and the spell will hit." She tried not to look Miriam in the eye. The woman seemed almost hysterical with hate and Mithril did not want to direct the anger toward herself.

    Kurt slides off his horse, nodding at Valen and Miriam. "We all aim at the big mean one, shoot and then you can make me big, Miriam. I'll take the hits." He plants his axe in the earth before him, taking aim then. "If it's to be done, we'd better do it now, before they see us."

    Kurt grins a little then, as he sees one of the Ogres spot them.

    "Too late to turn back." With that, he shoots the first bolt from his crossbow, aiming at the big ugly looking one, quickly leaning over to reload then.

    Edit: Sigh, and it would have hit for max damage AND had a chance for critical if only attack and crit were reversed. As it is, I think it's going to miss. :( Unless flat-footedness catches them!

    Valen slips off his horse, slapping it's haunches with his Greatsword as he draws it, sending the beast to safety. He then reinforces his arcane protections as he steps forward to help stem the oncoming tide.

    Of course it missed. Why should she have expected anything else? Natalia gets off the horse and draws her weapons, though she keeps it close for when they inevitably have to run for their lives. Assuming they aren't killed first.

    The bolt flops off of Shiny's crossbow in a pathetic misfire, and lands two feet on the ground in front of him.

    Shiny puts his hand above his eyes as shade. "Did I hit 'em?"

    Ogres

    The horde of Ogres advance cautiously, each have drawn their huge javelins as they advance. The sheer bulk of the Ogres works against them as they are forced to move around each other to attack their smaller foes. Though that same bulk and size is what gives them a deadly reach.

    Spoiler
    Show
    They have all double moved. Remember the reach of the Ogres.

    The Leader has his Club already out, the other four have their Javelins as they could not capitalize on the same speed as their leader and plan on throwing their ranged weapon before drawing their massive clubs.

    At least Kurt gets to fight on equal footing!

    The massive brute falls for the now large Dwarf's taunts, their natural hatred coming through as he drops his javeling and pulls out his massive greatclub as he charges the readied Dwarf.... As the Giant nears Kurts axe hits true, catching the Giant just above the knee as even enlarged, the Dwarf is barely taller than an average man.

    Mithril slightly cursed the fact the ogre leader had gone down so fast. She hadn't been able to see the full effects of her spell. Then she remembered what they where facing and hurriedly sent off another bolt at the farthest ogre. Maybe this time she would see what the text had meant by "lingering effects".

    Casts at Ogre 4 (within range)
    Attack (1d20+3)[10] vs AC 8
    Damage (2d4)[6]

    next turn 2d4 more damage done to ogre 4 (if this hits)


    Her hand shook as she sent the bolt off and it wobbled a little in it's path, almost veering off. But the bolt managed to right itself and to Mithril's relief it sped into the side of the ogre in the back of the group.

    Ogres

    Two of the Ogres throw their Javelins, one at Kurt, the other at Miriam before moving up at drawing their great clubs, preparing for a devastating charge... one inbeds itself at Miriam's feet, but the other hits Kurts enlarged form right through the guts inflicting an impressive amount of damage as the point of the javelin can be seen protruding from his behind his floating ribs, a deep scarlet begins to stream to the ground...

    The third moves up, smacking the sleeping Ogre in the head and waking him as he draws his own club opting to wake his unconscious brethren instead of throwing his Javelin...

    The Sleeping Ogre wakes in time to stand up and throw a javelin at Shiny in response to his arcane gestures... but thinks surprisingly clearly as he instead whips it at the naked Valen... but Valen is nimble enough on his feet to avoid the blow the javeling glancing off of the arcane protections around him harmlessly...

    Natalia gasps as the javelin pieces Kurt nearly a foot deep. Frantically, she looks towards Miriam, wondering if the shadow over her has descended too far to help Kurt...

    She also calculates to see if she can reach one of the ogres in melee in the next couple of seconds.

    As the ogres come closer, Natalia reloads her crossbow and shoots at the nearest one, hoping to soften them up slightly so Kurt and Valen can go in for the kill. There's still a bit too far away and a bit too large for Natalia to want to take them on without any magical enhancement like Miriam gave to the two barbarians.

    Yes! It hit the first ogre because of Unsettling Enchantment, which combined with the +4 AC from cover makes the ogre's AC 18.


    The bolt shoots past Kurt and cuts deeply into the first ogre's face.
