Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
As the Ogres approach the party begins to scramble into action. Both Shiny and Natalia let loose bolts from their crossbows managing to strike home on the massive Ogre. Miriam calls on Saint. Cuthbert to protect Kurt from evil enhancing the now Divine Juggernaut.
Mithril casts a quick spell before making sure that her light crossbow is loading, preparing to loose a bolt at her first opportunity.
Valen moves off, faster than most people could on foot as he now stands out in front of the two furthest Ogres, seemingly taunting them to attack him over the rest of the party, <Draconic>"Filthy Stupid Idiots!"<Draconic> Valen bellows, seemingly unafraid.
Spoiler
Kurt is delaying a defensive strike.
I let Shiny shoot before moving, it depends on where he was if the Ogre would have cover, if no only partial and Shiny should have hit anyway.
Good threat Natalia! Every little bit helps.
Miriam buffed Kurt even more, should be long enough to handle the first Ogres.
Mithril cast one of her few remaining spells to protect herself, hoping it didn't have to be used. Why, why, why... Everything was going so well. I don't want to die, not here not now Hands shaking, she turned to the her last resort, pulling out her crossbow and praying as she loaded it. Boccob, I have so much to learn yet. Don't let me end here. I still owe you my journey, my stories.
Natalia places the two flasks of alchemists' fire and the tanglefoot bag in Mithril's trembling hands and says, "Fire jugs, sticky goo. If you need it."
Her hands linger on Mithril's a bit longer than is strictly necessary.
With their range the Ogres do little but advance, being careful not to expose themselves as the move forward. The trees and forest making it impossible for them to charge...
By the way, since I didn't get to specify because Zman ran my action for me. I wanted to share Mage Armor with Whiskers, is that okay?
Mithril twitched and her bolt spun off into the ogre. When she saw the small spurt of blood she grimaced. It didn't look like the bolt had done much damage. She quickly reloaded her crossbow and prepared to shoot again.
Shiny looks over the violent tableau, his keen eyes running through options. The dual-wielding beast is too big and beefy to put to sleep, but he might just be able to stun it for a moment...
He dashes over past Natalia, splays out his palm, and unleashes a rainbow of colors over the ogre leader.
Spoiler
Casting color spray so it hits OL. If it works, he'll be stunned for a round, have a total of -4 to AC (Unsettling Enchantment!), and will be flat-footed, making this the perfect chance for a full round pair of sneak attacks from Natalia, while also stopping him from killing any of us with that pair of deadly weapons.
I do not know his will save but will pretend it is +1, ZMan can add to it as necessary:
Shiny steps out and whips up his hand in a scintilating spray of colors, the Ogre Brute reels, unable to shield its eyes with its two maces as Kurt's axe strikes home.
The two Ogres chasing Valen close in, the closes dropping his Javelin in favor of his greatclub to bash in the quick Human's skull... The other keeps his Javelins at the ready as he has yet to close the gap, but covers the route back to his allies...
Another Ogre steps past its stunned leader pulling out its huge club and attempts to pancake Shiny....
Spoiler
Attack! vs Shiny AC21 (d20+9)[16](+9, the SRD doesn't include their Weapon Focus, I've been underplaying Ogres this whole time by a +1)
Damage(2d8+7)[16]
Kurt grins as the weapons drop from the Ogre's hand and brings his axe up in a wicked arc.
Spoiler
power attack: -1 +2 (1d20+8)[18] Attack (1d20+8)[15] Crit (3d6+9)[17] Damage
He manages to drive the edge in under the Ogre's armour and thick hide, pushing it deep into the beast's gut before it almost sticks and he has to withdraw it.

Valen. Darts back down the road attempting to evade the swings of the Ogres as he leaves them in the dust.... But is impaled completely through the leg by a javelin as he runs by barely staying on his feet.
Spoiler
Run to Z15 Can someone please move him with 70' of movement to spare!
(Assuming that Shiny hit the other nearby ogre with a color spray; if not I'll probably revise this if that's allowed. Natalia's not going to attack the ogre in melee if the color spray misses)
Natalia runs forward and strikes the other ogre with her shortsword.
Mithril took a step forward while she lifted her crossbow and shot once more.
Spoiler
Attack (1d20+5)[19] remembered bless this time
Crit (1d20+5)[22]
Damage (1d8)[5]
5 foot step to AF 17
The bolt flew true, striking the ogre straight in the arm. Mithril did not spend anytime cheering, instead reloading her crossbow as fast as she could.
After narrowly dodging the ogre's club, Shiny hops right into the fray. He takes a step into the middle of the two ogres, and begins to work his magic.
Spoiler
Attempt to cast defensively to avoid O1's AoO: (1d20+8)[23]
His spell having succeeded, but hoping to save his last spell for the most effective moment, Shiny loads his crossbow, aims it at the closer oncoming ogre, and fires.
