Alzar moves into the pathway and casts sleep. More sling stones fire at him, and one hits for 3 damage. 6 orcs have fallen asleep. Alzar orders the slave “army” in from over here. Suddenly, more than 20 slaves in armor charge into the room With the orc numbers beginning at 27 and now reduced to 16, another morale check is called for. They again make it, bolstered by their chief and the TWO ogres here.

13/51

With most of the attention towards the army, Alzar casts his final sleep spell and 5 more collapse. Just 11 left.

The sling stones rattle off some armor, and Alzar is hit once more. The two ogres are smarter and more battle hardy and they charge Alzar. Weapons fire is exchanged as crossbows and slings exchange missiles. Aleigha and Estaish charge in, with the ex-slave warrior, and cut down two orcs. A Mist Ball hits an ogre running in. It fails its save and stumbles, taking 4 damage and blinded for 3 turns. Alzar casts Vampiric Touch on the other one as soon as it arrives. It takes 10.

23/51

The ogre swings at Alzar and crits him with a big giant axe. Alzar takes 14 damage. Megala flits in and hits the blind ogre for 3 damage. It makes the save.

9/51

Alzar retreats and orders Dryshik to Wall of Fog the area to the orc camp, so they won’t see him damaged and fleeing.

The orcs fail their morale, and with nowhere to flee, they throw down their weapons. They are bound and their items removed.

Megala hits the ogre again for 1 damage and it falls asleep.

Alzar is against this ogre by himself, with just these spells left – Charm Person – won’t work on ogres, Empathic Control, and Blastbones.

Alzar tries Empathic Control on the ogre. It fails the save. Alzar orders the ogre into and through the Wall of Fog and into the room. The controlled ogre in bound the sleeping one is killed When the slaves are sure that ogre is super bound, Alzar releases it. It’s very pissed

XP – 250 for Estaish and Aleigha, 1000 for Alzar.

None of the slaves died, but one was wounded badly, and is currently stable. The room is searched thoroughly.

240 gold from orcs
1200 copper
Gems – 5000 gp, 2000 gp, 5 gp, 50 gp
3 Daggers, coated with dried smears of Orcish poison
