<H2> Session Summary </H2>
<H3> Combat Continued </H3>
There appear to be a half-dozen triceratops and a couple dozen of dire hyenas. The party prepares for their arrival. As the group approaches, Borgar unleases a Lightning Bolt while Mirto unleashes an Empowered Fireball (63 hp) catching three of the riders. One of the rider/mounts is caught by surprise, but the others manage to avoid some of the brunt of the attack. Finding time for one more assault, Mirto unleases a Chain Lightning (48/21 hp) on the same three riders plus one gnoll rider.
<B>Round 1:</B> The gnolls and hyenas ride forward and close with the party. One of the ogres riding a Triceratops pulls out a sphere--it appears to be a holy symbol of Thrym, Lord of the Frost Giants. Foradun throws a blade, killing a rider. Mirto casts Cloudkill on the group of riders below him. Heimlich flies next to Thorfinn and casts Spiritual Hammer but misses. Bimblefin flies towards the ogres. Thorfinn begin's inspiring courage on the party.
<B>Round 2:</B> The ogres and triceratops charge up partway, but appear to be looking at the party flying above them. Mirto's Cloudkill kills all the riders in it's area. The ogre cleric dispels Olaf's Cloudwalk spell and he falls. The gnoll and hyena attack him, wounding him as he heals himself (25 Cure Serious vs. 25 lance charge). Bimblefin descends and does sneak attack on the ogre cleric. Mirto casts Chain Lightning (51/25) on the ogre cleric. Heimlich uses Spiritual Hammer to damage the gnoll (11 pts) and finishes it off via sword. He then attacks and kills the gnoll rider and wounds the hyena. Mylar drops to the ground and takes out the gnoll rider in front of him.
<B>Round 3:</B> Borgar steps in front of Olaf and heals him for 37 pts. Two triceratops close in on Foradun. The rider misses and the triceratops hits him for 44 pts. The other circles around on him. Two other triceratops close in on Borgar. The rider hits him for 14 and 25, The triceratops gores him for 48. Olaf casts Sanctuary on himself. Thorfinn continues to sing. Foradun attacks. The remaining troops attack the party. Some gnolls are attacking Bimblefin's halfling illusion. Mylar takes some hits from the gnollish troops. Mirto hits the ogre next to the cleric with Scorching Ray (17, 20, 11). He and his mount look really injured at this point. Bimblefin closes with the ogre cleric and hits for 15 points. Spirtual Hammer on the hyena on Olaf (for 14 pts). Heimlich pulls out Stampy and it attacks the hyena for 25 pts.
<B>Round 4:</B> Borgar does a full attack on the ogre, doing a total of 47 pts.
