Heroes: Jenner the Druid, Gilgamesh the Tiger, Uffe the Metamorph, Naesalla the Clerical Mage, Starglow the Mage, Draegor the Archer, and Uck the Ranger
Jenner and Gilgamesh return to the dungeon will backup to rescue any that may be alive from the last incursion into this stronghold. There is no one guarding the entrance this time and so the heroes enter the dungeon. They are greeted with a flurry of small crossbow darts that somehow all miss. Someone asks "Drow?" and Naesala gets excited, only to be disappointed when they find out it is just some orcs. Some of the orcs charge Draegor and Gilgamesh as the rest continue shooting. It does them no good though as Naesala and Starglow put them all to sleep. The party kills them where they sleep and Naesala asks Gilgamesh where the ogres came from that attacked the party and where the giant came from. Gilgamesh point to the corridor leading west for the ogres and the door to the south for the giant. Before opening the door however, Uffe changes into an orc and holds the torch for the party. Deciding that taking out the giant first is the best option, they open the door. They are greeted with a one-eyed and deformed hill giant with two carnivorous apes. He sends the apes out to attack. Gilgamesh dominates the gorillas, causing them to hesitate. Infuriated, the hill giant charges out and hurts Uck with his meaty paw. It is at this time that a squad of 12 orogs comes through the door to the west. Uffe runs up to them and yells that the boss is gonna handle it. THe orogs become confused, arguing with Uffe that the boss is who sent them and who is he. This delays their action as Starglow casts sleep again and catches two of them. THinking the orc is just weak, they tell him they will protect him and to stay back as they charge in. Gilgamesh is stunned by the giant which causes the gorillas to attack Uck. The giant is brought down with arrows from Naesala and Draegor, but Naesala is cut down by the orogs. Unbelievably, the orogs are killed when a new squad of 12 come in, wake up the two that were put to sleep, and begin to argue with Uffe in orc form that the boss told them to kill everyone while he insists the boss has this one handled. They eventually push past the orc and start attacking the rest of the heroes. Unfortunately, this really hurts the party and several members go down. Once the fighting starts to die down, another hill giant walks down from the eastern corridor. To buy time, Starglow casts web in the room the orogs keep coming from, blocking another group from entering. THe party hurts the hill giant a lot and causes him to run away back down the corridor. The party heals up, bringing down several members that were hurt. The party attempted to recover a bit when the giant that ran away comes back with two more giants. Gilgamesh pounces on the first one and kills him in a flurry of blows. This causes the next one to hesitate and the injured one charges forward. He is then killed by Gilgamesh's teeth and claws and Naesala's arrows. The last one charges forward and is softened by Gilgamesh. Uffe runs up claiming he wants to help the giant by striking Gilgamesh. He "accidentally" misses the tiger and clobbers the giant with his staff. He does it again and the giant runs off back down the corridor. Gilgamesh and Uffe take chase and find the giant desperately trying tro don on armor and grab a weapon. He lobs a boulder, stunning Gilgamesh. Uffe has to decide how to handle the situation, but Uck saves him by charging down the hall and killing the giant. A foothold has been made into the dungeon, but the prisoners have not been found yet.
