Viktor asks Joshua for a Detect Evil and then executes all of the evil githyanki (all of them), ogres (all of them), orogs and orcs (most of them), in that order while the rest of the party loots and Gilgamesh begs for a Cure Light.
With the bear effectively making a distraction to cover them, the party heads toward the ogress' tent, past the hags tent. En route, the group winds up battling quite a number of orcs, orogs, and a series of trolls.
Joshua's steady turning prevented skeletons from reinforcing the slavers, but it also created a log-jam for the lesser orcs, unable to push through the fleeing undead. After watching all of the more powerful fighters quickly vanquished, the orcs and orogs do not immediately join the combat. That's when Viktor steps forward.
The half-orc "boy who has never tasted of man nor known woman" challenged their leader to a battle in the buff. He accepted and landed the first punch, which Viktor shrugged off. He then proceeded to crack the chieftan's rib cage with his first blow, stagger him with his second, and crush his skull, like mellon. The orcs that didn't name Viktor their new chieftan fled into the night...
In the ogresses' tent, Joshua and Lohaheel found and rescued four infants after battling a number of ogress matrons. Entering the tent, they could only see one, holding a child. Joshua hacked her down one; the child thankfully fell to the ground unhurt. Lohaheel, however, was nearly slain by two other "wet nurses." The cleric had to rescue the shaman, while most of the ogresses fled. The healers recovered two Flan boys, a elven girl, and a strange "Polynesian" boy with vivid purple eyes. Lohaheel can see the life auras of the victims -- six of them are "special souls" -- boy of the baby Flan boys, the green haired pre-teen, the Flan hobbit "Brandy", the kobold, and Bloodhammer
At the same time, Scout and Gilgamesh turned to the hag's tent, where they entered to find yet another troll, a shadow, and the hag herself. The troll drained Scout and the troll badly wounded Gilgamesh, who was forced to flee, using his leaping ability to stay ahead of the monster. The hag tried a few spells, but none worked on the intelligent animals attacking her (ha!). Scout finished the troll quickly and then broke her leg before finishing her with the tiger's assist. Within her tent was a trove of potions as well as a spell book, The Book of Shadows...(cue omnious music)
The next day (cuz I'm nice and you didn't specify), Joshua agrees to read the scrolls "because Black Robe will be right there to cast Remove Curse." The first scroll is a Friendship Curse. Joshua looks to Viktor and Scout. Scout looked to Gilgamesh. Viktor looked to Gilgamesh. And all four DISAPPEARED.
