On the way to investigate the fort we came across what was obviously a trained fire pelt cougar that was caught in a trap. While attempting to free the beast we were attacked by a mutated ogrekind and his dogs. We dealt with the ogre and it became clear that the cougar wanted us to follow him.

Isra'a
The cougar led us to a dilapidated farm-stead, where we were again attacked by a deformed ogre. Calum had a senior moment and opened up the barn while we were still dealing with the first foe. This sprung three more grotesque creatures. Following a brief skirmish we got to investigate the inside of the barn. It seems these creatures, the ‘Grauls’, kept a pet in here – a massive spider. Normally, I would be fine with leaving this well enough alone but it seemed that the Grauls were going to feed some prisoners to it. Unfortunately, we couldn’t spring the captives free without killing off the spider.
These three, turned out to be members of the Black Arrows – the garrison that had been ousted from Fort Rannick. Before we could question them we had to finish with the ogres. We made our way into the farmhouse, we discovered the reason for the birth defects – it seems the matriarch of the farm liked to keep the gene pool as small as possible. We happened to catch them *urp* creating a new generation? We decided to do the only thing any reasonable person would do – kill them all.


The Last of the Black Arrows

Tokki
Caught in evil's web
Those that fought in our absence
Valiant on their last breath
Isra'a
We returned outside and met the Black Arrows - Brock, Breslin and Kaven, we began to discuss strategies for investigating and hopefully retaking Fort Ranick.
