== Trapped ==
 
 
 
We went up to the side door. As there had been a lot of traps in the
 
woods surrounding this place I looked for traps on the door. I thought
 
about how stupid those inbred half-ogres was putting traps everywhere
 
when Gloriana told me in my head to keep those thoughts to myself. Oups.
 
I'm not really used to that telepathy thing yet. I was sure there were
 
no traps on the door and we opened it. There was a kitchen inside, but
 
Velicia who entered it soon looked as sick as I felt from just standing
 
outside. There was a stench from old rotten flesh that was at least as
 
bad as Aldern's cave under the Foxglove manor. I remembered that I had
 
promised myself to buy perfume, but haven't yet. We left and headed for
 
the other door. As the kitchen door hadn't been trapped I wasn't up
 
front to check for traps, but luckily I noted some strange contraptions
 
on the porch before Velicia who was at the door had time to open it.
 
There was a trap making scythe blades swing down from above if the door
 
was opened without disabling the trap first, so I did. We entered a room
 
with an awful couch made from body parts. There was still a stench but
 
not as bad as in the kitchen. Suddenly Dorothea fell through the floor.
 
It turned out that there was a trapdoor in the floor in front of the
 
couch. There were sharp spikes at the bottom but Dorothea seemed to
 
handle it well and teleported up from there.
 
 
 
[[Image:Runelords-Nell-SneakAttack.jpg|left|thumb|Nell attacks a half-ogre.]]
 
I got a closer look at the door before we open it and that too was
 
trapped. I thought I dismantled it but a swinging scythe missed Velicia
 
when she opened the door to a corridor and we continued into a dining
 
room that had human head on the table. Through another trapped door was
 
a nursery. There were lots of grotesque things in there and drawings on
 
the wall of a devil throwing children from a cliff and a monster with
 
tentacles in a lake. There were also two "children". They were larger
 
than me and the one I saw best had deformed legs and was playing with
 
sculls. I threw my dagger from the dining room hitting it in the neck.
 
The other ogre laughed and said:<br>
 
"Ha, ha. You got a dagger in your neck."<br>
 
The others charged into the room, but the one I attacked ran out to me
 
and shut the door. I made a riposte that I learned recently. The door
 
was opened and I got back to the others. We killed the young half-ogres
 
but I felt guilty afterwards. They thought we were playing, but the game
 
killed them. Perhaps my own childhood is part of the reason for my
 
feelings. Usually I don't feel for monsters such as these.

We took a short pause while Honeypot performed some cleansing rituals on
 
Gloriana and Dorothea. I regained my strength and collected my thoughts.
 
Next we looked through a bedroom and a storage room that had been used
 
as a toilet too. While Gloriana, who was magically protected from filth
 
hesitated to search the last room Velicia used her magehand. The last
 
room was a really grotesque room with several corpses, body parts and
 
flesh. In that dimly lit, awfully smelly room was also an incredibly fat
 
female half-ogre that could hardly move at all. When we attacked it,
 
three of the dead bodies started moving. It was half-ogres that probably
 
was its own offspring that was animated using some evil magic. The fight
 
that followed was initially fierce but soon we had destroyed the zombies
 
and it turned into a fight against the fat half-ogre. Its fat often
 
protected her making my daggers bounce, but in the end we killed it.
 
Shalelu was heavily wounded and retreated mid fight.
 
 
 
We had looked through all rooms on the first floor except the kitchen
 
and found two stairs leading up and down. As the one to the cellar was
 
through the kitchen we went up first. Velicia who was first as usual
 
opened a door where we found a workshop for making traps. Dorothea
 
and I entered carefully not to set off any traps. After a quick look
 
around we found four flasks containing acid. We took two each and
 
continued to the next room. It was a bedroom that contained apart from
 
filthy beds and disgusting half-ogre stuff a small cedar chest. Gloriana
 
opened it with a magic hand and a trap tried to cut it. The chest
 
contained some valuables like coins but there were icky teeth mixed in.
 
 
 
We continued down stairs to the cellar through the kitchen. I got
 
all groggy from the awful stench. I can't understand how they could
 
stand it. I closed the door to the kitchen behind me and started feeling
 
better when Velicia opened a door below. Gloriana stormed into the room
 
and told us using the telepathy that there were a half-ogre with an
 
extra head in the back, a broken jaw and bad legs, also rats hiding in
 
the corners. I threw my dagger into the big half-ogre and looked around.
 
I noted that there were rats in a nearby room, under the stairs and even
 
in the walls. The rats were really big, almost as big as me but we
 
killed them and even the half-ogre was killed at last. During the fight
 
Gloriana summoned a storm that completely surrounded me and hurt rats
 
all around me but I stood in the eye of the storm and was unhurt. It was
 
a very strange experience.
 
 
 
In the cellar were one room for dismembering bodies with half made
 
chairs of flesh and bones, a gory bedroom, a room with farming equipment
 
and a wide corridor to a room with a mossy floor with a lot of fungus
 
and the remains of a half-ogre with roots and vines growing through it
 
looking like tentacles protruding. I screamed "Vorels curse!" using the
 
telepathy but Honeypot calmed me and said that it was the result of a
 
fey curse. It was the worst thing they could do to anyone so somebody
 
had done something very bad to a fey. She also said that whatever the
 
half-ogre had done it deserved to be kept like that and not killed. We
 
thought of leaving when we saw a door on an opposite wall. We made a
 
plan. Honeypot played soothing music to distract the creature while I
 
sneaked in and hopefully freed the prisoners. It worked very well except
 
that there were no prisoners.<br>
 
I thought "Yippee! A treasure chest." before adding "Oups, I mean, Oh no, No prisoners."<br>
 
It contained several beautiful jewelry items, a dress and some magical
 
items apart from the dress. There were also a boring elven bow. I
 
brought it as Shalelu might want it. Honeypot was still playing so I
 
could sneak out without the creature ever knowing I stole all the
 
treasure.

Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter

The rain got worse and we got ready to continue on to Fort Rannick when Honeypot said
"The bear want to go into the woods."
"Then let it. We're in a hurry if we want to get to Fort Rannick before nightfall." I answered.
"It's well kept, better than any wild bear would be." Honeypot said.
"It's probably the companion to one of the rangers from the fort. It might be looking for it's master." Velicia suggested.
"Yeah, yeah." I said pulling the reins over Creampuffs head to lead him into the woods instead of riding on.

Walking through the dense forest we noted several simple traps that was easily avoided. We reached a small clearing from which we could glimpse a farm up ahead. Honeypot cast her telepathy ritual so we could talk without being heard and hear each other over the rain and distance. We left the horses and slowly continued through the wood toward the farm. Gloriana and Velicia stayed a little behind, but we others continued to the edge of the trees to get a good look at the farm. Peeking through the heavy rain we saw two deformed half-ogres with too many fingers working the field in front of a really big barn and an equally oversized house. Honeypot and I sneaked around to the barn through the very dense forest and found even more traps along the way. When we got there we tried to peek through the slits, but the wall was covered on the inside by something that I thought looked like simple tapestries, but that's strange to have in a barn. Honeypot said that she thought it was cob web.

We told the others and continued on to the house. The main door was facing the field and there was a side door also visible from the ogres that we could see. We sneaked around again to get a better look at the back of the house. Honeypot almost walked into one of the traps but saw it at the last moment and we got there without any further trouble. There were no doors on the back side of the house, but it had windows. They were blocked and I sneaked up to one to try to get a peek inside. There were planks nailed sparsely over the window and instead of glass was a tense skin. I tried to cut through it to see in but it had a curtain too.

Half-ogre in front of farm.

We decided that to get into the house we had to go in through one of the doors and then we had to get rid of the half-ogres in front of it. I and Honeypot sneaked up as far as we dared and waited for the others to get into place. Gloriana started by attacking one of them with her lighting magic and Honeypot and I stormed right out into the field. A big fight followed where the poor bear got attacked by two really large snakes coming out of the woods from behind. We killed the half-ogres and scared off the snakes. I got worried for Creampuff. If the snakes couldn't get a bite out of the bear they might attack the horses. We brought them to the farm and left them in front of the house together with the bear as we entered the house.
