Hokusai's Last Stand

Ilk has returned from the dead and the party is back on track.

On the way to Three Corners the party is approached one night by a quartet of Gnomes. They inform the group that Three Corners has been overrun by a tribe of Ogres. They ask the party for help.

After some discussion, the party agrees to help. After all, it is the right thing to do and there is a letter from the “other” Lorekeeper in the Public Hall in Three Corners. And the party needs that letter for its mission.

The party entered the underground city of Three Corners and was overrun by Ogres. Hokusai fell early on but was brought back by one of the clerics. Close to death he backed away. But when he noticed another wave coming at the group from the rear, towards Aeolric, Hokusai went to do whatever he could. Hokusai decided that if he fought defensively he could avoid the Ogres’ blows and draw their attention while the rest of the party shot at the ogres from a safe distance.

This technique seemed to work till another wave arrived – this time with a clearly leader type followed by two other Ogres. Hokusai again went to face the leader – he felt confident his strategy would work since his skills had been boosted by spells cast by the clerics.

However the Ogre leader was more than Hokusai could handle and he hit Hokusai with two hard blows. Suddenly Hokusai felt a floating sensation and it seemed like he was looking down on the battle. He did not feel dead and then he saw a great, tied, hand reaching out towards him. Thank you Ilmater for allowing me to serve you.
