<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Fourway Town Square</span></span><br/><br/>The village square was quickly evacuated by those unwilling or unable to fight.  Those that remained scrambled to protect what they could and defend the village.  Mothers gathered their children and hid out of sight, men grabbed anything that could be used as a weapon, and the ogres pillaged.  Two ogres retreated into the woods.  One had a woman and a young boy, one person under each arm.  The other had a goat and a bag of onions in its custody.<br/><br/>Berash’s arrow struck the ogre carrying Ardin right in the middle of its left butt cheek, the arrow came very very close to hitting Ardin, who was tucked under the ogre’s arm and beating wildly at the brute with no effect.  Dashing to the woods at a reckless speed, the ogre was only slightly slowed by the arrow poking out of its hind end.  Deborah and Nuri were gaining ground on the slow and even now slower ogre.  But it would still be a race to the treeline and the darkness of the forest.<br/><br/>The ogre that was bit by the dwarf was about to smash a helpless child to mush when Mayor Hansbrough’s spell went off.  Freezing in mid-strike, the ogre’s hands were clasped above his head and swinging down, it found itself unable to move due to a hold monster spell.  Ruy seeing the immediate danger the child was in, and not registering that the ogre was frozen, shot an arrow into the belly of the monster.  He was relieved to see the mayor rush to the little girl and scoop her up.  With the kid in one arm, the mayor began to chant his next spell.<br/><br/>The ogre with the glowing head and two arrows sticking out of him saw Maeve and Halfdan close near.    The man with the battle axe appeared to be the bigger threat, the ogre shoved the cart into the man with the axe causing the cart to crash into pieces and effectively stopping the axe from causing any damage to him.  Turning his attention to the silver haired girl, thinking she would be easy prey, the ogre found three stones sailing through the air directly at him.  Such a big target was easy to hit, two of the stones hit him in the face, the third finding its target on his chest.  The ogre cried out in pain and brought its hands to its face instinctively.  (for the next round attacks to this ogre are at +5 to hit since he covered his eyes)<br/><br/>Finding itself unable to carry any more, the ogre that was raiding the store of Deborah’s family departed, dropping a few items on its way to the forest.<br/><br/>The second ogre that was caught in the Fairy Fire was surrounded by a dozen villagers armed with pitchforks and cudgels, one or two of them even had swords.  The ogre was outmanned and proved to be no match.  One of the villagers fell when the ogre rushed to try and break out of the encircling villagers, but the ogre was quickly killed by the others.<br/><br/>Maeve's mother screamed in terror as an ogre found her cart and gave in to the temptation.  The ogre uncontrollably began to stuff its face with the delicious strawberry shortcakes the cart had to offer.  Growling at Maeve's mother, the ogre showed its stained teeth, red strawberries looked like blood and gore in the ogre's mouth adding to the poor woman's panic.  A shrill scream escaped as the woman was frozen with fear.
