"What happened here" Bianica yells as she sees a wagon tipped over, a woman lying unconscious on the ground beside the wagon as if she had fallen from it, a man lying on the ground a little ways off with lots of chop and hack marks in him for he is apparently dead from the two ogres scourging the tipped over wagon. The one ogre who had grabbed the kids was standing beside them with a wicked smile on his face for he was still holding the kids. The biggest ogre who towered over the others was holding a wand and was supervising the situation. "Uhh, what's all dies here" the lead ogre says as the other three looked at Bianica in surprise. "Kill'em quick and get back here" the ogre yells at the two going through the wagon. the one ogre who didn't get to charge in but still gets a top seat holding the children grunts to himself "dis aout to be good he he."

Bianica raises her staff and cries Hidet Hidey Hidef as a great fireball launches from her wand the ogre dodges to the side but so does the fireball and when the ogre gets hit he is knocked back to the ground, but yet as he was getting up an ax comes slamming in to his chest as the blood sprays from the wound a different ax comes slamming down on his face flat side. Jadef decided to have a little fun for he took his ax out of his pack along with his backup ax and cut the first ogre up good.

Kedar pulls an arrow out of his quiver and knocks it aiming at the second charging ogre

"Mmm, where to hurt you first" the human decides the knee just as an arrow flies through the air and lands embedded in a ogre's knee cap, oh how that ogre screamed in pain as Kedar put another arrow through the ogre's right bicep, that is until it was decapitated by a flying scimitar which after cutting off the ogre's head kept going until its hilt bounced off the side of the wagon and slide back into the Kinst's hand correctly "pretty fancy move eh Dert' " Jadef cried after cutting off the head of his own victim without looking.

"Surrender you two or die" Kedar yelled at the two remaining ogres bow drawn "NO" the lead ogre yelled back at him raising his wand and crying "HIG NID DER" a odd mist begins to rise around the middle of the road just as an arrow shot the wand out of the ogre's enormous hand shattering the crystal embedded in it as it hits the ground, but the arrow didn't stop until it landed in the ogre's stomach just as two more are fired one landing in the stomach again but the other hitting the head. The odd ogre mage leans against a tree on its fall to the ground and its death. "You have one more chance to surrender or you'll end up like him who didn't even get to finish summoning his creature, he." The ogre thought long and hard about this but in the end he surrendered dropping the two kids. Then the eight set off again for Yalod and as it turned out once they revived the woman who turned out to be the kid’s adoptive mother that they were traveling to Yalod when they got attacked.
