During the town meeting, two villagers bring in a wounded girl. She tells that there were 27 prisoners. 13 ran, 4 were captured and the other 9 were headed toward the hills and this village. She saw one orc and three humans back in the ruins.
The next morning we set out towards the ruins with some villagers armed with bows and simple weapons. Along the way, we see two humanoids that were in the bushes and they have two humans tied up and are escorting them back to the ruins. We attack and kill one of the orcs and capture the other one and send the humans them back on one of the borrowed horses.
In the interrogation of the captured orc we find that there were reinforcements from the group that was still sacking the town: Borris Human with three other humans, three orcs that were sent out to catch the escaped prisoners, the Org and the Ogre, Gravel the leader, two Xorians, and maybe a couple more. The prisoners are still in the same place. There will always be at least two or three lower ranked guys in the dungeon. The xorians are under order to obey Gravel.
Ogala the orc whimpers that he was very helpful as the party heads off leaving Soris to "tie him to a tree" (kill him). Soris gets a pouch with 7 coppers.
We dismount about a mile from the ruins. Paragon goes in to scout the site. He doesn't see anything and comes back for the rest of the group. We leave Fanigun with the villagers to help cover our retreat with their bows.
As we are moving in, we see a scout on the roof of the ruins. We circle around the back of the ruins and up the stairs to get to the level he is on. Grig trips while trying to move up and the guard hears him and starts moving away from us. We move up quickly and Aruzmathel casts a Color Spray and the orc saves. Paragon moves up and grapples him and pins him. We all jump on him and stick his pinned body. We get a bow, arrows, a spy glass and a whistle from him.
We head back down and try to come in from the side entrance of the ruins and find the way blocked with lots of webs. We try to burn some of the webs and they start burning and continue to burn for a long time.
We go around the building and Paragon looks through the main door and sees three humans and two of them shoot crossbows at him. Paragon casts a spell, Aruzmathel throws one of his bombs through the door and does a little damage to two of the humans and dazes one of them. Soris runs up and pulls Aruzmathel out of the doorway, saving him from certain shots on the next round.
A skeleton appears behind one of the humans and hits him.
Aruzmathel puts on Mage Armor
Paragon summons in another skeleton
Soris move into the room and trips
Paragon does an amazing jump into the room
Aruzmathel uses an electric bolt and kills one of the humans
Soris uses burning hands and damages the orc that came into the back of combat. Grig throws some of his tools and kills the orc.
A human, org and ogre come up from the dungeon area and engage into combat, while the xorian that was with them goes around the side to attack the party from behind. The human gets taken down, and the org and ogre fight in the doorway. The org takes down Sorris (his shield saved him from a nasty blow that would have been certain death).
Aruzmathel goes and places three of his bombs in the doorway. The xorian comes around the corner and Aruzmathel launches a bomb at him and hits him dead center and blasts him back 10 feet, but it doesn't make the other three go off.
Paragon uses fear and make the ogre run.
Aruzmathel uses a two more bomb on the xorian and does more damage, but it keeps getting up.
The Org drop Grig, leaving just Paragon and Aruzmathel as the only party members couscous in the battle.
