Battle at the Temple of Savaras

by Hero of Gnomenguaard Tempest Vedimere

When we arrived at the temple, the grounds were infested with orcs and two ogres. We attempted to sneak into the grounds to get a more defensible position, but were spotted by an Ogre. After he yelled to alert the others, the ogre charged toward us. Ryu moved forward to intercept him and attacked with his hand axe and scimitar, hitting the ogre both times. As that was happening I attacked three of 5 orcs that would come up behind us if not taken care of. I hit 3 orcs with a spell, and while I did not kill them, I did injure all three. Fenestrae shot one of the other orcs, injuring it and Pete was able to finish that one off with a well placed arrow. Arget moved forward to attack the ogre, hitting it. Three orcs moved forward one being able to attack me. The first ogre attacked Ryu, injuring him greatly. The second ogre begins moving forward to attack Arget. Don-Jon was able to attack an orc, injuring it. Due to his wounds, Ryu, retreated behind the cleric as I cast another spell, killing the three orcs who moved toward me. Fenestrae shot at an orc, killing it and Pete fired his bow at the ogre fighting Ryu. Arget attacked the ogre with two spells, injuring it both times. After the orcs and ogres attack, Don-jon was able to hit the ogre twice wit his sling, Ryu used his breathe weapon on the ogrs while I used my scorching ray spell on both ogresPete shoots his ogre again, as Fenestrae moves closer. Arget attacks the ogre and is able to kill it. At this point we noticed more orcs moving into position to attack. One of the orcs was able to hit Arget while Don-Jon hits an orc with his sling. Ryu then moved to me to use a healing potion and I used my scorching ray on three of the new orcs. Pete shot one of the orcs I hit and was able to kill it and Fenestrae continues to move forward. Afget used spells to good advantage, one against the remaining ogre, and his spiritual weapon on an orc. At this point I remember Ryu being attacked by an orc, as I was also being attaked. At this point all I remember is struggling against a pulling sensation, urging me to allow it to take me deeper into a darkness. While the darkness did not scare me, somehow I "knew" I was not supposed to enter it. moments later (it seemed like moments) I opened my eyes to see Fenestrae kneeling over me, a soft glow encompassing her hands. The battle still raged, and as I got my bearings I could see Arget attacking two orcs, and yelling to the party not to attack the ogre. Three orcs attacked Arget, missing him and Don-Jon used his knife to good effect against an orc. Ryu changed his form to a creature called an Axbeak, while I used my firebolt spell against an orc. Pete begins moving out of the tower he was in and Fenestrae attacks the same orc as I did. Arget attacks two orcs again, killing them both. The final orc attacked Arget and missed, and then started to run away. Don-Jon attacked him and missed. After the orc and apparently the Ogre retreated, Arget cast a healing prayer on the group and then began searching the dead bodies. He found some silver coins, and the party ested for a short time. The group then moved to search the temple. During the search we discovered a bell in the belfry. We were unable to reach the bell to investigate and then we found the alter room. As I inspected the alter, a vision came over me. The vision led me down a road and into the mountains, known as the IceSpire Peaks. In the mountains I was taken to a fortress, where I found a white dragon sleeping on the roof of a building. It was then I was returned to my body. I informed my companions of the vision I had and discovered a hidden cache under the alter that contained some gold and a mysterious looking key. Once we ensured the building was empty we decided to camp and rest for the night to regain our health and spells.
