Immersive Ink

Franklin is agreeable to either melee or ranged combat, as the situation unfolds. He has a slight preference for missile fire (since his sling is already in his hand) but not if there is a risk of friendly fire.

Rhod stands ready to melee, should any get out.

Wiglaff orders his men to form a 2nd rank behind of spears Maloof and Rhod, outside the door. He doesn't want the enemy to burst through out into the guardian room, because that's where he is (and he's not wearing his armour).

Yarpera's snap throw misses its target, and the party quickly sets up an impenetrable barrier of Maloof and Rhod, with spearmen behind. The robed acolytes just have daggers, and one falls quickly to Rhod's blade, and two more die from the back rank spears, but they keep coming! However, their daggers fail to connect with their intended targets. The efreet finishes burning to death the high priest

The commotion draws the attention of two ogres, who approach from the west. They are only 20 feet behind the other members of the party! Rhod and Merias face three armed acolytes

Hopefully Franklin has time to fire his readied sling shot before the ogres close the distance. If not, then he will draw his magic sword Peeler and slash at the ogres' legs. The ogres are tall as giants from the little halfling's perspective!

Aldbane orders Yarpera to engage the Ogres, he'll keep back and cast a light spell, targeting the eyes of one of the Ogres.

Maloof orders the Efreet to kill the ogres, while he continues fighting the acolytes. If necessary, he will step back out of the doorway to give the Efreet room to exit.

I am going to wait for Wiglaff's input

Grampus wedges himself just behind the first row and sticks a foot in between the two and readies his battle axe to swing it into an ogres head when and if they they get in range.

I would like to hear from Wiglaff and Rhod
