A Grisly Cave holds danger for any entering
Korgrak the massive Ogre lies in the Grisly Cave of Dryford Crossing and has been terrorising the people of Dryford, especially the farmers so this quest was going to be tough due to how strong it is told he is.
The lead up to finding the cave while they explored the area, would not see too much excitement because the beetles, sporelings and wolves were just a nuisance fight each time the party battled any of them. Then they reached a strange statue with a skull keyhole which cannot be picked and the statue cannot be budge either. Maybe the cave will have a key for it.
Inside of the cave were a bunch of spiders just coming out to sting anyone that walks through their lair, but they weren't too much of a bother, mostly just a slight time waster.
"I hate spiders, they creep me out and can be dangerous if you get bitten badly" said Sagani as they moved on and found Korgrak.
This Ogre was a special one, it was really tough with how much his swing of the club could do and the party took area of effect damage, four out of six of them did anyway. A quick use of Acolyte's Radiance by Kana for the area heal to help everyone recover lost endurance as they got to bringing out the highest ranking spells and abilities like in any tough fight if they want to stand a chance at not dying.
A slam from the club down on new member The Grieving Mother took half of her endurance. "That really hurts, you shall pay for that" she said before healing with second wind and Hiravias interrupted TheGoliath with Boiling Spray as he was also just in the area of effect. After a continued battle though and a lot of back and forth, finally they took Korgrak down and got his head!
But Korgrak wasn't the only nasty thing in this cave... of course it had to be a Spider Queen which explains why there were so many spiders everywhere.
"Let us kill all these pests and be done with this place" announced TheGoliath as he cast his poisonous cloud to damage the spider while Hiravias cast Hail Storm, both combined dealing nice damage.
Shortly after those casts did all the spiders crumble, including the queen, allowing the party to head out and grab the skull key for later for the statue that needed it. But it was off to Cliaban Rilag to see what all the commotion is about there, for which they got sent to the place.
As they reached the Cliaban Rilag ruins they noticed some people standing guard in wait of others to come.
"The Three-Tusk Stelgaer aren't hunting anyone else right now, so you best be on your way and leave the group to us" announced Sleafhota as the conversation continued on for a few more minutes.
"Let us pass, for we have no quarrel with you and can get the group out for you" said TheGoliath before being warned one last time to not come any closer, prompting the party to get TheGoliath to back away and they move on for now. A great time for a rest after the Grisly Cave.
