He raised his club higher, threatening, and suddenly the
dwarf darted under it. Loam roared as the creature's
hammer cracked against his kneecap.
Chane ducked between the ogre's legs, whirled
around, and went between again as the monster turned,
getting in another blow at the same kneecap. The ogre's
roar was deafening. Chess darted past, swatting the ogre
across the knuckles with the heavy end of his hoopak
and chattering at the top of his lungs, hurling taunts and
insults that fairly summarized the misbegotten nature of
ogredom.
A tide of goblins had started to flow up the bridge, but
they now hesitated. Beyond the bridge spires a blood-
chilling howl sounded, and goblins scattered in panic as
Wingover charged among them, shield pummeling,
sword flashing. A few goblins at the foot of the bridge
turned and tried to form a defense, but were cut down by
Jilian in full spin.
At the ogre's feet, Chane managed one more solid
blow with his hammer, this time at Loam's midriff. The
dwarf was then knocked flat by the massive club. He lay
stunned, trying to breathe, and Loam stepped to him. Ig-
noring the kender's prodding hoopak, the ogre raised his
club to crush the dwarf.
Chess flailed at the ogre's back, then blinked as some-
thing fell across his arm
