July 25, 2017 | Leave a comment The heroes are caught off guard and remain on the defensive as the ogres press their assault! Both teams appear to be evenly matched, with Melora facing off against the ogre mage, while Regnak and Lorec tackle the remaining two opponents! The skill and tenacity of the adventurers is on full display in this battle, as each one of them holds nothing back! Spells fly through the air alongside Lorec’s arrows, matching the ferocity of their adversaries! The dwarf is impressed despite himself, though he notices Areya is missing after he dodges through the legs of his surprised foe! Instead of joining her comrades, Areya wisely decides to rescue the tiny golden statue that was once her friend Joren. The elven cleric spirits the statue away from the brawl and begins to beseech her patron deity to break the curse and restore the young monk! It seems, however, that the curse which has transformed Joren cannot be broken by the young priestess… Though the battle rages on nearby, an inner peace fills Areya as she humbles herself and prays for the divine guidance she requires.
