"OGRE! You have already abandoned your post, surrendered to your lady's enemies and freely become our prisoner. This is your last chance, I am confident your lady's wrath will be immense once she see's what you did; first the surrendering, then leading us here. She will torment you and kill you in ways you can't even imagine.
Last time for choosing."
(Intimidation or persuade check?) I know my CHA sucks, but it's worth one last try.
@Nimran You almost sound disappointed that no one has died yet. Should I wait until you tell me I've reached Harvey? Or should I continue?
Hahahaha! Yeah, I saw that too! I was so sure Vaga was gonna die to those pesky chimearas, but I have to admit I took a calculated risk and relied on that our dear gnome friend is a fair bit higher level and being C/M might just have a resurrection spell Though the way I created Vaga's traits, he would never flee even if death is imminent. Can't change his character, he is what he is no matter the odds. Same as Fi above!
Edit: At least I think Anduin is C/M(necro), though the mechanics is different in 3E with regards to multiclassing
"Well.. there he goes. Never seen an ogre run that fast before. OK, let's do this. If you got anything to buff me up cast it now, then I'll go in and try my luck. I am sure I can react fast enough to get out of harm's way, should the need arise. "
Vaga moves towards the door. He doesn't see any runes, so he decides to try and open it.
*Nanna Andaweena who was slowly walking away pauses. Turns. Casts bless on Vaga.*
Bless him. He doesn't give up...
[Spoiler]Although I am uber powerful and should be the help (now that Harvey and Emeril are taking a back seat) I don't actually know how to or what would be the best kind of help to give. (Hence how useless I was in the mansion) @Nimran has it covered. Pretty sure that he wouldn't kill anyone character though. That would be cruel! [/spoiler]
"Harvey! I've got it! We need to hurry before the Hag catches up wth us!"
Executive decision go!
As she approaches, Fiora notices several small clusters of stones arranged in a circle around the hut. Butter sits outside of the circle, and he barks at her.
Harvey walks out of the hut, with Keeley behind him. “Good,” he says. “Bring it over, but don’t step inside or break the circle.”
*Fiora looks serious, and after handing the stones over, draws her sword and shield and adopts a defensive posture, watching for any signs of an attack*
Just as Fiora hands over the eye, Butter stands and starts to growl menacingly towards the direction that she came from. Harvey frowns and says “She’s coming, and she’s not alone.” He lets out a long, shrill whistle and adds “We cannot leave the circle, nor can anyone enter it. If they do, the circle will be broken, and the ritual will fail. But don’t worry, you won’t have to deal with them alone.”
With that, he pulls out a beautifully carved bronze figurine of a large winged creature, a griffin, and sets it on the ground outside of the circle. The figurine suddenly starts growing and changing color, as it comes to life. The fully formed griffin walks forward to stand beside Fiora. Harvey then pulls out his tan bag of tricks and pulls out a fuzzy ball, then throws it. The ball transforms into a brown bear.
While in the hut, Vaga quickly look for any piece of cloth to replace his torn (and partly soiled) loincloth, before rushing out. If he see anything, he will just grab it with him so he can create a replacement scabbard for the hammer at a later stage.

Okay, so Harvey seems to be really carrying out the ritual. I hope it is for destroying the eye.
Ignatius hovers outside the periphery of the circle, still invisible, waiting for the right moment to take an initiative, whether it be against the hag who is likely coming, or against Harvey, should he try to do something nefarious with the eye instead of destroying it.
*Harvey points out that FIora is, in fact, outside the circle* "Right then! That makes this easier. We have attackers coming from three sides. Front, left anf right. Get ready!"
*Fiora Turns Undead*
If I'm gone, she drop the turning to intercept enemies. She will go for killing or crippling attacks depending on the size of her target.
*Nanna smiles at Vaga and follows his enthusiastic run after Fiora.*
Awww... Well done laddy for not giving up grabbing the treasure. I seem overcome with a compulsion to knit you a some wee socks, with matching bonnet... A knice shade of blue I think...

The ogre doesn’t seem to be listening. Instead, he starts backing away nervously.
Last time for choosing."
If this Ogre is still too scared to go into the hut.
...
Then we should be too... Let us go...
*Anduin walks away... Then walks back, casts burning hands, against the hut, then walks away again, after Fiora.*

Vaga does see a variety of interesting items:
A pair of boots
A strange, aerodynamic broom
An unassuming hat
A wand

Ignatius: Spot check: 6+4=10

After they collected the items, Vaga will hurry out and tell the team to quickly follow Fi and Igna back to the cursed girl.

*Fiora casts detect evil*
Out from the hut, with some loot in each hand, Vaga rush after Fi and the others. "Come Kaled and Nanna, let's go help our friends."
It is a beautiful baby blue.
The rest of the party hurries back, though it takes some time for them to reach the hut.
Meanwhile, Fiora senses evil in front of her. And left of her. And right of her.
"Right then! That makes this easier. We have attackers coming from three sides. Front, left anf right. Get ready!"
*Fiora Turns Undead*
