The grandmother lets her know she is close to getting the animosity of the deity off Merry.

- The group rents horses (15g each) and rode quickly to 4 hours to the 1st post (1pm) and changed horses. They then took another 2 hr 45 to find an area off the road that was disturbed and tried to been redone to look undisturbed. (4 pm ish) Roth spots it, and the party rides into the woods, and leave the horse a ways in tied up. Scarlett tries to talk to some birds with little success. Ari pulls a mastiff to help scout, and they continue on. The mastiff finds a bone along the way, which Ari investigates, and determines is it is fresh, humanoid and has teeth marks of a large creature.
- The party continues on and find more bits of rubbish from the caravan.
- Keep going until dark around 7, Roth scouts ahead, in cloak, then flying and invisible. Sees 2 owl bears, and 5 half ogres (he thinks). he puts on the Helm of Comprehend Language and hears the half ogres talking about eating humans and complaining about having to be careful.
- Roth returns 2.5 hours later, after getting lost in the trees flying back. He tells the party what he saw.
- Scarlett informs the group owl bears are nocturnal, and the party plans to rest and attack the half ogres before dawn, when it is still dark and everyone is sleepy or asleep.

- Roth sneaks in and kills one the half orc with Flying Ari’s help. The party enters combat, with Scarlett attempting to ride the owl bear, with mixed success. The owl bear is having none of it. The party then takes down the 2 half ogres, 2 full ogres and 2 owl bears. Merry casts polpmorph and turns the last owl bear into a turtle, and then the Oni keeps trying to go invisible, with Ari keep flying above and casting counter spell.
