+title: Dead Boys and Ability Score Damage, Session 13
+---
+
+## Current Objectives
+- Proceed to the Far Territories, and reclaim Fort Rather.
+    - Kill an Ogre King
+    - [COMPLETE!] ~~Revive (the real) Syrup, and return him to command~~
+    - [COMPLETE!] ~~Hunt-down the brother-in-law, Stanislaw, and bring him to justice~~
+
+## Events
+- With Johnson the light-emitting-skin-suit joining the group, the part moves
+  towards the Ogre King. We move through the halls, coming to a large doorway
+  constructed of logs, with an _Arcane Lock_ upon it. Before it are two ogres
+  with greatswords. COMBAT!!
+    - The ogres beat us down pretty damn hard, but we prevail!
+
+- Jonathan confirms we stand outside the Ogre King's chamber. There is a
+  protective ward within, restricting him from entering. The wards are runic in
+  design, in circles, of reflective materials. We fuck around a bit, before
+  Stackor _knocks_ the barred-door open. We eventually find our way inside, and
+  engage! Through the use of the anti-magic object we had from the Me-Go's,
+  copious amounts of _acid spray_, and some good stabbings, we manage to get the
+  Ogre King quite damaged. Stackor finishes him off with a mythic _cone of
+  cold_.
+    - We spend some time looting!
+
+- As we leave, making our way back to the injured men, we discover that an ogre
+  had made his way to them before us, and slaughtered them. We manage to
+  dispatch him, and feel very bad about the whole thing.
+    - Gabro finds a mine cart, and we load up the remaining injured men and book
+      it out of the mines. Ogres chase us, but never catch us.
+    - Outside, Pale Root and Little Plague greet us, and we plan our next steps.
+
+- Stackor constructs a _secure shelter_, then _teleports_ some of the injured
+  men back to Mine Town. He updates Sir Wallace (who's just surley), then
+  _teleports_ back to the group. We'll pick up from here next time!
+
