The war ogres on wyvern back swooped down on the mansion in the West, flying around and performing a good survey of the entire house. There weren’t guards protecting the mansion, but they could both smell creatures in the buildings – weaklings, running around and cowering in fear at the sight of the wyverns.
Kobolds that ran, weak goblins that refused to fight, pregnant mothers and children, all hiding in the mansion as if those outside couldn’t sense them. There were a few soldiers, but they didn’t count for anything. In other words, none of these creatures mattered.
Only one did. The war ogress that was hiding on the first floor. She was setting up some sort of electric field around her and it was growing. If they allowed it to continue, the barrier would be big enough to cover the entire mansion.
