A problem with Norkers

Well, we're under way in our new adventuer. After reaching the small village (elven, half elven, human, trapping and logging community) we searched out some information on Banidon, a relative of arivain and the reason for our arrival. We quickly found out he was the lord of the surrounding area, and the villagers thought he may be a wizard of some type. The villagers informed us that a white haired lady recently came to town to meet with banidon, shortly there after a number of monstrous beasts known as norkers began to terrorize the villagers. The party, well, mostly arivain, said that we would check it out, and find out what we could. A newcomer, Azriel, an elven ranger, joined forces to help put a stop to the destruction the norkers were causing to the surrounding woods. It turned out he was a pretty valid addition to the group. As soon as the troop reached the manner, we were attacked by a band of norkers. The norkers were also accompanied by two demons. Calem's trusty daggers took out most of the norker minions, there leader was left blinded by the attack, who then fell swiftly to void like tendrils of darkness summoned up by arivain. Azriel made short work of the first of the demons, and did considerable damage to the second while thragen held its attention. The combat was fast, well contained, and done in short order. As we traveled through the house, we came across another room, like a foyer. This room was guarded by a small animated hound, and a very large bronze golem. Azriel was first to jump in, and stood his ground the entire combat. His two swords contributed greatly to the destruction of the hound, but he couldnt seem to find a week spot to strike on the Golem. Thragen held the golems attention, which moved around the room aimlessly, smashing all in its path with a gigantic axe. Calem, seeing his effectiveness wane versus this opponent, made a hasty retreat to surmise the situation. Uziel, the death priest, was probably most effective, by striking true against the great golem he aided his fellows with blessings of azash, making it easier to strike the target. Arivain did what was expected of him, sitting at a safe distance throwing blasts of destructive arcane energy against the Animate. it was these attacks that weakened, and finally drained the goliath of its arcane life.
We stopped the session shortly after that. it was a really fun one.

Arivains quote of the day ".. Well, in all honesty, he's probably dead anyways."
