[Adventure] Invasion of the Einherjar (DM: CrimsonFlameWielder, Judge: Covaithe )

Fhangrim nods.

"Be with you in a moment my good man!"

The gnoll turns to find his owlbears devouring the bugbear.

"We may have to just leave what's left of him on the pier."

With a shrug Fhangrim tears the arm off of one of the goliaths and starts to gnaw on it.

GM:

Congratulations on completing the first wave!

As Haaku lands the last blows of the battle, ending the life of the lone Goliath on the dockside, a low rumbling can be heard from within the ships themselves. Soon, the sound becomes less rumble and a more distinct pounding of drums can be discerned. There doesn't seem to be any creatures coming out of the ships for the moment, so it seems as though you might have a few minutes to catch your breath before anything else comes out ~~to kill you~~ to be slaughtered...and apparently eaten...

[sblock=ooc]
Feel free to take a short rest. If Leather and Fangrim will be setting up a dead body pile-on in front of a pier, keep in mind that there are only 3 remaining Goliath bodies (blame Haaku's over-zealousness in his last attack sequence

) and a mostly-eaten bugbear body to use. When you have described how you set it up, roll an Intimidate check.

Also...since it seems that at least WEContact was interested... do you want me to up the challenge a bit or no? This last encounter was a high lvl 2 / low lvl 3 encounter. Shall we make the next one a proper lvl 3 encounter, or perhaps a low lvl 4 encounter?

OOC:

I'd be fine with a proper level 3 encounter as our average level is 2, but being only 4 players, level 4 might be a bit too swingy to attempt this early. A bad round of rolling from us and a good one from you and half our party could be down and dying.

OOC:

I'm an optimized L2 PC with magic items and everybody else is a fresh L1- I think it's best that I stay out of the decision to take on higher level fights.

Oh, spending two surges for full health. Ilex, I can use my Second Wind as a move action, so in that power is less useful for me than for others.

Fhangrim takes the spears of the goliaths and begins to mount the corpses of their owners on them as a warning to the other invaders.

Ilex takes a moment to mend her wounds and calls Noctua back to her side. They then help Leather move the bodies as indicated. Noctua too takes her fill of the tastier bits of flesh.

Is this a milestone? If so I need to correct my stat block
