[LPF] Unwanted Farmhands

[Maidhc O Casain]

[section]

Bren smiles at his friend's ramblings, his grin growing even more broad at the quip about burning the barn down around the giants' ears. "The barn he'd accept, I think . . . we could help him rebuild. But if the giants have left any cows alive I'd hate to see them suffer so. Still . . ."​

He thrusts out a hand over Fury's shoulder, palm toward one of the great shaggy wolves. A brilliant ray of golden light shoots forth, and the smell of burning fur fills the air.[/section]

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric exclaims, "Fookin' brutes!? There are gods be damned giants in here! Well bigger they are the harder they fall."

He draws his new mageslaying flail quick as a flash and with a smooth motion slams the spiked ball into the shoulder of the nearest large wolf as he steps into the barn.

He calls to the giants in their native tongue, "You bastards are being asked to get the fook out."

[perrinmiller]

Borric and Bren manage to wound two of the wolves. Three appear slightly dazed from Syl's spell.

One of the giants has a glazed look on his face, dumbfounded to what's going on. The other four are scrambling to the their feet and reaching for weapons. But you still have them beat on reactions.

The big one in the back roars.

"Oh you lil' sheets be gittin it! We grind yur bones fur our fookin' bread, we will!"

GM: Everyone is up for Round 1 I hope you enjoy this. I have not run something this high level before and wanted a little twist to the start.

 

[Gerald007]

Trusting Borric to hold off the wolves, Syl took a 5' step backwards, and used his Fortune Hex on his warrior friend. "You know the drill, old boy. Put the hurt on them for me, will you? After you dispatch the first one, we might want to draw them outside, though. Those giants are going to be tough on you in such an enclosed spot!"

OOC [sblock]Standard action--Fortune Hex. Free action--5' step to Q 12 and speech. Off topic this is shaping up to be an awesome encounter, so long as we make it out alive, lol. I've not done much high level adventuring, so I hope my tactics are up to snuff.[/sblock]

[section]

The Irthian priest reaches out to touch Fury on the shoulder, and the rake feels his muscles swell with strength. "Go forth and slay a giant or two, my friend. I'm right behind you; I'll call the battlefield, just as I did in the temple."

At the same time, the hammer floating over his shoulder zips into the barn and begins beating the DireWolf Bren blasted a moment before.​

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric has a wicked grin as he is twirling the head of the spiked ball of the flail around to gain momentum for his next smashing blow.

"Yeah, you might be right, mate. But I need to be up close and personal. If these bastards are evil, then my new flail is going to be even better. We don't have the wee lass, so I hope you can heal me a time or two just in case."

"Watch your head, flying cows could be dangerous."

He steps in closer to smash twice at the wolf lying in front of him, crushing the canine's skull in.

"Fury, I have this other one here flanked for you to skewer!"

Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo

Fury steps into the barn and sidles along the wall until he reaches a position opposite Borric with the wolf between them. As Borric distracts the giant creature Fury sinks the blade of his rapier to the hilt into it. While deep the injury isn't fatal and Fury curses his luck at not killing it.

"Cortessa's... I thought I had that one."

He wrenches his blade from the wolf's body and readies himself for an onslaught of wolves and giants.

[perrinmiller]

Borric and Fury have put down two of the wolves. A third is confused and doesn't listen to the giant giving it orders.

The confused giant punches himself for a minor wound, still not sure what he is doing. Then he laughs about it.

The other standing giant picks up a dead cow and chucks it the knight in gleaming armor. Borric throws up his shield and manages to deflect the flying hooves as it lands nearby with a THUD.

The other three giants get to their feet. One had ordered the wolf to do something and it ignored him. The other picked up a dead cow getting ready to hurl it at somebody.

The biggest giant stands up and flies into a rage, ordering the other wolf to attack the knight. "Kill dat lil' shiny fook!"

The fourth wolf gets to its feet and moves around the confused giant to advance on Borric.

[Gerald007]

Syl smiles grimly as he watched the wolves being cut down by his mates. The giants seemed like the more likely trouble, however. He decided to try and deter their abilities.

OOC [sblock]Standard action--Evil Eye on Giant 1. Will DC 21 to resist. Minus 4 to attack rolls for 10 rounds. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. Move action--Cackle to keep Fortune Hex on Borric. Free action--None.[/sblock]

[section]

The floating hammer continues wailing on the wolf in front of the priest, slamming solidly into it's ribs before whipping 'round to crush it's skull. Bren follows Fury into the killing ground, quickly assessing the situation as he moves. Upon seeing the cow wielding giant just to the right, he decides that the door might provide a little cover just in cast he's noticed. He stops there and begins chanting a prayer to the Gods of Irthos. Within a moment, a glowing form - humanoid, clad in plate armor festooned with spikes and wielding a rapier, appears floating beside the barbarous giant leader. The form makes two quick thrusts, but neither manages to find a chink in the giant's armor.​
