(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Lidgar]

~Valda, let's tie my rope around this stout support pillar and lower it. The rest of you, prepare to climb up the rope carefully and quietly, we have two brutes here sawin' logs with a big gong between them.~

Once the rope is tied and lowered, Jack will sneak past both giants to look (and listen) down the stairs.

OOC: Stealth: 1D20+23 = [7]+23 = 30 Perception: 1D20+10 = [9]+10 = 19

OOC: How does the rope change what you need from us? No roll needed or grant advantage? Or is it all on your side like a lower DC?

OOC: How does the rope change what you need from us? No roll needed or grant advantage? Or is it all on your side like a lower DC? Climbing gear (of any appropriate sort) grants advantage. Like I said before. Failure will result in complications, but you'll eventually make it up. One roll will do, pass or fail.

He reached back and gently brushed the thick pads of his fingers over a bandore with clean, elegant curves.

Spoiler: Bandore image

~<If any truly think the climb would be a problem, I can make you levitate. Or, to my chagrin for forgetting, fly.>~

When everyone else has gone, or someone gestures that it is his turn, he will climb.

OOC: If anyone wants Bardic Inspiration (+d8 to one check/attack/save within the next 10 minutes, used after the roll) just take it and let me know. Levitate (or Fly) is first come first serve, just let me know and he will use the Fochlucan Bandore to cast it. Athletics check with advantage to Climb: 2D20.HIGH(1)+1 = [17, 4]+1 = 18 REACTION: Speech of Beast and Leaf allows firbolgs to be understood by beasts and plants, though does not understand them, and has advantage on Charisma checks with them. Eoghan is Ready if anyone sets the dogs to barking he will calm them down in a low voice, telling them it's all right, that they are good boys, and that we are supposed to be here. Speech of Beast and Leaf Persuade check with adv to calm the dogs: 2D20.HIGH(1)+13 = [11, 7]+13 = 24

OOC: he will use the Fochlucan Bandore to cast it You... you don't think that might wake a "dozing" giant fifty feet above you? Or you mean if the giant wakes to get up there quick? Also note: The 'dogs' are 400 feet away now at the other door. Sorry if I wasn't clear about it or have jumped forward without your intent. Have you had a look at the map(s)? I hope that will make things clear.

When he hears about the slipper-boots, Tenibor's eyes start to widen and his arms move outward. When he sees the Bandore taken out, he may smack his head. But quietly,

To Valda: ~Yes, and you can do more than that--an image of a women with a sword running on a wall above her opponents flashes into her head~.

To the Firbolg of Indeterminate Names: ~Levitate the druid. He is the one who needs to keep focus. And there is something appropriate about using that to levitate a druid~.

He grips the rope. Here goes.

He slips, then plummets.

 

[TerraDave]

WAIT, he will try something.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Tenibor began to climb the rope. About halfway up, his feet slipped off the damp log and he uttered, Whulp!"

He swung out to one side before catching himself by slamming his feet into the wall. None of it was particularly loud - unfortunately, it was just loud enough. The dozing giant opened his eyes. put his meaty hands on the rail, and looked over saying, "Ooh gowes dere?"

OOC: Yeah, okay, in this case the "complication" is the obvious one: You woke the giant! I'll be back to post a round-roller, but anyone who hasn't acted lately can give me some hint as to what they were up to, otherwise I'll assume "quietly waiting for your turn to climb up". Don't worry about initiative, though. We won't use it unless absolutely necessary.

 

[TerraDave]

Or he does not!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Or he does not! Whatchew got for me? Portents?
