(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[TerraDave]

~We have to start somewhere. Jack should try to stay unnoticed. Valda can go down quickly,Bible can follow then the rest of us. When the giant notices, the fight starts.~

 

[TerraDave]

if our tall one has something that can take the giant out quickly, he could levitate down.

DM: Also, sorry to keep asking, but how far down is it from the chimney top?

 

[Lidgar]

OOC: How big is the room and how far away is the giant from the fireplace? Also interested where any exits are.

Jack slips down into the shadows at the back of the fireplace and mentally describes the scene to the rest. He also agrees with the Wizard’s assessment - this is likely to be as good as it gets.

~<If there is but one, I can make him my friend for an hour. It's a deeper chant, takes more from me, but it is still one I can do several times. Our mission is to find out what is going on, this may be a good chance.>~

OOC: As a player I am fine with attack or Charm. Eoghan has Charm Monster as a 4th level spell, and would be making them save with disadvantage. If he uses this, there's no need for the disguise yet. Remember charm is just friendly, not dominated.

OK, that would be impressive. ~You should levitate down and charm that giant. I will be right behind you~

(Assuming its not more than 30 feet to the floor) After the tall one makes his way down, the wizard will get a line of sight to the bottom and disappear in silvery mist. He will reappear at the bottom. (Contingent Misty Step).

 

[Lidgar]

~I say we go with the big one’s plan to get this stone monolith on our side. The longer we can escape notice and assess our surroundings, the better. However, the rest of you need to be ready to drop down the chimney on the double if things go bad. I’ll watch his back and the exits when he starts the chant, assuming he can get his big frame down the chute without causing a ruckus.~

Jack pressed himself near the side of the chimney to make space for Eoghan.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As Jack tried to squish himself to the side of the chimney, he realised that there would be no way that Eoghan would fit past him. It was going to be something of a feat getting the Tall One down the chimney as it was. Perhaps it would be better if he went back up. It was either that or to exit the hearth and see if he couldn't roll behind the large chest, or failing that, parley with the giant while Eoghan came down.

Tenibor had a look down the chimney himself. It was exactly the distance that he knew he could fey-step. He was confident he could join them quickly should he be needed.

OOC: Ought to give this a try, sure. Eoghan is going to have to make a straight-up dc12 athletics check to climb down, 17 if Jack stays inside. Failure will result in knocking some built-up soot (and probably that bird's nest) down ahead of himself, causing an eruption of soot into the room (and quite a lot of coughing). He will also land prone and take 7 bludgeoning damage. If Jack is there, they'll both take the damage and land prone if Eoghan fails the roll. If he makes it, then He can pop out of the fireplace, a little sooty but otherwise fine, and announce himself with Jack still inside.

 

[Lidgar]

Once firmly pressed against the wall, Jack looked up and saw the face of the giant kin looming large in the chimney opening. ~You really are a big one, aren't you?~, he tried thinking to himself but instead broadcasting to the others.

~Well, better make space. Time to test my luck.~ Jack then tumbled from the fireplace to towards the large chest.

OOC: Acrobatics: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22 Stealth: 1D20+23 = [10]+23 = 33

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn continues his slow circle of the compound. He listens to the others plan as he scans for any form of dangers.

I will keep an eye out up here until it is safe for me to enter.

With that Quinn makes a larger circle over the fort looking for any signs that they have been discovered.

OOC: Perception check w/ advantage from owl form: 2d20k1+9 29 I will also be ready to fly down if there is trouble. Rolling dex save just in case. Dex save to fly down chimney: 1d20+3 14

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Jack dove out of the fireplace and rolled behind the large chest. The wooden slats of the floor kindly kept themselves silent as they took his weight. He sat there, with his back to the chest, trying to control his breathing as he listened for any sign that the giant had noticed him. He could hear the giant scratching away at his slate, oblivious to his presence.

OOC: For those asking for room details: Here's where it's at: (Note: Only Jack is in the room, and everyone else is on the roof. The chimney is 30 feet down, though the roof is only 25 feet to the ground outside. As you can see, you're at the southwest corner of the steading. The Watchtower's corner can be seen bottom right.)
