(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[FitzTheRuke]

Things were going sideways. Tenibor sent flame that burst into massive ball in the center of the courtyard. When the flames subsided, the giant houndsman's beard was singed, and all but one of the dire wolves were down, smouldering. The last wolf's fur was badly blackened, and the thing seemed to be berserk with pain and fury. It leaped on Bible once more, and mauled her ferociously.

The houndsman seemed little concerned about his dead pets, making it more about himself. He crossed the courtyard, lifted a large rock in his off-hand, and flung it at Tenibor, saying, ::Ya wrecked m'beard, Wizzud! Yer gonna die fer dat!::

He flung the big stone, and it knocked Tenibor into the wall of the steading as he tried to take cover behind the body of a dead giant.

OOC: Tenibor did 30 to all the wolves (killing all but DW4) and the Houndsman. DW4 critted Bible for 22. Houndsman did 23 to Tenibor.

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn pushes more mystical energy into his next bolt he sends towards the giant in the kitchen. The bolt strikes true and the giant drops. Quinn then runs towards the door to the courtyard to help his companions.

OOC: Using 3rd level slot to cast Guiding Bolt at HGS3. 3rd level Guiding Bolt at HGS3: 1d20+10 12 6d6 24 I will then move towards the door and the others as far as I can. I think I can get to V38 or somewhere around there.

 

[Blue]

He flung the big stone, and it knocked Tenibor into the wall of the steading as he tried to take cover behind the body of a dead giant.

OOC: Houndsman did 23 to Tenibor. Spoiler: Rolls HGHM vs Tenibor Rock: 1D20+9 = [16]+9 = 25 for 4D10+6 = [4, 1, 8, 4]+6 = 23

OOC: Eoghan had a Silvery Barbs prepped for the first time a giant hit one of us. Did he see the giant attack Tenibor that he could have forced a reroll? BTW, Advantage would go to Jack, I forgot to specify.

Eoghan had a Silvery Barbs prepped for the first time a giant hit one of us. Did he see the giant attack Tenibor that he could have forced a reroll? BTW, Advantage would go to Jack, I forgot to specify.

OOC: Right. Uh, still hit but only a 17, which Tenibor can probably shield (if he has that and wants to).

 

[Blue]

~<Bible!>~, called the firbolg mentally, ~<Do you want to be more on their size? I can form about you the body of a great ape.>~

OOC: @Hriston , do you want to be polymorphed? Giant Ape, decent combat form, and has it's own pool of HPs. Lasts up to an hour.

 

[TerraDave]

OOC: Right. Uh, still hit but only a 17, which Tenibor can probably shield (if he has that and wants to).

Yes please!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As Tenibor struggled out from under the rock, it turned out that he had thrown up a magical shield and was, in fact, unharmed. Eoghan had used a low hum, unheard by anyone, to slow the giant's aim, which had given the elf wizard the moment he had needed to active the shield. The note continued to rumble deep in Eoghan's throat, and he used the ancient magic to enhance probability in favour of Jack.

OOC: Tenibor is unharmed and Jack gets advantage. Tenibor and Eoghan use a L1 spell slot each.

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Valda looks over the scorched remains of the wolves, and then briefly over towards Bible and the remaining wolf. She hoped the other warrior could handle it, because if the houndmaster continued to throw rocks, he might flatten one of the others. With a growl, she raised her shield, and charged headlong at the giant, trying to bowl him right off his feet.

OOC: Replacing my first attack against the houndmaster with a shove to knock prone, which should be possible since I'm still large sized for the rest of the round. Will finish up with the round after I know if he's down or not. Athletics with Advantage from Giants Might: 2D20.HIGH(1)+8 = [4, 13]+8 = 21

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Valda slammed into the houndsman with her shield, but the bearded giant held his ground.

OOC: Nope. Houndsman Athletics Check: 1D20+9 = [14]+9 = 23

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Despite feeling like she ran into a wall, Valda stabbed with her sword at the immovable giant. Unfortunately her footing was off from the shield slam and could find no opening, and the runic magic sustaining her enhanced form flickered out as well. She stayed impassive and grim to her opponent, but in her head she only had one word.

Damn.

OOC: Darn. Use my second attack to well, attack. Sadly, low rolls all around this round. Giant's Might should also expire at this point if my count is correct. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [5]+9 = 14
