S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

"Who could be behind this, I wonder?"

Turning, Darv scowls at the scrying sensor and wags a threatening finger at it. "Begone, damn you! And plague us no more, lest I be forced to resort to harsher measures!"

Dispel Check: 24

"That was an entirely empty threat," Darv admits, turning back to the others. "If I can't dispel it, there's not a damned thing that I can do."

"We can at least mind our tongues," Dreadnought rumbles.

"And since we know it's looking at Lo-Kag, we can try to make sure he doesn't stand too close to obvious landmarks that would give away our position, or any of the defenses we prepare."
 

25 Zarantyr late-afternoon

After the gnome casts his magicks, Morph still sees the disc following behind the goliath.

[sblock=Darv]
After your spell is complete, and your empty threat is delivered, you hear a whisper in your ear,"Your impotent threat is of no concern to me, foolish gnome."

You look around and see no one, and do not notice any look of recognition on anyone else's face, so you get the feeling that you were the only one to hear it.

Realizing that not much more can be done, the group continues onward into the forest.

Three hours later, Ganyon raises his hand as you round a bend. Up ahead, you can make out an overturned cart with a few barrels laying on the ground. He scans the scene, but does not appear to hear anything.

Actions?

Btw, on all maps going forward, coordinates will be in the format of (x, y) using two numbers instead of a number and letter.

Morph

After the casting of the dispelling magic, Morph shakes his head. "It had no effect, unless you can try again, we are best to follow the advice of Dreadnaught."


Morph looks ahead at the upturned wagon. He quietly calls Void back to the party. "We'll stay here, you investigate while under the cover of invisibility." He twiddles his three fingered hands before touching the monk on the shoulder.

[sblock=ooc]Does the wagon appear relatively new? As long as it is not really old, like whatever happened here happened a long time ago, then Morph will go ahead with his actions above.

0: Detect Magicx2, Read magic, ray of frost
1: Feather fallx2, lesser orb of firex2, magic missle, ray of clumsiness, grease
2: invisibility, glitterdust, rope trick, incendiary slime
3: haste, slow, fireball, animate weapon
4: flame whips, polymorphx2[/sblock]
 

While the wagon does not look new, it is not covered in moss or broken down. A rough guess would be that it has not been years since it has been in this place.

Also, that is a statue of a giant on the map.

As the warforged wizard completes his spell, turning the Gith invisible, you hear a thundering roar from across the path.

A second later, a gigantic ape walks around the side of the giant statue and into view.

Standing about 10 feet tall, it looks at you then beats its leathery chest and turns its head towards the tops of the trees and lets loose another yell.

It then looks at you with huge teeth bared.

Need initiative and actions, if any.

Darv raises his left hand and calls out a brief incantation, summoning a bolt of silvery light which streaks from the sky and strikes the enormous simian.

[Sblock=OOC]

Initiative: 13.

I'm assuming that this is a normal -- if dire -- animal, so not bothering with Dark Knowledge. Knoweldge: Nature check of 26, in case I'm wrong. And to identify if it for sure.

Casting Moon Bolt at the ape. 3 points of strength damage (bleh!), Fort Save of 20 to make it a single point.

Davan moves forward slightly and touches Dreadnaught.

ooc: Bulls Strength on Dreadnaught or Void if I cannot cast it on a warforged.

Your knowledge of all things created by the natural world tell you that this creature certainly looks like a dire ape, but there is something different about it -- almost otherworldly.

Unfortunately, that is one of the areas where your genius has not been fully exploited.

[Know(nature) tells you that it is not a simple dire ape, but is actually some type of outsider. Know(planes) doesn't tell you anything helpful besides that it is indeed an outsider of some sort.]
