Sesto & Loklafd

Sesto was drowning, he was sure, but he forced himself to stay calm and prayed to Lathander for the magic to walk on water and up he rose. The whale skeleton had been on top of him, and it rose to the surface as well, coming out of the ice-hole. Frozen flesh was still remaining on its massive tail as it flopped out on the ice next to Loklafd, so the Reghedman took two axes in hand and leapt into action, hacking away. The tail lifted and fell, threatening to flatten him into the ground, and he stumbled aside on his prosthetic leg.

Sesto was also in danger of being rolled on, but he held his ground, standing on the icy water and he caused his spirit mace to strike the whale hard on its enormous spine, cracking one of the bones and threatening to split the creature in two.

Lorenn vs Wight2

Lorenn's board returned to him, and the blade-dancer jumped on it and slid along the icy ledge to the last of the undead men, cutting the creature's head off as his owl scratched at its back. He slid down the hill as the head rolled with him.

GM: Sesto still crit! The Whale counts as prone now that its out of the water, so advantage cancels disadvantage.
Stick with me, I've still got Mord to do to end the round.

Mord & the Mordguard vs the Skeletal Giant

Mord told his guard to distract the giant skeleton as it lumbered out of the crack in the ice-cliffs. They raised their shields and surrounded it while defending themselves. It swung an oversized axe into one of their shields, and the Mordguard held its ground, but then it lifted its enormous foot, still in a giant's boot, and it stomped the Mordguard into the ground before it could recover. When it stepped away, all that remained of the Mordguard was a flattened mask, tattered cloth, and broken bones.

Mord saw that Lorenn had beheaded his intended target, so he sent his eldritch force at the giant skeleton that had crushed his minion, scoring a light black scar across the creature's forehead.

Kalorn smiled savagely as he cleaved the wight in half. He didn't finish the cursing ritual - there was no need, the creature hadn't even penetrated his defenses. He wondered idly if its sword was worth anything, and he surveyed the battlefield. He was in a ... tricky spot. Difficult to move around. It would take too long to reach down. He had to act now... and he could.

His eyes widened as he saw Mord's bolt of energy. That spell... it was familiar! This was no magic missile or fire bolt... How did Mord know of such magic? Well... perhaps it was time to show his hand as well. Kalorn raised his left hand, which began to crackle with energy, and he pointed at the giant, twice.

Action: Cast Eldrich Blast:

Eldrich blast vs giant skeleton: 1D20+7 = [7]+7 = 14

Two smoky bolts of black energy slammed into the giant, but it wasn't clear if they had connected properly... Kalorn wondered if Mord would recognize the spell.

Alhana & Loklafd vs the Skeletal Whale

From her position behind a corner of ice, Alhana sent fired four arrows in rapid succession at the flailing whale. Three buried themselves in one of its larger bones, leaving a crack that ran between them and threatened to break the bone in half. The fourth arrow careened off of the bone, breaking with the force of the blow.

Lolkafd battled with the thing's tail, hacking away with his hand-axes. The tail came down on him and he tried to step to the side, but was too late, it slammed him into the ground. When the tail came back up for a second blow, he rolled to the side, winded, but not terribly injured.

GM: I'll get started so I don't fall so far behind. Here's one PC. Only the rest to go...

Mord, Kalorn, & Lorenn vs the Giant Skeleton

Mord and Kalorn both fired eldritch bolts at the giant skeleton. Though one of Mord's left a black scar on its bony shoulder, none of the bolts seemed to slow it down as it stomped on one of the Mordguard and hacked the other to pieces with one of its oversized axes.

Lorenn came flying above it on his flying board and he performed a roll-over maneuver, slashing its back with his sword and then he flew away over the skeletal whale.

Having crushed the Mordguard, the giant lumbered forward. A small explosion left by Lorenn went off on its back, and it threw one of its big axes at Mord. The warlock was nearly knocked off his horse with the force of the blow; though he avoided being cleaved by the enormous piece of metal which fell to the snow beside him.

Lorenn went on to thrust his rapier into the neck-bones of the whale as it continued to thrash about on the surface of its water-hole.

GM: @Prickly Pear (Sesto) and [MENTION=6855204]tglassy[/MENTION] (Primus) to go.

Primus decided the whale was in hand, and turned his attention to the Giant, sending it a big headache.

[oof]Mind Thrust. Whoops. It’s a DC 16 Int save. Not an attack roll.
[roll1] Psychic Damage. [/ooc]
