Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
OOC:
OOC: That might be something I'd allow, but usually expect it to use your action, if you want me to take it as more that fluff. (I mean, if the target is already considering the action you suggest, I'd have it happen without using an action, with a decent roll, sure!) I guess just consider that I add "weight" to the action economy.
More than fair. In that case I hadn't used Eoghan's action for it, so just treat it as dressing. Or at best perhaps remember it if doing some sort of morale for the orcs.
 

FitzTheRuke

Legend
Eoghan backed off from the orc that had stabbed him, and he shut the heavy kitchen door with his back. He could hear a giant coming down the hallway behind him (likely the same one that had gone to the Stone Giant's room, now tasked with checking on the noise from the kitchen). The orc seemed to consider surrendering, though it was not in an orc's nature to do so, but then was shot in the back by Jack. Insensibly, the orc charged Eoghan, and again stuck his kitchen knife in the giant-kin.

Having been insulted by Eoghan, the giantess climbed to her feet and rushed forward in anger. Tenibor tolled another deep note, and the giantess, still holding her flour-bag, stepped foolishly into the flames. The bag went up, and so did she, until she collapsed, in a smoking heap that put out most of the remaining fire as she landed on top of the burning flour that was piled on the dirt floor around Valda.

Bible hopped off the table, and she finished off the wood-throwing orc, before the latter could grab another log from the woodpile. She could hear a flurry of movement in the room to the north, as giants and orcs there prepared themselves for battle.

OOC: Eoghan did 5 & Tenibor did 18 to the Giantess, killing her. Jack did 12 to Orc7 who critted Eoghan again for 8!; Bible killed Orc3. Valda and Quinn to go.

 


FitzTheRuke

Legend
Leaving the burned giantess behind her, Valda marched over toward Eoghan and easily lopped the head off the orc who was harassing the Firbolg.

From behind the door came a giant's voice that said, ::Hey dere! Wus' goin' on in da kichun?::

OOC: Done in Orc7.
 

Quinn looks at the lone orc standing in the kitchen then to the open door and the dire wolves. He lashes out with his thorn whip at the orc. Hitting the creature and dragging it closer to he and Bible. Quinn then moves up and places the mass of insects between him and the wolves line of sight.

OOC: Casting Thorn Whip on Orc3
Thorn Whip attack against Orc3: 1d20+10 22 2d6 4
I will then drag the orc 10 ft closer to me. If possible I will drag him into the area of the Insect Plague But don't think he will reach it with only 10 ft.
I will then move to p36 or p37 to put the AOE spell between me and the wolves.
 


FitzTheRuke

Legend
Eoghan and Valda listened to the giant's retreating footsteps. They had fooled the brute once again.

Quinn moved up near Bible, and before the body of the wood-throwing orc could fall from her blade, the druid pulled it free with his whip and threw it into the mass of insects, where it was consumed.

OOC: Orc3 is even more dead. Let's move on.

~If we wish to make an exit and regroup--that would be through the wolves. Or we can take the fight to what may be the rest of the kitchen staff to the north.~
