Valda sees the giant topple after barely deflecting the giant's axe, and sees Bible slowly rise to her feet. She might not be the brightest, but she could see the problem they were in, as the ogres started to amass outside to the right of her, and to the left the wizard, Tenibor, being assaulted...

"Crush under your boots? Not if I chop your feet off." Valda growls at the Houndsman as she hacked at his legs. Seeing the onslaught of blows raining down at her sister in arms, as it were, she called up on the runic magic she had stolen from the giants to help ward against the blows.* Wow...

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...

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...

To be fair, the Barbarian pre Tashas had nothing either, and even now is only marginally better, getting a whole extra skill proficiency.

Rolled the strength saving throw with advantage because of Giant's Might. Will post actions for the round later today when I have more time. Strength Saving Throw: 2D20.HIGH(1)+8 = [9, 10]+8 = 18

Valda looks to the spellcasters who seem to have things in hand with the group of orcs coming from the kitchen, and by in hand, she meant pretty much dead. Moving forward, she struck at an Orog while trying to stay in the way of the wolves and the bulk of the group. Moving up and attacking Orog...

Valda knows that the rune magic that had enlarged her form wasn't going to last much longer. Pulling out one of her handaxes, she chucked it at the hill giant that had been caught in the blast from the fireball, before backing up to tighten the group against the probably angry wolves. Throwing...

Valda goes for the giant in front of her, hoping that the distraction of swinging at Bible would leave her open to her steel. She grimly hacks at the giant with her longsword, knowing that the longer this goes on the more likely the group is to be overwhelmed by reinforcements.

Valda tries to cautiously move out the door, trying to put herself between the giants who thought they were sneaking and Eoghan, who seemed to be handling the dire wolves, although she keeps an eye on them. She doesn't quite trust the large predators, and adopts a defensive stance against the...

Sorry about the lack of posting. Things got a bit hectic and I forgot to check the threads. I will definitely try to catch up and post after I get off work later tonight.

"Well, this is a right mess. Like a bad burgle." Valda thinks to herself as she backs away from the flame and the corpse of the hill giantess. She moves to Eoghan's side and attempts to finish off the orc still bedeviling him. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [8]+9 = 17 1D20+9 = [15]+9 = 24...

I will also be taking said damage. Dexterity Saving Throw: 2D20.LOW(1)+3 = [18, 1]+3 = 4

Valda, now able to see again, was a bit surprised by the flames engulfing the area around her, but she quickly recovered and rained savage blows upon the giantess, hoping to use it's momentary fits of laughter to her advantage. Attacking with advantage since the giant is prone from Tasha's...

Blinded by the flour suffusing the air and area around her, Valda cursed and coughed. She lashed out with wild blows against the Orog as they both tried to work around these almost comedic conditions. Dexterity Saving Throw: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8 +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 2D20.LOW(1)+9 = [17...

Valda huffs at the Chef's comments towards them as she calls on one of the runic tricks she has learned. Runes flicker with power and she grows, nearly doubling in size, both height and girth. With this newfound power, she strides towards the orog and orc to her right to block their path towards...

Valda follows behind the others, ready in case combat breaks out. She doesn't speak the orcish tongue, so she leaves the attempt at deception to Jack and Eoghan, instead keeping an eye out for any other dangers.

Without commenting on the skill system directly, yes Expertise allows for some high modifiers to a skill roll, but at high levels that competes with high level spells, which can do super crazy things. A min 15 on a roll is, in comparison, kinda weak in my opinion. Your experience may vary I suppose.

With the fire under control for now, Valda drops the waterskin and rushes at the Galeb Duhr, sword drawn. After the first strike, the rune etched into her sword sparks, and flame runs down blade, wrapping around the stony creature, trying to shackle it down. +1 Longsword Attack: 1D20+9 =...

"Ah, bloody nine hells." Valda mumbles as she surveys the situation after the giant was felled. A strange rock monster, and a growing fire, either that could alert the giants of the stedding. Making a snap decision, she heads to the fire, attempting to douse the flames with the water in her...
