Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Dalamar]

Attack roll: 17(roll) + 6 - 4(proficiency) -(what's the range increment of a block of wood ) = 19

 

[Jarval]

Mortimer hustles onwards, trying not to think too much (or feel too guilty) about Keith and Charlotte's potential fate.

 

[Zhure]

Travellios 18 [1180 feet altitude] <- next
Sildarin 18 (delayed) [1180 feet altitude]
Giants 5

Sildarin manifest briefly, and a sends a large block of wood hurtling toward the eagle. Gravity grabs the wood and while his aim is surprisingly close, Sildarin doesn't manage to connect. It was, after all, a difference of almost 980 feet.

The eagle roars out its displeasure, and continues to strongly beat its wings, still climbing upwards at a phenomal rate.

The less wounded of the two giants #1completes his incantations, and a small ball of light appears in the air above the giant's head. It hovers briefly, then disappears, only to appear a few dozen feet away from the flying duo!

Meanwhile... Paendaerig, Mortimer, Lyrique, and Rallyn ...

... push onward, making good time. In only a few hours they will have reached the tower.

Charlotte and Keith

The sounds of skirling metal grow no louder. No giants or bears make an appearance, but you sense they are somewhere nearby.

 

[Velenne]

"Oh now this truly is quaint, if a bit unsettling for the poor archon. True of heart and yet here we face one another. Time to send you home, little one. No need to fret for the bird; it should return home long before it reaches us at the rate its current rate. Let us get after those bears."

Travellios extends two fingers from one hand toward the archon. With some regret, he intones a short arcane phrase and two green bolts of light fire from his fingertips, slamming into the floating sphere.

OOC: Save 8 + 4 = 12 (whoa). Magic Missle damage = 1+1 + 4+1 = 7.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique trudges onward his thoughts going out to his friends but his heart set on getting his parents and the rest safe back on Drell.

 

[Dalamar]

Will save: 17 (roll) + modifiers that I'm too lazy to dig up = Enough

Sildarin heads after the bears at full speed, hoping the wizard knows what he's doing.

 

[Jeremy]

OOC: I'm still here. More of the same from Rallyn.

 

[Jarval]

OOC: I'm still here. More of the same from Rallyn.

And the same from Mortimer.

Travellios 18 [1180 feet altitude] <- next
Sildarin 18 (delayed) [1180 feet altitude]
Giants 5

Travellios casts a spell at the archon hitting squarely. While it lacks any ability to make expressions, it almost seems relieved as the conjured creature winks back to the celestial planes.

The eagle continues its slow upward climb.

The giant (1) directly below the flying pair casts a spell with a few words and fades from view.

Giant Eagle, wounded 0, round 2, 520 feet altitude
Giant 1 wounded 44 (staying still? invisible)
Giant 2 dead
Giant 3 wounded 31 (gone north? Not visible)
Giant 4 wounded 58 (gone south? Not visible)
Giant 5 wounded 60 (east toward the townsfolk? not visible)
Giant 6 wounded 43 (east toward the townsfolk? not visible)
Bear 1 wounded 70 (east, not visible)
Bear 2 wounded 63 (east, not visible)

Meanwhile... Paendaerig, Mortimer, Lyrique, and Rallyn ...

... push onward, making good time. In only a few hours they will have reached the tower.

Charlotte and Keith

The sounds of metal clashing ends abruptly... still no sign of the giants or the bears.... this round, but roll initiative for next round.

 

[Velenne]

Content that the foolish oafs had learned their lessons against obviously superior foes, Travellios waits until either he or Sildarin spot one of the forward giants. The approaching eagle is completely forgotten as he is supremely confident that it won't be able to catch them at their rate and height before its duration expires.

This time the immense humanoid not only loses his spell, but his life as well, falling to the ground as a burnt husk.

Wasn't one of them dead? I was assuming we're still travelling toward the lead giants with their bears?
