(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom II [IC]

[Dalamar]

Siobhan tightens her grip on the shield they found on their way here as she moves into the fray, hoping the two ogres are too distracted to land serious blows on her. As she gets close enough, she swings her warhammer towards the closer ogre.
[sblock=OoC]Move next to Pender and attack the lower ogre. Warhammer attack (1d20+11=20, 1d8+5=6). Gah, minimum damage.

We haven't identified the shield we found from the fish, so I've calculated AC as a +1 heavy shield, in case that might make a difference.[/sblock]

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla continued to curl her lip in a wary snarl. There was something else in here, she could hear it, but for now the pile of ogres was the primary threat. She moved back cautiously up the stairs, only as far as she absolutely had to, and unleashed another arcane bolt.

OOC: Move up the stairs, only far enough to target one of the ogres. Attack with eldritch blast, invoking defensively if needed. Concentration +12 vs. DC16, ranged touch +10, 4d6+1 damage point blank.

Siobhan moves into melee with the creatures, but in doing so draws an attack from both. One hits, dealing 15 points of damage.

Siobhans attack hits the Ogre back for 6 points, but doesn't seem to phase it.

Pender gets two attacks, but he only one lands. It does deal 20 points of damage, however, nearly felling the southern creature.

Avril begins her call lightning spell (and yes, it's considered stormy).

Tyrla uses her Eldritch Blast to deal another 14 points of damage to the southern ogre, finishing it off.

 

[Redclaw]

A cold smile slowly crosses Larian's face as he sees the crowded mass of ogre in front of him. WIth a careful eye on the closest beast, he goes into the motions of a spell that he knows better than most. As it ends, a small bead of fire appears in his hand and then flies across the room, expanding as it goes.

[sblock=ooc] Casting defensively (+11 vs. DC 18), Larian will send a fireball into the room, dealing 9d6 damage, Ref save DC 18. Ideally it will also get the ogre in the side room, but it should at least get all three in the main room. I would be more specific, but it's hard to figure exactly where the squares are. I was thinking the middle of the southern edge of the ogre to the south, as long as that would avoid damaging Pender. [/sblock]

[Arkhandus]

Warren, HP 37/44, AC 25, Giant Killing Style, invisible

Warren avoids thanking Larian for now, since speaking would only make it easier for the ogres to find him. Instead he just lashes out in a spinning double-strike, against the guts and kidneys of the ogre that has moved in over the corpse of its comrade. A brief flash of golden light zips past the ogre as he goes, along the tip of Warren's short sword.

He adjusts his footing and focus beforehand to better fight the too-tall giant. The swirling blades of shadow disappear from the area as he does so.

[sblock=OOC]Changing stances to Giant Killing Style, and initiating Flashing Sun for an invisible full-attack with Sneak Attack and Discipline Focus-Insightful Strikes against the ogre that moved right in front of Warren and Pender.

Both attack rolls came up a 19 total against the flat-footed ogre, for 21 and 22 damage respectively. InvisibleCastle doesn't usually roll that kind of mostly-identically. Wierd.

Giant Killing Style, Flashing Sun, Greater Invisibility, attacking twice with Insightful Strikes and Sneak Attack vs. flat-footed ogre (1d20+15=19, 1d4+12=16, 1d6=5, 1d20+15=19, 1d4+12=16, 1d6=6) [/sblock]

Warren unleashes his attack against the other ogre accumulating 43 points of damage between the attacks and dropping yet another one.

Larian uses his prepared fireball spell, and because he's not threatened, does not have to worry about casting defensively (actually failed when I rolled it, then realized he's not threatened). His fireball spell flies past the pair in the hallway and detonates hitting two of the remaining ogres for full damage (29 fire damage, and I tried to lay out a target such that it didn't hit Pender but hit all 3, but it didn't seem possible).

The undamaged Ogre moves through the doorway and past his allies to get in front of the others, and he swings boldly with a power attack against Pender. Pender takes yet another batting for 24 points of damage. He's now taken 37.

His two allies take cover from the attacks, ducking out into the rooms adjacent to the main room and not visible to the party.

The building shakes and small bits of dust and stone sift out of the cracks in the walls. The seems like the entire structure could collapse at any moment.

"Fe-fi-fo-fum."

"You're dumb."

A huge two-headed humanoid-like creature, barely able to contain itself inside the building pushes through the stairs, walking sideways to get up and holding its two huge clubs in front and behind itself. The monster turns the corner, looking right at the group, and pushes the other ogre to the side to make room for its large body.

The creature takes a swing straight into Pender, landing yet another damaging blow and dealing another 13 points of damage to the warrior. He's now down 50 hit points.

 

[Dalamar]

Noting that his friend is almost at the brink of death, Siobhan asks Kord to heal Pender's wounds.
[sblock=OoC]Cast Cure Moderate Wounds, defensively Concentration +12 (DC 17). Heals 2d8+8[/sblock]

Siobhans heal manages to restore 18 of Pender's hit points.

Pender, now with 'three' opponents in front of him, tries to strike the Ettin with his blade. Two hits land, dealing a combined 30 damage to the ettin.

Avril's turn.

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid (Crocodile) - AC 21 - hp 42/49 - Spot +13 - Listen +13

Avril completes her spell, feeling the spirits of the air floating around her. Lightning builds as the smell of ozone fills the air. Thankful that Pender is still standing with the aid of Siobhan's ministrations, she instead opts to use the power of the weather and her magic to assist against these creature. She cannot call for anybody's aid in her crocodile form so she hopes that somebody directs their efforts most efficiently and more importantly without risk. They had to survive this - there were far more tougher challenges ahead.

Lifting her crocodile head in the air, she snapped shut her jaws, and with the crack of her powerful jaws, the lightning struck down and hit the ettin with a blast of electricity.

[SBLOCK=OOC]OOC: Use her standard action to call a lightning bolt from Call Lightning onto the ettin. Damage: 3d10 hp.

The lightning bolt strikes the square shared by the Ogre and Ettin, dealing damage to both. The bolt deals 21 damage, though both creatures make their saving throw, taking 10 points of damage each.

Map still hasn't changed, Tyrla's action next.
