[QUOTE="Vigwyn the Unruly, post: 1693485, member: 20345"] [b]Ogre Battle 3[/b] Belisha, seeing an opportunity to neutralize the ogre with a simple spell, takes out a pinch of sand. While chanting an ancient incantation, she rubs the sand between her hands in the pattern she learned as a young spell caster. The courageous fighter, quickly righting himself from the javelin’s glancing blow, charges forward on his mount, sword above his head ready to strike. As the mounted warrior enters the ogre’s range, the giant takes advantage of his superior reach. He easily lands a punishing blow against the recklessly charging knight. With the sound of crumpling plate and cracking bones, the giant’s club crashes into Eolan! But the warrior's sacrifice is not in vain. Even after taking the brunt of the greatclub’s force, Eolan is able to land a strike with his sword at the end of the charge. The bastard sword opens a scarlet gash on the ogre’s jaundiced arm; and the sight of bright blood sends the message that even a giant may be in over his head against this group. Rufus, eager to join the fight to defend his master, dashes toward the ogre and attempts to sink his teeth into its yellow flesh. The bite instead meets the tough hide the giant wears as crude armor. Hardin, unable to charge, carefully moves around to the south of the giant, cunningly setting up a flanking maneuver with both the dog and the rogue. [size=3][b]Round 2[/b][/size] Slyfen, seeing the situation the dwarf has engineered, moves in toward the ogre, his eyes searching its abdomen for vulnerable areas. As he closes in, he draws his rapier, chooses a spot just below the ribcage and strikes! For the second time in as many days, the elf’s finely crafted blade is guided to a vital organ. The wound to the ogre’s liver is serious. The giant, nearly in a panic at being so quickly and effectively surrounded, begins to wonder if he will make it out of this alive. He carefully steps to the side, trying to put some distance between his body and these interlopers. In desperation and frustration, he lashes out at the elf who just wounded him. However, his swing is slow and clumsy, and Slyfen easily sidesteps the greatclub as it crashes to the ground. The wizard’s spell is loosed! A crackling purple ball comes into existence right next to the giant with a loud [i]fwump![/i] The purple force then bursts out in a radial pattern, encompassing the yellow ogre. With a Herculean effort, the ogre summons up all of his will power, and is able to barely overcome the effects of the sleep spell. Shaking his head and blinking to clear the cobwebs, he looks around at the invaders surrounding him, and prepares for another round of attacks. [i]OOC Notes: Belisha Casts [/i]sleep[i] as a full-round action Will take effect right before her turn next round Eolan Charges ogre, provoking AoO Ogre Greatclub hits (Eolan charging AC 14, Atk roll 7 + 8 = 15) 12 damage (Dmg roll [2d8+7] 4 + 1 + 7 = 12) [/i][b]Eolan reduced to 15 hp[/b] [i]Eolan Bastard sword one-handed charging power attack hits (AC 16, Atk roll 18 + 6 + 2 – 2 = 24) 5 damage (Dmg roll [1d10+2+2] 1 + 2 = 3) [/i][b]ogre reduced to 28 hp[/b] [i]AC reduced by 2 until beginning of next round Rufus Moves 30’ Bite misses (AC 16, Atk roll 5 + 2 = 7) Hardin Cannot charge (nearest space from which you could attack is occupied) Moves 20’ Moves 15’ Slyfen Changes hands with bow as free action Moves 20’ and draws rapier Rapier flanking sneak attack (AC 16, Atk roll 11 + 6 + 2 = 19) 10 damage (Dmg roll [1d6+2d6] 5 + 4 + 1 = 10) [/i][b]ogre reduced to 18 hp[/b] [i](also, one of the last two arrows you shot was lost, chance 50%, die results 43% and 100%) Ogre 5’ step Greatclub misses (Slyfen AC 16, Atk roll 4 + 8 = 12) Sleep spell Will save succeeds (save DC 14, saving throw 18 + 1 = 19) BTW, just in case anyone was wondering, dice rolls are made with the html Dungeons & Dragons Dice Roller.[/i] :) [/QUOTE]
