Moving forward, Sahrax sees that the wolf-that-is-Erevan is in trouble, the giant taking big swipes at it. With one hand the wizard tosses another meteorite at the giant, carefully placing the projectile to avoid harming Erevan, and with his other hand he casts another spell. Three bright arrow-shaped missiles of pure magical energy erupt from the hand and speed towards the giant, each impacting at the same time that similar magic from Sahrax' duplicates hit the swamp creature.

OOC: Move towards giant, cast Magic Missile (action), throw a Meteorite (bonus action).

[Radaceus]

The dwarf grumbles to himself, wanting to reciprocate on the insectiod, but stays on task, hurriedly continuing after the swamp giant and Erevan.

OOC: I think the HP is a copy paste error from prior to the last round. as Ungar is at 38/51 as well

Seeing that the ankheg is backing off, Lorelei immediately resumes the pursuit of the swamp giant, as soon as she is within range she will unleash two beams of Eldritch Blast again at the monster.


Lorelei 2018-08-06 0654 1d20+7+1d4;1d10+1d6 1D20+7+1D4 = [8]+7+[3] = 18
1D10+1D6 = [1]+[6] = 7
1D20+7+1D4 = [9]+7+[3] = 19
1D10+1D6 = [9]+[5] = 14
Eldritch blast (including Bless bonus), two beams, bonus Hex damage

OOC: I noticed you are still including Resistance on Lorelei but the cantrip automatically ended when she cast Hex because both require concentration. She hasn't had to roll any saving throw yet however so she never benefitted from Resistance.

How the hell the 13th Age banner got embedded in my post?

 

[EarlyBird]

Everan stalks the swamp giant and notices that the wounds it substantiated before are gone. The plant-like creatures mossy skin regrowing slowly before him.

Suddenly magical energy from out of the forest strike the creature seemingly everywhere. It let's out a high-pitched scream like some alien creature and looks to turn and run once more. Everan leaps and locks his jaws around the creatures ankle, worrying and ripping as he tries to bring the beast down.

Half turning the creature wails and the flanks of the wolf trying to beat it off. It wails and strikes and with a yelp the dire wolf lets go and falls to the forest floor. Quickly the creature retreats once more into the trees.

OOC: Swamp Giant has cover(+2 AC) from anyone more than 40' away from it.

[jonathonhawke]

As the giant bites and strikes at Erevan, the wolf's body shivers and reforms into the elf, just in time to get caught by another slam.

OOC: The first two attacks took the wolf down to 0 hp, forcing the change back. The third strike caught Erevan in his own shape. HP: 24/34

Erevan again takes the Dire Wolf's form rolls to his feet, and chases after the Giant.

OOC: Bonus action to WildShape (Wolf's hp back to 37), Action to Dash, 1/2 move to stand up, and 50' move to chase the Giant

 

[EarlyBird]

OOC: Sorry not well versed on wild shape, but that is a remarkable ability indeed. No need to Dash though. You could change (bonus), get up from prone and move 25' (move), and then attack (action). It only moved 30' so your new form 10'x10' would allow you to be in melee.

 

[jonathonhawke]

OOC: Then attack I shall

Erevan bites the Giant once more.
[roll0]
[roll1] plus knock prone (DC 13 Str save)

 

[JustinCase]

Seeing that he is falling behind on the others, Sahrax starts sprinting forward, not casting a new spell just yet. However, he flings another of the hovering meteorites at the creature, again trying to make sure he does not injure the wolf further.

The forest is starting to smell scorched by now from the magical fire, but the elf ignores it until the giant is defeated.

OOC: Move forward, Dash (action), use one meteorite (bonus action). Melf's Minute Meteorites: [roll0] fire damage on failed Dex save, half upon succeeding [sblock=Ministats]AC:15, HP:19/19, HD 5/5, Portent: 17, 18; AR:1/1, mage armor, mirror image, concentration (Melf's Minute Meteors) Cantrips known (4+racial): Chill Touch, Fire Bolt, Message (racial), Minor Illusion, Toll The Dead Spells prepared (9): Detect Magic (concentration), Ice Knife, Mage Armor, Magic Missile; Invisibility (concentration), Mind Spike, Mirror Image; Clearvoyance (concentration), Melf's Minute Meteors (concentration) Spell slots used: - Level 1st: 3/4 - Level 2nd: 1/3 - Level 3rd: 1/2 [/sblock]

OOC: If any of you roll poorly, feel free to use Sahrax' Portents for today (a 17 and 18) instead of your d20 roll. [MENTION=6810779]jonathonhawke[/MENTION] Perhaps you could use a 17?

Round 0

Tassarion raced through the trees after Erevan and the giant. He pulled an arrow and whispered magic into it. Then he put it into his bow and fired. He didn’t bother aiming. The magic would find his target, though the second arrow that followed was more mundane.

OOC: Why, thank you, good sir. I believe I will.

 

[Radaceus]

Ungar strains to keep a visual on the melee ahead. Signalling his spiritual weapon onward to its mark as he forces his stumpy legs to propel his stout frame to the action.

OOC: I'm not sure how far the edge of the Plant Growth is yet (set 30' behind giant on round 1, 100' radius, perimeter approx 70' ahead of giant...perhaps less if it careened off its course), but the Swamp giant was restricted to 1/4 movement, is the creature moving faster than the Spear and Ungar? previous round Spear moved up 20' from 70' and starting this round it is losing ground at 80'? Also Ungar dashed 50' to close from 90' but is only 10' closer this round at 80'...asking for a friend

[Li Shenron]

If nothing changes in the battle situation, Lorelei keeps going with the same tactic i.e. following the swamp monster at a safe distance and directing her Eldritch Blast at it:

217192 Lorelei 2018-09-07 07:58:16
1d20+7+1d4;1d10+1d6

1D20+7+1D4 = [11]+7+[3] = 21 att
1D10+1D6 = [1]+[3] = 4 dmg
1D20+7+1D4 = [9]+7+[2] = 18 att
1D10+1D6 = [2]+[2] = 4 dmg

Two beams of Eldritch blast (including Bless bonus), force damage + bonus Hex damage

Every time I see one of his games bumped up I am filled with hope... but alas no

I'm in three of his games.
