[Tellerian Hawke]

As the Giantess maids start to rise, Thallok, Duncan, and the others begin to clobber them, trying to ensure that they do not make it to a standing position!

GM: Duncan Dropping 2 points into Combat Expertise and attacks the prone rising giantess M1. Attack Roll (6)+15=21 Damage 1d8+7 (7)+9= 16 Travis Dropping 1 points into Combat Expertise and attacks the prone rising giantess M1. Attack Roll (5)+10=15 Damage 1d8+4 (4)+6= 10 Lenny Dropping 1 points into Combat Expertise and attacks the prone rising giantess M2. Attack Roll (13)+10=23. Damage 2d4+4 (8)+6= 14 Thallok: first roll was 35, confirmation for crit was not confirmed. Damage from that roll was 12. vs. M1. Koralynn: vs. M1: (11) = Miss.

Both Giantesses manage to stand, although Snoggrella takes several brutal wounds as she does so! She is in HORRIBLE condition!

Lenny uses his axe to chop Greenmuggella in the left thigh as she is rising, giving her a nasty gash!

In her excitement, Koralynn mis-judges her swing against Snoggrella, and achieves only an insignificant, glancing blow!

GM: Snoggrella has taken a total of 96 pts. of damage. Greenmuggella has taken a total of 46 pts. of damage.

As Snoggrella gets to her feet, she snarls at Sir Duncan, as she brings her massive rolling pin to bear!

GM: Duncan AC 21 Base +2 Combat Expertise +1 Ebony +2 Shield Wall Total AC: 26 Snoggrella: (19) Miss

Sir Duncan is expecting the blow, and brings his shield up to not only block it, but to change the direction of the blow, deflecting it harmlessly away from him.

Greenmuggella growls at Lenny, who gave her the nasty gash, and attempts to break his skull open!

GM: Lenny Base AC: 18 Combat Expertise: +1 Ebony: +1 Shield Wall: +2 Total AC: 22 Greenmuggella: (15) Miss

Lenny is also expecting the blow, and shouts, "WHOOP! HOO-AHH!" as he sidesteps into the Shield Wall, turtling up, and allowing the overlapping shields to absorb the blow! Lenny smiles with satisfaction as he notices the effectiveness of his group's formation.

Lenny says to Travis, "Priority Target to your left! LEFT FACE!"

Travis replies, "Priority Target Left! HOO-AHH!"

Hill Giant #6 continues to bleed out.

Hill Giant #4 follows his commander, heading South down the Western Hallway.

​

RESPEN: It's your turn! Nosnra looks to be in REALLY BAD condition! What do you do?

For the sake of continuity, I am going to say that the following party members had the following amounts of arrows:

Tam = 2 Quivers
Thallok = 1 Quiver
Kleborn = 1 Quiver

It seems that I messed up; Sylvar shouldn't have the Elven Arrows on him. So I will say that the arrows had been split differently; instead of two quivers, Tam-Tam is only carrying one; that makes sense anyway, since he's a little guy.

Elven Arrows Remaining (Tam): [16] Fired so far: 8 (8 remaining); have not checked for retrieval.
Elven Arrows Remaining (Thallok): [20] Fired so far: 0

[Tellerian Hawke]

Posted on behalf of Respen (email submission)

~ Filthy place. Filthy inhabitants. ~

Respen is disgusted by the trophy room. He never hunted for trophies. He certainly had hunted for sport in the past, but he never had much use for trophies.

It always seemed macabre and vain to him. He had encountered giants before, but not like these cretins. The stone giants to the west of the Enllaves sent representatives to his uncle’s funeral. They were a dignified people. Small in number, but large in heart and hope. This rabble was a foul and revolting lot.

Surveying the battle at either end of the trophy room, the irony of the giants being the hunted produces a wry smile. The lightning bolt from the south startles him, the crackle of thunder and the smell of ozone overwhelm his senses for an instant. He turns his attention toward the south. Seeing the struggling Nosnra reeling from successive blows from Kleborn and Vale, Respen resolves to end this particular threat. Without saying a word, he sprints toward Vale, notching his bow, and slides with arrow ready next to Vale, 25-30 feet from Nosnra and one of the stone elders.

“Adieu géant,” he says as he releases the arrows; it is the last thing Nosnra sees, and he is dead before his head hits the ground. The arrow sticks shaft deep into his right eye, breaking his cheekbone, gouging his eye, lacerating his ear canal, and burying itself deep into his brain. The puncture leaves little blood as it pools internally. To Vale and Kleborn, as well as the giants in the room, the visual and auditory effect is instantaneous. There is no confusion; the hill giant king is very dead.

Before Nosnra’s head hits the ground, Respen releases his second attack against the stone giant closest to him (S2). The arrow also strikes home with a “snikt” sound, piercing the stone giant long-ways in his forearm like an elongated splinter.

OOC: Respen moves 35 ft to space R8 and attacks twice: 1st attack on Nosnra: Attack is Critical Hit (roll 36; confirm w/24); 38 points damage; 2nd attack on Stone Giant Elder (S2) (roll 29) 17 points of damage

[sblock=If you speak Elvish] Goodbye giant. [/sblock]

GM: +1,000 xp to Respen, for the spectacular, critical, bow shot which ended Chief Nosnra's reign of terror!

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Vulka Warns The Party!

Respen moves up, and makes a spectacular bow shot, catching Nosnra squarely in his right eye!

​

GM: Nosnra has taken a total of 167 points of damage. Nosnra is killed! (-18 Hit Points)

As the Hill Giant Chief topples to the ground, his wife, the Priestess Vulka, wails in agony!

Vulka says, "Немає! Мій коханий Носнра! Усі ви платите за те, що ти зробив цього дня! Лорд нагородить своїх вірних слуг перемогою навіть у смерті!"

[sblock=if you speak Giant]"No! My beloved Nosnra! You shall all pay for what you have wrought this day! Lolth rewards her loyal servants with victory, even in death!"[/sblock]

​

Nelvandra sneers at Snoggrella, and says, "Be still, witch!" as she invokes a spell!

Two, searing motes of light speed toward the ailing Giantess, slamming into her with a modicum of deadly force! Somehow, likely through sheer force of will, Snoggrella remains standing, despite the immense pain caused by Nelvandra's spell!

GM: Nelvandra casts Magic Missile. Snoggrella takes 5 points of damage. Snoggrella has taken a total of 101 points of damage. Snoggrella is trembling, teetering on the edge of collapse!

Prince Kraven, sensing that things are very quickly going awry, spits in anger, and then charges South down the hallway at full speed, moving impossibly fast! He quickly passes up his slower-moving colleagues (H3 & H4) and disappears from view!

GM: Prince Kraven base move: 40 ft. Pursuit movement (x4 Run): 160 ft. Kraven moves South at pursuit speed, opening the door at Area #1 as part of his move action. Prince Kraven is now in Room #1, along with the Ogre Sous Chef and the Mysterious Someone.

GM: Move Action: Glimval retrieves scroll from pouch. Standard Action: Glimval activates a spell scroll. Caster level check: (vs. DC 10) (21) (Success) Haste Action: Glimval does something else.

In the room to the North, the big Drow invokes a scroll! A Wall of Stone suddenly appears, blocking off access to the Northern room, as it melds into the load-bearing, Northern wall! You hear his muffled shouts to his comrades, as they all do things and move around. Their exact actions are uncertain.

The Troll does something.

The Beautiful Giantess does something.

​

DEWYDD: It's Your Turn! Kraven has run off to the South! The gaps in the stone wall to the North have been filled in with a spell! What do you do?

[Diarmadhim]

I howl with laughter, "Kraven's CRAVEN! Look at him run! What a fitting name!" My mirth quickly subsides though and I give chase after Kraven. Upon seeing that he has linked up with two more giants, I shrug and instead continue further south down the main entrance hallway to determine what all of the ruckus is.

OOC: 23 Sense Motive check - requested by DM

GM: DM NOTE: Dewydd surmises that Kraven probably isn't fleeing---he's trying to circumnavigate around the Main Feast Hall, in order to avoid all of the spells. By heading South along the Western Hallway, he probably hopes to turn East at some point. That would bring him in the party's direction, and also in the direction of the ruckus near the entrance. Dewydd thinks that by heading South from the Main Feast Hall, down the Grand Hallway, he will probably meet up with Kraven, eventually. And it's a better idea than running by the other two Giants, and giving them a free swipe each.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

The Grand Hallway and the Entry Foyer: SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

Dewydd flies to over to the Western Hallway, at first intending to pursue Kraven directly, but changes his mind when he sees that he will need to fly directly past the other two Hill Giants (H3 & H4); he then reverses direction, and moves South through the Main Feast Hall, into the Grand Hallway, hoping that this path will intersect with Kraven's.

GM: Base movement when Flying: 60 ft. With Haste bonus: 90 ft. You cannot run while Flying. Therefore, instead of pursuit (x4) movement, Dewydd must rely instead upon double move. Double Move = 180 ft. DM NOTE: (This is going to be an OTTER rule variant): when flying, there is no extra cost for diagonal movement.

GM: It will take Dewydd 85 ft. worth of movement to reach the Western Hallway, and notice the straggling Hill Giants. Starting from that position, he heads back into the Feast Hall at a Southward slant. 60 more feet worth of movement will put Dewydd at the bottom-most portion of the main battle map, in the middle of the Grand Hallway. Dewydd will have 35 ft. worth of movement remaining. Dewydd will not have enough movement to reach the double doors at the end of the Grand Hallway; he will end up being about 30 feet short. However, the doors are slightly ajar, and being this close, Dewydd can see and hear much better.

As Dewydd moves closer to the end of the Grand Hallway, approaching the Entry Foyer, he notices that one of the double doors is askew enough for him to peer into the room...

In the entry foyer, Dewydd notices the stairway that leads up, into the watchtower, and a huge gong on the South wall...

Littering the room are the corpses of 6 Hill Giants and 2 Ogres!

Fighting tooth and claw with the Sous Chef (and obviously winning) is a HUGE Gold Dragon!

​

The Dragon looks to be about 18 feet in length, from nose to tail, although it is standing on its hind legs, coiled up like some massive snake. Its head hangs about 10 feet in the air, slightly above that of the Ogre Sous Chef; your guess would be that this Dragon is extremely young, to be so small, but judging by its deadly wake, it is still quite dangerous, and extremely deadly.

The Dragon is not unblemished, however; vanquishing this many foes has taken a toll, and the Dragon wears many bruises, scrapes, and gashes. It still has a lot of fight left in it, but you can tell that it will not be able to continue this way indefinitely.

​

Somewhere out of Dewydd's line of sight, a voice shouts out in the Draconic tongue! It sounds like Prince Kraven's voice!

Kraven says, "Itaque paulo Collin, video te relinquo vobis nidulo crevit satis fortis. Ubi est adipem, deformis mater tua? Turci occidere parum vobis est ut vix operae pretium erat, quia parum quod opes vos have verisimile est in mammam scriptor servatione. Adhuc, alterum occidere te erit percutiens adversus eam! Tulit vita soror mea, ut non possit facere ad minus accipere in vita eius filius reditus!"

[sblock=If you speak Draconic]"So, little Collin, I see you've grown brave enough to leave your little nest. Where is that fat, ugly mother of yours? Killing a little turd like you is hardly worth the effort, because what little wealth you do have is probably in mommy's keeping. Still, killing you will be another strike against her! She took the life of my sister, so the least I can do is take the life of her son in return!"[/sblock]

In the Eastern Hallway, Koralynn attacks Snoggrella, chopping viciously at her with the Hand Axe that Dewydd lent her!

GM: Attack Roll: 13 (Miss)

Although the blow connects, it is not solid enough to penetrate the thick, leathery hide of the Giantess. Snoggrella sneers at Koralynn with mocking contempt!

TAM-TAM: It's your turn! There are no foes left in the main Feast Hall; the four remaining Hill Giants do not look as if they plan to move any time soon. Dewydd has moved down the Grand Hallway to the South, and looks intent upon continuing! You can't be sure, but you think you hear Kraven's voice to the South, shouting in an unknown tongue! What do you do?

[Waynan]

Tam curses under his breath, "Feck and Gefahl!", as he sees Dewydd fly down the south, great hallway. Not being dim-witted, Tam can guess that Dewydd is trying to catch Kraven. He really wanted to save the halfling cutie; but, there was absolutely no way he could reach her to help, even with his Jump spell. After he had tried it, he may have been able to have cut her loose, but they would both simply crash to the ground, the magically spiked ground, and come to a pointless and nasty end. He was going to have to trust that these remaining giants who had surrendered were not going to go back on their word. Pretty sketchy considering that they were flesh-eating creatures.

It couldn't be helped, Tam had to see this battle to the end, no matter where it migrated to.

Tam takes the quickest way around the fire pit and drops to the clear space at the south end and takes the small five foot jump with relative ease. He then tries a good running start and leaps once more, using the full power of the potion to propel him further than he could run in the same amount of time.

Though far behind Dewydd, Tam was in hot pursuit of this villainous giant --- Kraven.

GM: Tam, retrieving the potion and un-stoppering it is a Move Action. Drinking the potion / causing it to activate is a Standard Action. If you drink the potion this round, you won't be able to move. However, I have looked at the map, and there really isn't a need for the potion at this point. Despite the fact that you, the player, were uncertain about this, your character would know better. Therefore, I am amending your action (see resolution post below) to allow you to run after Dewydd, which was your character's original intention in the first place.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Tam Follows Dewydd Into Danger!

Tam gets a running start, leaping down from the fire pit, and launching himself over the spikes!

GM: In the map below ("Tam's Jump" Spoiler Tab), the pink squares indicate the path of your run, for a distance of 20 ft. The "X" indicates the change in elevation, when you come off the lip of the fire pit, onto the floor. You will need to make a Balance check, DC 10, to avoid falling. (12) = Success. You will jump at the end of your run. You need to cover a distance of 5 feet in order to avoid the spikes. The base DC for that jump will be DC 5. Changing the angle of your jump slightly will increase the DC by 5. (Total DC: 10) Jump check: (17) = Success. Distance covered: 12 ft. (Round down to 10.) = 2 squares. The black square indicates the square in which you landed. Your jump was made as part of your first move action. That means that you're now in the clear, and may move an additional 20 ft. (i.e., you may take your second move action.) Your second move will put you 15 feet into the Grand Hallway. You're still behind Dewydd, but you're catching up.

[sblock=Tam's Jump]

​

[/sblock]

GM: Tam's position on the new map, after completing his second move:

​

LATHIR: It's Your Turn! What do you do?

 

[MacConnell]

Lathir looks to the far edges of the room where the real action is still at play, quickly determining a course of action.

~I hope I do not crowd this situation from better fighters.~ He thinks to himself.

Already having spear in hand, Lathir moves toward Thallok's side to attempt to thrust it into the giantess there.

OOC: base roll 1d20 = 9, at work... out of time

 

[Sylvar B.]

Sylvar fires on Snoggerella and overgrown galley wench next to her.

OOC: hit rolls...20,31,32...damage rolls 8, 3,12

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Lathir charges Greenmuggella, and sticks her in the right thigh with his spear!

GM: 13+9 = 22 (Hit) Damage: 12 pts.

Greeny wails in pain, and screams out to Snoggrella: "Oh, Annem! Yardım etsin!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"Oh, Momma! Help me!"[/sblock]

Snoggrella turns to her wounded daughter, about to say something, but her speech is cut short; Sylvar launches an arrow at her, which hits her high; he was aiming for the center of her chest, but instead, the arrow catches her in the throat, dropping her like a sack of flour. She clutches at her throat with real panic in her eyes as she goes down, and her world fades to black.

GM: Attack #1: (20) Hit; 8 Damage. [Snoggrella goes down! -7, Dying] Attack #2: (31) Hit; 3 Damage. Attack #3: (32) Hit; 12 Damage.

Sylvar does not hesitate to target the second Giantess; his last two arrows strike her with devastating results! The first arrow thuds into the same thigh that Lathir pierced, while the second arrow sinks to the shaft in her abdomen! Greeny wails in pain once more!

Greeny screams out to Sylvar: "Lanet olsun, lahana yiyen! Bu serseri sırıtışını pis yüzünden sileceğim!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"Damn you, cabbage eater! I'll wipe that smug grin right off your puny face!"[/sblock]

Vulka moves to the doorway of her bedroom as this is happening, and swings the door open wider, growling in anger!

GM: Vulka moves 10 ft., and moves the door out of her way as part of that move action.

GM: All three nearby combatants (Respen, Vale, and Kleborn) have stoked the fires of Vulka's anger during the last 48 seconds (the entire length of this battle so far; and of those, she is most angry at (59%) Respen, for delivering the killing blow to her husband.) Vulka casts defensively, so as not to provoke an Attack of Opportunity from Kleborn: (32) = Success (vs. DC 19.) Vulka casts Unholy Blight. She centers it on Respen. Alignments: Vale & Kleborn: Chaotic Good Respen: Chaotic Neutral Vulka has the EVIL domain, and casts as 1 level higher (8th); thus, her spell damage is 4d8. Kleborn, Vale, and Respen need to make Will saves, DC 17. Kleborn and Vale: If you fail, you will each take 23 pts. of damage. That is enough to put Vale at -8!!! Those that fail are sickened for 1 round. If you make your save, you will take 11 pts. of damage. (Which means Vale will have taken a total of 60 damage! Of his current total of 63!) Those that make their saves are not sickened. Respen: If you fail your save, you will take 11 pts. of damage. If you make your save, you will take 5 pts. of damage. In any event, you are not sickened. Results: Respen: Saved (5 pts.) Vale: Failed (23 pts.) Vale is at -9, and dying. Kleborn: (15) Failed (23 pts.)

Vulka roars in anger, as she eyes Respen: "Вмираєш, ти брудний капустник!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"Die, you filthy cabbage eater!"[/sblock]

Vulka raises her hand, pointing at Respen, releasing a cold, cloying miasma of greasy darkness, which envelopes him and his friends, sucking the life force out of each of them!

Kleborn and Vale take the worst of it; the evil miasma sucks the will to live right out of them. Kleborn feels as if a heavy weight is on his chest, and finds it difficult to breathe. His head feels as if it were on fire, as he experiences ten times the pain of the worst migraine that he had ever previously endured!

GM: Kleborn is Sickened.

Still reeling from the Lightning Bolt, the black, sinister fog is too much for Vale; he collapses in a heap on the ground, his life-force swiftly ebbing away!

​

Duncan and Co: It's your turn! What do you do?

Doing Things In Room #1: "Collin" The Gold Dragon, Sous Chef Ogre #2, Prince Kraven

(on 12-16-2017, Chapter 4 Thread, pp. 27, reply #270)

For the sake of continuity, I am going to say that the following party members had the following amounts of arrows:

Tam = 2 Quivers
Thallok = 1 Quiver
Kleborn = 1 Quiver

It seems that I messed up; Sylvar shouldn't have the Elven Arrows on him. So I will say that the arrows had been split differently; instead of two quivers, Tam-Tam is only carrying one; that makes sense anyway, since he's a little guy.

Elven Arrows Remaining (Tam): [16] Fired so far: 8 (8 remaining); have not checked for retrieval.
Elven Arrows Remaining (Thallok): [20] Fired so far: 0
Elven Arrows Remaining (Kleborn): [20] Fired so far: 0

:: Surrounding The Giantess ::

Duncan, Ebony, Travis & Leonard
:: Surrounding The Giantess ::



After making eye contact with the she-Dwarf to reinforce that they are indeed standing with her, Ebony addresses the twins in her sing song tone.

"Travis make a hole, but be wary your footing." ( Switches her secondary aura from granting a bonus vs Attacks Of Opportunity to granting a bonus to reflex saves. ) "There's oil on the ground in the place that I'm looking."

She then coils into a slight crouch ready to step forward and attack as soon as Travis makes way.

The twins take advantage of Thallok's flanking position and unleash a mad flurry of chops and shield bashes to wail on the remaining maid.

Travis then takes a cautious step to the northeast to try and clear a space for Ebony. He encounters the left over grease spell. causing him to step lightly before coming to a stop.

Ebony seizes the moment, stepping in to fill the gap in the shield wall. She launches a series of shorts stabs at the giantess.

With all of that Done, Sir Duncan moves in around Lenny's flank, vaulting over the grease covered floor. The Giantess takes a swipe at him with her rolling pin as he does so, but he is too quick, and she misses. Sticking the landing he repeats Ebony's stabbing attack pattern.

GM: Since you thought the Giantess was prone, and I didn't want to make you have to come back and edit, I'm giving you the missed AoO as a freebie. Also: I rolled just for giggles; she would have hit ya. Next time, please do not assume something critical like the prone position of an enemy. Double check with me via LINE chat first.

The foursome have now put their shield wall back together with everyone engaged on target. All without disrupting the attacks of the Dwarven lass.

During his attack pattern Duncan addresses Thallok and Lathir.

"Your companions are scattered, & the way out is clear.

Are we going in for the rescue or making our exit here?"

Duncan grinned at having made the Ryhme and keeping their chant going.

(( Note: If the giantess goes down before all the attacks can be resolved, they'd have spent any remaining attack actions on the giants anyway to make sure they stayed down. ))
[sblock=Order of actions in game terms]
Ebony, switcher her aura, then readied for 5 foot step from L24 to M23 till after Lenny moved out of the way. After he moved she stepped in and attacked the giant with her sword.
Sword 1d20+16 11(27) Damage 1d8+6 4(10)

Lenny used a full attack action Axe+Shield then 5-foot stepped from M23 to N24.

The Giantess Maids Breathe Their Last!

Duncan, Ebony, Lenny, and Travis are a whirlwind of cooperative combat, creating the perfect storm of slashes, stabs, feints, and bashes, raining death down upon the out-matched kitchen maid.

GM: Reflex Save DC for Grease spell: 14. Balance check: DC 10. Ebony: (26) Hit; 10 damage. Lenny: (26,24) Hit, Hit; 12 damage. Lenny made his Balance check and Reflex save. Travis: (13, 20) Miss, Hit: 9 damage. Duncan: (26) Hit; 9 damage. Duncan made his Balance check and Reflex save. DAMAGE TOTAL: 10+12+9+9 = 40 pts. damage.

GM: Greeny has taken a total of 113 pts. of damage. Greeny goes down! [-11, Dead.]

It is Travis' axe blow that puts her under, a high, sideways slash that hits her lower abdomen, slicing open her belly, causing her to gush blood and guts all over her attacker. As she collapses to the ground, Duncan stabs her in the throat, making sure that she will not recover!

In the kitchen, the remaining Dire Wolves silence the last Orc Servant forever! Yips of victory and howls of delight can be heard, as the wolves tear the bodies apart, and begin feeding on their hard-won prize!

Kurok and Kragg both turn their attention to Respen! Kragg says, "Bu gün bizim lahana yiyen yiğitliğimiz adil kadın dilekçemiz!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"It is our fair lady's wish that you die this day, cabbage eater!"[/sblock]

Both Giants launch large rocks at Respen, but they severely underestimate the mage's magical protections; both rocks are harmlessly deflected by the invisible shield that emanates from Respen's bow.

[redraider629]

Thallok sees Vale going down, and remembers what the axe told Vale about healing him. He realizes that he can help out the dwarf. He runs as fast as he can to the doorway next to Kleborn, stands over the axe and sees Vulka. He can't help himself, he decides to get a quick strike on her as he stares directly in her eyes. As he is striking he says to her in giant, "Kızma, yakında değersiz kocanla geri döneceksin."

[sblock=if you speak giant]Don't be angry, you will be back with your worthless husband soon enough.[/sblock]

OOC: Thallok will utilize battle leaders charge from an Iron Guards Glare stance. Attack=33, 15 for crit confirmation failed Damage=14+10 additional points of damage from the strike

OOC: Edit: forgot to add Smite Enemy and Chaos. Adds +2 to attack, and +7 to damage. 31 total damage.

He then picks up the axe, turns it on its flat side, and drops it on Vale's breast plate.

"There you go my friend"

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Thallok's Grim Charge!

Thallok gets a grim and determined look on his face, as he glares angrily at Vulka, and charges her with all of his fury!

GM: Base move rate: 30'; Move rate w/ Haste: 60'; Therefore, charging distance = 120'. Distance to Vulka: 85' (well within charging distance.) Swift Action: Invoke IRON GUARD'S GLARE fighting stance. Standard Action: Battle Leader's Charge vs. Vulka. Haste Action: Pick up Vale's axe in the adjacent square. (R6) Free Action: Turn the axe flat and drop it in the adjacent square (S7) onto Vale's breastplate. Picking the axe up DOES NOT provoke an Attack of Opportunity from Vulka, because the corner of the door frame is in the way. Base Attack: +13 Charging: +2 Haste: +2 Inspire Courage: +2 Interfaith Blessing: +1 Smite Enemy: +2 Total Attack Bonus: +23 Vulka's AC: 28 Plus partial cover: +2 Total AC: 30 Charge Attack: (33) Hits, possible crit; Confirmation = Base Roll 2 + 23 = 25, Not a crit. Sorry, dude. Damage: Base 14 pts. +2 from Inspire Courage. Vulka is Neutral Evil, not Chaotic, therefore, Smite Chaos (+7 Damage) does not apply. Sorry, dude. +10 from Battle Leader's Charge Total Damage: 26 pts. Still a really SOLID hit! Vulka has taken a total of 218 pts. of damage so far. Vulka is in DIRE STRAITS!

"...If the character is friendly, and is not flat-footed, and has not taken any other Immediate actions yet in the current round, he can take an immediate action to make a one-square adjustment, in order to step out of the way of his charging friend."

GM: A charge attack must be in a perfectly straight line. Lathir and Kleborn will both have to move out of Thallok's way. Vale is in Thallok's path also, but since he is prone, Thallok can simply step over him as he charges, by making a Balance check, DC 10. (18) = Success. Lathir is displaced five feet, to Square #Q23 Kleborn is displaced five feet, to Square #R6 Thallok ends up in the square formerly occupied by Kleborn (Square #S6)

[sblock=The Path of Thallok's Charge & Indication of Lathir's & Kleborn's Paths of Displacement]

[/sblock]

Lathir and Kleborn both hurriedly step out of Thallok's way, not wanting him to waste an ounce of his momentum!

Thallok rushes toward the towering Giantess, totally devoid of fear, and rather, driven by an intense righteousness, that the untrained eye would probably mistake for simple, uncontrolled anger.

Thallok slices Vulka across her abdomen, making almost the same cut that Travis made against the Giantess Maid, but the exquisite Drow-made mail shirt saves Vulka from a similar fate! However, Thallok still manages to cut through the mesh, drawing blood and ire from the Giantess!

While Vulka is distracted by the attack, Thallok quickly picks up Valoran (the sentient axe) and turns it flat; he then drops it squarely onto Vale's breastplate, knowing that the axe will be able to heal its master, as long as it is able to touch him!

Valoran squawks happily, in the Common tongue: "Thank ye, lad! Ha ha! Never thought I'd be thanking a bleedin' Orc!"

​

Hill Giants 9, 18, 10, and 13 remain where they are, unmoving, hoping to survive this harrowing ordeal!

Hill Giants 12 & 15 continue to bleed out where they lie.

In the front foyer, Collin brings tooth and claw to bear against the remaining Sous Chef!

GM: Collin continues to call 10 points of Power Attack. Bite (23); Hit. Damage = 26 Claw (19); Hit. Damage = 22 Claw (31); Hit. Damage = 17 Wing (32); Hit. Damage = 19 Wing (33); Hit. Damage = 17 Tail Slap (16; Natural 1); Miss Total Damage: 101 pts. The Sous Chef has taken a total of 135 pts. of damage. The Sous Chef is killed! [-40, DEAD DEAD DEAD.]

The Sous Chef is no match for the angry Dragon! Collin proceeds to tear the Ogre limb from limb, biting, ripping, rending, and smashing, all the while, the Ogre screaming in intense agony! The Ogre is finished before Collin's last two attacks, but the Dragon continues to maul him, in an effort to ensure his complete mortality!

Collin snaps angrily to Kraven, "Deinde te, amans lupum!"

Doing Things In Room #1: "Collin" The Gold Dragon, Prince Kraven

(on 12-16-2017, Chapter 4 Thread, pp. 27, reply #270)

For the sake of continuity, I am going to say that the following party members had the following amounts of arrows:

Tam = 2 Quivers
Thallok = 1 Quiver
Kleborn = 1 Quiver

It seems that I messed up; Sylvar shouldn't have the Elven Arrows on him. So I will say that the arrows had been split differently; instead of two quivers, Tam-Tam is only carrying one; that makes sense anyway, since he's a little guy.

Elven Arrows Remaining (Tam): [16] Fired so far: 8 (8 remaining); have not checked for retrieval.
Elven Arrows Remaining (Thallok): [20] Fired so far: 0
Elven Arrows Remaining (Kleborn): [20] Fired so far: 0
Elven Arrows Remaining (Sylvar): [20] Fired so far: 6 (14 remaining); have not checked for retrieval.

After jumping out of the charging Orc's way Kleborn steadies himself and readies for an attack. He feels that this is a good opportunity to finish off the priestess giant. Though he is not feeling well, and hurting a little from the spell, he strikes her with all that he has.

OOC: First attack=25 base Second attack=16 Haste attack=22 damage from first attack=18

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Kleborn's Savage Slash!

Kleborn is slightly off his normal pace, after having to dodge Thallok's charge; only one blow connects, but it is a good one! Kleborn rips through the chainmail legging of Vulka's Drow-made armor, slicing her on her right calf, leaving a savage, bloody gash!

GM: Vulka has taken a total of 236 points of damage so far! You are amazed that she is still standing! She is suffering from numerous wounds and burns!

The Hill Giant Commander runs full speed down the hallway, and manages to catch up to his leader, Kraven, thanks to the potion that he imbibed!

Valoran The Axe activates its healing power, and a surge of blue light washes over's Vale's inert form!

Vale coughs and sputters, as his eyes pop open!

GM: Vale is healed for 9 pts. of damage. As per our phone conversation, Vale takes immediate action!

Knowing that the corner of the door frame will give him the momentary cover that he needs, Vale stands up, heals himself, and moves to the corner of the hallway as quickly as he can!

GM: Standing up is a move action; since Vulka is partially covered by the doorway, you do NOT provoke an AoO from her; You sacrifice a third-level spell to cast Cure Serious Wounds: 18 pts. Casting doesn't provoke either, for the same reason. You then use your Haste action to move to the corner of the hallway.

[sblock=Valoran's Mental Message To Its Master]"Don't EVER pull a fool stunt like that again, laddie! NEVER put me down in the middle of a fight! Are ye DAFT?!? Hhrmmpph!"[/sblock]

​

At the other end of the hallway, Snoggrella continues to bleed out.

In the main Feast Hall, Hill Giant #6 continues to bleed out.

The elite, Hill Giant Honor Guard pulls an identical potion to the one that his commander had from his belt, and imbibes it! He then runs full speed down the hallway, nearly (but not quite) catching up to Kraven and The Commander!

GM: Both Hill Giants (3 & 4) are affected by Haste.

Respen's Smirking Revenge

~ Must put her down. ~

Respen moves quickly 10' to the west along the western wall of the trophy room, still skirmishing the two stone elders and Vulka to make himself a more difficult target.

OOC: Moves to square P8

His shots are tentative because of Kleborn and Thallok's engagement. She's severely wounded, and can be felled in short order.
Suddenly overcome with eagerness, he fires three arrows in a similar manner as his attack on Nosnra. All of them miss, flying into the back wall behind her.

OOC: Rolls 19,22, & 23 for ranged attack.

Respen says nothing, disappointed in his failure. Respen's smirking revenge.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

GM: Posted quickly from my phone, apologies for the crudity.

Nelvandra glides toward the Western wall, and casts her last Magic Missile spell at Vulka. Then she casually flits back to her starting position.

GM: Move Action: Move to Q20. Standard Action: Magic Missile (2d4+2) = 9 pts. damage. Haste Action: Move back to starting position. Vulka has taken a total of 245 pts. of damage so far! She is near to death!

The two bolts of light slam into the Giantess, causing her to bellow from the searing pain! The fact that she is still on her feet is a testiment to her immense endurance!

Kraven’s move is next! Stay tuned!

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Kraven Strikes Back!

Kraven drops his bow, drawing his Greatsword as he snarls and charges the Dragon!

GM: Free Action: Kraven drops his bow. Move Action: Draw his Greatsword as part of his Move Action. Standard Action: Charge attack. (+2 to hit, -2 to AC) Kraven calls 10 points of Power Attack. Attack Roll: (35); Hit. Damage = 47 pts! Kraven gets his Favored Enemy bonus (+4) vs. Gold Dragons. (51 total.) This is not quite 60 points (i.e., no need to check for Death By Massive Damage. Large threshold = 60 pts.) Collin has taken a total of 159 points of damage. Collin is GRIEVOUSLY wounded!

Kraven closes the distance in an instant, bringing his 2-handed sword down the front of the Dragon's chest! The magical blade easily rips through the young Dragon's scales, spilling precious blood, drawing a howl of agony from the young, heroic, over-confident wyrm!

Kraven says, "Postquam enim convertisti me interficere vos capitis animas vestras Im 'iens ut duo fratres, et matrem tuam, quoque! Ante mihi factum est ego autem aureum IV capitibus murus a me!"

[sblock=If you speak Draconic]"After I kill you, I'm going to hunt down your two brothers, and your mother, too! Before I am done, I will have 4 golden heads on my wall!"[/sblock]
