HEROES OF DYVERS CHAPTER 5

[redraider629]

OOC: Listen check 1d20+1=10 yikes, just made it.

Kleborn was about to join Thallok to the north, but then he faintly hears Vale. He looks back behind him, he could have sworn that he hear Vale say something about chief and prietess being there.

He see Respen running, and realizes he must have heard that correctly. He takes off towards Vales location, he quickly tries to catch up to where Vale is. The thought of killing the priestess or even the chief puts a smile on his face.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

The Party Splits Up!

Respen rushes to Vale's aid! Shortly thereafter, Kleborn follows suit!

Seeing this, Nelvandra decides to join them, but not before taking care of a small matter first.

GM: Nelvandra Base Attack: +4 Bless: +1 Inspire Courage: +2 Haste: +2 TOTAL: +9 Base Damage: +1 Inspire Courage: +2 TOTAL: +3 Drider Base AC: 17 Dex of 0: AC 10 Prone: AC 6 Nel's Attack Roll: (19) = Hits Damage: 4 pts. The Drider was at -8 to begin with. The Drider dies.

Nelvandra uses her Haste action to take a ruthless, parting stab at the dying Drider; her Mithral short sword easily pierces its thorax, tearing its lungs apart, ending its frail grasp on its life. The abomination disappears in a puff of smoke, its body returning to wherever it was summoned from.

Nelvandra spits, "Drider scum!" before sheathing her sword, and tearing down the hallway after her husband!

GM: Base Move: 30' Haste Bonus: (+30') Total Move: 60'

Nelvandra takes a double move (120') to catch up with Respen.

As this is happening, another Hill Giant, dressed in regal-looking Drow Chain armor, wearing purple, silk pants, strolls into view, moving almost casually.

He stops next to Hill Giant #4, and says, "What's all this raucous?" in the Common tongue!
Hill Giant #4 stares blankly, not having understood. The regal Hill Giant winks at Dewydd. He wears a Greatsword on his back, and a huge whip on his belt at his right hip, but he makes a move for neither of them. He simply whistles, the shrill whistle of a master calling out to his pack...

[Diarmadhim]

With a slight sigh, I resolve myself to buying the team time to finish the enemies to the east. "Tanıştığımıza memnun oldum. Sorun çözme konusunda sadece küçük bir anlaşmazlık yaşıyorduk. Baskınların durmasını ve hepinizin yeni bir yaprak çevirmesini istedik, bazı rakamlarınız bu fikirden memnun değildi. İkna edilmiş ... ikna edici." I state. I activate a charge on my belt, healing slightly, and continue to hover in my current position.

[SBLOCK=For those who speak Hill Giant]Pleased to meet you. We were just having a minor disagreement about problem resolution. We wanted the raids to stop and you all to turn over a new leaf, while some of your numbers were not happy with the idea. It's taken some... convincing.[/SBLOCK]

OOC: 1 charge for 2d8 healing - healed 11 points

Dewydd Heals Himself

Dewydd heals himself somewhat, and then prepares to move North...

However, he begins to feel the heat from Lathir's Fire Wall, and decides that moving there would NOT be a good course of action!

GM: Dewydd, if you wish to move somewhere else, let me know, and I will change it retroactively.

GM: DM NOTE: I have adjusted the Prince's position on the map, slightly. He is below Giant #4, instead of above him. The reason for this change is simply roleplaying; from his previous position, he would not have had line-of-sight to wink at Dewydd.

SUPPLEMENTAL POST: THE HALLWAY

GM: This is a supplemental post which shows the relative positions of most of the party members in relation to the Eastern Hallway. Supplemental Info: Tam's blades are in square D23.

​

 

[Waynan]

Tam, over his enamoring of the new allies, quickly takes in the situation. This new giant could be trouble, especially after the giant's whistling call.

Knowing there's no time to get his blades, Tam makes a snap decision. He reaches into the pouch where he keeps a Jump potion and drinks the contents from the phial.

As soon as the potion takes effect, Tam races around the surrendered giant (#18), races along the narrow strip between spell effects and leaps the 20 ft that is covered with spikes (blue square), angling his trajectory, hopefully enough, that he wouldn't slam into the fire pit, but merely glance off of it, at worst.

As soon as Tam lands, he grabs his bow and two arrows to have at the ready against this new threat.

 

[Sylvar B.]

Sylvar continues singing in order to maintain the buff. As he sings, he lets three arrows fly at the newcomer!

OOC: As per the DM's notes: Base Attack w/ Ranged: +13 Haste: +2 Bless: +1 Inspire Courage: +2 Elven Arrows: +1 TOTAL TO-HIT: +19 (Second Shot: +14) With Haste: Normal Attack: +19/+14 Haste Shot: +19 Range: Medium (-2) First Shot: 27 (Hit); Damage: 1d8+3 (+1 Enhanced, +2 Inspired) = 9 pts. Second Shot: 19 (Miss) Haste Shot: 34 (Hit); Damage: 1d8+3 (+1 Enhanced, +2 Inspired) = 8 pts.

 

[MacConnell]

With the divergence of the enemy from the room as well as his own party, Lathir is a bit unsure how best he should proceed. He decides to move northward to join Thallok. He can see by his facing where his attention lies, so when Lathir moves there, he know where to look.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

GM: DM NOTE: Starting a bardic music effect is a standard action. Some bardic music abilities require concentration, which means the bard must take a standard action each round to maintain the ability. Even while using bardic music that doesn’t require concentration, a bard cannot cast spells, activate magic items by spell completion (such as scrolls), or activate magic items by magic word (such as wands). Inspire Courage (Su): A bard with 3 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use song or poetics to inspire courage in his allies (including himself ), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. To be affected, an ally must be able to hear the bard sing. The effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the bard sing and for 5 rounds thereafter. Since this ability SPECIFICALLY mentions that the bard can affect himself, it logically follows that he can make melee or ranged attacks while singing. He simply needs to take his standard action to START singing on the first round, and then he can attack on the second and every following round thereafter. In this case, since Sylvar was already Hasted, he could have used his Haste action to make 1 attack on the round that he started singing. Remember that for future reference.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

The Battle Rages On!

Tam-Tam quaffs a potion, and leaps into the air!

GM: Base Jump: +4 Potion Enhancement: +10 Base Speed: 20 ft. / Haste Bonus: +30 = Speed: 50 ft. Speed Bonus To Jump: +8 (+4 per 10 ft. past 30) TOTAL: +22 Total Distance To Be Jumped: 30 ft. (DC: 30); Tam did not consider that his landing point was 10 ft. past the 20 ft. spike area. Roll: (28) Fail - But only by 2 pts. Jump distance = 25 feet cleared. Tam ends up 1 square short of where he wanted to be.

Lathir moves Northward, to stand next to Thallok. The Stone Giants repeat their demand, but continue to hold their attack, when Lathir fails to make any aggressive moves.

Sylvar continues to sing, while firing three arrows at the newly-arrived Hill Giant. Sylvar's first arrow sticks into the Giant's left thigh, drawing blood, but failing to penetrate very deeply.

Sylvar's second arrow skips off of the Giant's helm with a loud "bing!"

Sylvar's third arrow strikes the Giant in the chest, again, drawing blood, but once more, failing to inflict much more than a scratch.

GM: Total Damage: 17 pts.

The Hill Giant prince snarls in anger as his attention focuses upon Sylvar!

GM: DM NOTE: One thing I forgot to mention: the newcomer is wearing a purple, open-faced helm, with gold stars painted on it. It is obviously magical.

Elsewhere, Vulka does something.
Elsewhere, Nosnra does something.
