HEROES OF DYVERS CHAPTER 5

[Tellerian Hawke]

Nosnra Takes Flight!

As the flames from the Fire Wall continue to lick at him, Nosnra reaches down to his belt pouch, and pulls out a potion, hurriedly drinking the contents!

GM: Nosnra is burned by Lathir's Fire Wall spell: 2d6+11 = 17 Pts. Nosnra has taken a total of 129 Pts. Damage. Nosnra drinks a potion of Cure Critical Wounds! (3d8+7) = 25 Pts. Nosnra has taken a total of 104 Pts. Damage.

Nosnra runs forward in a panic, trying to escape the scorching flames! Each step is an exercise in excruciating pain!

GM: Normal Move: 40'; Armored Move 30'. Movement halved by Stone Spikes to 15'. Charge movement now equals 30' (rather than 60'.) Nosnra runs 20' through the Stone Spikes. (4d8) = 21 Pts. Nosnra has taken a total of 125 Pts. Damage. Nosnra leaps into the air: 25 Ft. Long Jump = DC 25 = (29) Success! Nosnra lands in a square occupied by Stone Spikes. Damage = 1d8 = 6 Pts. Nosnra has taken a total of 131 Pts. Damage. Reflex Save DC 20 = 18 = Fails. Legs severely injured; Half Move For 24 Hours.

Nosnra leaps into the air, hoping to land out of the area of painful Stone Spikes spell, but is dismayed to land among them once more!

It looks as if the Chief might be attempting to flee.

[Tellerian Hawke]

Elder Kanor winces in pain as the flames lick his body! In desperation, he turns to the wall behind him, and places his hand upon it! He is obviously trying to cast some sort of spell. However, the pain of his melting flesh overwhelms him, and he slumps to the ground, burning to death in a horrible fashion!

Elder Kurok, noticing Kanor's intent, also turns to the wall behind him, and places his hand upon it. The flames lick at him, as well, but he is in far better shape than his older brother. He concentrates momentarily, and a doorway appears in the stone wall! Elder Kurok steps through the doorway, and disappears from sight! He was last seen heading East, toward the right-hand side of the map.

Elder Kragg is not impressed; he waves his hand, as the Spike Stones around him flatten themselves out into harmless tiles! He then moves into position to attack Dewydd, placing himself in the corner of the room.

GM: Dewydd: Kragg moves casually through your threatened square! Dewydd's AoO: 7 (Miss.)

GM: Lathir's Wall of Fire burns Elder Kanor and Elder Kurok for (2d6+11) = 18 Pts. Elder Kanor has taken a total of 123 points of damage. [Elder Kanor: -4, Dying] Elder Kurok has taken a total of 47 points of damage. Elder Kurok Concentration Check: Continuous Damage: 10+(18/2) = 10+9 = DC: 19. Elder Kurok Concentration Check: (1d20+9) = 26 (Success) Elder Kurok uses his Stone Shape ability. Elder Kragg negates a 20 x 20 section of Vale's Stone Spikes.

Two of the Hill Giants decide to brave the spikes, and move toward the party!
One Giant (who was headed toward Dewydd) does not quite have the movement to do so.
Another Giant charges toward Thallok, leaping into the air, and coming within attack range!

GM: Thallok gets his delayed attack action FIRST.

GM: Placeholder for Giant's attack on Thallok.

Many of the Hill Giants who are seated at the tables on the opposite side of the room jump up onto the tables, in order to avoid the spikes, and begin to throw objects at party members! One Giant picks up a porcelain teapot, and the other Giants follow his lead! Breakable glass missiles are hurled at the party, although all of the party members manage to avoid receiving nasty cuts and scrapes, with the sole exception of Sylvar. Four party members are targeted by the Giants; Dewydd and Vale manage to dodge all of what is thrown at them, but Thallok doesn’t flinch. Instead, he allows his thick, red skin to bear the brunt of the attack, seemingly with purpose and intentionality; and when all is said and done, the party can see that the shattered dishware failed to make the slightest blemish on Thallok’s skin.

Thallok grins evilly at the pathetic Giants.

GM: H16 Moves through 5' worth of Spikes. Damage = (1d8) = 4 Pts. H18 Charges through 20' worth of Spikes, intent upon attacking Thallok! Damage = (4d8) = 16 Pts. H17 Charges through 20' worth of Spikes, and jumps forward 15 feet. Damage = (5d8) = 19 Pts. H19 Stand up on their table and begin to throw objects at the party. H20 Stand up on their table and begin to throw objects at the party. H21 Stand up on their table and begin to throw objects at the party. H8 - H15 Stand up on their table and begin to throw objects at the party.

Thallok is hit with something, he thinks it was glass. He barely feels the shattering of the glass as it hit his chest. He was not sure what it was, but when he looked down realized it must have been a teapot. He begins to laugh out loud, and then proclaims "A teapot!? Who throws a teapot? Come on Nancy, you have to do better than that." He then sees the giant who is approaching him and says, "Not so fast my friend." He then attacks the giant, all with a smile on his face. To the casual observer it appears Thallok is thoroughly enjoying himself.

OOC: Thallok will strike using Stone vise First Attack=17 Second attack=18 Haste attack=26 damage from first attack=11 damage from second attack=11 damage from third attack=11 extra damage from stone vise 1d6=6 total damage=39=

GM: Plus 1,000 xp. bonus for the making the DM almost spew his sparkling water all over the computer monitor, I laughed so hard.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Thallok brings his Falchion crashing down onto the Hill Giant's collarbone, in a grisly display of martial skill.

GM: To-Hit Roll vs. Giant #18: 17 (Hit) Damage: 11 pts. + Stone Vise (6) = 17 Pts. Save DC: 17 = (30) = Success; the Giant is not checked by the Stone Vise maneuver.

The Giant winces in pain, but takes the blow in stride, his leathery skin barely blemished by a blow that would have cleaved a normal man in half!

As the Giant is in mid-swing, bringing his massive fist down like the head of a sledgehammer, Thallok ripostes, stabbing the Giant in his left calf.

GM: To-Hit Roll: 18 (Hit) Damage: 11 Pts. The Giant has taken a total of 52 pts. of damage.

The riposte is right on target, piercing the tough hide of the Giant, leaving a nasty gash that allows blood to flow freely from the wound.

Lastly, Thallok withdraws his blade for a final chop to the Giant's left ankle, just as the Giant's fist makes contact.

GM: To-Hit Roll: 26 (Hit) Damage: 11 Pts. The Giant has taken a total of 63 points of damage.

Thallok's last blow is not as effective as he would have hoped, but he still manages to pierce the Giant's leathery skin, drawing blood, and causing the Giant considerable suffering. It is not a life-threatening wound, but it is a savage and painful one, one which draws much ire from the mighty Hill Giant!

GM: Thallok Base AC: 16 Interfaith Blessing: +1 Haste: +1 Partial Cover From Door: +2 Partial Cover From Column: +2 TOTAL AC: 22 Hill Giant Slam (1d20+15) = 23 (Hit) Damage: 1d4+7 = 9 pts. [Minus DR: 10 pts.] = Damage 0.

The Hill Giant pounds Thallok with his mighty fist, but the Orc simply flexes with the blow, moving with its momentum, and absorbing its force of impact. Thallok looks none-the-worse-for-wear, having been slammed by the Giant.

Thallok grins, and says, "Nancies, I say! All of ye! It's shameful how weak you big clods really are!"

The Ogre Guards will be attacking next! Stay tuned! Apologies for how long this is taking, my life has been quite hectic lately!

[Tellerian Hawke]

Three of the Ogre Guards take action, in the face of stiff opposition. None of them look panicked, although one of them does leave the battle. Two of the Ogres launch javelins toward Thallok, but the distance is too great, and they fall sadly short of their intended marks.

GM: Ogre #4 moves 2 squares through the Spike Stones, to a more tactical location. (2d8) = 8 pts. Ogre #5 moves to join Ogre #4. He does not move through any spiked squares. Ogre #8 opens the doors and moves 2 squares through the Spike Stones, and disappears out into the West-side hallway. (2d8) = 14 pts. He escapes, but at great cost, leaving a trail of bloody footprints behind him. Ogre #4 throws a Javelin at Thallok. (8) = Miss. Ogre #5 throws a Javelin at Thallok. (12) = Miss. Ogre #7 bleeds. [-9, Dying]

Tiny roars in defiance, and attacks the closest enemy, which just so happens to be Elmer.

GM: Tiny is burned by Lathir's Wall of Fire (2d4) = 3 Pts. Tiny moves 2 squares through the Spike Stones, and attacks Elmer. (2d8) = 11 Pts. Tiny has taken a total of 90 pts. damage. Attack vs. Elmer = (29) = Hit. Damage: 2d4+10 = 15 Pts.

In a stunning show of defiance, Tiny moves through both flames and spikes, at great personal cost, in order to reach his enemy. He brings a claw down upon poor Elmer, mauling him badly, creating a nasty, bloody wound. Elmer, however, is not down for the count just yet. Both animals are in grievous condition, and it will be a matter of luck as to which one kills the other.

As this is happening, the Hill Giant Commanders are taking action, albeit at the cost of suffering intense pain.

GM: Hill Giant #2 burned by Lathir's Wall of Fire (2d6+11) = 16 Pts. Hill Giant #3 burned by Lathir's Wall of Fire (2d6+11) = 18 Pts. Hill Giant #2 moves 2 squares through the Spike Stones (2d8) = 10 Pts. Hill Giant #3 moves 3 squares through the Spike Stones (3d8) = 14 Pts. Hill Giant #2 throws a Javelin at Dewydd. (15) = Miss. Hill Giant #3 throws a Javelin at Lathir. (9) = Miss.

Their fierce determination to escape the flames, and to brave the spikes, is admirable, but the pain proves to be too much of a distraction, and both Javelins fly far off course.

~ Pissy fellow. ~

Vale laughs heartily at Thallok's taunt as the teapots shatter against the open door near him. Not known for being particularly smart, Vale is impressed with the giants' creativity, even if their accuracy is more a function of how many of them there are and less how good they are. Thallok suffers several hits, but nary a shard cuts him. Vale sees the giant prince closing toward Dewydd, and he attempts to cut him off with a scroll spell. Vale removes the scroll from his bandoleer and in dwarven coughs the command words at the advancing cloud giant.

"By Clangeddin Silverbeard, I pray this works! "
"Jok eksil vrron!!!" The spell leaps off of the page as it dissolves into thin air, and in a whoosh of air springs toward the giant, collapsing on his face.

OOC: Vale uses his Command spell scroll, directed at Delliak. The Common translation, roughly speaking, is "Halt", Vale's intent is to simply halt Delliak through his next turn.

Vale spits at the giant in Delliak's native tongue, "You should be ashamed of yourself, boy. You, a regal giant, fraternizing with the likes of these hillbillies. I can smell their nasty on you from here!"

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Delliak's Disobedience!

Vale chants the incantation, activating the scroll!

GM: Command (1st Level Cleric Spell, requiring minimum 12 Wis to cast.) Base DC = 10 + 1 + 1 = DC: 12 Delliak, Will Save: (21) = Success Delliak does NOT obey the command.

Delliak smiles at Vale, and says, "Принаймні гігантські господарі гори не мають бороди, ти каламутний маленький ааф! Я зупинюся тільки після того, як у мене голови на обідній тарі!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"...At least the Hill Giant females don't have beards, you puny little oaf! I will halt only after I have your heads on my dinner plate!"[/sblock]

At this point, the Lead Ogre Chef says, "Grog, o korkağı kaçmaya bırak! Rube, o benim kurtlarımdan değil! Öldür onu! Orc haini halledeceğim!"

Ogre Sous Chef #2 charges 15 feet through the Spike Stones (3d8) = 7 pts. damage. Ogre Chef #1 charges 20 feet through the Spike Stones (4d8) = 22 pts. damage. Ogre Sous Chef #3 charges 20 feet through the Spike Stones (4d8) = 22 pts. damage. Ogre Sous Chef #2 attacks Hill Giant #16. Ogre Sous Chef #3 attacks Lathir. Ogre Chef #1 attacks Thallok.

As the Ogre Cooking Team pick up their cleavers and fly off the handle (pardon the pun) Sous Chef #3 (who is charging Lathir) passes within opportunity range of Tam-Tam!

Tam-Tam, make an attack with the following modifiers:

GM: Invisible Attacker: +2 Flanked (with Lathir): +2 Attacker Charging (-2 To AC) TOTAL: Tam-Tam, add +4 to your normal To-Hit roll, and try to hit an AC 11.

If you hit, add your Sneak Attack bonus to the damage.

The Ogre Cooking Team's Attacks Will Be Resolved AFTER Tam-Tam's Sneak Attack.

[Waynan]

Tam slips behind the Ogre threatening to encircle Lathir with the Giant. All that training in weapon finesse pays off as he makes a jabbing strike with his rapier at the back of the Ogres knee as it hits (16). Though not terribly deep, he hopes he may have hamstrung the brute and not just pissed him off.

GM: Tam, you had your stats figured wrong, so I re-rolled your stuff for ya, using your correct stats. To-Hit: 1d20+11 = 16 (Hit) Damage: 1d4 = 3 pts. Sneak Attack: 3d6 = 17 pts. TOTAL DAMAGE: 20 pts.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Resolution of Ogre Chefs' Attacks

As the Sous Chef rushes past Tam, the invisible Halfling manages to jab the Ogre in the back of his knee with his rapier; the Ogre's thick, leathery skin makes the blow less effective than Tam would have liked. Nevertheless, the blade pierces hide and sinew; this blow would have fell a normal man. But the Ogre is able to fight through the pain, and keep his momentum going, as he completes his charge attack against Lathir. Tam's blow does not stop the Ogre, but it does put a serious kink in his stride. The Ogre is now trailing copious amounts of blood behind him.

GM: The Ogre Sous Chef will have a -2 to hit, which will negate the +2 bonus granted by charging. Sous Chef #3 has now taken a total of 43 points of damage.

The Ogre Sous Chef (#3) has a strong sense of purpose, and will not be deterred; he brings his cleaver down on Lathir Wolf's back, biting into the fur, leaving a bloody gash.

GM: Sous Chef #3: Attack roll = (33) Hit Damage: 22 pts.

At the same time, the lead Chef (#1) attacks Thallok, apparently very angry to be fighting a should-be ally.

GM: Thallok: Base AC 16 Haste: +2 Partial Cover: +2 (Column) Partial Cover: +2 (Door) Inter-Faith Blessing: +1 TOTAL AC: 23 Chef #1: Attack roll = (23) Hit Damage: 22 pts. Minus damage reduction: (10) = 12 pts.

The Lead Chef brings his cleaver down on Thallok will all the might that his rage can muster, and is surprised to find that the grievous wound which he expected to deliver results in little more than a bad scrape. The cleaver hits Thallok on the shoulder, drawing blood, but it's a trickle, not a gush.

Meanwhile, the other Ogre Sous Chef (#2) charges Hill Giant #16, and attempts to trip him, saying, "Ne yapıyorsun? Nereye gittiğini düşünüyorsun? Geri gel ve senin şanını talep et! Beni öldürmeme izin verme!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"...What are you doing? Where do you think you're going? Come back and claim your glory! Don't make me kill you!"[/sblock]

GM: Ogre provokes an Attack of Opportunity from the "fleeing" Hill Giant. To-Hit Roll: (20) = Hit The Hill Giant backhands the Ogre for 9 pts. Non-Lethal damage. The Ogre attempts to trip the Hill Giant: 16 vs. 20 = Ogre Fails.

As the Ogre attempts to trip the Hill Giant, he is backhanded by the big brute for his trouble.

The Hill Giant looks at the Ogre Sous Chef incredulously, and says, "Ne yapıyorsun salak Ogre? Yerini unuttun mu Gong'u çalacak ve müttefiklerime uyaracağım!"

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"...What are you doing, you idiot Ogre? Have you forgotten your place? I am going to ring the gong and warn our allies!"[/sblock]


As this is happening, Sub-Chief Darris succumbs to the licking flames, crossing the veil, into the land of the dead!

GM: Fire Wall damage: 2d6+11 = 23 Pts. "Bleeding Out" damage = 1 pt. per round. Total Damage This Round: 24 Pts. Sub-Chief Darris: -29 [Dead.]

The Hill Giant Guards, who are the only Hill Giants who are actually ARMED and ARMORED, finally begin to move!

GM: Hill Giant #22 moves through 15 feet of spikes, into the hallway. It looks as if he is going to head North. (15 pts.) Hill Giant #4 is burned by the Wall of Fire: (2d4) = 8 pts. Damage. Hill Giant #4 charges through 25 feet of spikes, into the hallway. It looks as if he is going to head North. (28 pts.) Hill Giant #4 has taken a total of 44 pts. of damage. Hill Giant #5 is burned by the Wall of Fire: (2d4) = 4 pts. Hill Giant #5 panics, and tries to move away from the Wall of Fire; he forgets about the spikes, and it proves fatal. (7 pts.) Hill Giant #5 has taken a total of 107 pts. of damage. Hill Giant #5: [-5, Dying] Hill Giant #6 is burned by the Wall of Fire: (2d4) = 2 pts. Damage. Hill Giant #6 keeps a cool head, and attacks the nearest foe (Elmer); To-Hit: (30) Hit; 24 pts. of Damage. Elmer has taken a total of 49 pts. of damage. Elmer: [-12, Dead] Hill Giant #7 Calls 10 pts. of Power Attack, and charges Dewydd, attempting to sunder his weapon! (Hill Giants have the Improved Sunder feat, so this does NOT provoke an AoO.) Hill Giant #7: Base Attack +17, 10 pts. Power Attack = +7. Two Handed Weapon: +4. Large Size: +4. Hill Giant #7 Total Modifier: +15. Roll = (3+15) = 18. [Dewydd will need to contest this roll.] If Dewydd fails the roll, his weapon will take: 2d8+30 = 40 pts. damage.

Hill Giants #4 and #22 plow through the spikes, making it to the Western hallway!

Hill Giant #5 panics, and in his attempt to escape the flames of Lathir's second spell, falls victim to his first.

Hill Giant #6 brings his Greatsword down on Elmer, slicing through his backbone, burying the blade into his mid-section, nearly cutting him completely in two! Poor Elmer wails as his life force leaves him! The summoned creature then disappears in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a pool of blood to mark the spot where he was!

Hill Giant #7 says, "Bakalım kaçımız kırık bir kılıçla parçalayabilir, küçük kahraman!" as he charges Dewydd, attempting to sunder Dewydd's weapon!

[sblock=If you speak Giant]"...Let's see how many of us you can chop up with a broken sword, little hero!"[/sblock]

GM: Dewydd, make an opposed attack roll; you get a +4 bonus for wielding a two-handed weapon. If you do not beat an 18, then your weapon has been dealt 40 pts. of damage, and most likely has been sundered!

Current Positions of All Combatants:

​

The second round will begin with Respen's turn, as soon as Dewydd's sundering opposed roll has been resolved!

Resolution of Sunder Attempt vs. Dewydd

The Giant brings his blade down with all of his might, trying to destroy the weapon that Dewydd is holding, but at the last moment, Dewydd simply moves his blade out of the way, causing the Giant to miss. The massive Greatsword hits the ground HARD, throwing sparks everywhere!

GM: Giant's Roll: 18 vs. Dewydd's Roll: 30. The Giant's sundering attempt has failed.
