(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Hriston]

Bible face-palms when she hears Cordit talking about turning into a giant ape but decides to hold her tongue.

Taking an interest in the houndsman’s whip, she tries to assess if it’s in good condition and whether it could be wielded by someone of her stature.

Taking an interest in the houndsman’s whip, she tries to assess if it’s in good condition and whether it could be wielded by someone of her stature.

The giant's whip was small enough that it would have been more akin to a crop to him, large as he was, but was more like a full-size (or slightly over-sized) whip to Bible. She felt that she ought to be able to wield it. It was woven with chord and wolf-hair, and enchanted with primal magic (the giant-rune for "obedience" was clearly visible among other lesser-known glyphs).

 

[Hriston]

"Thisk might end up bein' useful for somethin'," Bible says as she takes the whip down from the peg and attaches it to a loop on her belt.

"Now, that reminds me," she says as she takes a moment to remove a few torches from her backpack to offset the added weight, "we oughta tell the Prinsk about King Snurre's involvemenk when we're done here."

Nodding at Jack's suggestion, she readies Waythe and moves towards the door, saying, "I yam ready when you are, Valda my dear."

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Valda nods to Bible, drawing her sword.

 

[Hriston]

"Then let's you and me be quick," Bible says as she kicks open the door and barrels across the courtyard toward the nearest giant.

OOC: Bible takes the Dash action.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The doors to the outbuilding flew open, and Bible took the lead, rushing out. She felt the joy of battle flow through her, enhanced by her new greatsword, who cried out in a sound that was audible. It sounded something between a whoop of joy and a battle-cry, and the giants looked up, startled from their boredom.

GM: Begin Round One

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

OOC: Been busy the past couple days. Quinn would have cast polymorph on Cordit before we opened the door.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Whoo-hoo-gghhh! RWARW!" said Cordit as her body twisted and grew into a giant ape once more. As the doors were opened, she ducked under and followed Bible out to meet the giants.

 

[Hriston]

OOC: Am I correct to assume Bible's turn starts from the position on the map, rather than from the doorway? Also, because she's using Waythe, she's wearing her shield on her back, making her AC two points lower: Bible AC 18 HP 94/94 HD 10/10 PP16 2W 1/1 AS 1/1 Ind 1/1.

OOC: Yes, and excellent point.
