(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[FitzTheRuke]

@FitzTheRuke was the 23 damage Jack took from the last attack halved assuming he used Uncanny Dodge? I know it's a pain to remember that - I forget more often than not!

OOC: Nope! I tend to forget all the ways that characters can mitigate damage. Always feel free to remind me.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

So furious was Bible's attack with Waythe, that the armored hill giant fell to his knees and seemed that he would be hard-pressed to be able to stand again under his considerable weight.

Jack, who had moved with the impact of the stone disk so that he only had a limp, rather than a broken leg, hopped into the room and sent a quarrel into the ogress's eye. She stood for a moment, stunned, with her mouth agape, then she fell face-first onto the floor in front of Valda. Jack, still favoring the one leg, hopped back behind the dormitory doors, hoping the wall would provide some cover.

OOC: Ogress is dead. Armored Giant is at 1 HP and he's prone. I rolled two ones for him. He still needs putting down, but he's not likely to get back up.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

OOC: Sorry been busy with the holiday. Here is my Dex save. Dex save: 1d20+3 9 Which fails. I will also try to use my Cosmic Omens reaction to make one of the hits miss. Cosmic Omens Woe Result: 1d6 3 so I can reduce one of the attack rolls by 3. Not sure if that will negate any of the hits.

 

[Lidgar]

OOC: Bump...and Happy Holidays to all of you!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Who are we waiting on? I think @Shadowedeyes. Anyone else?

 

[Hriston]

OOC: Who are we waiting on? I think @Shadowedeyes. Anyone else?

OOC: I think we were also waiting to see if Quinn's cosmic omens negate one of the attacks that hit him. Otherwise, I guess he's down for the count.

Valda stabbed downward, barely looking, to make sure the armored hill giant warrior stayed down before stepping forward to engage some of the giants to the south. They appeared to be lesser combatants than the one she had just finished off, but they were still giants and that meant they were still dangerous. Despite her injuries from the initial onslaught of rocks, the pain numbed as she focused on the foes before her, slashing the larger on the two across his side.

OOC: Sorry, been sick in addition to the holidays. Lets see if we can't finish off that downed armored hill giant, thanks to advantage. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+10 = [2]+10 = 12 1D20+10 = [16]+10 = 26 Since he is at one I'll forgo the damage roll. After that I will try to shimmy over towards AP 61 next to the Young Hill Giant and Hill Giant Servant, and attack the Hill Giant Servant, cutting it close on hitting. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+10 = [4]+10 = 14 +1 Longsword Damage Roll: 1D8+8+1D4+1D6 = [4]+8+[3]+[3] = 18 Finally, use my bonus action to Second Wind to regain 20 hit points. Second Wind: 1D10+10 = [10]+10 = 20

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

OOC: @FitzTheRuke just pinging you. Think we are ready to roll the round. I think Quinn is down unless I was able to negate an attack with my Cosmic Omens reaction from above.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

With the Chief's call of "Kill the Spell-thrower", it seemed as if nearly every giant in the room hurled a rock at Quinn. In a quick flash of precognition, Quinn saw his only hope. A single space that he could step to in time that would save his life. He stepped forward, but the mass of rocks that came through the door still took his feet from under him, and partly buried him under and behind them. This doubly saved his life, as to an observer, he seemed to have been killed, and the giants turned their further attacks on the others, while Quinn quietly worked to extricate himself from the newly-formed rock pile.

Valda plunged her sword into the prone armored hill giant, finishing him. She strode forth, heading for one of the less imposing giants, who looked like he would rather be anywhere else but facing the bloodied warrior woman. He rose a club, and they clashed, with Valda taking a blow and giving one. The young hill giant urged the bear on, who took a lazy swipe at Valda, who hardly felt it, such was her rush of vigor.

Many of the other giants now hurled their stones at Bible, but Cordit stood in the way. The little halfling sailor (turned giant ape) caught the stone giant's discuss, and she leaped over the firepit, landing amidst two giants and she struck the stone giant on the top of his head with his own rock while roaring, "Leeff me kap'ton alloon!"

The chief had had quite enough of Jack and his quarrels, so he hefted an enormous two-bladed axe and rushed toward the dormitory doors with a snarl.

OOC: But didn't quite make it there dashing. I'm truly sorry, gang, that I let this one go for so long. Let's see if we can bring it to a close.
