(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[TerraDave]

OoC: The GD was damaged in the last round.

 

[TerraDave]

Feeling a bit awkward now on top of the giant, Tenibor will step down (one to the right).

For this things death, he will toll.

Edit: or not.

(Measly 6 damage. Or 3 with DC 16 will save).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Valda climbed over the dead giant, rushing at the rock creature. She invoked a rune that shrouded it in flaming chains, that shackled it to the floor. This gave Jack the moment he needed to fire a quarrel from Darling, his favourite crossbow. The quarrel punched into the creature's chest, leaving cracks forming around it.

Eoghan mocked it, and tried to use his magic to stop it from escaping the fiery bonds, but break free it did, though it took all its efforts. Tenibor climbed off of the giant's body and tolled the deep durge once more, which caused the cracks to lengthen.

OOC: Fixed its listed HP. Valda did 26 and restrained the Galeb Duhr. I rolled Advantage for Jack, causing him to hit and do 28. Tenibor did 6, and Eoghan did 4, and used Silvery Barbs, though it made its end-of-turn save to break the runic chains, even on a reroll. Jack will have advantage on his next attack, though you can give that to Bible or Quinn, who still need to go, and you might finish it off. Oh, and it attacked, but missed.

Spoiler: Rolls

Galeb Duhr
Slam Attack: 2D20.LOW(1)+8 = [2, 1]+8 = 9
dc15 Str Save vs Runes: 1D20+5 = [10]+5 = 15 Success! So Silvery Barbs?
dc16 Wis Save vs Toll: 1D20+1 = [7]+1 = 8
dc15 Str Save vs Runes Reroll: Save: 1D20+5 = [14+5] = 19
Jack's Advantage Roll: 1D20+10 = [16+10] = 26 AC (so Hit)

 

[Hriston]

Unable to drag the rock-creature over the giant's body, Bible crosses the foot of the bed, pulling the creature away from Eoghan and into the corner of the room where she releases it from her grasp and draws her sword.

::Sit in the corner -- you been a bad boy,:: she remarks as she moves to the right around the creature, interposing herself between it and Eoghan and striking at it twice with her sword.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [2]+10 = 12 1D20+10 = [17]+10 = 27 Damage: 1D8+8 = [4]+8 = 12 Bible's position is L69.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn steps closer to the rock creature. He then speaks another incantation gesturing with his sickle in a whip like motion. As the spell completes a thorny vine whips towards the rock creature wrapping around it magical thorns gauging into it's rock hide.

OOC: Moving closer to the GD so I am within 30ft. Casting Thorn Whip. Thorn whip attack on GD.: 1d20+10 13 2d6 6 Using reaction for Cosmic Omens Cosmic Omen bonus to attack: 1d6 6 Makes the attack a 19 which hits. Also let me know if anyone needs healing. Quinn: AC17* HP 62/62 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc18 4/4 3/3 3/3 3/3 1/1 WS 1/2 GB 2/4 CO 2/4 ET 1/1 DS 1/1 H 1/1 MS 1/1 Ba 1/1

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Bible turned the rock creature loose in the corner of the room and drew her sword in a quick motion, stabbing through its thick rocky hide. The cracks in its chest widened. Finally, Quinn sent a magical whip made of thorn-like stars, that wrapped around the creature's arm. When Quinn pulled, hoping to throw the creature off balance, the arm (and half the creature's chest) came off and dragged across the bed, tearing through the burnt mattress. The other half fell the other way, bumping into the wall with a loud crash.

OOC: That's it for the combat. It wasn't quiet, but there doesn't seem to be anyone else coming right this second.

 

[Lidgar]

~Let's get those doors closed,~ projects Jack to the others, while striding towards the east wall of the room. ~This chest looks like it needs a little attention.~

OOC: Jack moves to chest between the two beds and then kneels down to see if it looks locked, as well as inspecting it for traps. If its trapped, he'll attempt to disarm, and if locked, he'll attempt to pick the lock (both with thieves' tools check), unless we find a key on the stone giant. Investigation check for traps: 1D20+7 = [11]+7 = 18 Disarm trap: 1D20+13 = [13]+13 = 26 Open lock: 1D20+13 = [2]+13 = 15

 

[FitzTheRuke]

After a quick search of the giant's body for keys and finding none, Jack set to work on the giant-sized chest on the eastern wall. The others closed the doors and stamped out the last remnants of the bed-fire (and collected the brazier's other scattered coals, which were easily scooped up with what was an iron hand-scoop for the giants, but was a large shovel for the humanoids.) The scoop had hung from the mantle, along with a large fire-poker. The fireplace was missing a few of its largest stones, but its integrity seemed essentially intact.

After a few minutes of searching, Jack hadn't found any traps, so he shrugged and began to work the lock. Using his largest tools, he deftly manipulated the oversized pins until the latch sprung and he carefully opened the chest. There was room enough for three man-sized creatures to sit comfortably inside. Jack dragged out a heavy, folded giant-sized greatcoat, pushed aside some giant-sized travelling gear, and found his prize: a sack containing gems and coins of various sizes and currencies. His quick head-math estimated the worth at just over five-thousand in standard gold coins. In addition, there was a stone tablet, similar to the one that Utharn had been scratching on.

OOC: The "letter" on the tablet is written in Giant and can be read by anyone who can read that or Dwarvish.

Spoiler: Tablet

Laerthar, my love,
Go to the hill giants. Help Nosnra plan his raids. Make
sure he does not lose sight of our greater goal. Do this for
your thane. Do this for me.
-Belastraya

 

[Blue]

Eoghan poked his head over Jack's shoulder, curious. He restrained himself from rudely grabbing the tablet from Jack's "workspace", but he did cran his head about trying to make out what it said.

 

[Lidgar]

Jack squints at the tablet. He can recognize some of the characters, but it's definitely not orcish.

Noticing a shadow looming over his shoulder, he passes the table back behind his head. "Maybe you can make sense of this big fella," he whispers to the chanter.

He then stands, holding the sack of gems and coins in the air to show to the rest of the party. ~Unless anyone objects, I'll keep this safe in my pack for us to split up later.~ He then moves back to the doors to listen before peaking out to see if the coast is clear.

OOC: Perception check: 1D20+10 = [18]+10 = 28
