(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Blue]

When the heat of the ball of fire washes over the wolves, Eoghan's fingering of the strings stops in a discordant jangle. He is silent for a few moments, ears drooping in sadness.

Quinn moves up to the door to the courtyard. He stands just inside to keep an eye on the other door out of the kitchen. It would not do to have enemies flank them. Quinn then calls forth the starry energy and sends a bolt towards the slower of the two giants. The bolt strikes it squarely in the chest.

OOC: Moving to AC37. Casting guiding bolt at HGS2. Guiding bolt attack and damage: 1d20+10 30 4d6 11 Guiding bolt crit damage: 4d6 14 for a total of 25 damage. Quinn; AC17* HP 60/62 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc18 4/4 2/3 3/3 3/3 0/1 WS 1/2 GB 0/4 CO 2/4 ET 1/1 DS 1/1 H 1/1 MS 1/1 Ba 1/1

Quinn struck the rock-throwing giantess with a starry bolt. She staggered, still reeling from Tenibor's flames. As Quinn had predicted, the northern door opened and orcs rushed out. They dashed across the kitchen and surrounded him in an arc, brandishing pikes. A giant lumbered out and took a rock from a large sack that was dragged by an orc that had hidden in a little side-room. The giant flung the rock at Quinn, but it struck the door he was standing beside.

OOC: Quinn did 25 to Schlub2 and the next attack vs her has advantage. Orcs had to dash to reach Quinn, so no attacks for them yet. Schlub3 missed Quinn with a rock.

Spoiler: Rolls

Attack: 1D20+6 = [7]+6 = 13

[Lidgar]

Stepping around Eoghan, Jack kept Darling trained on the massive hill giant assaulting Valda and Bible while catching a glimpse of orcs to his left.

"It was just a matter of time." He muttered to himself while letting another quarrel fly.

OOC: Jack steps up to AH37 to fire on HG1. He then steps back behind Eoghan to AF38. Sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [13]+10 = 23 1D8+6+5D6 = [6]+6+[3, 6, 1, 6, 3] = 31

 

[Blue]

Dismay transformed into a grimace on Eoghan's face. He growled out in the timber the beasts understand, this time in Common so everyone else can make it out as well: "They kick, they cuff, they yell, and now they send fire. Kill the big ones!" as he pointed at the giants.

He settled back, distaste obvious, eyes flicking about if he needed to save his comrades-in-arms.

OOC: Eoghan will spend his action to attempt to convince the burnt dire wolves that the giants are responsible for the fire and should be attacked. Deception. Second roll is in case you want to apply advantage or disadvantage: Primary: 1D20+9 = [8]+9 = 17 Second roll: 1D20+9 = [19]+9 = 28 Not sure if the roll might have advantage (successful persuasion & feeding) or disadvantage (figuring the chanting caused fire) so I gave you an extra roll. If not it's just the 17. He maintains Concentration on the Hypnotic Pattern. REACTION: Eoghan will cast Silvery Barbs at the first giant that hits one of us or makes a save.

 

[Hriston]

"Nice work Valda!" says Bible, impressed with the swordsmanship of the enlarged warrior next to her. "Now how's about I finishes her orf?"

Bible swings at the hill giant...

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [17]+10 = 27 Damage: 1D8+8 = [6]+8 = 14

... and takes her out of the fight.

Her eye caught by the glittering light that surrounds the rock-thrower, Bible charges over, swinging her blade low and allowing her momentum to carry it up through her opponent's defenses.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack with advantage from guiding bolt: 2D20.HIGH(1)+10 = [7, 13]+10 = 23 Damage: 1D8+8 = [8]+8 = 16 AC19* HP 58/85 THP 8/8 HD 9/9 PP16 AS 1/1 2W 1/1 Ind 1/1 Position: AJ-28

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Seeing the giant and orcs come through the other door and skirt the insect plague he mentally warns the others.

Another giant and several orcs have entered through the other kitchen door. I will try to distract them.

Calling on his fae blood Quinn speaks a word in Sylvan and is consumed in silvery mist. In the same instant he materializes in a puff of mist next to the insect swarm. He then lashes out with his thorny whip towards the Giant. The whip wraps around the giant and drags him into the swarming biting insects. He looks at the orcs.

"Come face me you dogs."

Quinn then backs away from the orcs taunting them to follow him.

OOC: Using my bonus action to cast Misty Step to appear at W37. Action to cast thorn whip at HGS3. Thorn Whip attack: 1d20+10 15 2d6 10. I will then drag it 10 feet towards me and into the insect plague. It now takes Insect Plague Damage: 4d10 27 half on a DC 18 Con save. I will then move to Q38 further into the kitchen. Quinn: AC17* HP 60/62 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc18 4/4 2/3 3/3 3/3 0/1 WS 1/2 GB 0/4 CO 2/4 ET 1/1 DS 1/1 H 1/1 MS 0/1 Ba 1/1

 

[TerraDave]

Tenibor will move 3 north, staying close to the wall. Then he will gently whisper to the nearest dire wolf.

(Toll the dead for 4 dmg! DC 16 wis half).

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Valda knows that the rune magic that had enlarged her form wasn't going to last much longer. Pulling out one of her handaxes, she chucked it at the hill giant that had been caught in the blast from the fireball, before backing up to tighten the group against the probably angry wolves.

OOC: Throwing a handaxe at HGS2 and then moving to AH36. Thrown Handaxe: 1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15 Handaxe Damage with Giants Might: 1D6+6+1D6 = [3]+6+[4] = 13
