(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Lidgar]

Jack feels a surge of magic song course through his veins as his pivots Darling’s aim on the bearded houndmaster.

OOC: Sneak attack with advantage using light crossbow: 2D20.HIGH(1)+10 = [3, 11]+10 = 21 1D8+6+5D6 = [4]+6+[1, 2, 2, 2, 5] = 22

When Valda tried to stab the giant houndsman he shoved her shield, putting her off-balance. As she shrank back down to normal size, the giant laughed ::Thought for a sec dat you was big! But yer just fakin' at giant-hood. Yer a small an' should be crushed unner boots ov yer bedders.::

Jack shot him with a quarrel that stuck in his chest, but seemed to bother him only a little. He called out to someone in the outbuilding, saying, ::Geddoud here ya louts! Time ta stomp some smalls!::

One by one, ogres appeared at the door of the outbuilding.

OOC: I know. It never ends, does it? Valda missed; Jack did 22.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: I think we're waiting on @Hriston Bible to roll the round. (And maybe Eoghan to polymorph her into Pirate King Kong?)

 

[Blue]

OOC: (And maybe Eoghan to polymorph her into Pirate King Kong?) Sorry, waiting on feedback before polymorphing another character. If not have an alternate action.

 

[Hriston]

"I ain't no ape," says Bible in response to the firbolg's mental suggestion, "but I knows when I had enough monkey business!"

She pushes the dire wolf back and slashes at it twice with her sword.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [15]+10 = 25 Damage: 1D8+8 = [2]+8 = 10 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [4]+10 = 14 Damage: 1D8+8 = [3]+8 = 11

::You asked for it, Vaarga,:: she spits as she moves in on the houndsman, her sword dripping with wolfsblood.

OOC: Bible moves to AS-30 and uses Second Wind. Second Wind: 1D10+9 = [8]+9 = 17 AC19* HP 33/85 THP 0/8 HD 9/9 PP16 AS 1/1 2W 0/1 Ind 1/1

 

[Blue]

Eoghan nods at Reeve's response, face showing shifting thoughts before starting to yell at the houndsmaster in their uncouth accent, a strum forcing the jape home.

::You, planned it? Oi that be the biggest joke. Who'd trust you with where ta raid and why? Yer beasties fill up your feed bowl.::

And he watched over his comrades-at-arms, ready to protect them with a syllable.

OOC: Just a simple Vicious Mockery at the Houndsmaster. DC 17 WIS save or take 5 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack. Vicious Mockery: 2D4 = [1, 4] = 5 REACTION: Silvery Barbs at the first giant to hit one of us, with advantage to Bible. Considered doing a Suggestion to get the houndsman to brag to us, but there are too many foes left to play games. And he may just know where the raids were, not why they happened. BTW, if anyone gets quite hurt polymorph will give you a really substancial set of HPs just like a moon druid's wildshape. Just call out for it. And it lasts up to an hour. Eoghan AC15 HP 45/75 THP 0/8 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc17 1/4 1/3 2/3 2/3 1/1 BI 2/5

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Just like a moon druid's wildshape.

OOC: Well... sort of like wildshape. You play the full monster stat block (in this case, basically King Kong) for the duration, instead of your regular character. It's pretty fun, IMO

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Eoghan's mocking enraged the giant houndsman, who went red in the cheeks and said, ::King Snurre hisself asked me t'plan it! Chief Nosnra agreed! You know nothin' low-ordening scum! Yer prackickly a small!::

He was interrupted in his rant by Bible, who had put down the last of the dire wolves and moved in to join Valda against the houndsman.

OOC: Bible killed DW4; Eoghan did 5 (& disadvantage) to HGHM.

Spoiler: Rolls

Mockery
Houndsman dc17 Wis Save: 1D20+4 = [8]+4 = 12

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: I can't remember (and don't have time to look) if I mentioned it, but Orc6 went and shook the giant that was messed up by Hypnotic Pattern so that guy's back.
