(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Blue]

Eoghan stared at the giant that attacked him with the cooking utensil then pulled from his belt a thin, long blade of eladrin make. It seemed almost dainty in the firbolg's hand, until it flicked in at the giant's beefy side.

OOC: Eoghan draws and attacks with his rapier. Rapier attack and damage: 1D20+6 = [19]+6 = 25 1D8+2 = [6]+2 = 8

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Bible's axe hurled past the giant's head as the brute struggled with Eoghan and Valda. Eoghan drew a long thin blade and skewered the giant as he spun to hack Valda with his cleaver.

OOC: Bible missed; Eoghan did 8 to HGS2, who did 11 to Valda. @Shadowedeyes Valda to go to roll the round (or end it).

Spoiler: Rolls

HGS2
Cleaver vs Valda: 1D20+6 = [2]+6 = 8
Cleaver vs Valda: 1D20+6 = [15]+6 = 21 for 2D6+4 = [1, 6]+4 = 11

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Valda stoically grits through the pain the cleaver's strike and retaliates with two slashes from her longsword.

OOC: Down to 80 HP thanks to the 8 THP from Eoghan. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [5]+9 = 14 1D20+9 = [18]+9 = 27 +1 Longsword Damage with Giants Might: 1D8+7+1D6 = [3]+7+[4] = 14 +1 Longsword Damage: 1D8+7 = [2]+7 = 9 Valda AC19* HP 80/83 HD 8/9 PP15 AS 1/1 2W 1/1 RNdc15[FR 1/1 CR 1/1 HR 1/1] GM 2/4 RS 3/4 Ind 1/1

 

[FitzTheRuke]

With two slashes of her longsword, Valda cut down the remaining giant. The three surviving orcs sat silently on the dirt floor.

Quinn reported that the giants in the courtyard were wandering about in vigilant patrol, but none the wiser.

This had gone far better than their first experience of the kitchen.

GM: End of Encounter.

OOC: Where to next?

 

[Blue]

~<Their chief did not plan their attacks himself, that seems to me to be the type who wouldn't be out looking for us. My bet is he is either in the main hall or his quarters. Should we go hard for the hall while we still have not raised a new alarm? It's just through down the hall there,>~ Eoghan thinks, pointing at the southern doors.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The Great Hall had an enormous fire pit, with a vast smoke-hole in the roof high overhead. It would be a very simple thing for Quinn to fly through the smoke-hole to report on what they should expect to find there.

OOC: @VLAD the Destroyer Should I send Quinn there?

 

[Lidgar]

Jack exhaled in relief seeing the last giant fall. Turning his attention to the now quiet room, he listened to Quinn's report on the giants outside - more good news - and nods at the suggestion to scout the Great Hall. ˜Let's bind, gag and blindfold these orcs before we leave. No need for them to raise the alarm once we turn our back.˜

Jack seemed a bit distracted while saying this as gazed to the southwest corner of the room. His years of thieving honed his skill to pick out oddities, and he was seeing one. ˜Somethin's not right about the way that wall pops out near the wood pile. The hallway on the other side does not look like that. I'm going to check it out quick while a couple of you take care of the orcs.˜

OOC: Jack moves to the southwest corner near P47 and searches the wall that pops out, looking for secret doors or any other evidence of what might be in the void between it and the hallway. Perception: 1D20+10 = [3]+10 = 13 He'll use another luck point as he searches, just in case. Perception (Lucky): 1D20+10 = [15]+10 = 25 Jack AC17 HP 66/66 THP 8/8 HD 9/9 PP20 LK 1/3

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

OOC: yes I will post something tomorrow unless you want to move us along quicker.

 

[TerraDave]

Tenibor will use mage hand to help bind the orcs. He will try to avoid touching them.

He awaits the reports of the rogue and Druid.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Jack was curios, so he poked around the south-west corner of the kitchen behind a woodpile. Though he did not find (as he had hoped) a secret door there, he was able to tell, through a small space between the logs of the wall, that there was a staircase there that led downward. It seemed likely that the top of the stairs was located in the room that eighty minutes earlier, had held a small group of arguing giants.
