(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Blue]

Eoghan-orc looked nervous, then said ::There is a problem with the Smalls. Chief Nostra wants you.::

OOC: Deception: 1D20+9 = [7]+9 = 16

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The captain nodded and then suddenly shouted (in the goblin tongue) "Right! Arm up you lazy bastards!"

The sleeping bugbears slowly began to rise out of their cots while the captain went around kicking anyone that was taking too long, "Up, up! Getcher things! WE gotta show the bigguns that we're better'n the others at killin'. Get it done, now!"

 

[Blue]

~<Confound it! Tried to send up just the Captain, but he's bringing about a dozen bugbears. If you can hide we can probably get the prison to ourselves for a short while.>~

::I'll ring the gong if the prisoners act up,:: Eoghan-orc told the captain, moving back to the first room and picking up one of the gong hammers.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The captain nodded about the orc taking up the gong-ringing. He was confident that the prisoners were suitably cowed. The group on the stairs had plenty of warning to slip back upstairs, but not long to decide where to place themselves.

OOC: If you want to hide while the bugbears go upstairs, where would you like to do it?

 

[Hriston]

~<As soon as they see all the dead giantsk in the room upstairs,>~ Bible thinks to the others, gripping her axe, ~<they're sure to raise the alarm. Nah, we need to keep this in the basekmenk, or they'll bring the whole farmin' house down on us wit' no way of excapin'! I say we rush the two guards while we still has a chance and try to keep them buggy-bears in their barracks if we can, that is unless anyone else has an idea.>~

 

[Lidgar]

Jack nodded. ~Maybe we pincer them between the stairs and the big room. Can the Druid summon those vines again behind their back once they get to the stairs?~

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Feel free to post turns for Round One right away then. The Bugbear Barraks map above will stand for starting locations. With the way I do initiative in PBP, Surprise is powerful enough if I just let you all go first before I do the monsters (most of the ones in the barracks will use their actions to strap on shields, or whatever.)

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn glances down the stairs towards the enemies.

~<I can conjure grasping vines or a wall of flames to block their retreat. Which would you prefer.>~

OOC: I can cast entangle or wall of fire. Not sure which would be more useful.

 

[Lidgar]

OOC: @FitzTheRuke, I think our plan was to let the bugbears get to the bottom of the stairs and then try to ambush them. Most of us would be near the top of the first landing (hiding in the shadows if possible) so we could attack once they approached the bottom on the stairs. @VLAD the Destroyer, your call on what spell to use once we see how bunched up they get. @Blue, you'll be on your own for a bit - hopefully keeping them away from pulling a T.Rex (bang a gong...)

OOC: Oh yeah, of course. I'll move them along toward the stairs a post a round roller. Good point.
