(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn moves forward into the doorway now that most of the others have charged into the room. He whips out with the thorny vine towards the fire giant. The whip goes wide missing the giant. At the same time a radiant bolt of light streaks from Quinn to strike the giant.

OOC: Move to K73 Action: Thorn Whip attack against fire giant: 1d20+10 12 2d6 10. Bonus: Bonus action Luminous Arrow at fire giant: 1d20+10 23 1d8+5 6

The fight in the forge grew in ferocity as Bible stabbed an orog and left the orcs to finish him off, which they did after losing another of their own to his vicious axe-swings. Returning to help Cordit with the Fire Giant, who was struck by a glowing arrow from Quinn, Bible was suddenly caught by the immensely hot tongs.

The giant lifted the sailor and turned to put her into the forge-fire, which raged unnaturally hot. Cordit yelled "Naaaah! (trying to say "no" with her ape-mouth) and grabbed at the giant while kicking at him with her big ape-foot, trying to rescue Bible. The giant gave her two mighty blows of his hammer. It was time for Cordit to retreat, but she held on out of desperation.

The lead orc shouted at the orcs, backing up Eoghan's speech. One nodded and turned on the orog in the south, who was hacking at Cordit's leg. The other refused. These orcs were armed - made to be guards for the dwarves. The orc, who had led a rebellion and had been imprisoned for it, nodded to a nearby orc ally, who charged the defiant orc.

OOC: Forge: Bible did 16 to Orog1; Quinn did 6 to FG; Giant did 60 to Cordit & 17 (restrained, escape dc17) & 16 fire to Bible; Cordit did 44 to FG; Orog1 killed Orc4; Orc5 killed Orog1; Orc2 did 8 to Orc7; Orog2 did 21 to Cordit. Orc8 did 9 to Orog2. Be back soon!

OOC: Loving the tongs move! This is so exciting.

As the giant continued to carry Tamanar toward the iron maiden, Valda and the guards followed. Valda's stony skin had protected her from the worst of the other giant's scourge, and she thrust her sword at the giant's leg as he tried to cram the struggling elf knight into the iron maiden. Tamanar would not go without a fight, and he bashed his bugbear's morningstar on the giant's arms.

The two guards flung javelins at the giant's back, and Tenibor sounded another durge-note, signalling that the giant was close to the grave.

OOC: Tenibor did 12 to HG2; Valda did 35 to HG2 (& 10 from an OppAttack) & took 22 less damage from last round; Giant did 10 to Tamanar, who got lucky & didn't get stuffed in the Iron Maiden, & did 13 to HG2. Guards did 4 to HG2.

"Save yerself, Cordit," Bible calls out to her not-so-little friend, "I'm a gonner!"

Gritting her teeth through the pain of her burns, she stabs at the giant, hoping to end her torment by putting an end to the smith.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack with disadvantage: 2D20.LOW(1)+10 = [13, 17]+10 = 23 Damage: 1D8+8 = [5]+8 = 13 Longsword, +1, attack with disadvantage: 2D20.LOW(1)+10 = [15, 13]+10 = 23 Damage: 1D8+8 = [4]+8 = 12 Bible AC19* HP 51/85 THP 0/8 HD 3/9 PP16 AS 0/1 2W 1/1 Ind 1/1

Seeing the hill giant fall, Jack strode confidently into the grim chamber, towards the shouts of Valda and another hill giant. Stopping just inside the doorway, he surveyed the scene while barking at the guard in front of him to duck. In his rush he almost pulled the trigger too soon, but then tried to steady himself to aim above the guard's head and fire at the back of the second giant, who appeared to be manhandling Tamanar. Unfortunately for Jack, his Luck had finally turned, as he tripped over a torture device and his shot went wide...very wide.

OOC: Jack moves to CF58 and attacks HG2. Sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [3]+10 = 13 1D8+6+5D6 = [8]+6+[3, 5, 3, 3, 2] = 30 He uses his last luck point to re-roll the attack. @FitzTheRuke, his stat bar showed he still had two luck points, but he only has one. Updated below. Sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [1]+10 = 11 1D8+6+5D6 = [2]+6+[2, 1, 2, 3, 6] = 22 Alas, a critical miss on the re-roll! Jack AC17 HP 55/66 THP 0/8 HD 9/9 PP20 LK 0/3

Tenibor dodges the errant quarrel and tolls the standing hill giant.

The firbolg reacted to the Fire Giant pushing his comrade towards the flames.

"Put him down, you misbegotten child of a candle that dipped it's wick in a tall tree. Fire doesn't burn you because of pity."

At the same time, his fingers were strumming a rising crescendo on his Bandore, the type heard at the better plays just before some valiant act of heroism.

OOC: Vicious Mockery on the Fire Giant. DC 17 WIS save or 6 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack. Vicious Mockery: 2D4 = [4, 2] = 6 Bonus action, grant Bardic Inspiration to Bible ( @Hriston ). Grants 1d8 to a d20 roll in the next 10 minutes, can be applied after the die is rolled.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn moves into the room. He sees the orog threatening the freed orc and the Corbit ape and speaks a simple spell. A ball of fire bursts into existence in his hand and he hurls it at the orog. The flame strikes the creature. At the same time he sends an arrow of light towards the same target but misses.

OOC: Move to CI 77. Action: Produce Flame attack on Og2: 1d20+10 26 2d8 13 Bonus: Bonus action Luminous Arrow at Og2: 1d20+10 15 1d8+5 12
