(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[TerraDave]

OoC: 1 you post too fast. 2. LOL. 3. I did post WAIT first.

House A'Nora has never just relied on chance. As he starts to slip, what turns that into a wild swing brings him up several logs. He then quietly clears the rest of the distance.

Luck reroll: 16-1: 15.

(OoC: 1 of 3 Luck points used).

As Tenibor now confidently strides the top of the tower, he examines the giant in the stairwell. How hard will it be to get past?

To Jack: ~Its probably safest for you to secure the mallet. ~

 

[FitzTheRuke]

For a moment, waking the Giant flashed before Tenibor's mind's eye. Fortunately, it was but the faintest whiff of inconfidence and it passed quickly as Tenibor quietly caught his feet even higher on the log than they had left. He gracefully finished the climb, with the giant still dozing.

OOC: Well, that was lucky! Yeah, sorry about the quick post. Your "wait came after I typed all that stuff, but before I posted it! Awright. Everyone else can safely work their way up. Well, as safely as you'd expect now.

~That thing looks damn heavy. Maybe Valda can grab it? Let’s try to move down the stairs past these two louts~

OOC: Has Jack hear or seen any down the stairs?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Has Jack hear or seen any down the stairs? Gonna let a few others catch up and post before moving you to the stairs. You're on your way, but 'paused'. The gong's mallet is essentially a maul, though not as solidly built as a proper war-maul.

Quinn watches as Tenibor slips and catches himself. He looks to blue and shakes his head to the wizards suggestion.

I do not need assistance. Save your magic Tenibor forgets that I am a druid and the form of the beasts is mine when needed.

With that Quinn takes two steps and shifts into an owl that flaps its wings and circles around the tower to land on the rail.

In this form I can do some more scouting if anyone thinks it is prudent.

OOC: I am going to wildshape into an owl. Quinn: AC17* HP 62/62 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc18 4/4 2/3 3/3 3/3 1/1 WS 1/2 GB 4/4 CO 4/4 ET 1/1 DS 1/1 H 1/1 MS 1/1 Ba 1/1

As an owl, Quinn spotted a family of mice living in the thatched roof of the gatehouse. He ignored them (to their surprise) and made a circle over the watchtower roof. The only thing he saw worth noting (in this brief flyover that only included the south-western corner of the steading) was that the chimney immediately to the left of the watchtower was smoke-free. Perhaps that room was empty. The chimney was large enough to climb down the inside, though it might be tight for Eoghan.

He made note of that, but the immediate concern was the giants in the watchtower.

OOC: Just @Blue Eoghan and @Hriston Bible to go up, however they want to do it, and we'll have Jack check down the stairs.

 

[Blue]

OOC: I mentioned Eoghan will go up last, or if someone waves him forward. Here's the check again for convenience. Athletics check with advantage to Climb: 2D20.HIGH(1)+1 = [17, 4]+1 = 18 And sorry for the confusion before the post with both the sound of the bandore and calming the dogs - you're right, I wasn't thinking about where Eoghan was now. Mea culpa, will try not to let it happen again.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: will try not to let it happen again. No worries. I moved things along probably a little too quickly. I'm gonna try to wait a little more for others. I may be a little overly enthusiastic, but I suppose that's better than the alternative! But yeah, rolling and saying "I go last." Is better than waiting for someone else to roll first.

 

[Hriston]

"After you, my good sir," Bible telepathizes as she bows comically and gestures for Eoghan to climb next.

Seeing him safely to the top, she checks her surroundings to make sure nothing is following them and stows her shield. She begins to hoist herself up, hand over hand. "Skiddle-dee-dee," everyone can hear her thinking to herself as she climbs.

OOC: Strength (Athletics): 1D20+9 = [2]+9 = 11
