(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Hriston]

Drawing her gleaming longsword as she emerges from the fireplace, the Reeve crosses the room in front of the giant and takes up a position between the giant and the door.

::Sorry Utharn,:: she says with a distinctly hill giant accent, ::this is the end for you.::

Raising her shield to guard herself against her taller opponent, she thrusts upward at the giant twice in quick succession.

OOC: Bible's position is M68. Longsword: 1D20+10 = [10]+10 = 20 1D20+10 = [9]+10 = 19 Damage: 1D8+8 = [7]+8 = 15 1D8+8 = [8]+8 = 16

But those giant size beds, and those earings...oh well.

~The woodpile that is not a woodpile is still in front of the hearth~ he broadcasts to everyone, including Jack.

Not that it will matter much. This should not take long. He will take a step back to R72.

The end tolls for the stone giant.

(Toll the dead, cantrip. Wisdom DC16 for half (with potent cantrip). Damage 16. Edit: this assumes that the giant got hit by at least one of those attacks )
(Tenibor has also used 1 2nd level spell for Misty Step).

Valda rushes out of the fireplace, taking an opposite side to Bible to help corral the giant's movements. She takes some quick swipes at the giant's legs with only the slightest of grins on her face.

OOC: I doubt these are hitting, but I rolled damage just in case. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [5]+9 = 14 1D20+9 = [3]+9 = 12 +1 Longsword Damage: 1D8+7 = [4]+7 = 11 1D8+7 = [1]+7 = 8

An owl burst out of the fireplace and became Quinn, who shot the giant with a glowing bolt of starlight, which surrounded the giant in a twinkling sheen. Jack dove from behind the woodpile to a safer distance near the far wall and fired his crossbow, which struck the giant square in the chest.

"Betrayer!" bellowed Utharn, still speaking only to Eoghan, "I knew one who treats with so many small folk could not be trusted!"

He reached for his club, but quickly became surrounded by Bible and Valda, who lay into him from both sides. The giant's head was high enough that he had to stoop under the support beams, some twenty feet up. He reached out and unhooked the iron brazier that hung from a beam and swung it from its chain like a flail, spilling hot coals around him that began to set fire to his bed.

He slammed the heavy brazier into the wall over bible's head, and then swung it around, dropping it on Valda. Eoghan tried to send a warning but it was too late, and the hot iron struck her, knocking her back a step. The blow would surely have crushed a smaller person, but Valda was every bit as tough as she looked and she only grunted and stepped forward.

OOC: Eoghan did 5; Quinn did 12; Jack did 22; Tenibor did 8; Bible did 31; Valda missed and took 19 bludgeoning. There's a fire growing on the bed.

OOC: The spell Silvery Barbs triggers: "1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself succeeds on an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw" If the attack with disadvantage was a miss, Silvery Barbs would never have triggered to force a reroll. It's like Shield, it goes off on a success not just on a roll.

OOC: Yeah, I got that, thanks. I rolled it like disadvantage to save time. If the first roll had missed, you wouldn't have needed to use Silvery Barbs. One of the nice things about rolling advantage or disadvantage on Coyote is being able to tell the order of the rolls by reading left-to-right. The second roll's the reroll, but both rolls hit.

 

[Hriston]

Encouraged by the stone giant's moment of uncertainty, Bible once again lunges in to stab him with her longsword.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack with advantage: 2D20.HIGH(1)+10 = [5, 4]+10 = 15 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [1]+10 = 11

 

[Lidgar]

Jack calmly, almost mechanically, reloads his crossbow. ˜The faster he goes down, the better.˜

OOC: Ranged sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [14]+10 = 24 1D8+5+5D6 = [1]+5+[1, 4, 4, 2, 6] = 23

 

[Blue]

::Slug-witted brute, thick thews does not make you better than anyone,:: Eoghan called out in his deep voice.

And again, he prepared to try to twist fate with a rightly timed syllable.

OOC: Vicious Mockery, 20 on the reverse WIS save, for 4 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack if successful. Vicious Mockery reverse save & damage: 1D20+9 = [11]+9 = 20 2D4 = [3, 1] = 4 REACTION: Silvery Barbs if ally hit. Forces reroll, and grants advantage to an ally - Jack now. Eoghan AC15 HP 75/75 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc17 3/4 3/3 3/3 2/3 1/1 BI 4/5 (Reduced for 1st round Silvery Barbs usage.) Folks, Eoghan's spells are more suited for multiple foes. For a single target he's focusing on messing up their ability to attack while we just wear him down. BTW, he can also use Silvery Barbs against a successful save, so if anyone has an important spell to deliver let him know.
