(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[TerraDave]

The end still tolls for the stylish stone giant. (Including the brazier attack.)

(Toll the dead, cantrip. Wisdom DC16 for half (with potent cantrip). Damage 18.)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Though the giant was able to defend himself against bible by swinging the brazier's chain across her sword's strike-path, he took a quarrel from Jack's crossbow high on his thigh. ::Rogho! Assist me!:: he bellowed.

Suddenly, the door swung in, knocking Bible hard from behind. (OOC: dc21 Str (Athletics) check or she's pushed 10 feet). Outside was a wide hallway, dimly lit. A wide, stocky boulder-like rock creature was trying to force its way into the room.

OOC: Jack did 23; Eoghan did 4. Bible missed. Giant missed. Galeb Duhr is at the door. Still half the party to go.

Spoiler: Rolls

Galeb Duhr
Athletics Check (shove) vs BIble: 1D20+8 = [13]+8 = 21
Stone Giant
Brazier vs Bible (with dis from VM): 2D20.LOW(1)+6 = [20, 5]+6 = 11 Miss
Brazier vs Valda: 1D20+6 = [5]+6 = 11 miss. Silvery Barbs not needed.

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Still able to feel some of the burning embers from the brazier she had been struck with, Valda wants some retribution, again attempting to attack the giant.

OOC: +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [17]+9 = 26 1D20+9 = [19]+9 = 28 +1 Longsword Damage Rolls: 1D8+7 = [7]+7 = 14 1D8+7 = [1]+7 = 8

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn hears the giant bellow and watches as the door bursts in. He raises his sickle and makes some gestures reminiscent of a flame and speaks an incantation. At the completion of the spell a burst of light and heat flare up as a fire springs to life under the new threat.

OOC: Casting the Create Bonfire cantrip on the same square as the Galeb Duhr. I couldn't figure out how you wanted us to do the reverse save roll so it needs to make a DC 18 Dex save or take Create bonfire damage: 2d8 3. Pass Without Trace drops as I am now concentrating on Create Bonfire.

 

[Hriston]

"@*!$&% $%*&!" Bible exclaims as the brazier's thick chain nearly wrenches the sword from her grasp and the door suddenly slams into her.

::Whoa there, Rogho, I ain't no pushover!:: she yells out in Hill Giant as she digs in her feet and tries to stand her ground.

OOC: Strength (Athletics): 1D20+9 = [20]+9 = 29

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Bible managed to hold her ground and she held one of the two large doors nearly closed. The stone-creature could not fit through to get into the room and it struggled, reaching around the door. Quinn sent a small flame that grew into a full-on fire under the creature, and it stomped at it uncomfortably. Then it seemed to hum a deep rumbling sound that Eoghan recognized as a very old note, with layers steeped in old earth magic. Suddenly stones from the fireplace fell out onto the floor, rolled, then twisted into four miniature versions of the elemental creature. They acted on its behalf, rushing in to defend the giant.

These may have been small compared to the giant or the big elemental creature, but they were still big stones that rumbled across the floor. Most of the group were able to hold them off, for now, but one struck Tenibor hard in the shin while the elf mage conjured another durge-like note that shattered the giant's determination. Valda did some fancy footwork, avoiding a rolling rock under her while she thrust her longsword at the giant and avoided his swinging chain. She plunged her sword deep, and the giant fell to the ground with an enormous thud.

OOC: Tenibor did 18 & Valda did 22 to the giant, killing him.; Quinn did 3 to the Galeb Duhr. A mini Galeb Duhr did 7 to Tenibor. The rest missed.

[Lidgar]

Jack curses as one of the boulders from the fireplace rolls towards him. ~What fowl magic do these giants command?~ In a flash, he drops his crossbow and draws The Knife. "What I'd give for a sledge right about now," he mutters to Quinn as he slashes at the rock creature in frustration.

OOC: Sneak attack versus MGD #3: 1D20+10 = [2]+10 = 12 1D4+6+5D6 = [2]+6+[1, 3, 5, 1, 3] = 21

[FitzTheRuke]

Jack's knife sparked harmlessly off the back of the smaller rock-creature as if it were simply a fireplace stone, and not some strange elemental monster, which suddenly leaped up and cracked him in the head before falling back to the floorboards with a thump.

OOC: Jack missed, but it got him back for 8.

Spoiler: Rolls

[Lidgar]

OOC: Regarding silvery barbs - since it didn't activate, Jack didn't have advantage on that attack, correct? I'm not familiar with the text of that spell.
