GM: End Round One; Begin Round Two

OOC: Did those 8 THP wear off yet, or do they last until used?

 

[Blue]

Eoghan's eyes caught at the haze of flour, making out the giantess emerging.

<One giant at a time>, he murmured to himself in the sylvan tongue as he turned towards her.

He called out while once again blessing the mental communication, ~<If the giantess starts laughing, leave her for last.>~

::Once there was-- no, that's too highbrow. What do you call a-- no. Oh fine. What's grey and bad for your teeth? A rock!::
He then sketched a bow at the giantess.

The firbolg prepared to twist reality in different ways to protect his comrades.

OOC: The tHP last until used, they don't have a duration like some do. Eoghan is casting Tasha's Hideous Laughter on the Giantess. Save DC 17 or fall prone and become incapacitated. At the end of each turn she can repeat the save, and if damaged she can immediately repeat the save with advantage. REACTION: Cast Silvery Barbs on the first successful hit or save the Chef makes. Eoghan AC15 HP 75/75 THP 8/8 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc17 1/4 2/3 3/3 2/3 1/1 BI 2/5 (This includes the Suggestion (2nd) and Tasha's (1st) I've cast since.)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Upon hearing Eoghan's joke, the giantess started with a low chuckle that turned to riotous laughter. Soon she was trying to wipe tears form her eyes while wheezing and heaving her massive bosom. ::Ooh, thas a good one!:: she said between guffaws, ::A rock! Haw!::

OOC: Lol. No seriously - LOL. Giantess's save vs Eoghan's Tasha'sSave: 1D20-2 = [16]-2 = 14

 

[Lidgar]

Jack steps into the room and heaves the left door shut. ~Quinn, see about that other door, will ya?~

He then positions himself next to the mage and shouts in orcish (but unfortunately his voice cracks when doing so), "Rise against your oppressors or die you scurvy dogs!" The twang of Darling then follows - which Jack tries to influence with his uncanny luck.

OOC: Jack moves to R46 while shutting the left door. He then tries to intimidate the orcs into attacking while firing at the Chef again. Intimidate: 1D20+5 = [4]+5 = 9 Not very intimidating! Sneak attack with crossbow: 1D20+10 = [2]+10 = 12 1D8+6+5D6 = [4]+6+[4, 5, 3, 6, 2] = 30 First attempt at attack, uses lucky feat to roll an additional d20: Sneak attack with light crossbow (lucky): 1D20+10 = [16]+10 = 26 1D8+6+5D6 = [7]+6+[2, 5, 5, 4, 5] = 34 Jack AC17 HP 66/66 THP 8/8 HD 9/9 PP20 LK 2/3 Ammo 16/20

 

[Hriston]

:: Put me in a pot? Ja think I look like dinner?:: Bible says as she draws and slashes twice at the giant chef with her longsword which gleams in the red light of the kitchen fires.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [10]+10 = 20 Damage: 1D8+8 = [5]+8 = 13 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [11]+10 = 21 Damage: 1D8+8 = [3]+8 = 11 AC19* HP 58/85 THP 0/0 HD 9/9 PP16 AS 1/1 2W 1/1 Ind 1/1

 

[TerraDave]

As he watches the chaos erupt, he starts to wonder who the bigger menace is.

~To bad we don't have meteor swarm to finish off these orc plate throwers~

He will back into P47. He will cast toll the dead on the chef.

(16 dmg, DC 16 save for half; He will use shield if hit).

 

[Shadowedeyes]

Blinded by the flour suffusing the air and area around her, Valda cursed and coughed. She lashed out with wild blows against the Orog as they both tried to work around these almost comedic conditions.

OOC: Dexterity Saving Throw: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8 +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 2D20.LOW(1)+9 = [17, 4]+9 = 13 2D20.LOW(1)+9 = [1, 19]+9 = 10 +1 Longsword Damage Roll: 1D8+7+1D6 = [7]+7+[3] = 17

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Jack made a brief attempt to raise the orcs in rebellion, but it was no use - they had seen one of their number be entirely eaten by insects summoned by an invading spellcaster. They were terrified, and there was just enough Orc left in their otherwise abused selves to remember what to do with someone you were scared of: You kill them. The orcs scattered, reaching for the best weapons they could find.

Jack shoved a heavy door shut and fired his crossbow at the chef. His shot was hasty, and for a moment it looked like the quarrel would whiz past the giant, but the giant raised his meat cleaver to take a swing at Bible, and a luck of timing caused the quarrel to strike him under the arm, where his heavy apron gave no protection.

Bible stabbed and slashed below the apron at the giant's exposed knees, while keeping her shield high, blocking the giant's meat-cleaver as it rained blows down at her.

OOC: Jack did 34 and Bible did 24 to HGChef, who missed Bible. Back in a sec.

Spoiler: Rolls

HGChef vs Bible
Cleaver: 1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15
Cleaver: 1D20+8 = [5]+8 = 13
Cleaver: 1D20+8 = [3]+8 = 11 Pfft.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Tenibor observed the situation with the experienced eye of an elf. They had come in too strong - riling up the orcs, when they might have kept them out of it. He shook his head and did his part, conjuring the old durge-note that confirmed that Jack's quarrel had been a fatal shot. The bell told for he, and the giant fell to the dirt floor, dead.

The giantess with the flour-bag was the chef's wife, and she tried to scream, but all that came from her were fits of deep guffaws. The flour settled on everything - Valda and an orog, both white as snow, fought blindly, thrusting their weapons at each other. Valda felt the orog's blade slide across her armour, and her own blade struck flesh.

OOC: Tenibor finished off the Chef; Valda did 17 to Orog4, who missed her, as did Orc8. @VLAD the Destroyer Quinn to go to roll the round.

Spoiler: Rolls

No sense in rolling a save for the Chef, he'd die either way.
Orog4 vs Valda (both blind)
Knife: 2D20.LOW(1)+6 = [13, 5]+6 = 11
Knife: 2D20.LOW(1)+6 = [11, 18]+6 = 17 almost!
Orc8 vs Valda
Big Knife: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [3, 3]+5 = 8 really?

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn notices the curtain move and ducked, closing his eyes as the bag of flour burst across him. He hears Jack's mental command to shut the other door and pushes into it to force it closed. He then turns and casts a bolt of starlight at the Orog in the center of the room. Quinn then moves away from the door closer to his other companions.

OOC: Dex Save: 1d20+3 15 Guiding bolt attack and damage: 1d20+10 21 4d6 12 at Orog 1 I will then move to Q44 Quinn: AC17* HP 62/62 HD 9/9 PP19 SSdc18 4/4 3/3 3/3 3/3 0/1 WS 1/2 GB 1/4 CO 2/4 ET 1/1 DS 1/1 H 1/1 MS 1/1 Ba 1/1
