(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[TerraDave]

Tenibor will toll the whipper and move south 3.

(Toll the Dead 8 dmg; DC 16 will half; that will show him!)

Striding forward, Eoghan called out to the Houndsmaster.

::Even a near-small like me knows a liar - as if King Snurre asked you to do more than wipe his butt. You make things up.::

A glace to the right shows the ogres exiting the shed. Several chords and a deep sustained note later, once again a pattern flickered around them hypnotically.

He carefully watched his allies, looking if they needed a twist of fate.

OOC: Have we heard the name King Snurre before? Moving to AJ32 next to the young dire wolf corpse. Casting Hypnotic Pattern centered in the part of the shed I can see. Corners are AX27 to BC22, should catch those three ogres. DC 17 Wisdom save at disadvantage. REACTION: Cast Silvery Barbs at the first giant hitting one of us or making a save. If cast, advantage to Bible. Reminders Jack has Advantage on next attack (Silvery Barbs). Houndmaster has Disadvantage on next attack (Vicious Mockery).

Have we heard the name King Snurre before?

OOC: Intelligence (History) check:

Under 10, and you don't recall the name.
10-14 and you remember he's a

Spoiler

Fire Giant King

15+ and you know

Spoiler

King Snurre Iron Belly is the King of the Obsidian Halls, a Fire Giant refuge in the Jagged Peaks somewhere to the northeast of here.
He is known to be mighty strong, but he's has no reputation as a mastermind.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn move quickly to support the others out in the court yard.

OOC: I will dash and move to get to AG35.

 

[Blue]

OOC: History of King Snurre: 1D10+4 = [8]+4 = 12 Well, made the easier part. Glad I'm proficient else I would have had none of it.

 

[Hriston]

Bible stabs at the houndsman twice with her sword.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [16]+10 = 26 Damage: 1D8+8 = [8]+8 = 16 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [15]+10 = 25 Damage: 1D8+8 = [8]+8 = 16

Jack glanced at his quiver as he drew another quarrel and noted he'd somehow used half of his bolts already. "Knew I should have brought more," he muttered to himself as he moved towards a chimney in the outer courtyard to get some cover from the approaching ogres. He then took careful aim at the bearded hill giant and fired.

OOC: Jack moves to AM38 and then attacks. Sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [18]+10 = 28 1D8+6+5D6 = [1]+6+[3, 3, 6, 2, 1] = 22

 

[Lidgar]

OOC: Just a note that Jack would be very interested in hearing who may be behind the giants, but alas does not speak giant-ish, so all this dialog between Eoghan and the hill giant are gibberish to him.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The houndsman was so angered by Eoghan's tauntings, that he missed when he snapped his whip at Valda. He staggered as Bible stabbed him twice, and pulled a massive hand-axe from his belt, holding his whip in his other hand. He hacked down at the sailor-turned-reeve, and she failed to get her shield up in time. The first axe-blow drove her to her knees and the second dropped her to the ground.

Tenibor send out his deep funeral note, hoping it would send the giant to his grave, but the giant stood, even as Jack sent a quarrel into his belly.

OOC: Tenibor did 8, Bible did 32, and Jack did 22 to Houndsman, who double-critted Bible! for 53. (Dropping her); @Shadowedeyes Valda to go (and I will resolve Eoghan).

[Shadowedeyes]

"Crush under your boots? Not if I chop your feet off." Valda growls at the Houndsman as she hacked at his legs. Seeing the onslaught of blows raining down at her sister in arms, as it were, she called up on the runic magic she had stolen from the giants to help ward against the blows.*

OOC: Wow. Okay. Reaction abilities are kinda a pain in PbP, I know, but if it is feasible I would like to use my Runic Shield ability to force the Houndsman to reroll the first attack roll against Bible. Otherwise ignore that last part. I am also attacking. +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [6]+9 = 15 1D20+9 = [7]+9 = 16 +1 Longsword Damage: 1D8+7 = [8]+7 = 15 1D8+7 = [3]+7 = 10
