(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Hriston]

With her thoughts, Bible tells the others about the presence of the chest as she looks it over to see if it appears to be trapped in any way.

OOC: Wisdom (Perception): 1D20+6 = [2]+6 = 8

 

[Shadowedeyes]

'I can help with the ogre killing. Here to be muscle.' Valda mentions offhand through the mental link. That said, she appears slightly on edge, constantly scanning the courtyard for oncoming danger.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Valda was ready to work with Eoghan on finishing off the ogres. Inside the outbuilding, Jack found Bible poking about at a chest in the closet. It seemed likely that the houndsman would have a key. Either on his person, or hidden somewhere in this room.

OOC: Let's catch everyone up to Bible, who would have taken three rounds to get to the chest and check it over. Two for Jack. So quickly: What do the rest of you do for three rounds? (Which will put as at 4/10 rounds worth of Hypnotic Pattern).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Here's a new map.

Spoiler: Map

 

[TerraDave]

Tenibor carefully listens and looks for giants that might be coming their way or otherwise reacting while he slowly moves northward.

EDIT: He occasionally poses with the mallet as he does so. Unconsciously, of course.

(Perception = 24)

 

[Blue]

OOC: If/when people start attacking ogres, Eoghen will aid in with Vicious Mockery just so if it does get an attack it will miss, plus the minor damage. He will not strike first on our team, waiting until others are ready to do so. Here's three sets of damage, apply as many or as few as needed. DC 17 WIS save. Vicious Mockery damage (x3) 2D4 = [4, 2] = 6 2D4 = [1, 4] = 5 2D4 = [2, 4] = 6 I believe Eoghan was at AI26, not AS27. If he's not attacking in a round, he'll be actively listening/spotting for any foes behind the north gates or coming from those open doors to the NW.

 

[Lidgar]

Jack moves swiftly to Bible's side to inspect the chest for traps. His long years in the Guild guided his hands as he checked, all the while maintaining the mental link with the others.

~Someone check the houndmaster for a key,~ he conveyed while reaching for his lockpick set.

OOC: Investigation (traps): 1D20+7 = [2]+7 = 9 Obviously he's being pretty hasty in his search...

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Even over Eoghan's mocking of the ogres, Tenibor could hear a few attempts by the giants in the watchtower to hit the alarm-gong with another object (a fist, a bone from a snack, or something along those lines, he assumed). None created the loud alarm that the mallet would have, and he prided himself in his foresight. If the occupants of the steading had not heard the sound of the courtyard battle, they would not hear the sound of that gong. He knew that it wouldn't be long, though, before they found a tool more appropriate to the task (or gave up and sent a runner).

Joining Bible in the closet, Jack looked over the chest. It seemed a simple affair, if oversized, with a big iron keyhole and a simple heavy double-hinge. It didn't seem like the giant was clever enough to include any kind of trap. A key would be quickest and easiest, but why wait? His largest tool would probably do the trick.

OOC: Jack can try to pick it, if you like. Everyone seems busy with the ogres, though we'll see what Quinn does.

 

[Lidgar]

Jack pulled out his largest picks and inserted them carefully into the lock, using his keen senses to deduce the right pressure points on the tumblers.

OOC: Thieves Tools (pick lock): 1D20+13 = [15]+13 = 28

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn assists the others in dispatching the ogres.

OOC: Sorry for the delay. I was busy with family this past weekend. Below is a roll for each ogre using Produce Flames. Attacks to dispatch ogres.: 4#1d20+10 17 12 11 12 4#2d8 11 5 10 2 Wow that was some crappy rolling.
