[Blue]

"Orcs, Dwarves, throw off the chains of the bigguns! Death to the giants!"

"You craven, coal-witted canker-sore - you might make swords but I understand your own is just a dagger!", Eoghan roared at the Fire Giant.

OOC: Ah, the classics. Vicious Mockery at the Fire Giant. WIS save DC 17 or 5 psychic damage and disadvantage on it's next attack. Vicious Mockery: 2D4 = [2, 3] = 5

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Just prior to opening the door to the forge Quinn calls on the power of the stars. The bow tattoo on the back of his right hand begins to glow faintly and then increase until the druid is glowing brightly. As the doors are flung open Quinn he casts guiding bolt at the fire giant. The bolt of starry light hits. He then makes a gesture as if drawing a bow and an arrow of pure light forms and streaks towards the giant. Unfortunately Quinn does not want to hit Corbit and the arrow goes wide.

OOC: Action: Using a 1st level slot to cast Guiding Bolt at the fire giant Guiding bolt attack and damage: 1d20+10 26 4d6 13. Bonus Action: Attacking with Luminous Arrow Bonus action Luminous Arrow: 1d20+10 12 1d8+5 8. Though I did hit with Guiding bolt so that should have had advantage, here is the advantage roll Luminous Arrow advantage: 1d20+10 16 and it still misses.

 

[Hriston]

Bible's mouth falls open when she sees Cordit turn into a giant ape and head into the forge.

"Be careful, me swee' Cordit, an' don't get yerself kill't," she calls out as she looks on with pride at the halfling's bravery.

Having agreed to Jack's plan to assault the forge, she turns to Eoghan and Quinn, gesturing to the doors to their north, and says, "Le's try an' make sure no one get's out that way."

Then, drawing her sword, she turns to the orcs behind her and says, "C'mon, le's free yer frends!"

"Pardon me, good sir or madam," she mumbles as she leaps past the dwarf that stands between her and the fire giant, coming toe-to-toe with the great smith as she jabs it twice with her sword.

OOC: Position: CG-73 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [10]+10 = 20 Damage: 1D8+8 = [7]+8 = 15 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [9]+10 = 19 Damage: 1D8+8 = [6]+8 = 14

 

[Shadowedeyes]

As the doors fling open Valda pushes forward past the guards (assuming allied spaces count as difficult terrain) to engage the giant. She draws blood but knows that as a hardy lot, hill giants are going to be able to take a lot more before dropping. She invokes the rune inscribed on her shield to draw upon that very toughness of their opponents and use it against them.

OOC: +1 Longsword Attack Rolls: 1D20+9 = [20]+9 = 29 1D20+9 = [5]+9 = 14 +1 Longsword Damage: 1D8+7 = [5]+7 = 12 1D8+7 = [8]+7 = 15 Extra Crit Damage: 1D8 = [2] = 2 I missed that the first hit was a crit when I rolled damage, so I rolled a D8 for the extra damage on the first attack. Also, using my bonus action to use the Hill Rune, granting myself Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing damage for the next minute.

 

[TerraDave]

Seeing Valda slash into the brute, Tenibor will add some damage of his own.

(Toll the Dead for 12, DC 16 Wis save for half).

 

[Lidgar]

Jack saw the familiar instruments of torture and frowned. "Not good," he muttered as he let a quarrel fly at the hill giant Valda just engaged.

OOC: Jack attacks HG1. Sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [8]+10 = 18 1D8+6+5D6 = [7]+6+[5, 6, 2, 1, 5] = 32

 

[Blue]

OOC: @FitzTheRuke since it's my big spell left, I am looking forward to see Cordit's action. It's taken a bit but I think we have everyone's action gathered.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As the doors opened and everyone began to rush forward, Eoghan called out to the Fire Giant smith, insulting him. He looked up angrily and smoke puffed from his ears and nose.

Quinn struck the Fire Giant with a bolt of light, but missed with a second bolt as Cordit bounded in front, knocking the hot metal off the anvil. She began to pummel the giant with her big, ape-fists. The giant held a work-hammer in one hand, and he struck at her head, leaving big welts, as Bible moved beside her to help.

The reeve stabbed the giant twice in the leg, and he felt it. With his off-hand, the giant reached into the forge and pulled out a hot pair of tongs. He tried to clamp them at Bible, to get her off him, but she ducked to one side as the hot metal went clack clack over her head.

OOC: Yeah, I've been meaning to get to this! Eogan did 5, Quinn did 13, Bible did 29, & Cordit did 46 to FireGiant who did 35 to Cordit & missed BIble. More to come!
