(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Blue]

Eoghan followed well behind so as not to interrupt the stealthy scouting. He gestured for the liberated prisoners, dwarves, and freedom-looking orcs to follow along as well.

 

[Shadowedeyes]

"Save it. I've got one I can use." Valda nods in appreciation to Bible however before fishing out her own vial and downing it.

OOC: Back up to 35 hit points. Potion of Greater Healing: 4D4+4 = [1, 4, 2, 1]+4 = 12

 

[Blue]

"I am not in the front, please take mine even if just to hold", Eoghan intoned while holding out another vial.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Jack slipped into the furthest tunnel, following Tenibor, who seemed to be stumbling off into the dark in some sort of daze. The others went to follow him, letting him have something of a lead. Where the tunnel split into multiple passageways, Bible was stepping over a ridge of rock when it suddenly slid sideways and then reached up for her. She dove to the side, and realized that the whole of the tunnel had erupted into stone-like tentacles. Two were wrapped around Cordit's ape-arms, and another was wrapped around Valda and dragging her off into the north-west tunnel.

Eoghan had been holding back, keeping track of the new dwarf and orc freed prisoners (though it occurred to him now that it might be safest to send them to where the Elf Knight Tamanar was watching over others of their kin with two human guards, back in the Crypt that had been converted into a barracks). Through Cordit's shaggy ape-form, he could just make out the dwarf Harmock, who seemed to be watching with sinister amusement as Valda slid past him.

[Blue]

"Cordit, move!", Eoghan called, blocked from even seeing what was happening.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn tries to push around Cordit to see what was attacking the group. As he tries to move a ball of fire appears in his hand ready to be thrown at any enemies.

OOC: I will try to move past Cordit up to DT81. I will then cast Produce Flame at the Roper if I can. If not I will hold and cast when I am able. Produce flame attack at Roper: 1d20+10 24 2d8 8

 

[Blue]

OOC: This is for if Cordit moves. Otherwise, Eoghan will ready looking for more enemies

Eoghan dashed toward the noise, surprise flicking his large eartips back. He paused for a brief moment then a defiant poem ripped from his lips.

"A skin of stone / and without doubt / a heart of one too,
Arms that reach / to feed a maw / of that we hav'a clue,
But Valda comes / and Bible too / times look bad for you,
We won't be stopped / not by a block / can't beat our retinue"

He coughs and looks around.

~<My apologies, Common scans so oddly. Arg, I could have done 'your death is overdue'. No wait, too many syllables.>~

OOC: Move action to DT83. Vicious Mockery : WIS save DC 17 or 3 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack. Vicious Mockery: 2D4 = [1, 2] = 3

 

[Hriston]

Bible has just replaced her last healing potion safely into its pouch and is about to follow Jack along the tunnel, when she sees tentacles wrapping themselves around Cordit's arms.

"Hands off!" she says as she draws her sword and slashes at the tentacles.

OOC: Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [19]+10 = 29 Critical damage: 2D8+8 = [5, 5]+8 = 18 Longsword, +1, attack: 1D20+10 = [12]+10 = 22 Damage: 1D8+8 = [4]+8 = 12

Then, having freed her friend, she charges off down the tunnel to assist Valda.

 

[Blue]

OOC: @Lidgar , @Shadowedeyes it's your actions.

 

[Lidgar]

Hearing a commotion behind him, Jack frowns at the back of Tenibor before pivoting on his heel and moving swiftly back towards the others. "Damn," he cursed as he rounded the corner, seeing a mass of tentacles and some kind of pillar of rock with plenty of teeth just in front of Valda. He then once again brought out Darling and fired, only to see his shot go wide.

OOC: Jack uses cunning action to move and then dash to DU81 or thereabouts. Sneak attack with light crossbow: 1D20+10 = [5]+10 = 15 1D8+6+5D6 = [1]+6+[1, 5, 1, 4, 3] = 21
