(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 2

[FitzTheRuke]

While all of that was occurring, Duvrael had slipped invisibly by until he could see into the north room - the servant's mess hall. He spied some big orcs (so big, they must have been the half-ogres known as orogs) who were grabbing pikes off of a wall-rack. He appeared and sent a lick of flame that exploded in the room, setting much of the area on fire - furs that hung from the walls, straw cushions on the chairs, all burned. An orc that was hiding under the table caught a daft of flames that billowed under, right in the face, and he died as his lungs burned.

The orogs had done their best to duck-and-cover, and while they were badly singed, they rushed forward in spite of it. Duvrael was shocked to see how aggressive they were - they ran straight at him, thrusting their pikes in a smouldering fury. They ran past the Colonel in the doorway, ignoring him entirely, but luckily for Duvrael, the third one was blocked by Kaligan, and it thrust its pike at him instead.

The wizard swung his staff, creating a magic shield, but the pike-blows still drove him on his heels. Kaligan parried both thrusts, while the Colonel summoned a floating trident that thrust down at one of them.

The Chef's wife threw another rock at the Colonel, and then two very dumb-looking hill giants came at him from the northern room. They fought for a moment over a single chair before finally grabbing their own, and they stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the doorway, taking turns swinging enormous chairs through the door, trying to crush the Colonel under them.

OOC: Duvrael killed Orc2 and did 26 Orog1 & 13 to Orog2 & 3; Colonel killed Orc1 and did 13 to Orog3 (I put the spirtual weapon there). Plus he can make an opp attack vs any of the three orogs, all of whom ran past him. (Probably the first one, then?); The orogs did 25 to poor Duvrael (who I assume cast Shield, or it would be more); Finally, three Schlubs did 26 to the Colonel if he doesn't have his shield on. (Otherwise they all missed).

Chaos, flesh and blood! the giant stood up as Kahru the bear chomped down on its neck fat. Kahru tried to get another pound of flesh, but failed…

OOC: Claws:1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11 Bite:1D20+7 = [2]+7 = 9

 

[Kobold Stew]

As the Orog passed by the Colonel reached to grab it. Lightning coursed from his fingertips, driving the creature back.

the colonel slammed the door and held it [EDIT: caused a wave of thunder to ripple out form him, knocking some of his enemies off his feet. Mean]while elsewhere in the room the trident struck fast.

OOC: The Colonel does have his shield; just no weapons. Opportunity attack: 1d20+10=17 HIT. Damage = 13 lightning, 5 radiant. Push the Orog (whichever one) 10' back (and so perhaps still in the main hall?) Round 4: Action to close and hold the door. (if possible). EDIT: CAST DESTRUCTIVE WAVE. From where he is, Three Schlubs and three Orogs are all within 30' of him. DC 18 save for each: On a fail, they take 19 thunder and 15 radiant damage (under average) and are knocked prone. On a save they take 9 thunder and 7 radiant. Bonus: Spiritual weapon against Orog 3 (EDIT: or move 20' and most wounded OROG). 1d20+10=21, damage = 1d8+6=7 force. Reaction ready as before. HP: 42/66. Spells left: 4, 1, 3, 3, 0. Spiritual Weapon round 2/10.

Doc cannot believe this black hat has survived the onslaught of bullets and the wellspring of hatred unleashed upon him. The delay in my vengeance just ensures a heavier blow.

Doc's fires at the Hill Giant Chef, reflecting that his justice may not be merciful, but it will at last be certain.

OOC: Action- Shoots at Chef. Has Sneak Attack (ally). First shot, sneak attack (target engaged), hex: 1D20+9 = [11]+9 = 20 1D10+5 = [4]+5 = 9 2D6 = [2, 2] = 4 1D6 = [2] = 2 Oof. I'll take a chance on a piercer reroll. Piercer reroll: 1D10+5 = [5]+5 = 10 Heh. Second Shot. Second shot (no sneak): 1D20+9 = [14]+9 = 23 1D10+5 = [7]+5 = 12 1D6 = [1] = 1 Total damage to Chef- 29.

The Hill Giant Chef struggled with Kahru in bear-form, and managed to get the upper-hand, throwing the bear off. He raised his cleaver, lunging in to gut the bear, but Doc put two ghostly bullets into his exposed under-arm. The giant spun around, wheezed, and fell over dead on the kitchen floor.

::Aaiiee!!:: shrieked the giantess from the little room, ::Yoo smalls kilded him!::

She flung a rock at Doc, that nearly bowled him over.

OOC: Kahru missed. Doc killed the Chef; His wife did 14 to Doc.

Rock vs Doc: 1D20+6 = [17]+6 = 23 for 2D8+4 = [3, 7]+4 = 14

 

[Tonguez]

Kahru the bear bellowed as the giant chef threw him off, before it then spun and fell down dead. The bear looked at Doc and let out a chuff which Doc might take as thanks, then rocked its weight back to the two surrendered orcs as he scanned the chaos of battle.

The floor around the north door was getting crowded, more giants and a swarm of half-ogres! Could the large white bear get through or would he need to go over the table? The bear growled at the wolves willing them to turn on the orogs…

OOC: just maintaining concentration as I wait for the next turn, can a bear give commands to dire wolves?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

just maintaining concentration as I wait for the next turn, can a bear give commands to dire wolves?

OOC: Well, the spell doesn't say anything about your 'verbal commands' having to be in a language the animal understands, (which frankly, they'd probably understand a bear's roar better than they would a man's language, anyway). So sure. Though ATM there's not really room for them up there.

 

[JustinCase]

Duvrael grimaces as he is injured by the orogs' pikes, although luckily his magical shield and mage armor help prevent some of the damage.

Tauntingly he smiles at both enemies, then hurls another mote of fire at the half-ogre to his left. Unlike the first spell, this mote does not explode into a ball, but rather it burns into the creature's armor like a blazing ember straight out of the Nine Hells.

OOC: Cast firebolt cantrip at orog1: 1D20+9 = [9]+9 = 18 2D10 = [3, 6] = 9 fire damage Since shield only last a round, I will cast it again as a Reaction if there is another attack against me. Duvrael AC15*(+5) HP 44/56 THP 0/13 HD 9/9 PP15* SSdc17 2/4 1/3 2/3 3/3 1/1 P 4,17

 

[Maxperson]

Kaligan seeing his companion Duvrael being harried by the Orogs with pikes, moves in a bit to the left so that he is standing in-between Duvrael and the two Orogs causing him the most difficulty. With great speed and accuracy, Kaligan cuts down the Orog that was just hit by the mote of fire and slices the other Orog deeply.

OOC: Two swings: 1D20+8 = [9]+8 = 17 1D20+8 = [15]+8 = 23 Orog#1 is killed by an additional 11 points of damage. Orog#2 takes 8 damage. 1D8+4 = [7]+4 = 11 1D8+4 = [4]+4 = 8 If Orog#3 hits me with his AOO, I strike back at him with a telekinetic blast(Gift of the Gem Dragon) Roll vs passive strength: 1D20+7 = [15]+7 = 22 for 2D8 = [5, 2] = 7 and it pushes it back away from me 10 feet, but not prone.
