IG's SoW: Rescue at Rivenroar

[Shayuri]

(init 6 Roll Lookup Suggestion for future, init rolls might be good for the GM to roll all in a bunch, and then post the init order in the setup post...so we don't have to wait for each PC to sound off...and then wait again for each PC to act. )

 

[industrygothica]

[sblock=ooc]Yes, I thought about that after I posted. Hopefully I'll remember when the next round starts.

fyi- I'm trying out Google's new Chrome browser just to see the difference between it and Firefox. All I can say at this point is... Wow! This thing is lightning fast comparatively. I can't believe the difference. But I suppose this really belongs in the OOC thread.[/sblock]

As the guardsman approaches the strange sight, he is immediately cut down by an arrow from one of the hobgoblins. The other lights a cask of some sort and then hands it to the ogre attached to the cart, who promptly throws it against an adjacent building, setting it alight.

Peregrine gulped back a gasp of fear as he espied the ogre. “What a monster!” he exclaimed, hoping the others didn’t notice his involuntary flinch.

“Better not take any chances here.” He placed his hands on his shoulder and murmured a prayer to Kord. He heaved a sigh of relief as his God answered him and a flush of healing energy suffused his body.

“Now then, what’s to do? We can’t let this go on, can we?”

Peregrine hefted his shield and scimitar and walked forward towards the ogre with a purposeful stride.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Elias shivers at the sight of the ogre. "Indeed, that thing is a monster" me whispers to himself in agreement to Peregrine.

Elias will take a few steps forward so the ogre is within range, curse it, and blast it with eldrich energy.

OCC: Init for current round: 4
Attack ogre: 17 vs dex
Damage ogre: 10 (9 blast, 1 curse)
Init for next round: 18 (yay!)

[sblock=OOC]I'd like to update sometime Monday, if you all who haven't acted have time to do so.[/sblock]

On seeing the giant lumber into view, Aliyas is momentarily too shocked to react...but when she does, it's decisively. She pulls an arrow to nock and strides forward until she is at the forefront of the party. With but a moment to aim, the elf unleashes a shot that flies with uncanny accuracy...straight into the monster's right knee!

(Hunter's Bear Trap! Dex to hit: 26 Roll Lookup doing 27 damage! (22 from shot, 5 from hunter's quarry) Roll Lookup Ogre is Slowed and takes 5 ongoing damage until it makes a save to end both.)

 

[industrygothica]

A guttural roar fills the streets of Brindol as Aliyas's arrow digs into the ogre's knee. The screams are cut short, however, as Elias's edlritch bolt steals the ogre's attention; if the ogre and its riders weren't focused on your group before, they most certainly are now.

OOC: If the others haven't posted by late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, I'll NPC them with logical actions and move on to round two.

Illian fires another arrow at the ogre and it glances off its shoulder, opening a nasty gash.*

Brega throws his hammer also at the ogre, but his aim is off and he succeeds at nothing but breaking a window.**

The ogre hobbles forward, its blown-up knee still bleeding profusely.*** One of the hobgoblins (h1) hands it another fiery cocktail and it quickly launches it at what it perceives as its biggest threat, Aliyas. Fortunately for her, the ogre has terrible aim and the thing lands behind her in a small explosion of sparks and burning embers, setting the grass on fire.

The other hobgoblin (h2) takes up its bow again and sets sight on the approaching halfling. Unlike its ogre counterpart, the hobgoblin's aim is dead on, and the arrow finds its way into the small paladin's right shoulder.****

* Illian hits for 4 damage
** Brega rolls a natural 1
*** Ogre failed its save
**** Peregrine takes 13 damage

"Ouch! That hurt!" Peregrine is a little shocked by the power and accuracy of the hobgoblin's arrow. It almost makes him change his mind about his intended target. Almost, but not quite.

He closes his eyes and whispers a prayer to Kord before drawing forth the arrow. [sblock=OOC]Lay on Hands = 6 HP recovered.[/sblock]

Then with renewed vigor he calls down the wrath of his God on the ogre before him. [sblock=OOC]Radiant Delirium: Daily: Ranged 5; 18+4 = 22 to hit vs Will Roll Lookup : damage = 3d8+4 = 23: Roll Lookup Target dazed until the end of my next turn; In addition target gets -2 to AC (save ends)[/sblock]
