(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (IC)

[Psion]

From cover of invisibility, Ari unleashes a torrent of lightning at the giants.

Shortly thereafter, Doorgath's storm elemental appears, a torrential living cloud of thunder and lightning. A loud clap of thunder peals out as a bolt of lightning sweeps out from the creature. The creature that had taken the brunt of Ari's lightning previously succumbs from the torrent.

Kullrund charges a giant, hewing into it with his falchion; energy momentarily arcs between Kull and the target.

Garrel, Peja, and Davreya move towards the giants.

[sblock=Doorgath]
You still have an action before the giants act; you merely completed casting and can direct the storm elemental as a free action.

But a closer look at the situation reveals the truth: one of the giants, a particularly cross-eyed specimen, had in fact been aiming at Garrel. "Garrel," Davreya calls out, "I'm right beside you. Go for that cross-eyed one."

Garrel nods not wanting to give away any more info to the giants than he has too. . . Not that it looks like they ae very bright, but why take chances."

close once more, double move full defense

Seeing that the combined electrical onslaught seems to be taking its toll on the giants, Ari maintains her distance and conjures a ball of lightning to attack the nearest creature.

[SBLOCK=OOC]

Ball lightning for 42 HP damage, Ref DC 23 for half. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=836131

The spell will last for 12 more rounds, can move up to 30' per round and does 13d6 per round.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Psion]

[sblock=Doorgath]I'm going to default your action for the round, so we can get moving...[/sblock]

Doorgath, having unleashed his elemental fury on the giants, wild shapes into a dire bear and moves 40' towards the giants.

Giants act:
One giant responds to Kullrund's attack, making two wide swings at him and missing.

One giant moves within 10 feet of Garrel and attacks. The club bears down on him, about to smash him. There's a thud on the ground. The giant seems momentarily proud of himself, until he sees Garrel is totally unharmed, the club having slid right through his form.

One giant moves within 10 feet of Peja. The brute swings his great club... the blow lands with a thud.

[sblock=Peja]
19 points of damage
[/sblock]

Ari speaks arcane words, and a ball of lightning streaks out and hits the giant attacking Peja, being closest to her. The clumsy giant doesn't notice the oncoming ball of lightning until it is too late, his huge frame dropping to the ground, the ball of lightning still hovering over his body.

[sblock=Status]
2 giants down, 2 remain (1 10 feet from Garrel, 1 5 feet from Kullrund)

Actions before the giants act next: Everyone but Ari.

"Come on, you can do better than that!" say Kull, to the Giant swinging wildly in front of him.

"Here, let me show you how it's done." he say, letting out a primal roar before swinging back at him.

[SBLOCK=Psion]Greater Raging (+6 Str, +6 Con, +3 Will Save, -2 AC) then using a full attack on the Giant standing next to me. I am Power Attacking for 8 giving me a +12 to damage. My AC is now 25 due to the rage.

Invisible Castle link for my 3 attacks - http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=838771

Result: AC 32, 20, 22

If they hit they do 36, 38 and 43 points of damage respectively.

Invisible Castle link for my 3 damage rolls - http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=838780

Depending on how many attacks hit, Kull takes 5, 1 and 2 points of damage from his own Vicious Weapon.

Here are the Invisible Castle links - http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=838782 and http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=838790 (I only rolled 1d6 by accident the first time )[/SBLOCK]

The club bears down on Garrel, about to smash him. There's a thud on the ground. The giant seems momentarily proud of himself, until he sees Garrel is totally unharmed, the club having slid right through his form.

Not only cross-eyed, Davrea thinks, but not too bright, either. This shouldn't take long. Davreya slips past the giant as its attention is focused on Garrel, then stabs the creature from behind, catching a vital spot.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Tumble check to slip past the giant. (1d20+18=37) (Though he may not need it due to invisibility.)
Attack roll versus the giant (sneak attack!). (1d20+14=24)
Damage versus a giant! (Assuming a successful attack). (1d6+3=8, 3d6=12, 5d6=14) That's a total of 34 damage.
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Psion]

Kull hews into the giant twice before it goes down.

[sblock=Kull]It only took 2 attacks to take it down, so take the 5 and 1.
[/sblock]

The final hill giant is startled when receiving a vicious attack from seemingly nowhere, but is still standing.

[sblock=All]
1 Hill Giant remains, facing Garrel and Davreya..

Peja, Doorgath, and Garrel have actions remaining.
I'm out for the night. Will pick it up tomorrow.

Peja winces from the blow dealt him by one of the giants. Seeing the last remaining giant bear down on Kull, Peja hustles over, quarterstaff in hand. Swinging his quarterstaff in an arc and bringing the weapon to bear on the giant's club while simultaneously dodging out of the giant's grasp, Peja attempts to sunder the club in twain before the giant can use the weapon to brain Kull.

[sblock=Psion]Move and Sunder w/quarterstaff +20, 1d6+3 dmg, crit x2. Peja's AC vs. giants is 24.[/sblock]

As soon as he can, Doorgath, Reisha and the Storm Elemental close upon the last giant, trying to finish him.

 

[Psion]

The storm elemental swoops in towards the giant. The giant tries to fend off the creature with his club, and manages to connect with little apparent effect. The storm elemental buffets and shocks the giant.

[sblock=Doorgath]
Storm elemental takes 20 damage before damage reduction.
[/sblock]

Peja closes, intent on disarming the brute. Peja's staff bites into his club, and splinters fly off, but the huge club remains intact.

Doorgath (in dire bear form) and Reisha (also, coincidentally, in dire bear form...) close on the giant. Doorgath's first blow rends the giants flesh, and he collapses.

[sblock=Status]
Combat over... what do you do?
