Remnants of the Horde-Flight from Aruth

Bargo let's fly, but whatever elfie blood is in him doesn't help much as he is a ridiculously poor shot. When his arrows begin to swerve aside even more in the wind he drops his bow and pulls Elf Splitter back out.

Tsu'koka mutters a quick incantation and with a twist of the wrist sends power flowing into the muscles and sinues of the others and himself (and any mounts)*.

Done the hobgoblin resumes his chant and readies his bow, moving Blood away from the Orgres to give them room to move. When the giant's in range, he shoots.**

*OOC: Cast Haste: +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves; 1 creature/level; 1 round/level.
** +1 SCB (+2str), +14/1d6+4.
 

Bargo's arrow flies wide (But not by too much), before he once more raises Elfhewer...wondering how Elfhewer cut Giant if giant flying in air...

Tsu'Tsoka Hastes the Band.

Kurg casts Bless upon his allies,granting them <+1 attaks, saves vs. Fear>

OoC: Durgo?

***********************************************************

Wekerak streaks back towards the Band, intent on warning them of what he had seen in the Chasm...


************************************************************

Blaught streaks North, intent upon reaching Vespazian and telling him of the Giant's presence...

"Green giant stay back dere all day scared and throw lightning," Durgo's disembodied voice comments, "You make mojo to bring him here, Speaker? Bargo, make sure him see you. Den chop in half when him get close. Durgo has surprise for him..."

OOC: Move about 10 feet in front of Bargo and to the left of Bargo's line of sight to the giant. Ready action to attempt a Trip against the giant if it lands nearby and attacks. If it doesn't land but gets close, try to relieve it of its weapon. Still invisible. Trip: +14. Disarm: +27.

By Furcas! Damn overgrown thing catching up....Wait... there's the ogres..and some new allys. Catching a quick look back, Forlash notes that the green Giant has slowed down and looks like its preparing for battle. He reaches once again into his pack and pulls forth another scroll, the magical phrases so lovingly cut into the elven skin..The cuts it the flayed skin disappearing as he repeats them,his body fades from sight.

OOC: casting improved invisibility....then I'm going to circle around to see if I can flank the Giant while its occupied..
 

OoC: I'm kinda getting ahead of things, but you guys are usually up as I head off, so this is what Tsu'koka intends.

Tsu'koka feels the muted echo of the priest's spell behind the stronger resonance of his own word magick. Weaker, but useful. Yes useful.

Bringing his mount round a sufficient distance from the orgres to avoid getting tangled up in their melee, he returns his attention to the sky, and realises the Giant has stopped. He snarls in frustration. That means missiles. Tsu'koka breaks off the chant momentarily, mutters something and his outline blurs.*

Then the Song Speaker begins another chant. Its in a tongue so old few remember it, but its power is unmistakable. Bargo can hear his name woven into the words, can feel strength flow through his body.* Come now if you dare!

Resuming his watch of the sky, he looks for any opportunity to get a clear shot at the Giant.

*OOC: Cast Blur:This distortion grants the subject concealment (20% miss chance); 1min/level.
**OOC: Bardic Music Inspire Greatness on Bargo: 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply the target's Constitution modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves.
OOC: Spells Cast (1/3, 0/3, 1/3, 1/2, 0/0), Bardic Music (2/10).
 

Tsu'Koka casts Blur on himself.

Durgo moves to a more advantageous position.

Initiative

Storm Giant '20', 22 total (Ack!!!!!!)
Tsu'Koka 19
Forlash 16
Kurg 15
Bargo 13
Durgo 7


The Storm Giant begins running through the air, descending rapidly as he does so, Charging right at Bargo...With the sound like two boulders hitting one another, he strikes Bargo <hit, 35 HP and hit by Awesome Blow ability> and Bargo is flung bodily through the air like a rag-dolly, to land 10 feet back,on the ground...

Tsu'Koka (form the seeminly safer vantage point of a few feet away) Inspires Bargo to Greatness <+21HP including Con>.

Forlash casts Improved Invisibility on himself.

Kurg, distressed (and wetting hmself a bit), leaps for Bargo, casting Cure Serious Wounds <24HP>, yelling 'Up Bargo, Son of Durgo, Big Giant wants to bake us into his bread!

Bargo is up...

Bargo growls deep, barely even wounded, and answers back as best he can. His attack is wild and full of fury but with so much mojo backing him it is surprisingly dead on.

+23 for 4d8+2d6+64 (accounting for bard song, spells, and bane weapon, RA10, PA10, AC 14)
 

Ready action to attempt a Trip against the giant if it lands nearby and attacks. If it doesn't land but gets close, try to relieve it of its weapon. Still invisible. Trip: +14. Disarm: +27.


Does this not happen, then? EDIT: If so, it would seem the Disarm attempt is more appropriate given the situation.

OoC:Sorry, Velenne. Retro Trip attack.Ack, Durgo's provokes an attack of Op.
Oh, and I forgot to enter 'Bargo's Rage'...editing (whistles innocently).

Durgo tries to Trip the Storm Giant as he strides by <Trip hits, Durgo's roll is an 18+Str <10>=28, Giant's roll is also an 18+4 Size dif+14 Str= 36. Giant not tripped...>. The Giant fails to fall and swings at the invisible Durgo, missing him.

Bargo

Enraged and seeing Red, Bargo stands and swings, smacking the Giant a good one <86HP damage). That should show the stoopid greenie!

Durgo is up...
