Remnants of the Horde-Flight from Aruth

OOC: I don't want to hold up the game, so if I am, just ignore this: It's my interpretation that I'm not visible until after my attack. Still failed to trip I guess, but it would save me some HP's. Or he may have attacked Durgo but not Bargo, I'm confused.

The Muragar Captain throws his shoulder into the giant's legs but somehow it manages to resist him. Undaunted, Durgo's Maul arcs down toward the giant's wrists, humming through the air in an attempt to smash bones. The ogre steps forward, puts his weight under the lowered hammer and stands up swiftly, bringing it to bear under his foe's chin.

OOC: First attack is to disarm. +27+2(morale)+1(haste)= +30 opposed roll. This draws another AofO if the giant has combat reflexes, and if the giant wins, it gets a free shot to disarm Durgo with the same bonuses. :( Second attack is at +20 (2d6+23; 19-20 x3). EDIT: Hasted attack will also be to disarm if the first attempt failed and Durgo still has his weapon. If the disarm was successful he pummels the giant again at +25 (2d6+23; 19-20 x3).

If one of the disarms is successful, Durgo also does this:


Durgo takes a booted foot and plants it on the fallen axe, looking up at the giant, "You no match here. You stay, you die like dragon. Go tell you's captains dat Zuregath has returned!" The ogre raises his maul once more to accentuate his point.

OoC: As per the MM and the Talking thread, yep Storm Giants have Combat reflexes..let's see how this plays out, though.

IC Durgo attempts to Disarm the Storm Giant, who reads him, spinning his Axe around and hitting Durgo <37HP>.The Giant fails to disarm Durgo, however <He rolled a '1'>.


Durgo, undaunted, tries again to disarm the Giant , once more failing to disarm the Giant, as the massive Enemy laughs, catching Durgo in the chest once more with his Axe <AofOp,41 HP ack!>

Fuelled by his anger,Durgo tries once again,roaring in triumph as the Gargantuan Axe comes free from the Storm Giant's grip.
<He only has a +2 Dex mod>

"You no match here. You stay, you die like dragon. Go tell you's captains dat Zuregath has returned!"

Round Two The Storm Giant, still laughing at the puny Ogre before him, Smashes Durgo with a fist <19HP and 17 HP,plus Awesome Blow for poor Durgo>, sending him flying back through the air to land 10 feet away,Prone (and sitting in a big mud puddle...Ok, so I rolled a '1' for the second Ref save and I humiliated poor Durgo a bit :D ), though Durgo was able to smash him a good one <27HP> before going airborn...

Tsu'Koka is up...

Bargo adjusts himself to keep the giant inbetween himself and his allies with a quick step then sets about trying to chop the giants legs out from under him like the trees they are. He roars as magic and might fuel his swings and Elf Splitter works to earn itself a new name.

+21/+21/+21/+16 for 4d8+2d6+64 15/20 x2 (accounting for flanking, bard song, spells, and bane weapon, RA10, PA10, AC 14, FA)

Tsu'koka can't decide whether to foul himself or scream at the giant in frustration as the two huge creatures trade blows that would fell an ox. It takes an considerable effort of will not to do either.

Tsu'koka's gaze sweeps from the fallen Ogre to the laughing giant. The ogre is yours priest. Take care of him ...

But this much I can do
, and Tsukoka weaves Durgo's name into the chant*. Then drawing his bow, Tsu'koka releases his frustration at the giant [twang :( ]

*OOC: Redirect Inspire Greatness to Durgo. Move Action.
 

Tsu'Koka redirects his Inspiration and fire an ill-aimed arrow at the Storm Giant.

Forlash is up...

OoC:Slept, woke up..sat here, going to sleep again folks, it will be 6 or 7 hours before I post again, sorry.
 

Blaught watches from a distance, dismounting from Growlith and mokes his way silently to the giant, hoping that he can get within 10' of it without it seeing. He takes a flanking possision so taht if one of the others attacks, he'll be able to strike at it from his hidden spot. At least hidden until he is able to attack.

OOC: Full move while sneaking: Move Silently +25, Hide +25 Waiting to use Opertunist Rogue ability to attack the giant with a flanking attack: +19 +2 (flankning bonus) 1d6 + 3 + 6d6 (Sneak Attack) average: 27.5 damage. Not much, but it might help.
 

Seeing the Ogres being batted around like a cat does to rats does bring a smile to the Twisted hagson...
Focusing his energy once again Forlash gets about 40' away from the giants back, gathers a spear of pure energy and unleashes one of his last attack spells between the Giants shoulder blades...

OOC: Mana spear (10d6dam Ref 1/2 (18) and will save or lose 1d4 spell/ or spell like abilities....)
 

Forlash hits the Giant with a mana Spear <17HP after save>.

Bargo swings with Enraged abandon <hits for 88,97,95=280 HP and ugh..>, first slashing the Giant across the shins, hearing bones shear and then literally taking off both of his legs at the Kneecaps.

Frothing, bargo turns to Durgo, who is gaining his feet, rage in his eyes, Madness and rememberance of all of the torments and punishments he had ever suffered. Roaring, he raises Elfhewer, then pauses, a look of calm coming into his eyes. The Red Rage had passed. Bargo turns, triumphanty and leaps atop the Giant's chest, hacking down with Elfhewer, raising his fist,the head of the Giant screaming 'BARGO KILL GREEN GIANT! NOT SO JOLLY NOW,GIANT WHO LAFF!! HUR!HUR!HUR!'
