S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black

Thanor Spikeshield

Thanor staggers back, almost losing his balance as the weight of his armor shifts. He jabs his axe awkwardly at the giant's fist.

"Ye black-hearted devil... If it's roughhousing ye want..."

OOC:

The remaining giant advances into melee range with Sanne, striking out at her with his club in a double-handed overhead arc, but it slams into the ground next to her.

The ogres, running out of javelins, advance as well, taking up flanking position on Yoggrith, which does not work out so well -- one of them is still bent upon attacking Thanor, whose attack is easily avoided, whereas the other steps on a fallen giants leg and misses Yoggrith completely.

With the Ogres conveniently lining up in front of her, Sanne presses her attack, twice breaking past their defenses, opening up terrible wounds that almost drop it.

Thanor steps into melee range, and brings his axe down, aiming for the Ogre's knee, cutting their sinew and lodging in the bone.The axe's electric aura darts out small lines of lightning, arcing towards the metal parts of the Ogre's armor. Thanor's eyes dart towards Sanne and her duel with the other Ogre, frustrated that he'd be exposed if he tried to reach her.

The elf smiles grimly as another giant falls to his onslaught of arrows, and turns his attention to the remaining visible hill giant. The sound of arrows whizzing through the air is like a sweet, sweet music, two solid "THUNKS" are heard over the din of the battle, and the giant is staggered.

Morika swings with fury toward the wolf, her low form almost jumping from the force of the swings. The blood flows freely from her small frame, but she's still giving more then receiving.


The wolf bites harmlessly at Morika -- almost falling to its feet with its clumsiness.

Yoggrith spies the grotesque face of the ogre before him and smacks it twice soundly with his spike-filled staff -- knocking it to its knees, then floor, dead. "Your pitiful soul now belongs to the Shadow."

TACTICS: May I suggest Sanne kills the ogre (maybe with Thannor's help), Morika attacks the wolf, Arenduil finishes off the giant and maybe starts on the ogre and Yoggrith retreats and fires off some mass cure (or heals Sanne or Morika, not reading his spell list now)

Otherwise, Morika could heal herself somewhat, but it would leave Sanne wide open to canine tripping goodness


[sblock=Spells Prepared]
DC 13 + spell level

0th – create water, cure minor wounds x2, detect magic, detect poison
1st – cure light wounds, updraft(SC), shifter prowess (RoE), faery fire, creeping cold

OOC: Sorry, must have missed that. Will update map. Overall results are the same, however, the ogre will just be a bit more north of Sanne -- AQ53/54, to be exact.

Full attack on Ogre 5; if she drops it, move on to Ogre 8

Assumption is two hits, confirm crit failed.

I think it's safe you can write off Ipshivi out, at least for this fight. Her blasts maybe would have helped us, but we'll pull through.
