With the way out made clear Laguz takes off for it with only the slightest hesitation. Easily making it under the portcullis, he moves off to the side to make way for others, and nearly running into Slitz in the process. Boz continues cranking the wheel and after it is about 2/3rds up he pulls the lever next to it locking it firmly into place as he himself gets ready to run. As Elsa carefuly makes her way past the giant leaving her monsters to lead the attack. Unfortunatly the giants are too well guarded and any attack aimed at them harmlessly scrapes off its tough hide or is easily deflected by his giant club. Aldreneth fares much better as he moves forward and jabs his sword deeply into the upper thigh of the giants leg piercing right through the bone. Before Aldreneth has even had a chance to fully appear the giant is howling in agony shaking the walls with the sheer power of his deep voice.
Giant #2, despite its maimed leg, raises his club high and slams it down right into Aldreneth's shoulder sending numbing pain wracking across his arm as his bone shifts out of position with a loud pop. Giant #3 manages to fins his footing but due to the space limitations just cant get by. So instead it steaps back off the grease spot and watches. Giant #4, feeling quite confident since his opponent failed to even injure him, rears back and slams its club into the mantis's face in two quick successive strikes shattering its face in on the second one and stumbling forward a bit (5 foot step) as the creature fades from this world in its death thrashes. Giant #1 stands there a moment and tightens his grip on his club as his gaze focuses on the zombie before him. However, when it seems like he is about to go through with his attack he merely yawns and seems to lose intrest in attacking as his grip just goes slack again.
OOC:
Boz, Elsa, Laguz and Tiayrek are all still invis
Aldreneth:
[sblock]24 damage. The bone thing is merely flavor. However, I do have a non-game question for you. Sam's Club has season 2 Nip/Tuck for $20. Want me to pick it up for you before they sell out? They also have season 3 for $40, but I doubt you want to spend that much on it.[/sblock]
Elsa:
[sblock]40 damage to Mantis 3 from 2 seperate attacks. Just so you know. That note wasn't directed to you. I was unclear about how the monsters actions were but you merely stated that you werent sure what to do because I didn't say. Nothing major there. Brian, however, made his post on my mistake sound like he was yelling/berrating me for it and so thats why I replied to him in such a manner.[/sblock]
Battle map
Did the 24 damage include DR? And to make sure, did you remember my 34 AC?[/Sblock]
