[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6287471, member: 9255"] CREATION SCHEMA SEGMENT 356 “FIRE GIANTS” 4/11/14 ARYTH 27, 999 “Now much longer?” asks Play in his usual immature way. “Your humor grows on me…. Like an ugly wart ….” Grumbles the dwarf. “Based on the heat and the smoke…. Not long.” Answers Calli. They are climbing out of a valley. It is very hot and humid here. Thick black smoke is above them. Kim has used up his teleportation spells, as have the others. At the top, the trees have no leaves. The heat was removed them. The earth looks burnt and crisp. Vapors rise from cracks. “Are walking into a volcano or are were already there?” Play mutters to himself. They reach the top finally and tall black and red stone made wall is there. Jasyne scans the wall. “Won’t be easy to climb. It looks half melted in areas.” Play looks into his pack. “I have Spider Climb potions left. Two of us could climb up and secure a rope for everyone else.” “Or….. assume we are going to meet some resistance on the other side and step back to camp. Restore our strength and magic. Come back in the morning.” Suggests the archer. “He has a point. Let’s fall back and do that.” ARYTH 28, 999 “Yup. I see six… no- eight….. Fire Giants…..” whispers John Play. “Any gaps in the defense?” whispers Jasyne Symtex. “If you are asking if we could get in without a fight- yes. But to draw the giants out to locate the Schema- doubt it.” “The two of you are making a lot of assumptions.” Adds Kim Elderich. “I say we do it.” Comments Calli ir’ Sivis. “Sigh…. Agreed.” Succumbs Glyder Freetime. Without saying anymore nor asking- the Dark lantern leaps invisibly over the edge of the wall and begins to attack. The yells loudly as the magical Tonfu strikes its knee. The invisibility spell breaks up. “Drow!” it yells in Giant. (DM NOTE: Play generally is dressed in pure black complete with a black face mask.) Telepathically, Glyder reaches into the lead giant’s mind and yells “take cover- Dragons!” The Fire Giant goes low and rushes to the wall for protection from a dragon flying in. Some of the Giants look to their leader but the one Play struck wants the “drow” removed. A large flaming sword strikes Play twice. He is quick to think this may not have been such a good idea. (duh) The archer loses his invisibility as he fires rapidly into an unsuspected giant. Only one arrow misses its mark but one explosively strikes a main artery in the neck. It is dead before it even hits the stone walkway. The dwarf releases a Cone of Cold into the midst of the Giant formation. The cold makes them scream in pain and others to move away further breaking up the formation. Calli Shouts at the panicked giants. This will both damage the giant and further draw others from the many hiding places beyond the wall. The damaging sonic blast more startles the Fire Giant than harm him. Play repeatedly pounds on the giant’s knees hoping to cripple it. A portal opens near the leader and a lion headed powerfully built creature steps out- a Leonal. It understands Glyder’s need and moves in for the attack. Play is swatted with a flaming sword again but dodges the remaining attacks. The summoned Planar Ally is struck several times by the leader whom has come to realize he was tricked….. and is not happy about it. Jasyne drops another giant as his arrows strike home (Bane vs Giants no less). Elderich releases another cone of cold which narrowly misses Play but strikes three other giants, dropping two with frosty breathes escaping there grey lips. Calli looks onto a fire giant looking to flank the group. She begins to hum and gently whistle a simple spell-song. In giant she begins to tell of a tale of betrayal by giant kind and once she has his attention overwhelms his mind. He turns to instead attack his treasonous allies. It downs a frigid ally. Play tumbles behind a different giant and wallops its knees and it falls- its head. It doesn’t get up. The planar creature gets in one last swipe with its talons on the leader before being destroyed. Glyder feels bad about all of this. He truly hates violence so he takes a moment to look around. A few giants are rising from holes in the ground but not many. Good. Play is struck again as he is caught with his back turned to the damaged and limping giant he started with. Five arrows strike with explosive precision on the leader. It makes him step back from the repeated magical blows but he takes it…. Somewhat to Symtex’s surprise. This one is a leader through strength. “Leave the leader alive! Maybe he knows where the schema is so that we don’t have to kill all the flaming giants!” calls out the dwarf. Calli commands her giant to grapple the leader. The leader recognizes what is happening and strikes the soldier as he reaches for him. Then the leader easily holds off the soldier while cursing in giant. Tired of being swatted by the huge flaming swords, Play leaps up and repeatedly pounds on the giant that just struck him. It stopped moving about three strikes before Play stops. The leader feels he must take down his own soldier before attacking the others but finds he is holding back (half the damned dice rolled were 1’s) Jasyne takes down a giant climbing the stairs to reach them on top of the wall. He hopes this discourages them from further attempts. Kim warns the leader that they will kill him if they must in its own language. “Do you have the Schema? It is a metallic round “coin” about two feet across? It belongs to me and it was stolen.” “Yours?!?” He screams back at the dwarf. “It was traded to us fair.” And the giant diverts its attention back to its controlled soldier. He slices the forearm of the reaching soldier and pushes him away again. “Unhand his will witches!” Changing her song and direction slightly, Calli sings to the Leader. His arms and legs become stiff and heavy. The other giant easily grabs his arms and pulls them behind his back. “Good idea but being held stops him from talking.” Grumbles Play as he searches his pack for healing potions and burn cream. “Allow me” says the Time Traveler. “I am already in his head from before the conflict began.” [/QUOTE]
