Shifty Group Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Shifty?

Bree, poor old Sable is permanently blind and flying about near the roof (one Giants can wander down) so not able to be grabbed...hes probably 30'+ or so above your head.

Permanently?!! Holy Sh!t. I figured he'd be too high up but figured it was worth asking about.

No, not permanent. I'm pretty positive I can fix it. And if not Celestra can the next day. We do need to get through this fight though.

Until then I can use Beast Eye and Familiar Bonding to see through Korax, Detect Thoughts and Telepathic Bond otherwise. A minor setback!

Bree, so whats the actual action? - you have a Stone giant now very interested in Sable and about to act, a blind Sable on a roof, and help between one and two rounds behind you :) No pressure...

I'm sorry, I had no idea you were waiting on me for further comment. Again. I thought we were waiting on you to slaughter us :D That's cool, though, given the option to change my actions from what I last said, she would instead drink a fly potion and try to get up to Sable to start pulling him back. I'm having issues with the map right now so I can't move.

Dex w/ acrobatic feat bonus for flight if needed 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22

OK you draw and drink a potion, thats a full round, you'll be able to fly next action :)

Update when I get home, and yeah it's probably going to be a bit ugly...!

I might write up Shifty's guide to Scouting as a tactics and strat guide at some point

Going to take for granted that Sable healed me up with the wand. HP = 126/129. Full move 80'

"Damnit! Not again..."

Cursing as he burst forward, Kabal readied himself for the worst...that woman better not be in trouble...

Healing him up was the plan. Sable, I still need you to tell me how many charges to deduct from her wand.

When is Bree not in trouble, lol.

The Giant on the throne speaks to his companion:

The other giant responds by hurling boulders at the blinded Witch.

Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 - hit
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 - hit
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Sable gets rocked by the blows!
0hp?

What spells do we have in affect at the moment?

Nada

Bree - it would have taken 4 charges from the wand, thank you!

Not many. I really want to cast haste, but we keep ending up disbursed all over the place, making it less effective.

Round 1
Knowing that she cannot reach the giants, Ailetha points at the rock thrower while speaking words of arcane power. A purplish aura emanates about the giant for a moment before disappearing.

Standard: Cast Confusion - DC19 Will or confused (range is 200', should easily reach)
--> Would love to get both of them, but they seem to be about a foot too far apart. If it is possible to catch both in the 15' radius burst, she will.

Move: move forward 30'
--> she moves such as to place one of the pillars? statues? between her and the rock throwers

He was alternating using her and and another of his own. Wasn't sure what his did so was gonna let him do the math :D

Will 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

The spell takes hold.

The boss points at Ailetha - clearly she's next on the hit list.

You have partial cover behind a statue

either of those giants chargeable from Kabal's current position? 80' movement

Its iffy, but if you can make a DC16 Acro check to jump the rise in front of the Blue (Leader) it could work

Seeing the spell take effect on one of the giants, Ailetha calls out to Kabal and the others.
Stay away from the rock thrower, put the big one between you and the rock thrower.

Which one is blinded?

Sable is blinded. Ailetha cast Confusion. With any luck, the rock thrower will roll high and begin to attack his buddy standing next to him. I don't want Kabal to be closer than the second giant. Thus, why Ailetha shouted for Kabal to get the leader between himself and the rock thrower.

Gotcha, thanks. Sorry for the stream of OOC but Kabal is pretty confused now too. Which one (left or right) is confused or rock thrower?

Based upon Shifty's reference of "Enemy G chuck!", I would assume that it is the green one which is now confused. I could be wrong though.

That is correct - B (Blue) is the boss, G (Green) is his henchman. Green got nailed with a confusion. Sable is floating near the roof, blind, and having been pelted with boulders...

Sable coughs up blood, reaching blindly for the ceiling, and muttering in his native tongue. "Dyna'r tro cyntaf i mi wedi clywed o ddal un aderyn gyda dwy garreg."

Thanks Shifty and Ailetha, makes sense now. Completely missed the B and G before.

Taking in the scene all Kabal knew was that he had to get himself between the giant and Bree...and Sable...what in damnation is he doing up there anyways?... The big man spit as he took long, loping strides to charge the bigger of the two giants and came down with an overhead chop as he leaped the last bit of distance towards his new foe.

HP = 126/129, Free action - Rage rd 3/13, Charging

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Charge attack: 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 19 + 4 + 2 = 42

Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17

Aoo on Kabal moving through threatened space

Attack (Trip) 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42

Kabal almost reaches the giant, but its ridiculously long arms work ti its advantage, and it sweeps him with an Earthbreaker, knocking him prone and short of the target.|

Round 1

Celestra doubles moves up to get in position to offer her support.

My dearest Cayden Cailean! Guide me and help me to keep my companions alive. These foes do not look pleased to see us!

The leader speaks

*Sable - were you taking an action?

Ailetha shouts back in the guttural language of the giants, tossing in the stony accent of the stone giants for good measure.

Evil Eye Hex... nope, Burning Gaze... nope...

Sable will attempt to use his last efforts to steal the low grumbling voice of the giant on the throne.

Perception (Listen): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (19) + 31 = 50
Rolling against Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 19
Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Casting Steal Voice- Fortitude Save DC 16

You are on 0, move action ok, standard action means you fall over and begin dying - sure you want to cast? Or is that a heroic last stand? :p

Heroic last stand knowing that the strain of spellcasting will cause Sable to start dying, but assuming he is not hit by another boulder, he will innately feather fall to the floor with flight hex.

That's ok, just wanted to be 100%

Sable bravely casts a spell in defiance, then collapses and begins dying.

The leader tries to speak 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 - and manages.

Casting a spell, he too begins flying, ascending 15'

Celestra

Seeing Kabal lying on the ground and Sable floating gently down as well, Bree growls in frustration and takes flight headed towards the giant before throwing a dagger at him.

Roll if needed for flying 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
15' up 15' forward

Frost Dagger Thrown 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 = 25
Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Cold Damage 1d6 ⇒ 2

Now is when we hope that the Jolly Green Giant rolls REALLY high on his confusion roll.

The dagger hits, just, and magaes to cause a slight wound.

Green
1d100 ⇒ 58
The other giant smacks itself in the head with a boulder.
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

/poke?

just waiting on my turn.

Stabilize: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4
-2 HP

HP 126/129, Rage 4/13. Move action Stand up. Move 5' back

With a grumbled, 'Blast it.' Kabal got to his feet just slightly embarrassed and angrier than he'd been before. The warrior took in the situation and sneered when he saw the biggest of the giants flying above his head...chicken s*!!... Their group was all sorts of out of place and Kabal meant to change that and growled directions at Bree. Hew as seething that once again the others had dawdled way behind and knew it might cost them dearly.

'Back it up a bit babe. Time to regroup.'

Hoping to be able to get the group a little more buffed up, Ailetha moves another 30 feet forward while trying to keep another of the statues between her and the giants. When she gets there, she looks at Kabal, who appears to be ready yo retreat with Bree, and her long time companions behind her and calls out.

All, get closer to me so that I can speed you up.

Ready Action to cast Haste <-- as soon as Karlan and Kabal are both within range.

Kabal - you should be able to move 40' back as a move action. Standing is one move, and the 40' would be the other. If you move back toward where Sable is, then I can hopefully get you and Karlan in a haste when Karlan flies by.

Sable has arrived on the ground in a pool of blood.

Ailetha positions and begins casting (readies for Karlan to pass through).

Kabal stands (Can move to Ailetha)

/Paging Karlan and Celestra?

Celestra is at GenCon for the next week. I doubt we will hear from DMHW. Should probably bot her and double move her forward.

My guess is that she would move to heal Sable.

was waiting to see if kabal was going to move as suggested or not.

Karlan runs.
