Round 10
Action 1
The hill giant had cut deeply the female 1/2 ogre like everyone else she wouldn't be able to wistand a second hit with out falling. Haveing no other choices really as he was the only one that could stand toe to toe for long againt him Mogwag went on the offense again.
Should the hill giant fall he will move 20 ft forward
Action 2
With the hill giant finally down for the count Mogwag moved 20ft forward toward the area where the Hagg disappeared and Channeled the healing affecting every creature
We will give runt a bit longer. Posting slows on the weekend.
Furious over her inability to strike the giant Runt roars and takes another swing at it gritting her teeth through the pain of the fresh wound delivered by the giant
Hp: 38(runt took 16 rather than 17 due to her damage reduction)
The hill giant takes 35hp from runt and mogwag, staggering. Still standing, if only just, he turns and slams into malgrim, trying to move deeper into the cave.
lemme get sum healin', then I'll get the lotno' ya he slurs, punch drunk.[/b]
The giant has taken 108hp and looks badly wounded.
Attacks of opportunity for runt, mogwag and malgrim
Malgrim just misses
Assuming he survives
"NO ESCAPE COWARD" Runt shouts in giantish taking a wild chop as the giant turns it's back to her
Hp: 38
As the giant withdrew from facing Mogwag he was able to land a deep blow on its back.
Mogwag's falchion slams into thr hill giant's back, cutting his spine in two. He stiffens, and falls to the ground in a shuddering heap. mistress he says, as if pleading with someone,reaching a hand out. Malgrims blade slices the hand and both runt and mogwag finish him
Finally, the giant is dead. Turgrim lies on the floor nearby, in dire straits.
moving forward, you find the chiefs room, filled with mist.
actions please
Fail, -1 HP
Mogwag raises his Bloodied weapon and roars in defiance as he had almost singlehandedly defeated the experienced hill giant
Round 11
I am going to channel, and it will also heal the giant some i need someone to hit him to prevent him coming back he says
affecting every creature in its radius and moving 20ft.
my pleasure Runt says with a vicious grin as she attempts to bring her axe down on the downed giants neck as positive energy flows over her mending her wound to a manageable level.
Anol stretches backward over his wolf's back feeling his cuts, bruises, and broken bones start to heal a bit. Husom shakes his head a bit, probably in the same spirit.
"Thank you, cleric!" He grunts. He waits to see where the three of them go, that he may follow them. It's clear to him that his swordsman and riding skills are less useful in this mission than his archery, and thus decides to stay behind the heavier hitters.
Turgrim rises to his feet. He grabs his jaw and yanks it back into place with a painful-sounding crack. His eyes silently close in pain.
"Good work, the caverns over their host strange voices,As for me I want the head of the hag on a pike!" Draxia says looking at the others with but a dagger in her hand. She looks over the fallen body of the giant.
"First someone see if we can get anything useful off big ugly here and then on to the Hag Slaying!"
The giant has a bag he was using as a pouch. In it is (assuming detect magic cast)
some rotten meat an a bone (a little snack)
250gp
Four potions
A magical dagger
3 gems
six rocks for throwing
"Draxia you are magic, check bag, figure out what he had. The hags head goes on no pike, I told her I would wear her head and I will." Runt snarled her body tensed under the stress of maintaining some level of composure while enraged "If we are going to wait someone decide so now otherwise I will go murder the Hag and take her head now." Runt growled and with that Runt awaits the decision of the group, if it is decided that they will hold for the moment to inspect the Giants bag Runt takes the time to take a few calming breaths and allow herself to fall back to a clear state of mind otherwise Runt proceeds forward with the others axe ready to tear into flesh at a moments notice.
Craft alchemy or spellcraft to id the potions (one round each)
Detect magic and spellcraft to ID the dagger (3 rounds)
While this goes on the mist starts to dissipate.
Turgrim follows Runt, not speaking. His eyes are focused on the floor ahead of him as he trudges forward, his chest cavity barely healed together again by the channeled positive energy.
"Perhaps the goings on in the cave with our comrades may lend us aid in battle. I say we see that through first, no point in going in with fewer resources than possible."
Anol starts trotting that way, but will stop and do something else if convinced.
Round 12
Don't give the Hagg more time to flee. We can do the looting later. So who is with me to inspect the Mist?
he says as he
Can your mount sniff her out? he says heading into the mist
Having seen him as a worthy fighting companion, Anol resolves to follow Malgrim's lead.
The positive energy brings him and his mount the majority of their constitution back.
As you examine the loot the mist fades away. Cautiously entering what runt calls the chiefs room reveals...no opponents.
An investigation reveals a large hole inethe roof, what was once a chimney has been expanded. The room shows signs of a hasty departure.
Perception rolls please.
Turgrim's eyes narrow. "Where did they go..." he mutters to himself, staring at the hole in the roof.
Draxia takes the items from the giant. With a bit of quick words and simple gestures the sorceress casts detect magic on the items.
Once the spell is cast she examines the dagger first.
Her rage slowly coming to an end Runt slowly wanders into the chiefs room, her fathers room, it felt so very wrong to be here and see how much it had been twisted by the hag, the chimney alone being greatly expanded and the room a ramshakle mess after what was likely the hags quick escape, she'd snuck in here many times just to explore the room and seeing it in such a sorry state put her in a sour mood.
"There is no exit from here... except..." Runt casts a glance back up at the chimney "She could have gone up?" Runt muttered more to herself as she attempts to get a better look into the chimney too see if there is any manner of ladder that the hag might have used to climb out.
Round 13 and 14?
As he release yet an other divine wave of
Yes she us this to get out but she only has at most 30 seconds on top of us. Mogawg is in heavy armor. Runt, Turgrim and Anol you are fast So head out and run her down do not let her escape. Use the wolf to track her if needed
Your perception reveals no method of ascending, but it coild out of sight above.
In one corner you see a pile of small bones, small ogre bones, well chewed. It is sadly obvious what happened to the young of the orge tribe. Hags like to eat the young.
Turgrim nods sullenly and makes off after the hag, climbing out first.
"One moment.." Runt mutters before making her way over to what appears to be a stump haphazardly modified into some sort of chair, her fathers 'throne' still remains where it always had been. Runt kneels next to the stump and begins fiddling with it opening what appears to be a hidden compartment wondering what her father might have hidden inside that he did not want the others to know of.
With further cracking and popping as his wounds scar over, Anol silently examines the room to ensure Turgrim's course out the chimney was the right course of action.
Runt Mogwag can guard this place if you want Mogwag to, but there is no time run after the Hagg don't let your comrades in arms go after her with out you backing them up. And that goes for you to Anol. We will do the looting after.
Also scattered on the floor is a collection of coinage worth 1500 gp.
"Husom and I will meet you outside, I will hold this money for us for now." Anol kneels and picks up the coinage as quickly as he can before mounting his wolf, and riding out to the entrance with the intention of making his way onto the roof.
"Well now, before we get to hasty it seems these trinkets could prove useful, the mail the club and the wand , get them now" She says caring little for who grabs them as long as they are grabbed.
"We can use these against the vile hag, and drag her carcass to the other tribe. Heck they might even give us a feast of gratitude!" She says laughing as she looks to the young shrugs and then heads to the hole with the others.
Anol and his wolf race out the door for the entrance. The rest od the group either look at the loot or start climbing for the hole.
Runt stands up from the stump not bothering to close the compartment as she takes from it a small pouch from which she removes a single item, a ring that is swiftly slipped onto her left hand. "Her head is mine, you can do with the rest of her corpse what you wish." Runt grunts before proceeding over to the club picking it up and looking it over for a moment, her fathers club a bit heavier than she had expected but that was perhaps a good thing, a heavier club would be all the better for crushing, the mighty weapon will be quickly fastened to Runts back as she removes her masterwork greataxe leaving it in her fathers room at least for the time being.
Runt watches as the others begin making there way up the chimney and shrugs, while certainly not the safest route it was likely the fastest assuming they did not fall. "We can divvy the rest up later, I have delayed us long enough as is." Runt says as she begins trying to make her way up the chimney.
Edit: Off to a good start! Lets keep it this way heh. With runt entering the Chimney last is there any way she could perhaps brace herself against the chimney in the event someone slips in an effort to keep things from dominoeing in a horrible fashion?
As runt moves onto the overhang, she slips and falls
Turgrim roll a DC 15 acrobatics roll to avoid this damage
Runt grins as she begins making her way up the chimney with surprising ease... and then beings swearing as she looses her footing and tumbles down the chimney only barely managing to manuver herself in such a way to protect herself from much of the fall and avoid squashing Turgrim. "This is perhaps a bad idea... " Runt mutters angrily as she stands once more
Turgrim makes his way up the wall, stopping from time to time, then slips and falls
acrobatics roll DC15 to avoid 1hp of damage.
At that a voice calls down from above.
Are you all having fun? It is Anol.
I can see that climbing here is important to you, but there is some rope piled here. If you like, I could lower it for you. We are in a bit of a hurry after all.
"Rope is always better"She says as she chuckles.This was thoroughly amusing to her as she waited for the rope to come down.
Anol throws it down to you. it is thick and knotted. DC 5 to climb. Most of you probably don't need to roll. you can take ten.
Once the party gets to the top, there is no sign of the hag or runt's brother. Survival checks for tracking if you wish to follow.
