Andrea runs through Daniel and Orsin's squares to -C,5(Right under the 'C' and holds there.

Done

Giantess... back!

There is a giant in here? Not surprising considering what we fought at the tree.

My love! Do not feel lonely, I will soon be with you again! No shadowbeast or Hellknight shall keep us apart.

Daniel reacts as soon as he hears the word 'Giant',
The paladin casts RIGHTEOUS VIGOR on himself and moves to -A5 beside the rogue, looking into the room and seeing his new foe activates SMITE EVIL.

His sword in hand, he smiles, letting his Orcish incisors show.
Want some help?

Current Buffs: Righteous Vigor, Smite.
Current AC vs Giant is 28/16/27(if evil, no shield)

All yours, big fella... Frank and I'll be back here, in case she gets by you.. Gerard withdraws.

Gerard this looks more ogre like...it's still a giant subtype.

When listing buffs, guys, don't forget to include IC! :)

Andrea feels Orsin's deep baritone voice fill her limbs with strength. Coupled with her divine aura that sapped the will from foes, she felt her confidence return.

All yours, big fella... Frank and I'll be back here, in case she gets by you.. Gerard withdraws.

lol. I am reminded of various movies (The Mummy, Van Helsing, Conan etc) where the protagonist steps up and his sneaky buddy steps back!

You're a smarter man than I!
Daniel growls at the 'ogress'?

This might get drawn out like the twin thief fight. She(?) has her back to the wall. Perhaps Orsin could get in there with you.

You mean the two exploding thieves? That was awesome. Personally I can see how a pally would have struggled a bit with the Moral implications of this AP but combat wise this AP is a Pally's dream. Predominantly evil foes who are either Human (good for CM's) and lots of small spaces that force full attack melee. Surprisingly the Outsider Bane Longsword has had little impact, but I suspect that will change. ILLNERIK is evil UNDEAD so my first smite full attack is gonna do DOUBLE Damage! Large foes are not much of a problem either. Daniel is just doing what Pally's do. Stand back and let everyone else handle skills (except Diplomacy) and Magic. When evil comes he makes it smoosh

Initiative Order:

Crone - change shape grabs sword
Orsin - moves and Inpires courage +2 Att/Dam

Euphemia - will move up to and grabs Frank.
Daniel - buffs
Gerald - withdraws

Frank: "Euphemia grab me...Now!"

MAP RD 2

RD 2

The ogre shifts 5 feet, (if necessary to get a full round attack Daniel), and gets a crazed sparkle in her eyes when she strikes out with her greatsword 2 handed at Daniel,

att 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) + 15 = 25

att 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (4, 3, 5) + 15 = 27

The sting of her blade rips the young half-orc.

The room is tight but perfect for her defense letting her foe enter one at a time.

52 HP of damage if the 30 hit.

Doesn't Daniel have cover from the side of the door? It looked like a 5ft opening. Edit: Gerard, Baldwin did not say Azreal was back yet and the pally would not risk permenent destruction of a CALLED ally.
The paladin briefly uses lay on hands on himself
LOH+Fey touched: 5d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 1, 4) + 10 = 32
Removing a good portion of his wounds, then Bleeding he growls.
He then 5 ft steps up to reach this evil head on!

Righteous Vigor, Inspire Courage, Smite: 1d20 + 16 + 0 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 0 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 29
2 handed Inspired, Smite,PA: 1d8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 9 = 36

Righteous Vigor, Inspire Courage, Smite: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 32
2 handed Inspired, Smite,PA: 1d8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 9 = 29

Assuming it's evil with 29AC or less, Daniel did 65 damage, gained +2 morale to hit via his spell and some temp HP, I''ll roll now:
1d8 ⇒ 5
1d8 ⇒ 8

Azreal, there was a window behind the crone, can you threaten from outside there? Gerard let's Frank jump off (drop) from a safe waist height.

Daniel I'll give you part cover +2

Daniel I'll give you part cover +2

Haha! Both hit. but provided it's evil Daniel is doing fine! I love RIGHTEOUS VIGOR!

If Euphemia ca, she'll hex the heck out of the voman Evil eye, of course.
Euphemia is relieved to be reunited with her familiar, to be sure.

Andrea will 5' step up to Daniel and defensively cast CLW(Converting Detect Undead)

Concentration check, DC 17: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Euphemia the issue is being able to "see" the crone. It's inside the room, Daniel is at the door, you'd have to move up then figure out a way to look inside....possibly drawing an AOO.

Andrea will 5' step up to Daniel and defensively cast CLW(Converting Detect Undead)

[dice=Concentration check, DC 17]1d20+15
[dice=CLW]1d8+5

Thx

Azreal, there was a window behind the crone, can you threaten from outside there? Gerard let's Frank jump off (drop) from a safe waist height.

If Frank is safe, she might try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I hope I brought slippers of Spider climbing.

Nope. I got nothin'. I need to prepare more buffs next time. Hmmm. Or pick up the fortune hex. I think I'll just heal or Guidance Daniel if I can get close... Better than nothing.

You have not problem getting close Daniel, it's the looking inside the room part for the evil eye hex that was problematic.

Azreal is still reporting to the Tilneros.

Been busy today. As far as Azreal is concerned I forgot he went to Tilernos. I shouldn't have been moving him on the maps, sorry about that. He will still be there.

That is fine. I am mostly using him for spells and his Aura. He stopped being a viable combat option awhile ago. Too few hp.

Azreal teleports to the outside window of the Ogres window.
He crouches low to get TOTAL COVER through the window.
He only hopes to use his Aura against the Ogre.
(DC 16)

Azreal is still at Tilneros residence providing the run down, picking up flour and trying to resupply some items.

RD 3 Map

Better yet, draw it out.

RD 3 crone Ogre

The ogre continues to attack with a furious rage with her greatsword 2 handed at Daniel,

att 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) + 15 = 23

att 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34;damage: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 1, 5) + 15 = 27

Flesh is torn from the paladin's body while a hideous giggle shakes the room.

Don't think she/it will be very agreeable to leaving her cushy defensive spot.

Edit: Anadrea 5' steps away to B,5 to let Daniel and Gerard have some room.

Andrea make a perception check.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

50hp damage -13 temp hp= 37 Damage
The paladin, growls away his injuries and steps up to the Hulking Orgress. He knew he was suffering but he NEEDED an advantage!
Swift action for GTR TRIP!

He steps in hard attacks the legs!
Righteous Vigor, Inspire Courage, Smite, PA, Gtr Trip: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 + 4 = 38

61 damage, he is on his ass (hopefully) and got some more temp hp

The giantess falls to the ground (barely) and takes 61 damage.

Good job Daniel! Stab the heck out of her Gerard!

Revised map with Daniel in room

The giantess falls to the ground (barely) and takes 61 damage.

I love this game!

Daniel, that was the wrong way... I can't really help.

RD 3: Initiative:

Crone - hits Daniel for 50HP
Orsin
Andrea
Euphemia
Daniel - trips crone, 61 HP
Gerard

What are the others doing, if anything, or do we move to the next round.

Daniel, that was the wrong way... I can't really help.

Daniel sidesteps a flailing limb, Did you not say this was all mine?

Honestly, that Rogue was a confusing man...

Since Gerard wants to be able to do something,back up and let him into the room.

Andrea steps up and converts Blindness into Cure Serious wounds on Daniel CSW: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) + 10 = 22

Pretty much all I can do.

"Is it almost over, then? I hope so, as Sir Daniel is a mess sufficient for the tales."
Healing hex on Daniel:2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 5) + 10 = 17
