Guo Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Guo takes the potion vial like a delicate egg, he nods in understanding and steps back out of view. The giralon approaches without much care for stealth as Aurin waits to attack. Suddenly the two-headed giralon sticks his head around the corner at ground level, coming face to face with the monk.

Round 1
1st: Breeze
2nd: ettin girallon
3rd: Aurin, Guo

>>>Breeze up!

Breeze holds his ground not wanting to provoke the strange creature preferring to let Aurin get its attention first and providing aid to him thereafter.

"I think its best my friend of I take a more passive role this fight. I will heal you if necessary."

The ettin girallon roars long land loud, raising the hairs on your backs. It snaps its jaws and slams its fists into the monk.

Round 2

2nd: ettin girallon 0/-
3rd: Aurin 84/100 SHAKEN, Guo SHAKEN

>>>All up! Notice how the rounds will rotate through. All PCs can post their next round before I post again.

Breeze while thrown off a bit by the beasts roar reaches into his arcane arsenal and directs a small ball of fire to just beyond the creature that explodes as it hits the wall behind engulfing the creature in flames.

fireball: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 3, 1, 6, 1, 2) = 23 dc 18 reflex

crap damage fireball sucks

Do the Large creatures get a -1 to AC due to their size?"

Though shaken from the two headed Girallon's horrifying visage, Aurin steps into range and unleashes a flurry of kicks and strikes!

The beast continues to test your nerve as a fireball and a sucker punch seems to only annoy it. It strikes back but appears to be thrashing out it's flaming fur thus missing completely.

Round 2
1st: Breeze 72/72 SHAKEN
2nd: ettin girallon 4+26/-
3rd: Aurin 95/100 SHAKEN, Guo SHAKEN

>>>All up!

Breeze uses his knowledge of the arcane to summon a ghostly hand.

damage from summoning hand: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Aurin begins to calm his soul again drawing from his earliest teachings to still his shaking soul against the monstrous presence of the beast. He sets himself again, and unleashes another flurry of blows!

"XUNGIS!!!"Aurin directs his fear and fury in a maddening yell for the foolish child.

Huh? How many turns has it been?...You were either cursed or being tested for the Madmen academy. Or the other possibility, you were Mazed… with a bunch of monkeys… No, that couldn’t be it, unless none of the stories about the Lady were true but instead she had some sense of demented fiend humor. Transcending is turning out to be rather dull and seemingly endless. That’s probably how Powers became Powers – they just got themselves stuck in some dimensional hole like this and waited until eternity was over, then tah-dah everyone’s dead and you are God. What is that noise? At least you figured it out, the riddle and trap you’ve come to know - 'You can only leave on more than four legs'. What is that noise?!

”XXXUNNGGIIIISSSSssssss!!!

The sound is not the usual fight among the garilons over which of their dungs tasted better, this sounded like….”Escape!”

The beast strikes the defending monk again but can't get through the defences, apparently more bawls than bite. Breeze's spell goes unnoticed in the rage.

Round 4
1st: Breeze 72/72 SHAKEN
2nd: ettin girallon 58/?
3rd: Aurin 95/100 SHAKEN, Guo SHAKEN

>>>All up!

The fear this creature creates is very real to Aurin. It is time to end this. He fixes his attention on the Girallon and unleashes a furious combination of kicks and strikes!!!

"WAAAAASAAAAAAAH!

Aurin yells with a spirit kiai to burn the fear away, and ends up slipping around like a novice.

What is Intimidate's DC?

Aurin 26, Breeze 25

-Posted with Wayfinder

Breeze says a quick prayer and reaches out with his disembodied hand and touches Aurin letting the healing energy flow.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

The first of Aurin's combination hits target, the rest giving way to bad luck. Breeze repairs the monk's lacerations with a simple spell. Meanwhile the giralon tries to frighten off the intruders but it's threats seems to have worn thin. It continues to fight off the monk.

”NO MORE!!!”

Aurin looks at the Two Headed Girallon and activates his Buskin of Brute Force! The items magic imbues the Monk with great strength as he unleashes another devastating combination of kicks and strikes at the beast!

”YAAAAAAAAAATATATATATATATATA!!!”

Breeze decides to wait and not expend anymore magic to see if his new found Allie needs more healing.

"First law of fighting as I know of my good friend is to hit your opponent."

don't worry the dice roller hates everyone mostly

With a tremendous thud and monkey whimpers, the girallon falls dead from multiple concussions to the heads. It lets out it's final breath which sounds oddly like, "ba-na-na..." The path ahead is silent.

>All up

"If only I were more chaotic, I would smack the boy for his stupidity."

"We need to find this boy fast I am almost out of tricks to help you my friend."

anything on locate creature

[ooc]Spell indicates the target to be 140' away[ooc]

"I'm going! Cover me if you are able!" Aurin moves quickly now to close on the area indicated by Breeze's spell. He ducks, hides and moves as quickly and silently as able.

Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

you can only stealth at half speed

-Posted with Wayfinder

Half speed it is then.

Breeze beckons Guo to follow and quickly starts moving down the path.

"Hold on to that potion Guo you might still have need for it.
Stay in sight of Aurin I am going scouting ahead."

Then he grasps his amulet and uses it as a component to recall and cast a spell that will transform him back into elemental form and starts moving down the path.

change back to small elemental and fly down the path

Breeze floats ahead coming to an area that the just departed ettin giralon used as it's post and lair. Some items of planar make lay scattered in the dirt.

>up

-Posted with Wayfinder

btw, changing the map scale to 10' for now

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aurin makes note of the room, and presses onward!

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Breeze utters a quick spell and vanishes from sight again and continues on.

spell was vanish

looks like Aurin is three rooms back

Breeze vanishes and press on into the next chamber, finding it to be a larger cavern with high ceiling. The ground is depressed towards the center, baring a multitude of footprints all over the area, seemingly a gathering point of sorts. There is a blind corner to the left.

>up

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'm assuming Breeze is not using stealth

-Posted with Wayfinder

he was invisible and flying but thats about it

Breeze quietly moves into the next room to get a look around the corner.

stealth: 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (14) + 41 = 55 20 of that is invisibility

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

Aurin moves towards the next area.

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

[dice=stealth]1d20+41 20 of that is invisibility

+10 Skill, +20 Invis, what is the rest?

You turn the corner to see an the framework of a massive door on the far western side of the room. Though no door actually hangs there;; instead, blocking the path is a sleeping ettin girallon, hunched over in a seated position, apparently not having heard the commotion moments ago.

>PCs up, move icons! I'll move Guo's icon

Aurin moves silently towards the two headed Girallon.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

You dont need to role Stealth every round, just once per encounter unless GM needs more. But why was Aurin's last Stealth 20 and now 15? We are in open rounds so act freely.

>PCs up, open rounds

Mistake.

my stealth is + 16 and +21 when in elemental air form

Breeze quietly flys ahead to get a look down the hall trying not to wake the Ettin.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Aurin moves to within 5 feet of the Two Headed Girallon, listening for any signs of Xungis, and seeing if there is a way around this creature.

Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

You dont need to role Stealth every round, just once per encounter unless GM needs more.

Aurin's Stealth was 21, everytime you choose reroll means you are reattempting and overridding with new roll, which is now 17...was it your intention to try beat the 21 roll?

You see the hall extending beyond into a large open space for a several hundred feet.

Okay. I get it. I'll keep the 21. I edited my last.

can i fly over the ettin pretty easy?

Yes you have room to fly over. It will provoke another Perceptioin check.

Breeze takes a deep breath and flys past the sleeping figure hoping not to disturb it.

stealth: 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (19) + 41 = 60 -5 for for moving more than half my speed makes it 55 still

The beast remains asleep as Breeze take the only way across the blocked path.

>up, open rounds

Aurin stays next to the beast prepared to attack it if it should wake. He motions for Guo to hold his position while they await word from Breeze.
