Round 3, Init 13

Quill moved to FK129 (next to Molly) last turn.

Quill fires at the orc in FS130, twice, with elfish rage.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 25 to hit; (+DF+bless,+elf,-rapid-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17 cold iron damage.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 26 to hit; (+DF,+bless,+elf,-rapid-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14 cold iron damage.

Pot crit.
1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 15 to hit; (+DF,+bless,+elf,-rapid-rain)
2d8 + 20 ⇒ (1, 8) + 20 = 29 cold iron damage.

Bless, 6 minutes. +1 to attack & morale.

Sander rushes forward as quickly as his legs can carry him, letting his momentum put some power behind his arm as he throws a cold bomb toward the nearest orc.

Move to FK-134; target orc at FP-137
bomb (ranged touch), point blank range, -2 for range: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 10
Damage (cold damage), plus DC 14 Fort or be staggered next round: 3d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 3) + 3 + 1 = 17
Splash damage: 7 (DC 14 for half)
Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 1

I don't know. :(

Dieter moves to the wounded orc (FO-136) and raises his sword. "Threading the Needle." He makes a simple and fast thrust at the shoulder.

Power Attack, Overhand Chop: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 142d4 + 18 ⇒ (1, 4) + 18 = 23 Dang it.

Move to FM-136 attack Orc in FT-132 with range attack

Kipa cursing under his breath starts to move so that he can help lay down some cover for the magic user and the others as he starts to line himself up to support the big guys.
"Damn it Dieter, remind me to kick you really hard in the shines after this"

attack on orc in FT-132: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 4 = 25
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

When your damage roll is higher than your attack roll, you might be a 2H fighter.

When your damage roll is higher than your AC, you might be a 2H fighter.

When your to hit modifier is higher than your intelligence score, you might be a 2H fighter.

An explosion rocked the orc nearest to Sander as the alchemist launched one of his bombs. It fell short, but still managed to splash fragments and fire all over the approaching orc. An eponymous battlecry sent Storn hurtling chest first into the giant's club, but the distraction was enough to land a heavy blow of his own, hacking into the giant's leg like he was trying to fell a tree.

Dieter made good use of the distraction to move away from the giant, his broken collarbone and ribs causing him great pain as he moved to finish off the wounded orc. He couldn't get a good swing with his injuries, though, and failed to connect. The orcs grinned as it raised its falchion in return, then frowned. A small arrow sprouted from its armpit. It turned to see Kipa with bow just starting to lower, and then crashed to the sodden grass.

Quill took aim and fired, one arrow nocked to the string and launched nearly as soon as the first had finished its work. Both of the orcs injured by Molly's lightning bolt fell, each pierced through the throat. The last orc tried to circle around Storn, to pin the big man between himself and the giant, but its strike bounced off of a slightly glowing blue shield.

So that is 1 for Kipa right?

Molly runs further onto the field of battle, comes skidding to a halt and yells something in a rumbling language.

Next, the Witch launches an incantation she only recently tried for the first time, and another blast of lightning flies forth -- this time to impact squarely with the giant's body!

Witch to FT -126. Lightning bolt on the Giant for 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 5, 4) = 15 electric. Reflex DC 16 for half.

The giant whirled with strange grace to avoid the worst of Molly's lightning bolt, then turned the whirl into half-step and attack of his own. The tree-trunk club whooshed over Storn's head as the warpriest lunged out of its way, but the backswing caught Storn in the ribs. His breath blew out of his with an audible oof, but Storn kept his feet.

Running into the mix of it Kipa cals out to every one "Dieter get heal up then get back in here." With that he plunges one of his rapiers into the last Orc. "Lets try to light these guys up a bit till then"

Move to FP-136. Attack Orc in FQ-135
attack+flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 = 22
damage+Sneak Attack: 1d4 + 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + (5, 1, 1) + 4 = 13
If hit, Orc will be -2 AC vs everyone else, -4 vs me and will have Bleed 3 every round

Don't forget Bless you chumpy chumps! The Elf that Hugs the World loves you and wants you to win!

Round 3, Init 13

Two for Quill! Woohoo! All hail the mighty orcslayer!

Quill fires at the orc in FQ135 once with elfish rage...trying to score a nice kill steal.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 19 to hit; (+DF+bless,+elf,-rapid-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16 cold iron damage.

...and once at the giant.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 14 to hit; (+DF,+bless,-rapid-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 12 cold iron damage.

Bless, 6 minutes. +1 to attack & morale.

Damn I keep forgetting that it is a burst not an aura. Also, damn you elf boy

"Kipa! When we get back to town, I owe you a night with the second-prettiest doxy in town!" Dieter advances a short distance (5-foot-step to FP-134) and flanks the orc with Storn. "Arc of the Moon." He makes a mid-level strike from a high guard, aiming for the orc's neck.

Power Attack, Overhand Chop: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 312d4 + 18 ⇒ (4, 1) + 18 = 23

There we go!

HP 7/52

Storn is rocked by the giant and simply roars in defiance.

"YOU HIT LIKE AN ELF!"

However, he's knocked off-balance enough so that his counter-swing is pretty sloppy.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14 Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 + 6 = 21

Sander rushes closer to the scrum, throwing another bomb, this time at the giant. Move 20 ft. south, exclude anyone who may get to within 5 ft. of the giant...

bomb (ranged touch), point blank range: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 22
Damage (cold damage), plus DC 14 Fort or be staggered next round: 3d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 2) + 3 + 1 = 14
Splash damage: 7 (DC 14 for half)
Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 1

"Damn it Dieter, I told you to heal up first! Storn, you too if needed. Don't want the elf to go off again on people dying."
Damn it Dieter

Sander's bomb flew in to explode on the giant, the frost cracking skin and tearing muscles. Storn threw a heavy blow, but was off balance and the giant avoided it. Kipa ran for the orc, hoping to get opposite Storn, but Dieter lunged in ahead of him. The fighter's overhand blow caught the orc in the shoulder, cutting deep into its torso. Kipa was forced to attack straight into the orc, but still took advantage of all the larger bodies to get his attack in. His rapier took the orc in the belly, then ripped upwards into the heart. The orc fell dead to the grass, leaving only the roaring giant to face.

Having drawn blood and satisfied the honor of his sword, Dieter decides to switch to ranged combat. He withdraws a short distance (FL-134), drawing his bow as he moves. He nocks, draws, and fires.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Molly curses as the giant displays its acrobatic training, then shrugs.
"When in doubt and out of heavy-hitting spells, go back to basics," she says as she brings up her trusty crossbow, aims, and fires.

Crossbow attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 for 1d8 ⇒ 4 damage.

Kipa is holding till after STorn. I need to see where he will end up before I can figure out the best place to move Kipa to.

I think only Molly is up.

Im trying to figure out where Quill's arrows went. One of them should have hit something.

Quill stares through the rain, looking for targets.

I think only Molly is up.

Yup. You guys have to wait for the giant to go before you're up. I just hope we won't find ourselves saying "We're gonna need another Dieter!" this time around. ^^;

I call his stuff and his cut... guild Custom? JK

Due to my track record in this game, I have a half-completed character sheet ready just in case.

Due to my track record in this game, I have a half-completed character sheet ready just in case.

*pat pat* How's about I take the Reincarnation spell, just as soon as it becomes available to me?

I like the whole Kenny vibe we've got going on...

I was going to ask if you want help making a full on armored tank type fighter so you can take a hit and keep on going.

@Quill - Sorry. In my mind I had you going after Kipa, and applied your attack to the giant. If you're keeping score, though, that orc would have been your kill, and Kipa would be hanging his halfling drawers in the wind.

Molly's arrow plinks into the giant, doing minimal damage, but making it roar again, nonetheless. It smashed its club down on Storn again and again, but in its rage it missed completely.

I will need to know where Dieter and Storn end up to know where Kipa will end up. If they both end up in melee w/ the giant, I can go any where to get flanking. If only one is in melee I will need to move to be in normal flanking with that one PC I will wait till after they declare their actions for this reason.

Having just one hell of a time, Storn sidesteps the giant's gigantic swings, alternately swearing in Hallit and shouting incomprehensibly.

"BWAHAHAHAAH! KNEEEL BEFORE STOOORN!"

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14 Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 + 6 = 20

However his sword just bounces off of the giant's leg. His eyebrow twitches just a little.

I withdrew to focus on ranged combat. Thanks for the offer, Kipa. :)

"Storn, this is no time to fool around! You don't want to end up like Mawj!" Sander shouts as he fumbles in his pouches for his sling and a stone.

Ok just makes me change my approch a bit. I need the flank to activate my Sneak attack & all the bonuses from that that we will need.
Sorry for the needling that is about to be mentioned, going for the past experience fighting along side each other thing.

Kipa, seeing Storn heading in to the path of the damn giant and Dieter stepping back to get his bearings & a few extra range attacks in before diving back into the fray, starts to run around to get a good angle on the target to help out in the best way he can. A quick though passes through his brain He seems to be learning. Good

Don't forget Bless you chumpy chumps! The Elf that Hugs the World loves you and wants you to win!

Round 4, Init 13

Quill shoots at the giant.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 11 to hit; (+DF+bless,-rapid-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17 cold iron damage.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 25 to hit; (+DF,+bless,-rapid-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11 cold iron damage.

Pot Crit:
1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 23 to hit; (+DF,+bless,-rapid-rain)
2d8 + 20 ⇒ (3, 6) + 20 = 29 more cold iron damage.

Quill smiles as one of his arrows really hits.

Bless, 6 minutes. +1 to attack & morale.

Hey Sanders you can cast cure spells right?

I can make curative extracts, so ... sort of? Which reminds me, I handed out some CLW+ potions when we were on the boat.

Trying to figure out ways to get Dieter up and running closer to his normal HP so he can get back in here & swinging is all. Thanks for the CLW postions as well

@everyone - thank you for your patience. hotel had no internet connectivity, and I was too busy playing catchup this weekend to look at the forums. Game on!

Molly, Dieter - I've been gone for a week, so you've had plenty of time to post your actions.

@Kipa - if you want to close with the giant (reach) you have to roll an acro check. I did it for you this time.

Storn's blow, while ineffectual, at least drew the giant's attention away from the halfling as Kipa dodged in. The club whooshed over the rogue as he rolled to a stop behind the giant's left knee. With a stupid look on its face, the giant started swinging its head back and forth, looking for the small figure. It's look of confusion was replaced with one of rage and pain as one of Quill's arrows buried itself to the fletching in its left eye. Screaming in pain, the giant flailed, nearly knocking Storn to the ground with its club and it whirled and thrashed.

Sander lets his sling stone fly -- right over the giant's head as he overcompensates in his efforts not to hit any of his companions. He grabs another stone and beings loading it into the sling.

Mwk sling: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 11

Yelling at the top of his tiny lungs "STORN GET THIS BIG LUG BETWEEN US!"

Hey Storn, Can you take a 5 foot step to FS-133 so we can be flanking please? If I can get a SA off on the giant, I can drop his armor down by 2 so it will be easier to hit. Hell take a 5 foot then hold your attacks till after me if youd like.

Akk. >.< Sorry.

Molly reloads her crossbow and fires at the flailing Giant, hoping for another hit.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 for 1d8 ⇒ 8 damage.

Don't forget Bless you chumpy chumps! The Elf that Hugs the World loves you and wants you to win!

Round 5, Init 13

Quill fires twice at the giant.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 24 to hit; (+DF+bless,-rapid,-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13 cold iron damage.

1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 22 to hit; (+DF,+bless,-rapid,-rain)
1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14 cold iron damage.

Bless, 6 minutes. +1 to attack & morale.

Storn's eyes bulge out as he is sent sprawling by the huge club. Clambering to his feet, he lets out an incoherent battlecry at the half-blind giant. As he does so, his sword bursts into flame.

"BWWAARRGHGHRRGHGH!!"

Back on his feet, shifts to his left, swinging out Gorum's Thorn at the giant's knee in an attempt to bring it down, attacking a little more cautiously.

Power Attack+Flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30 Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 + (4) = 14
Threat!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21 Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18
Trip?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

5' step to FS-133 for flanking and attack. Swift action to use sacred weapon to add flaming 4 fire damage.

HAZAA TIME TO STAB A GIANT!

Lining up his strikes to do the most damage he can "THANKS STORN!
Kipa attacks the giant with all his Halfling power

Dieter nocks, draws, and fires another arrow. "Keep at it, lads!"

ranged attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The combined might of Storn, ingenuity of Kipa, and ranged attacks from Quill and Dieter bring the giant down. As it toppled, Kipa ran away to make sure he wasn't crushed under the brute. The heavy rain continued to pour down on the glade as everyone relaxed slightly.

"THAT ONE COUNTS FOR ME" Kipa calls out as her cleans his blades and returns them to their scabbards laughing. He is just happy the giant is down & will hurt no one else, not really caring who go the last shot in.

Looking around at the downed enemies "That was an interesting tussle." Looking over at the tree line "Hey Elf you can come out now. It's safe. No one is dead but the bad guys. Not even Dieter! How is everyone doing?"

Dieter spits out a mouthful of blood. "Not too hot, actually. I think that boulder cracked a few ribs. I need some healing. Badly."

"THAT ONE COUNTS FOR ME"

Quill tries to hide is incredulity at the statement from the newcomer as he points to the 4 arrows lodged deeply into the giant, including the massively deep one into the giant's eye.

"This one is *yours*, huh?" Quill looks to see if anyone else is buying that load of gnomeshit.

I buried this one into its eye like I bury my bone into your mom! Quill titters at a funny private thought.

"Maybe if we want to avoid patrols, we should, you know, be more careful like I was saying," Quill offers as he searches the orcs for extra arrows and gold and loot.

Made me laugh out loud, Quill.

"Quill's right. Hopefully we're far enough away that no one from the fort realized what just happened, but if they're expecting this group to return, they may get concerned when they don't."

He looks concernedly off in the direction of the fort.
