The ceiling is 50 feet high.

Leira you recognise the vulture creatures as juvenile rukhs. They have bite and talon attacks and favour flyby attacks.

Leira initiative: 1d20 + 2d6d1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + (11, 3, 16, 2) + 2 = 49

Sid initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Zavier initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Dolgrym initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

cyclops initiative: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

rukh initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Leira initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Leira initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

So initiative order is:

Block 1: Leira, Sid and Zavier

Block 2: Rukhs

Block 3: Dolgrym

So Block 1 your actions.

"They are juvenile rukhs! Mind their flyby attacks" Leira says a word of power and five flaming wings are born at her back. The girl starts flapping them and flies over the first Rukh wielding her falchion "For Trunau!"

HP 70/70 DR 5/Bludgeoning (40/40) AC 32 TAC 16

Gallant flies over with hasted speed and attacks the Rukh.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Sid will try and confuse the giant and the boarded bird.

Will: 22

Will save cyclops: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Rukh will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

They are both confused.

Zavier, your action

"Focused on the nonIconfused ones clear them then we can take the rest."

Forgot to ask, Leira do you want to attack?

I casted and moved, so no actions remaining, thanks!

Zaiver moves all the way to the cyclops if he can and then wallops it.

Unarmed Strike giant, dedicated adversary : 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 1 + 2 = 38
Unarmed Strike giant dedicated adversary, two sizes bigger: 3d8 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4, 7) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 27

If he can't he'll attack one of the non confused birds. -2 from attack and damage.

The cyclops is confused. If you hit him he will exclusively focus on you.

Oh, okay, he'll hit a non confused bird then

Trying to keep the heat off of you so we can minimize downtime between battles.

Zavier's mighty fists strike into the nearest bird and it squawks in pain.

confusion roll: 1d100 ⇒ 80

Attack nearest ally. Yes!

The confused Rukh moves across and attacks the cyclops.

bite: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 = 19

The remaining Rukhs ready to attack anyone who comes near

Block 3, your actions

Dolgrym uses his wand of call lightning and fires a blast at an unattended rukh.

Lightning damage 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) = 6

DC 16 Reflex for half.

reflex save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

The rukh manages to evade the worst of the wand's effects.

Back to block 1

Leira displays great weapon mastery striking repeatedly at the rukh next to her with deadly precision.
+2 adamantine falchion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Unarmed Strike two sizes bigger: 3d8 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6, 3) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 22

Zavier goes into a flurry of strikes both fast and vicious.

Zavier has reach so if one bird goes down he'll swing at another if it is in range.

Between Leira and Zavier's blows the rukh falls.

Sid, your action.

Sid let's the strong folk deal with the issues. He needs to save resources for the next fight.

Gallant flies over with hasted speed and attacks the Rukh.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Gallant flies over and tears into another Rukh.

One of the Rukhs flies across to attack Zavier, the other two attack Gallant. The confused one continues to attack the cyclops.

Dolgrym your action

Dolgrym and Basher double move and engage the bird straight ahead of them, helping Gallant out next round.

Fly-enlarged (hover) DC 15: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 2 = 1
Leira flaps her wings but she is unable to hold her position in the air and plummets to the ground losing her height advantage.

Fortunately her height probably allows her to reach the rukh that fights Zavier, and so she delivers a vital strike on the flying beast.
+2 adamantine falchion-PA: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 3 = 15
Adamantine/Magical/Slashing damage+PA+VS+enlarged: 4d6 + 9 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 1) + 9 + 9 + 2 = 33

The rukh manages to avoid Leira's blow.

Zavier, back to you, I'm assuming Sid is still holding actions?

Yep sometimes you got to let people punch. Our team, the bird and Cyclops and just bide your time.

Unarmed Strike flurry: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 1 = 22

Unarmed Strike two sizes bigger: 3d8 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 23

Unarmed Strike two sizes bigger: 3d8 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8, 8, 2) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 28

Zavier continues the punching.

Zavier batters the rukh, it's still there but signifcantly hurt.

One rukh attacks Zavier, two attack Gallant.

damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 7) + 12 = 23

bite on Gallant: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37

Dolgrym, your action

Dolgrym takes two swings at the large bird, attacking Gallant.

Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Damage 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Basher helps attack as well.

Damage 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

Dolgrym and Basher manage to do quite a lot of damage to the rukh.

Meanwhile the cyclops and the confused rukh continue to attack each other.

Back to block 1

"Gallant needs help there Zavier, let's finish this one and join him!" Leira delivers another vital strike on the rukh in front.
+2 adamantine falchion-PA: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 14 - 3 = 31
Adamantine/Magical/Slashing damage+PA+VS+enlarged: 4d6 + 9 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 6) + 9 + 9 + 2 = 38

Adamantine/Magical/Slashing damage+PA+VS+enlarged: 4d6 + 9 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 4) + 9 + 9 + 2 = 36

Assuming the foe falls after her attack, Leira flaps her wings of fire and flies as close as she can to the front line "We are coming, hold them there!"

HP 70/70 DR 5/Bludgeoning (40/40) AC 32 TAC 16

Gallant finally unleash a full attack with hasted speed against Rukh.

-------------------------------------

Attack bite confirm: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

26 damage to Sid and Gallant each.

Leira and Gallant both drop the rukhs in front of them.

Zavier, your action.

seems like only the two confused ones are left right?

Zavier sits down heavily Bird had sharp claws. Heal please hah. I cheer for oneeye to win. No fun to fight if does not have arms and legs. Smash the bird, oneeye!

CLW: 8d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2, 8, 8, 8, 7, 3, 7) + 8 = 55 26 healing to to Gallant and 29 to Sid.

A bit of an over heal but what can you do when you tank as a wizard!

I would say folks can roll their wand charges and I will mark them off. We have several full wands. That way we can move fast enough to keep our buffs.

The moment every one is healed Sid casts invisibilly sphere, at the base of the stairs, then haste, then moves with everyone into the next room.

He has altered his plan with new spells. He is going to try and cast Possession on the leader.

This large circular chamber is divided into two distinct areas. Great arched windows encircle the perimeter of the room, offering a panoramic view of the mountains and valley below. To the northwest stands a table and half a dozen chairs sized for giants. A curved flight of stairs descends along the northeast wall. To the southeast, a huge box bed filled with a pile of fresh straw covered with wool blankets and the furry pelt of a massive dire bear lies against one wall. Three coffers of polished stone stand near the bed. To the south is a massive stone tub filled with water, along with several huge water barrels. A second flight of stairs climbs along the southwest wall. In the room are two stone giants, a stone giant who appears to be the leader and a cave bear.

Is there a save against possession?

Dc 24 will. Sid is currently being held by Gallant, tied to his back like a baby being held by a large gargoyle.

Sid will only cast the spell since everyone is healed, buffed and adjacent to the enemy.

CMW (Zavier): 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 6) + 9 = 23
CMW (Zavier): 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3) + 9 = 18
Leira closes to Zavier and touches him healing the warrior with positive energy.

Then, while Sid heals Gallant and prepares the surprise on the higher floor, Leira profits to renew her enlarge person and shield of faith spells.

"So what are we trying with this one here Sid?" the girl climbs up with the others while preparing her falchion for the fight.

"I'm going to take control of the leader. We will kill the followers here and I will use the body to disband the tribes and tell them to go to war with one another."

Will save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Is there any effect if he makes the save?

Nope. Was that surprise round?

You can all have a surprise round action.

Leira splits the tower casting a wall of fire over the bear.
Fire damage to the bear and those passing through: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 = 13
Fire damage to those at 10' (the other two Giants): 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

A sheet of fire appears, burning the giants behind and blocking sight with its flames.

Dolgrym casts Bull’s Strength on himself.
