Whoa. Jane’s a lucky woman. Beldan tries not to feel inadequate.
Oso, the black warrior, starts beating his dagger against his sword to the beat a la Zulu.
Pip looks at Gittik while he chants his martial ode
Hmmm...I thought I was the only hobbit with a third leg like that he thinks
Elgan, hooting softly, casts Barkskin on himself after hooting the alert, and then Magic Fang as the Lizard and the sisters of doom enter the hut and make their greetings.
His beak drops open when Gittik strides forward and challenges the Lizard-Vamp, then raises a feathery eyebrow as he realizes that the battle-scarred hobniz is nekkid.
While the well-built elf considers that he has nothing to be ashamed of, he nevertheless raises one wing in salute while considering briefly that Jane is indeed a lucky woman. HE then covers his face with the wing as Gittik bellows his challenge.
'So much for stealth and subtlety. He WAS raised by goblins. Aw well, while goblins aren't subtle, they are usually effective.'
As the hidden bard begins his chanting, Elgan's muscles tense in anticipation, and he prepares to attack,...
Behind the wall hangings, Altai makes a number of exasperated grimaces. So much for surprising the damn vampire...
Riese moves to I3 to be near the king. Mage armor is up. Reading a scroll of Alter Self during first round and turning into lizardman.
I think everyone has called a position. I'll update the map in about 5 hours when I get home.
I'm guessing Gittik is at g13; feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
The vampire and his daughters are looking at Gittik.....the hidden, being Altai and Beldan and Elgan go unnoticed and so get a surprise partial action. The females smile lasciviously at the hobnizs' display.
THEN, roll initiative; they got a 16 so if you beat that it's your attacks.
*the lizard chieftan takes the magic enchantment offered by Altai on a fistful of arrows. Alas, for they are not silver...*
As regards Beowolf...I thought the "Hrrth Gahrr" name might give it away; hell if you're gonna steal, steal from the best.
There are such things as alu-fiends. Daughters all of succubi and mortal men.
These look like alu, but for the green scaly skin that would perhaps infer a more saurian siring...
Altai peers out of the opening in the wall hanging. Seeing a tightly bunched group of enemies, he lets loose with destructive magics.
After blasting the bloodsuckers, he runs up to Stig, invoking a new spell.
Recapping on enlargement, damage and power attacks (including the bonuses for Bull's strength):
Finally, Stig also has a Protection from evil from Oso going on, giving him +2 AC (this counters the -1 AC from size and -2 DEX penalty from the enlargement) and, as importantly, makes him immune to charm effects. Go get them, Stig!
The three are blasted; no reflex save due to surprise.
They all seem hurt, though the daughters are not as badly wounded as would normally be evidenced by such a hot blast.
Sakatha wails in pain; his daughters shriek in fury.
You guys can go ahead and go first...
Elgan hastily begins chanting in his currently hooting voice once his keen ears pick the familiar sound of Altai's Chanting, He is halfway through the summoning when the fireball goes off. So blinded are the liard-vamp and the vampettes from the flash-bang of the pyrotechnics, that they probably don't even notice the shifting of air currents behind them, or the enormous shaggy beast that steps out of the shadows behind the lizard-vamp,...
Dire wolf att: 1d20+11=22, DMg: 1d8+10=11, (BLeah) and trip attempt: 1d20+11=29
As the huge dire doggie lets loose with a roar more like a lion than a wolf, Elgan screeches his own avian obscenities at the vampire, and DIVES,...
To hit; 1d20+7=27, Dmg: 1d6+4=9
Down the avian-formed nature's avenger flies like an arrow from a bow flying straight through the smoke and over the startled females heads,...
'Hey,... they're kinds cute,...'
,... as he nears his prey, he shimmers, and lands on the lizard-vamp with allfour paws as he seeks to let the creature of darkness know how it feels, as he seeks HIS jugular with magically enhanced teeth flashing,...
Beldan steps out from behind the curtain, his newly ensorcelled crossbow held ready – and then is nearly blown back and blinded by Altai’s fireball. Nevertheless, he manages to keep his feet and looses a bolt at the nearest green chick, seeking to plant it clear between her shoulder blades.
Arrighty; Elgan....checking your fly speed, you can get to him;
the dire wolf appears at hi13-14; your range max is 40 feet on that spell, and you're at the hole of the ceiling when you start it...so you're wolf blinks into existence in round one and can move to attack the vampire, but he picks up an aoo from the two right ladies if he does so; the wolf would move to hi 23-24. Do you and the wolf want to close?
(edit) It's a modified charge; Elgan can attack the vampire. You'll end up in H23 I reckon.

Your magic bolt slips into where her right lung is if she has human internal anatomy. She wheezes hard; you got a good shot on her, but she's alive.

Allright; no aoo's on the dire greyhound bus...
She adeptly moves, parrying the thing's maw to the side with her shield, saying "moonsinger, YOU serve the wrong lord..."
Elgan goes to fang and claw against the dread Baal Sakatha; his teeth do sink and get some blood, but the wound doesn't seem to tell on the creature much if at all.
He hisses...."I love midwifing druids unto reincarnation."
Looks like round one to me; Altai and Elgan have allready gone in round one, Bel and the rest of the crew get a shot in.
The lizard king stands on one good leg and a tail; launches two arrows at the middle granddaughter piercing her flesh once and the other arrow she takes in the shield.
"I disown thee, spawns of debauch....as I have disowned my very son!"
Uncharacteristically emboldened by the appearance of Elgan and his now familiar giant wolf, Beldan drops his bow and, drawing his magical rapier as he goes, darts in to attack, the keen edge of his rapier seeking to slip through the wheezing woman’s scales.
The rapier darts into her; she is woefully wounded now.
"I'm going to kill you! Shadowsniping cur dog!!!" she shrieks as green blood bubbles out of mouth, wells up under leather jerkin.
<Thundering, enormous fat rolls jiggling enormously, Stig double moves to D,E/13,14.>
One of the daughters points her sword and jeers...
This is how I've got it so far:
This is how I've got it so far:
Sakatha's at g24; elgan's at g23; bel's at i23; altai's at e6.
I arbitrarily placed Gittik at g13; I think he'll like it but he could place himself elsewhere if he wanted to.
One of the daughters points her sword and jeers...
"It's a terrible lot ay wark runnin' aw thes way, lassie. Dae ye hink ye coods coome ower haur an' et yer doom an' mebbe sae me some trooble?"

"Oh, yesssss.....I'll get to you, in my own good....sweet....time..."
Oh, and if it makes you feel better...
1) I double checked my original positioning post to make sure I didn't jack it up, because I know I'm far from perfect and
2) I can't map these things on the interweb's my own damn self, so thanx!
It's a great game, Heathy.
And while thankies are being done, thanks for the rule help, Vat!
Cool. I'm a Gen-Xer, so we really need constant positive reinforcement, or we have goth days.
Oh,....and that's more self-depricating than snarky quip...
Ugh, I gottsta crash.
Oso moves up a little putting the dagger away, keeping Pip inside his protective circle.
Then he sweeps his arm across and points at the visible woman on the end. A shimmering black blade appears to fly from his fingertips until it reaches her and attacks.
gittik wins the grapple check; pins her;
her aoo does 14 h.p. in damage. The sword burns with a horrible cold; icy clots in gittik's wound.
Oso also hits, and his weapon scores her.
As for Pip,....You can affect them all, or just the vampire; if it's all of them then Elgan needs to wil save against blindness from the friendly glitterdust...
Riese's go; a.w.a. minor clarification from Pip...
Elgan growls in response to the Lizard-Vamp, (In Wolf-Sylvan speak obviously, since he is shifted,)
"I see you know well the door to the afterlife. Allow me to escort you through it. One, Last, Time!'
Hey, Aubrey; do they have pro wrasslin in UK?
Hey, Aubrey; do they have pro wrasslin in UK?
Ever heard of Shirley Crabtree? He was Big Daddy. Or Giant Haystack? or Mick McManus?
All pro wrestlers back in the 70's, televised on ITV Saturday afternoons usually.
Great googly moogly!!!
(lol) my third cousin does amateur pro rasslin; or he did...dude was like 6'4"....I'm not that tiny at all, but I felt like a hobbit next to him.
Oso turns to Pip, "we need to move up in case someone needs my help."
