Mazra’s Giantslayer Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mazra

While the others check the room, Leira checks the new doors.
Perception (+1 vs traps): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Disable Device (if needed to unlock or untrap): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (17) + 27 = 44

Haskyll looks at the corpses.

Torag ensure their souls make it into Pharasma's grace, and give us the strength to ensure that they will be avenged.

Haskylls tone turns down and angry as he looks at the bodies that are just thrown there.

He then looks up at the others after giving a quick prayer of the fallen to each.

Let us go

Leira will not find a trap on the door. It is not locked.

Kaos will see a number of items that radiate magic, plus other items that are of value. But it would take at least five minutes to rummage through the items.

Do you take the time to rummage through the stuff?

The pile of human corpses are the body of eight soldiers.

Three of the soldiers are wearing chain shirts, three scale mail, and one splint mail. The splint mail radiates magic.

You make a good point we can loot later.

Are we on a tight schedule. Maybe its something useable!"

We run the risk of someone sounding the alarm if we or throughs bodies are discovered.

One says stay and look at what is here. Another says move on, and come back later. Any other thoughts?

Anything quickly grab-able, we should grab and stuff in a bag. After that, we should note and come back for.

magic items are easily id'd so grab them and keep moving

It would take time to remove the magic suit of Splint Mail from the human corpse. Do you take the time?

Besides the Splint Mail, the only other items immediately recognizable as radiating magic is a large dagger with a stout, wide blade, and a long wooden handle with jet inlay. There is also a huge broken Darkwood Shield that radiates magic.

There are many boxes, jars, and other containers that could have items that radiate magic, but the party would not see this without opening the containers.

Suggesting we grab the dagger, handle with jet inlay, and shield (Can be repaired.) leave the splint for right now.

" Let's take the easy grabs then move on. We can come back later " Leira takes the dagger herself as it can be of use for her skills.

Leira opens the next set of double-doors. She sees a massive chamber. The curved outer wall of this spacious chamber is set with tall, arched windows blacked out with mud and dung. The patchwork of hides stretched across the floor is stitched together with gut and sinew to form a makeshift rug, but is heavily trampled and caked with mud. A steep stone staircase climbs through a darkened arch in the eastern wall next to a wide-mouthed stone well. Crude doors fashioned from raw planks bound with hammered iron bands hang in archways to the north and south.

A hulking, overly large ettin is lingering in the middle of the room. It reacts to the door opening.

Kaos' Iniative:: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Leira's Iniative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Anga's Iniative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Droja's Iniative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Ettin's Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Round One

Leira, Ulfgard, and Kaos will react before the Ettin. But please everyone post your Round One actions. Thanks.

Ulfgard quickly moves forward, but stays out of reach, so that the ettin has to charge him.
"Come you face of a mountain goat, let me show you why your father left your mother the moment he saw your ugly face!"

Leira steps in and aims deadly. Sneak attack only works at 30' distance :(

The girl shots strong and precise at the ettin!
Giant bane crossbow+DA+PB (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 30
Piercing/Magical damage+DA+PB+AS+bane+sneak attack: 1d6 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 + (2, 5, 2, 4, 1) = 30

Crit? (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 26
Piercing/Magical damage+DA+AS (precision damage like sneak attack or PB, and extra die like bane, is not multiplied on crit): 1d6 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 12

Kaos will charge in and attack.
gorum's thorn: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 = 352d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 3) + 16 = 24
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 = 192d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 4) + 16 = 22
Possible trip attempt

Waiting until the Ettin moves before I go. :(

One edit to the map. This Ettin is one size category larger than normal. It is huge.

Round One Start

Leira steps in and buries an arrow into the over-sized Ettin's chest.

Ulfgard steps in as well.

Kaos charges past his comrades and delivers a critical strike against the two headed monstrosity. It is at that time that Kaos notices that the Ettin is missing an eye on one of its head. Also, he notices a massive chain attached to an ankle leading over to the stairs. It looks to have plenty of lead on the chain. Kaos does not trip huge creature.

Kaos' Trip attempt Ettin's CMD24: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Startled by all this, and now fighting for its life, the Ettin backs up a step and takes a series of swings at the Human with a pair of flails. The head with two eyes lands two solid blows against Kaos. But the one-eyed head misses all of its attacks.

Ettin Head 1 with Flail 1st attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 252d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1) + 8 = 13
Ettin Head 1 with Flail 2nd attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 272d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13
Ettin Head 2 with Flail 1st attack one eye: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 2 = 162d8 + 8 ⇒ (8, 6) + 8 = 22
Ettin Head 2 with Flail 2nd attack one eye: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 = 92d8 + 8 ⇒ (7, 1) + 8 = 16

Kaos takes 26 points of damage.

Leira 23 (AC19 56/56)
Ulfgard 17 (AC20/G24 103/103)
Kaos 14 (AC21 66/92)
Ettin Over-Sized 14 (AC? -74/?)
Droja 14 (AC16/SoF19/H20 55/55)
Anga 10 (AC17/MA21/G25 53/53)
Haskyll 10(AC22/G26 57/57)
Ragnir 1 (AC22/G26 69/69)

Everyone else's turn in the round.

Droja moves into the room and tries to project a sense of Doom against the two-headed monstrosity.

Ettin's Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

But the Ettin is unaffected by Droja's attempt.

Ragnir moves into the room, but just far enough from the creature to prevent it from reacting to his movement.

Anga casts a magic missile

magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 2) + 4 = 14

Haskyll comes into the room while casting Prayer on the party.

Basically +1 to everything, -1 to bad guy.

HEY UGLY, YOUR MOMMA HAVE ANY KIDS THAT LIVED!!
Haskyll yells, at the ettin as he comes into the room.

Trying to get within 30' of the ettin for the nail mail affect to effect.

Ulfgard charges in to aid Koas. Agrimmosh gripped firmly in booth hands he gives the ettin a wicked smash.
Charge: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 1 = 322d6 + 22 ⇒ (1, 4) + 22 = 27
He then flickers his shield into place for some added extra protection.

Round One

After Leira hits the Ettin with an arrow, Kaos charges in and delivers a critical strike. The Ettin strikes Kaos.

Ulfgard charges in too. He lands a blow.

Anga moves in and pops the big creature with a Magic Missile.

The creature sways one way. The one-eyed head slumps over. The eyes on the other head rolls back, and the big creature falls over. It dies upon impact with the stone floor.

That was quick.

Victory!

Haskyll would have been able to hold back his Prayer.

The party will see another set of double-doors, and stairs up.

Where do you go?

Kaos cast detect Magic then search is the Etten.
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Kaos will not see anything that radiates magic. He does see a wooden spindle and crank wheel laying in pieces next to the well. The well is 50 feet deep and reeks of humanoid waste. Likely the Ettin used the well as a latrine. Droja will be particularly disgusted by this.

That is about it. There are double doors to the left and stairs up.

Perception (+1 vs traps): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
Leira checks the doors but points to the stairs "We were told the prisoners are stairs up. Let's open this door and then head straight up"

Leira does not find a trap on the door.

Does she open the door?

Moving on!

The stealthy Leira quietly opens the door and peeks inside the room. She immediately hears the sound of extremely loud snoring. The room is dark, but not in total darkness. She sees squalid sleeping pallets and thick, ratty furs that are spread across the mud-caked floor of this circular room. Great arched window frames run about the perimeter of the walls, though they have been boarded shut and sealed with concrete. The scent of rancid milk and vomit hangs in the air.

Four of the pallets contain giants. The four are asleep. Leira did not wake them.

What does the party do?

The stealthiest members of the party slipping in and pacify the room. Yes or no?

I still have problems to join paizo from time to time. Thanks Mazra for moving on

Leira slowly closes back the door for the group to decide. She whispers through her message connection "I find it cruel for such an slaughter even for giants. Why we don't just jam this door so they do not come out?"

That works it's not like we can worry about enemies being behind us when there's an entire army of them just outside. Let's move up.

Kaos is good either way. There evil but there's no way to get them all. That is why I asked ooc

Torag states that we should scatter them and prevent them from hurting us and ours. But I look at it this way. We should board them in, and move on.

Man has the site ever been down a lot recently.

How does the party bar the door?[

Leira quietly heads up the stairs. She sees an immense L-shaped table, carved of black walnut and polished until it gleams, serves as the centerpiece of this large circular chamber, surrounded by several chairs. Numerous arched windows look out over the surrounding countryside.
Between the windows, a variety of maps, drawings, and diagrams have been tacked to the walls. A line of severed heads skewered upon long iron pikes runs around the perimeter of the room. Interspersed among the pikes are six large iron perches. Leira is moving up the west flight of stairs.
On the opposite side of the chamber to the east, a second set of stairs curves upward along the wall.

On each of the iron perches sits what looks like a two-headed vulture with greasy, night-black wings and sharp looking talons. To the right, a massive giant with a singular eye on his forehead is feeding one of the two-headed vultures.

How much further does Leira lead the party? Also, please roll a Stealth check.

A new map is up.

Before moving on, Leira uses her deftly knowledge of mechanisms to jam the door.
Disable device (jam): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41

Leira leads the group until the tip of the stairs. Once she pictures the situation she turns to whisper to the group "It seems the take carer of the vultures is that giant. Perhaps we can talk him out of this, but if you wish so, I will join you in the attack" and she loads and readies her giant bane heavy crossbow.
Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

Stealth, what is that. . . I just clank along. :) Good thing I am usually near the back of the group. :)

hear goes stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (14) - 3 = 11

Haskyll stumbles along behind everyone.

Thinking wooden Hammer, hitting iron spike to bar the doors. at least it will give us a heads up they are coming when they break down the doors.

Sounds good!!! Let´s spike the door!

Sorry for the add on, but we put a leather pad between the iron of the spike and the wood of the hammer, and we should be making minimal noise. But not thinking more than a strike per spike.

Giant's Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

The one-eyed giant notices your approach.

Kaos' Iniative:: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Leira's Iniative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Anga's Iniative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ulfgard's Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Haskyll's Iniative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
Ragnir's Iniative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3
Droja's Iniative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
One-eyed Giant's Initiative: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

Round One

Everyone can react before the one-eyed giant. The birds will react with the one-eyed giant.

This is the first time Droja has gone first in battle. Well, it is not like she is going to go running up head first into battle.

"Here my friend, this may help." Droja gives Haskyll a little Aid.

Droja's Aid: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Haskyll gets an extra +1 to hit, plus he has an extra 15 temporary hit points.

Everybody is up. Zooming in about 3 times helps with the map.

Observing the giant has noticed them, Leira moves to where she can have the giant at the range of her deadly aim and taking cover behind the sofa, she shots the heavy crossbow at him.
Giant bane crossbow+DA+PB (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 22
Piercing/Magical damage+DA+PB+AS+bane+sneak attack: 1d6 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 + (4, 3, 5, 3, 4) = 36

She quickly ducks behind the sofa trying to hide herself again and hopping he has not noticed her but only the dwarves.
Snipper stealth: 1d20 + 16 - 20 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 20 = 11
Snipping rules

Kaos cast shield: 1d100 ⇒ 98 then moves 30 towards the Giant.

Whirling Agrimmosh Ulfgard charges the one eyeg giant.
Attack: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 202d6 + 22 ⇒ (2, 2) + 22 = 26

Torag, your servants need your assistance at this time, for us to treat them as they would treat us.

Haskyll touches everyone as he moves into the room, transferring a bit of Torags energy into each.

AOO if needed: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 19 Add 2 if it is the giant
BAB, STR, Aid, BOF

Casting
Blessing of Fervour:
School transmutation;

Components V, S, DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless);
Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
With this blessing, you call your allies to move forth and empower them to conquer and become victorious. Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
• Increase its speed by 30 feet.
• Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
• Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
• Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
• Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can’t use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.
Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.

Whirling Agrimmosh Ulfgard charges the one eyeg giant.

[Dice=Attack]d20+19; 2d6+22

I don't see how you can charge the giant from where you are.

Was using my cellphone and maps then won´t work, sorry. Then Use the charge roll next time

Anga uses her wand of acid arrow on the closest foe.

acid arrow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 1 = 6

The party thoroughly wedges the door where four Hill Giants are sleeping. They then head up the stairs, and engages a one-eyed giant with many feathery friends.

Round One

Droja cast Aid on Haskyll.

Ulfgard moves into the room.

Leira moves into the room and takes a sniping attack against the one-eyed giant. She sticks and arrow deep into the flat-footed monstrosity.

Kaos moves into the room and puts up a Shield.

Haskyll moves into the room while asking for and receiving a Blessing of Fervour for each of the members of the party.

Anga moves to the top of the stairs drawing out a wand. She uses it to fire an Acid Arrow at the one-eyed giant. it strikes the giant.

The one-eyed giant is clearly the most threatening creature in the room.

Ragnir moves up next to Haskyll casting an extended Shield of Faith.

The SoF will last twelve minutes. (120 Rounds}

The One-Eyed Giant whistles loudly, the Two-Headed Vultures begin to respond to the sound. The Giant then moves to take a swing against the one that caused it the most damage with a massive Greataxe.

Damage from Automatic Hit with Power Attack: 4d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 1) + 9 + 6 = 25
Confirm Critical Hit: 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 13 - 3 = 188d6 + 18 + 12 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 5, 5, 1, 2, 1) + 18 + 12 = 55

It uses its very special, once per day, ability called Flash of Insight. It essentially can Take 20 on anything it wants. Hits are cool in that it provides a chance for a Critical Hit. It missed its Critical Hit against Leira. Good thing as it would have killed the Rogue Arcanist. Instead Leira takes 25 points of damage. In addition, its Perception check was high enough to notice Leira without a roll.

The Two-Headed Vultures fly off their perches and attacks the party as though the party was fresh food. They engage. The sixth one tries to bite Kaos as well, but misses.

THV 6 Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Round Two

Map Updated!

As the enemies mount Kaos let’s the battle rage take him as he tears into the birds.
gorum's thorn: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 302d6 + 16 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 16 + 3 = 23

Uff that was close!

Leira barely survives when the greataxe almost cuts her left arm in two. Without waiting to see more of the same, the girl dimensional slides back into the ceiling of the room where she hangs thanks to her spider climb.

From there Leira conjures two scorching rays on the cyclop.
Scorching ray+BoF (touch): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27
Fire damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 4) = 11

Scorching ray+BoF (touch): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18
Fire damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 6) = 14
