Mazra’s Giantslayer Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mazra

Don´t know if Ulfgard manages to reach the cave troll with longstrider to charge, but if so...
Charge: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 292d6 + 21 ⇒ (4, 6) + 21 = 31

Round Two...mostly

@Ulfgard, from your starting position, it would have been more than sixty feet to reach the second Cave Giant. However, in Round One you shorted yourself a move action. I will allow a bit of a retcon to say you moved a little closer to setup the charge in Round One.

Ulfgard charges the second Cave Giant and delivers the nearly full effect of Agrimmosh upon the long-tusked humanoid.

Kaos will move up to the first Cave Giant and prepare for a Coup de Gras.

Leira spider climbs to the ceiling to accompany the stalactites. She bristles with magical energies and sends a ray to the second Cave Giant. This Cave Giant is a powerful warrior and had the mettle to resist some of the effects of Leira's dark magic.

Cave Giant 2 Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

The first Cave Giant tries to break Droja's hold, but is not able to. Kaos will be free to attempt his Coup de Gras.

Cave Giant 1's Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The second Cave Giant steps back, and in its weakened state attacks the Dwarf Ranger. The tall humanoid was in far too much pain plus weakened by Leira's spell to make an effective attack.

Cave Giant with primitive but lethal Greataxe, 1st attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 123d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) + 13 = 20
Cave Giant with primitive but lethal Greataxe, 1st attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 63d6 + 13 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) + 13 = 25

The third Cave Giant moves closer keeping an eye on the human. Seeing the Rogue Arcanist climb the ceiling the Cave Giant takes aim and again attempts a vital strike. The accurate, though lucky, Cave Giant strikes the Rogue Arcanist yet again.

Cave Giant 3 Rock Throwing + Vital Strike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 212d8 + 9 ⇒ (7, 8) + 9 = 24

A fourth Cave Giant appears coming from the party's right. It had a stag on its back. It drops the stag and hurls a rock at the Dwarf Cleric, nearly hitting Haskyll in a vital area.

Cave Giant 4 Rock Throwing + Vital Strike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 242d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 2) + 9 = 19
Cave Giant 4 Rock Throwing + Vital Strike, confirm crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 52d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 8) + 9 = 22

Anga sees the new threat coming close, she takes a step and hits the fourth Cave Giant with a cluster of Scorching Rays

@Anga - Scorching Rays have a small range, 45 feet for Anga. Even if Anga had taken a move action, she still would not have reached the second Cave Giant. However, she easily has the range to hit the new threat.

Haskyll is in a position to do something truly heroic.

Droja, seeing yet another Cave Giant, begins to weave a spell. She thinks it is time to bring in a little help.

Haskyll and Round Three

Santa's current AC is 25, 29 vs giants

"Ouch!" Leire is totally surprised by the new incoming rock. The girl goes personal with the giant thrower, advancing herself, she delivers her daily impromptu sneak attack on the giant "Take that son of a hyena!!!"
Giant bane crossbow+DA+PB (denied Dex bonuses and dodge consequently): 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 25
Piercing/Magical damage+DA+PB+AS+bane+sneak attack: 1d6 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 1 + 2 + (4, 5, 4, 5, 6) = 41

Imp: 0/1

Kaos finishs the coup de grace.
coup de grace: 8d6 + 34 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 4, 1, 6, 5, 2) + 34 = 67
It needs to make a fort save DC10+67 or die. If it can make a 77 fort. save Kaos will die.
If it all goes to plan Kaos will move towards a new threat.

Haskyll moves south, and makes a throwing motion.

As he releases, a white spear of energy goes darting south, attempting to strike the 4th Cave Giant.

Leira, try to find cover, or get back here, so I can help you.

Spear of Purity: 1d20 + 6 + 0 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 0 + 1 = 13 DC=Ranged Touch
damage: 5d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 6, 2) = 18

If Neither Evil nor Good, Half Damage, no blindness

[ooc]Sigh, such a crappy set of rolls. :(

Santa's current AC is 25, 29 vs giants

Did something change? If you could update your profile, that would be helpful. What does Anga do in the round?

My current AC (25) is on my info bar of my character, just above here, with current effects, which is mage armor + shield, adding the dwarf AC bonus vs giants for a total of 29.

@Anga - I forgot to add that you casted Shield. What are your actions in Round Three?

sorry, meant to do that in my last post. Was real tired when I wrote it. Also sorry if the tone seems snappy. Same reason. I'll post 8n a little while.

Anga moves up and casts force missile on the nearest foe.
force missile: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

After Ulfgard post his actions, I will recap the round.

Moving on!

Haskyll's Round Two

Haskyll, seeing a new threat approach, calls forth a Spear of Pure goodness that flows from the Dwarf Cleric and strikes the fourth Cave Giant.

Round Three...well, again mostly

Ulfgard is heroic.

Kaos murders the held first Cave Giant.

A Coup de Grace is a full round action. Kaos would not have also been able to move after this attack. I have shifted his token back to next to the first Cave Giant.

The nimble Rogue Arcanist makes an impromptu sneak attack upon the rock throwing Cave Giant athlete. Leira's crossbow bolt drives deep into the Cave Giant's chest. It howls in pain from the strike.

I am writing the actions of the second Cave Giant ooc because Ulfgard could drop the Cave Giant with his actions. Weakened by Leira's spell, the second Cave Giant puts all its energies into one vital strike against the Dwarf Ranger. But Ulfgard was too well-trained against giantkind and avoids the strike. The enfeeblement definitely made a difference.Cave Giant 2, PA, Vital Strike, Furious Focus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 256d6 + 13 ⇒ (5, 4, 6, 5, 5, 1) + 13 = 39

The third Cave Giant moves up closer and throws another rock at Leira. This time its aim was off and it misses the Rogue Arcanist.

Cave Giant 2 Rock Throwing: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 102d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 6) + 9 = 20

The fourth Cave Giant sees Haskyll approaching. It notices the armor that the Dwarf Cleric wears. The massive giant becomes a bit more apprehensive in its attack as it steps up and hacks into Haskyll. It manages to deliver a powerful cutting strike against the Dwarf Cleric, nearly dropping Haskyll.

Cave Giant 4 Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d4 ⇒ 3

Cave Giant 2, PA, Vital Strike, Furious Focus, less Nail Mail effect: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 14 - 4 = 276d6 + 18 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 6, 6, 3) + 18 = 41

Haskyll takes 41 points of damage. Yes. These Cave Giants are nasty. They are more combat trained than the typical Stone Giant. They are the same challenge rating as the Stone Giants, though the standard variety are weaker. These are truly not the standard variety of Cave Giants.

Anga hits the fourth Cave Giant with a Force Missile.

A Giant Wasp suddenly appears and flies toward the third Cave Giant.

Instinctively, the third Cave Giant takes its Greataxe and swings at the massive approaching bug. It hacks into the large flying insect, but does not do enough damage to stop its attack.

Cave Giant 3 Greataxe AOO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 203d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 5, 2) + 9 = 19

The Giant Wasp jabs its stinger deep into the third Cave Giant. The stout Cave Giant was unaffected by the Giant Wasp's poison.

Giant Wasp Sting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 231d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Cave Giant 3 Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Droja quickly moves behind Haskyll, "It is no doubt that you are a brave one. Now finish off this abomination." She touches the Dwarf Cleric with healing energies.

CCW: 4d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 8, 7, 6) + 9 = 35

Haskyll gets 35 points back.

Ulfgard's Round Three and Everyone including Ulfgard's Round Four

Kaos will move around towards the 4th Giant and seeing he can't quite make it. He will throw an axe at it.
throwing axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Hay you ugly bugger come pick on someone your own size.

Anga steps 5ft to one side, and casts haste on Kaos, Haskyll, Droja and herself
+1 to hit, AC, saves. +30 ft move to Kaos and Droja, + 20ft to Haskyll and Anga

Current AC is now 30 vs giants

Observing the group is having trouble at the back and she has to keep up the eastern flank with large injuries on herself, Leira casts vanish and disappears from view.

The trickster arcanist moves then to the walls and easily walks over them up to 25 feet.

Leira breaths relieved as Droja's wisp and Ulfgard come in her assistance.

HP 21/63 AC 19 TAC 15

Do I get an AOO vs Giant 2 ?

Taking a step forward Ulfgard hammers and clobbers his enemy.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 221d4 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Do I get an AOO vs Giant 2 ?

Haskyll does get an AoO with his 15' reach weapon.

Round Three Complete, except Haskyll's AoO

Ulfgard pounds on the second Cave Giant with Agrimmosh. Then bashes again with his shield.

So close! Ulfgard did 57 points of damage. It had 59. So, it survived Ulfgard's attack. It feebly responded. So, Ulfgard will kill it in Round Four.

If Haskyll's AoO happens to do more than 66 points of damage, I will retcon the end of Round Three, otherwise, we will move to Round Four as normal.

Round Four

Kaos tries to move around the Giant's guard for a vital strike.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
GT Vital Strike: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 = 144d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 5) + 17 = 34
And though nimbly dodging the Gaint drops his sword in the process.

only way I get that much, is with a crit. Not happening round 3

Round 4

Haskyll shudders from the impacts, then the energy coursing through him.
He looks at the giant, grins.
Ya will have to do better than that, to bring down a follower of the maker.

He then starts stabbing rapidly with heartspit.

attack 1: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 28
BAB, STR, Bane, Magic, Bless, Haste, power

Haskyll's AoO

As the fourth Cave Giant approached the Dwarf Cleric, Haskyll with Heartspit in hand drives the massive spear into the long-tusked humanoid. It reels from the thrust howling in agony.

Round Four

Ulfgard clobbers, then as the Cave Giant falls unconscious pounds the second Cave Giant to the infernal regions.

Kaos moves around toward the fourth Cave Giant. He throws an axe at the creature. It spins once then twice and buries into the Cave Giant's side.

Vanishing then climbing high up amongst the stalactites, Leira, injured from being pelted by large rocks, takes a rest.

The third Cave Giant chokes up on its Greataxe and tries to kill the Wasp. It does so. The wasp dissipates.

Cave Giant 2 with Greataxe, PA, Vital Strike, Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 276d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 1, 2, 3) + 18 = 34

The fourth Cave Giant tries to finish off its immediate threat. It too chokes up on its massive Greataxe. But its tentative attack misses the Dwarf Cleric.

Cave Giant 2 with Greataxe, PA, Vital Strike, Furious Focus, less Nail Scale: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 4 = 236d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5) + 18 = 40

Without the Nail Scale, the Cave Giant hits Haskyll, and sends him to unconsciousness. But Haskyll is wearing the Nail Scale Mail.

Anga tries to speed things up some and casts Haste.

Haskyll with a bit of help from Anga, stabs then stabs again. The Dwarf Cleric doesn't miss. He kills the fourth Cave Giant.

Droja, seeing that nothing is confronting the third Cave Giant, she begins again to weave a spell.

Round Five

@Kaos - Sorry for any Round Four confusion. Kaos can take other actions in Round Five. You have only one enemy left.

Everyone is up!

Unwilling to call too much attention, Leira steps back in the wall and silently reloads the heavy crossbow of giantbane.
Stealth+invis: 1d20 + 17 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 20 = 48

Kaos moves full speed towards the last Giant.
Can I move through the area in front of him next round?

It is difficult terrain. 10' per move.

My thanks for the healing Djora

Enjoying the new found freedom of haste running through his system, haskll trots up to near the front line.

He stops on the far side of the rough section from the giant, and glances around looking for leira.

Anga moves quickly, sped by the haste spell, as she moves towards the other giant.
If she can see it, she casts a magic missile

magic missile: 5d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 2, 4) + 9 = 22

Ulfgard double moves to flank the last giant.

Round Five

Ulfgard double times it in an attempt to flank the last Cave Giant.

Kaos also moves toward the last Cave Giant, but was hampered by the mass of rocks and stalagmites in his way.

Leira stealthily reloads her crossbow.

Seeing a new target, the Cave Giant moves up to within ten feet of Kaos. It chokes up on its Greataxe and gives the Dragon Disciple its best swing. It didn't miss.

Cave Giant 3 with Greataxe, PA, Vital Strike, Furious Focus: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 326d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 5, 5, 2) + 18 = 41
Cave Giants Miss Chance >50: 1d100 ⇒ 99

Kaos takes 41 points of damage. It is a good thing he has a lot to spare.

Anga moves up and hits the last Cave Giant solidly with a Magic Missile.

The Cave Giant seems startled by the sudden strike.

Haskyll moves toward the last Cave Giant. He stops before the more difficult terrain and looks for the nimble Rogue Arcanist.

Droja brings in another Giant Wasp. It appears, flies over Kaos' head, just under the hiding Rogue Arcanist, and strikes the third Cave Giant. The stinger just missed stabbing the Cave Giant in its heart.

Giant Wasp Sting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Giant Wasp Sting Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Still startled by Anga's Magic Missile, the Cave Giant did not react against the Giant Wasp's sudden approach.

Droja moves toward the fight.

Round Six

The last Cave Giant only has three points left. It may be thinking that attacking was not such a good idea.

Kaos uses his quickness to rapidly approach the last Giant.
Nice one my turn.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Round Six

Just as Ulfgard arrives from behind, Kaos makes a nifty move to dodge any attacks by the third Cave Giant. He delivers a lethal thrust into the Cave Giant's belly as Leira places an equally lethal bolt into its throat. The third Cave Giant was dead before it hits the ground.

Victory!

Droja looks over the lot, "Good fighters, but from their expressions, the Rock Trolls may be smarter. Sad!"

Leira shouts a victory sentence. Then descends from the heights to join the group for any possible channels.

Afterwards she looks for loot and work orders of the giants "It's fine Droja. I think you are right, this are probably even more dumb than the rock ones"
Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

"Perhaps after this we should go back and explore the passage we left behind a while ago" Leira reloads the giantbane crossbow with a new bolt.

Kaos will cast DM and aid in the search.
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

From pouches and sacks found on the Cave Giant bodies, the party will find gem stones of various values. The party has often seen gem stones on the giants. It appears that these, more so than coins, are used as currency for trade between the giants.

Aquamarine (600 gp)
Azurite (8 gp)
Black Pearl (450 gp)
Bloodstone (35 gp)
Chrysoberyl (110 gp)

Kaos will not detect magic anywhere on the Cave Giants or in the cave.

The party will notice a well maintained fire. Charred bones can be found in around the fire pit. Droja will note that bones are from both wild game and Orc. She is disgusted with the thought that the Cave Giants were eating Orc.

Also, the fourth Cave Giant had a fresh kill. The stag it was carrying is fresh for the roasting.

About fifty feet south of the fire pit, the party will see light from outside. From this perch the party can see a splendid valley below. Snow covers the trees, rocks, and grounds throughout the valley. A crisp cold air touches the party's skin as they look into the valley.
However, the cave is quite toasty near the fire pit.

Droja will note that she could use some rest and a hot meal.

Minderhall Valley Map updated with location "R". What does the party do next?

So, lunch? Or is it dinner?

Anga looks appraisingly at the stag.

Anga will note it is a fine stag, eleven points.

Kaos will take first watch. As we set camp and cook the stag he will look around the cave for any writing or symbols. perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Well, cook part of the stag. Something that big would take a while to cook, especially on an outdoor fire. :D

Quite tired herself, Leira willingly accepts to stop and eat the stag "Perhaps you can roast it with one of your fireballs Anga"

Sitting around the food Leira starts biting the thing whatever way it is finally cooked "I miss dill. Do you dwarves never use dill?"

Droja will take it upon herself to dress and skin the stag. She will cut it up into steaks, "This fire has very hot coals. This should not take too long to cook."

She will wash her hands then search her backpack. She pulls out a small pouch and hands it over to Leira, "Dried dill. I would apply it to the meat as it comes off the fire. It is better with fish, but it helps venison too." She also has some crushed dried red peppers, "I prefer this" She hands another small pouch to Leira.

Kaos will look around, but find nothing of value, nor any inscriptions. There isn't even any cave art. But that would indicate an intelligence.

Droja takes a bite of a well charred piece of deer meat. She smiles then asks, "Anyone bring any ale?"

The party will set watches and bed down near the warm fire.

The night will pass without incident.

The party will ready themselves before sun light can be seen in the valley.

Day Ninety-Seven

Does the party head back into the caverns?

Yes we haven't found anything about relighting the forge.
Shall we find out what else this cave has to offer?

"Oh Droja! You are just so fantastic!" Leira forgets for a second Droja's orc ancestry and kisses her in the cheek while taking the dried dill, which she very much apply once the meat starts to cool off. She also smiles as the half-orc offers the dried peppers "So do you like cooking Droja?"

***

Later that night, Leira profits the recess to close up to Anga and learn more magic from her. She attempts to share and review their both spellbooks while tending for the campsite "How you did discover you had a knack for magic Anga?" with patience the young girl slowly copies the scripts in Anga's book until she has transcribed dimension door to her own spellbook.
-160 gp in inscribing material

***

As the day comes up Leira wakes up early to prepare spells. She eats some dried food and walks up to the edge of the cave to admire the snowed landscape at the other side "This place is marvelous. I never expected the mountains to be as beautiful as this" the young girl takes a deep breath and turns back to the party in good mood to face the rest of the day.

"Yes, we left that corridor unexplored" resolved Leira picks up her backpack and her bow. She then readies a bolt in the heavy crossbow "Let's go find those clues to relight the forge"
Perception (backtracking to the missed corridor): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

Before bedding down for the night, Haskyll takes the time to spend the rest of his healing on the party.

IN the morning, Haskyll looks out upon the vistage of the landscape.

Ah this reminds me of home.

he then takes the time to sort and bag up all the gems.

He starts work on another pearl.

Droja draws back a bit from Leira's kiss. Then the Half-Orc Oracle takes a long pause before answering the Rogue Arcanist's question, "General Karrguk preferred my cooking. So, I cooked for him and myself. Cooking is OK. I like to eat."

After a while, Droja touches her cheek where Leira kissed her. Under General Karrguk, Droja was little more than a slave. She had no love for General Karrguk. He was cruel. And Droja knew only cruelty for many long years. With the party she has friends, and Leira's kiss was a confirmation of that friendship. It pleased the Half-Orc Oracle. Plus the party is strong and filled with good warriors, for it is battle that pleases Droja the most.

The party healthy and rested returns back to the cave system. When you go and explore what was missed, you come upon a split in the pathway.

Left or Right? The Cave System and More map has been updated to show the location of the party.

Do the right thing and walk right!
"Well the let´s take the right cave!"

To the right the cave heads about 200 feet before it splits again. It looks like further right or east will bypass the center portion of this cave system. So the party takes the path to the north.

As Ulfgard rounds a bend and moves toward the north, he is greeted by a massive rock heading his way.

Surprise Round

He long heard you coming. Sound echoes quite well around here.

Massive Cave Giant Rock: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 192d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 1) + 10 = 19

Ulfgard deftly dodges the rock.

Round One

Kaos' Iniative:: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Leira's Iniative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Anga's Iniative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Ulfgard's Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Haskyll's Iniative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18
Droja's Iniative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
Massive Cave Giants's Initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Everyone gets to react before the Cave Giant can throw another stone. Back on the Cave System and More map. You are starting actually off map a bit on the bottom center section. Ulfgard is ninety feet from the Cave Giant. Each square is ten feet. The lines represent ten foot increments.

Everyone is up!
