Mazra’s Giantslayer Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mazra

Kaos will move to P12 and attack
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 282d8 + 11 ⇒ (5, 2) + 11 = 18

Moving in and putting away his shield Ulfgard swings his hammer with rage induced ferocity.Move, 2last difficult terrain included, he has an aoo.
AttackPAFERA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 342d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 5) + 19 = 28

Alarmed by Anga, Leira starts casting a enlarge person spell in order to try equate the size advantage. She keeps casting behind the cover of the menhirs, probably targeting on Kaos or Ragnir as Ulfgard is too far away.

Ragnir moves up carefully and grins swinging his axe with great fervor, and a feral grin on his face. "Brightaxe!!"

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Confirmed it's a giant now, so he gets his +4 AC bump against giants. Current AC is 26 vs giant

damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Kaos will move to P12 and attack

attack 1d20 + 9 = (19) +9 = 28 2d8 + 11 = (5,2) + 11 = 18

If Enlarged AC 19 and 3d8+13 damage on first hit then 3d8+12 after that.

ragnir, I know you failed to confirm, but remember crits with axes are trippled, not doubled.:)

Ingrahild drops her bow. She pulls her Dwarven Waraxe as she engages the big moist Giant. The axe blade slides off the big beast's slimy flesh, causing it no harm.

Ingrahild Dwarven Waraxe One Weapon 1st attack + Bless: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 201d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Round Two...mostly

Leira begins to weave a spell.

Enlarge takes a full Round to cast. Kaos will be Enlarged in Round Three.

Anga fires a Force Missile at the Southern Giant.

Ulfgard flies into a Rage and goes after the Southern Giant.

The Southern Giant with a Gaff in hand swings at the approaching Dwarf and lands a solid blow against the Dwarf Ranger-Barbarian.

Southern Giant Gaff AoO: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 262d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 2) + 12 = 18

Ulfgard took 18 points of damage.

Ulfgard shakes off the blow and, in turn, lands a powerful strike against the Southern Giant with Agrimmosh.

Kaos moves and attacks the Northern most Marsh Giant.

The big slimy Giant takes a swack at the big human. The Northern Giant strikes Kaos with its Gaff tearing into big human's flesh.

Northern Giant Gaff AoO: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 262d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 3) + 12 = 18

Kaos takes 18 points of damage.

But Kaos with his over-sized axe lands a comparable blow against the Northern Marsh Giant.

Ingrihild moves up and attacks with her Dwarven Waraxe, but the strike slides off the big creatures moist hide.

Great fervor is right as Ragnir nearly strikes a critical blow against the big Marsh Giant.

The Southern Marsh Giant continues to attack Ulfgard. It lands a critical strike on the first blow but misses its backwards thrust.

Southern Giant Gaff 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 362d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 5) + 12 = 21
Southern Giant Gaff 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 202d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 = 19
Southern Giant Gaff 1 Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 302d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 = 16

Ulfgard takes an additional 37 points of damage and falls from the critical strike. He is at -3 HPs.

The Northern Giant single-mindedly continues to focus its attacks on the Dwarf Warpriest.

Northern Giant Gaff 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 292d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 6) + 12 = 22
Northern Giant Gaff 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 232d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 6) + 12 = 22

The first blow landed. But the second one missed Ragnir. He took 22 points of damage from the first blow.

Leira 24 (AC18 33/33)

Round Three

Haskyll still has actions in Round Two. Everyone can now take actions in Round Three.

As Leira finishes her spell Kaos becomes large!
+2 Str/-2 Dex, -1 to hit (for +0 total), -1 to AC (for -2 total), 10' reach, +2 to damage due to Str 2-handed and axe becomes 3d8

Decided to help his companions drop one of the giants fast, the girl gets out of the menhir ignoring Ulfgard has fallen. She moves forward drawing her dagger while still holding the bow in the other hand, and at half way she says a word and a dimensional energy opens a crevice in the middle of the field. Leira slides in disappearing and suddenly appearing just next to the giant!
Dimensional slide to move as marked by the arrow in the map

Profiting the new flanking position to help Kaos score a hit, she also attempts to strike at a vital point making her dagger magical in the way!
mwk dagger+flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21
Piercing/Magical damage+AS+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + (1) = 5
Two 1s seriously? -_-

Move action: move drawing dagger, using 5 feet of the movement for dimensional slide (1 arcane point spent).
Swift action: activate arcane strike
Standar daction: flank attack!

Barely hanging on, just by his rage 10 extra HpUlfgard prepres groggily for the next round.

Right. So Ulfgard is at +7 for now. What does he do in Round Three?

attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 342d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 1) + 19 = 25 In true dwarven fashion Ulfgard attacks, songing his battle song knowing he is dead now, and flicks his shield in place. "Anga, do something. Burn this oneNo matter what he does, he will eat an attack that will most likely kill him. Retreat wont work due to reach. So either Anga can do something or he is dead.Btw you have 3 level 3 spells 1 for level 3 one for high int, one for evoker

Haskyll still has 2 turns pending. Perhaps summoning 1d3 monsters to attempt swarm and distract the giant to give Ulfgard an opportunity. I see little other options :/
I should have prepared ray of enfeeblement instead of enlarge

I prefer enlarge myself. Enlarge akways works. RoE is great, but you have to hit and the enemy has a saving throw.I had two problems. Being alone and a crit

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 323d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 6, 7) + 15 = 29
Kaos gnash his teeth in a rage and swings at the slimy giant.
Controlled rage +4 str.

Anga stands her ground, and casts mirror image.

mirror image: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Suddenly she multiples into 6 angas

Haskyll steps up behind Ulguard

Torag is nae calling ye yet

csw: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) + 5 = 11

He then steps back and starts to summon.

round 2. Step behind ulfgard for cover and heal him for a serious wounds. Round 3. Step back and start a summon monster spell

Round Two complete

Haskyll moves behind Ulfgard and brings forth healing on the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian.

Revised status at the end of Round Two. Need Ragnir's actions in Round Three before the Marsh Giants actions.

Absolutely!

Anga lobs another force bolt at the giant.

force missile: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

round 2

Haskyll steps up behind ulgard and taps him on the shoulder again

cmw: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4) + 5 = 12

Ragnir calls on the blessing of Torag to heal himself as a swift action, heal: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 = 14 and continues his attack on the giant. "Nice swing ya beastie, now's me own turn

Ragnir brings his shield up to stay behind it mostly Fighting defensively and swings his waraxe at the slimy giant.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7AC 28

Ingrahild takes a step next to the sliding Leira, flanking the Marsh Giant with the enlarged Kaos, "Blimey, I thought that human laddie wuz a tallun to begin with." The Dwarf Ranger gets to work striking three times against the Marsh Giant.

26 points of total damage.

Ingrahild Dwarven Waraxe Two Weapon 1st attack w/Flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 231d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Round Three

Leira draws her dagger as she moves toward the northernmost Marsh Giant. As she moves, Leira disappears, reappearing opposite the Marsh Giant from the growing Kaos. With her nifty slide, Leira barely manages to get a stab into the creature's slimy flesh.

Anga taunts the southern Marsh Giant, then cast Mirror Image on herself, becoming six Angas.

After the Marsh Giant's gaff pierces deep into Ulfgard's flesh, the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian, hanging on to breath and life by his rage alone, brings Agrimmosh down hard on the southernmost Marsh Giant.

Kaos grows to a size slightly taller than the rotund Marsh Giant. With his now truly oversized axe, the bigger human goes into a controlled rage, and hacks deep into the Marsh Giant's hide. Blood begins to pour out from its gaping wound.

Ingrahild takes a step. She makes a comment about Kaos and then cuts twice with her Dwarven Waraxe and once with her handaxe against the northernmost Marsh Giant.

Ragnir swiftly brings healing to himself, then bringing his shield up fighting defensively.

Haskyll taps Ulfgard on the shoulder again, providing even more healing to Ulfgard.

The northernmost Marsh Giant bleeding heavily takes a five foot step back and twice hooks its gaff into its new target, the enlarged human Kaos. The really big human swoons and falls to the ground unconscious.

Northern Giant Gaff 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 322d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 5) + 12 = 22
Northern Giant Gaff 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 292d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 3) + 12 = 18

Kaos takes 40 points of damage.

The southernmost Marsh Giant tries to hook again the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian, but this time misses the smaller humanoid.

Southern Giant Gaff 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 192d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1) + 12 = 15
Southern Giant Gaff 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 202d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 = 20

Round Four

The northernmost Marsh Giant has only 3 hit points. If Anga's Round Four Force Bolt noted above is aimed at the Northern Marsh Giant, it will drop that Giant.

Ok shift targets
Seeing the badly injured norhtern giant, she attacks it instead

Assuming the giant drops...

"Ragnir! You are more capable than me! Please help Ulfgard!" implores the girl approaching the dwarf and dropping her hopeknife to cast vanish on him so he can approach the giant without being attacked.
Ragnir@ Invisible for 5 rounds, so you avoid the AoO and get a +2 to attack against flat-footed AC

"I will try to help Kaos!" says the girl, looking for a cure potion in his own bag in an attempt to stop the human bleeding.

5-foot step to Ragnir
Free: drop dagger
Standard: Cast vanish on Ragnir
Move: draw cure light wounds potion
Hp: 33/33
Spells: 3/5

The northernmost Marsh Giant drops.

Dodging first one, then the other swing Ulfgard spits at the giant. With rage distorted face he screams into the giants face"Lets ring some bells!" And with a mighty swing he bashes the hammer right up between the giant legs.
AttackRAPA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 352d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 2) + 19 = 27
AttackRAPA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 264d6 + 38 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 4) + 38 = 51 Sweet Torag if a 26 hits 78damage

And with a massive critical blow from Agrimmosh, Ulfgard kills the southernmost Marsh Giant.

Nice Critical Hit! And that was after the Marsh Giant came close to taking Ulfgard out.

Victory!

If Kaos was awake he would be in awe. Any helpful hints on how not to get k.o.?

Haskyll runs over to Kaos.

Torag aint calling you yet laddie, come back to us.

cmw: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4) + 5 = 12

burning prot evil communal for a cmw Kaos will start at -9

If Kaos was awake he would be in awe. Any helpful hints on how not to get k.o.?

yes. Don't get hit. :D

Darn giant got a lucky hit. But thank you Haskyll.

Well, say the multiple angas, that was fun. Oh, wait a momemt. with an act of will she dismisses the mirror image.

that's better. Twas given me a headache. Anyways ah'm nearly dry in spells. Ah need time ta rest a bit. So let's find this treasure, or settle to camp.

Leira looks relieved as the giants are defeated and Kaos restored "That was close"

She then nods to Anga and starts exploring the druidic circle to secure the area.
Perception (+1 vs traps): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Looking at Anga, at his bruises, back at Anga again Zlfgard replies. "Aye, fun. Well the last giant made a satisfieng crunch."

As Leira and Anga looks around, Anga doesn't find any weapons or treasure. The Marsh Giants are not interested in such things. But Leira notices that the central standing stone is trapped. The thick vines come alive as the human female approaches. The vines tighten their grasp upon the surrounding menhirs. Anga will help determine that vines will drop a standing stone on anyone that touches the large central menhir. The vines are protecting the central standing stone.

Leira tries to escape the grasp of the vines as good as she can "What the-! oh!"
Escape artist: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

The still invisible Ragnir watches the spectacle of the vines coming active, and gasps, "Well now, tha's no somethin' ya be seein' everyday." He steers clear of the vines.

Stop let me try something.
Kaos will approach with the ghost light.

The vines calm down, releasing Leira; then wither away from the rays from the Ghostlight Lantern. The central standing stone now faintly glows with an olive hue. It looks like some kind of portal.

Everybody ready Kaos will head for the portal.

Hold off Kaos, I will be short of spells. We need a break

will use the last of my spells for healing. 3 cure lights at d8+5.

"good work Kaos! Yes, I am ready. Not all is fine, but fine enough!"

Anga sighs
we are low on magic laddie. But if ye wish ta open the possibly nasty portal, be mah guest

The harebrained Leira is up to enter the portal when her more experienced companions stop Kaos and her from entering.

"You are the ones for something. It is true, we know nothing of what is in there and there is no reason to press on. We better go in with all our resources full" the girl agrees.

During the rest time, Leira will likely approach Anga "I have seen you showing powerful magic during the combat with the giants" the girl seems a bit hesitant and troubled as she speaks "Since I lost my mother I also lost my mentor. It would be great if you help me to keep progressing in the art of magic"

Ok so if we are making camp could I get some more healing please?
