The red giant takes an attack as the Pack enters a frenzy but cannot land a hit on the foe. Thyste quickly finishes off the bear.

1d100 ⇒ 63
1d100 ⇒ 89

The red giant strike himself and the other follows suit striking red.
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 192d8 + 12 ⇒ (8, 3) + 12 = 23
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 172d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 2) + 12 = 18

The red dragon still has its eyes on the blower of the horn. "How about I cook you before I eat you."

Fire damage DC 19: 6d10 ⇒ (3, 10, 9, 3, 9, 5) = 39 Thyste, Little Buddy, Ben Save Please.

"That's so much less sexy!" groans Thyste, dancing out of the way as much as she can manage:

Charmed Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 5 = 36

Man, I oughta pick up Evasion some time.

reflex, heroism: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

"Ouch. This is brutal. Ulretha would want us to avenge him. I think. Or at least die trying. That I know."

Ben moves around to try to pick up a flank, but there is nobody there to flank with. Still, that dragon needs taking down!

to hit great axe, heroism, haste: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 28
damage, vital strike, whetstone: 10d6 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 6, 1, 4, 6) + 20 + 1 = 66

Looks like he finally hit, and hit well.

reflex, atavism, haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 19

Ben gives Little Buddy the command to attack the giant instead of the Dragon, the dragon having too much resistance. Little buddy does his best, running upt to and clawing at Urathash. And, yes, drawing an AoO.

to hit talon, greater magic fang, haste, Atavism, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 26
damage, greater magic fang: 1d8 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 17

Oh, lest we forget...

RETALIATION: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34
Piercing: 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Arrow Champions can return attacks when struck. ...Wish I hit a little harder in general, though.

When the dragon starts breathing fire, Lidia becomes less cautious with her shots, pouring as many arrows at the beast as she can.

Full Attack on dragon. Haste, Heroism, Imp Precise Shot, Deadly Aim, Manyshot, Rapid Shot

Ranged Attack#1 (Manyshot): 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 18 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 3 = 27Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 6 + 2d6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 + 6 + (3, 5) + 3 + 6 = 30

"Where's Ulretha? I can't see him!" she calls out to the others.

Ben is not quick to answer Lidia, fearing his response might hold her back, or worse.

Azardra moves forward and looks at the giant that killed Ulretha and starts casting another.

Suggestion DC 20 Will save.

"Hey Mr. Large Giant. There is no need to continue fighting as this dragon and your other allies are easily able to kill us small folk! You should leave now and try to evade the petty enemies. You can take the stairs in the back and rest for a couple of hours and sleep upstairs." she says calmly to convince the large stone giant!

Spell resistance? Spell penetration +2: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 = 29

With sudden focus seeing the fall of their compatriot the group focus on the most immediate foe slaying the dragon with a series of devastating attacks.

After her first arrow kills the dragon Lidia turns to Urathash and starts firing. Her first arrow goes wide...

...as her second arrow seems like it is going to miss she sees an arrow from another source that bumps her arrow ever so slightly causing Lidia's to hit.

Long Bow: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

"I have the giant marked with my hunter's bond."

All attacks against Urathash have +4 attack and damage.

will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 "Witch stay out of hy mind." Urathash says to grandmother.

Trying to clear a safe path the giant inquisitor attack the pack. Starting with green and going counter-clockwise if one falls.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (19) + 25 = 442d6 + 17 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 17 + (2, 2) + (2) = 26

Ulretha does not fall. Even the servants of other gods serve the Might of Gorum and there is a spark of divine light that heals Ulretha a moment before the devastating attack that makes everyone think he will be killed.

He closes the distance with Urathash and swings Gorum's Thorn.

"You are not mighty!"

Gorum's Thorn plus Haste plus Divine Favor minus Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 + 1 - 3 = 15
Damage plus Divine Favor plus Destructive Smite plus Challenge plus Destructive Judgement Plus Power Attack: 3d6 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 9 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) + 11 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 9 = 41

Urathasha's first blow downs Fazingar but Onnikka withstands the next two.

She moves to the side to get an advantage on her next attack with Ulretha distracting the giant...though his swing is so wild she's not sure why the giant is paying any attention to him.

Onnikka Bite (dire collar) (Haste) (Heroism) (Flank) (Ulretha's Challenge): 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 23

Crezobill leaps to the attack to avenge his fallen packmember.

Crezobill Bite (dire collar) (Haste) (Heroism)(Ulretha's Challenge): 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 34

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 3) + 9 = 15 plus Trip (dire collar) (Haste) (Heroism) (Ulretha's Challenge): 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 33

and...

Crezobill Bite (dire collar) (Haste) (Heroism) (Ulretha's Challenge): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 27

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19 plus Trip (dire collar) (Haste) (Heroism) (Ulretha's Challenge): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 24

With Hildy's mark firmly in place and the head giant focused on the gnoll he is certain he killed. The remaining members of the pack jump on the giant biting and trying to drag him down.

Over in the corner, the red stone giant is slain leaving the remaining one to see a new foe.

Lidia takes a step forward and lets loose with a full barrage of arrows.

Azardra looks at the giant that killed Ulretha and starts casting another spell.

Blindness DC 20 fort save.

"Hey Mr. Large Giant. Darkness." she says!

Ben and Little Buddy make contact thanks to their bond with Hildy. Lidia lands three clean shots.

Ulretha is knocked unconscious for real, this time, though not splattered dead.

Stabilization check: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 5 = 18

Onnikka lifts her snout in disdain as Ulretha is downed while she nimbly dodges both of the hammer swings at her. Then, she moves in for the kill, adjusting her position slightly.

Crezobill leaps to the attack to avenge his fallen packmember (again.)

Sorry I've been MIA lately, I've got plenty of free time but my brain ain't cooperating.

The Stone giant once again smashed Ulretha to the ground with and defining crunch. The sound sends Onnikka and Crezobill into a blood rage, and they rend flesh from bone, slowly dragging the stone giant inquisitor to the ground. "Bless me!"

As soon as the words bubble from the creature's mouth, Thyste runs up the back of Crezobill, who hardly notices her existence, and fires three arrows down the throat of the giant.

Blix channels when everyone is near 5d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 6, 2) = 21

Ulretha, you are bought back to consciousness. We will work out how much healing as you all RP.

Ben looks around and notes that all the foes are down and all of his allies upright and he nods his head approvingly.

"Well, that went better than expected. Those were some pretty hard hitting, very large opponents."

Just to be careful, Ben wanders around to make sure none of them are healing magically.

Lidia puts away her bow and runs over to Ulretha. "Hey, are you all right?" she says, kneeling beside him. "I could hear your bones cracking from across the room!"

Esmé meanwhile is sniffing at the motionless body of Fazingar. Lidia looks over and groans with sudden sadness. "Oh no... poor little guy."

Ben approaches Lidia and the prone hyena and checks for life.

It takes Ulretha obvious effort to get back to his feet and he nurses his ribs and one of his legs as he does so after Blix sends out his healing energy. But he shrugs off Lidia's worry with a scowl.

"Only the weak are slowed by things like broken bones. We stand victorious, our strength proven once more. Nothing else matters," he says.

He gives Blix a begrudging nod of thanks but it is accompanied by a venomous glare.

Without another word, he begins searching the bodies for spoils.

Fazingar is much more appreciative of the attention he gets. He whines a bit at his injuries until Onnikka snaps at him. He gives another yelp then quiets down though flops on his back and looks exceptionally pathetic as any humanoids give him attention.

"This ... this was brutal ... but ... how ... how does the Gnoll live after this beating?!?!" she says in awe.

Thyste is right beside Lidia as the two move to Fazingar and breathes a strong sigh of relief as he proves he's still breathing.

She then proceeds to call him every foul name in the book (and several from books no one has any business reading) for making her worry...

...all while speaking in a baby voice and scritching him behind the ears, rubbing his belly, and patting his haunches.

Nodding with satisfaction, he joins Ulretha in the search, also amazed that the gnoll is still standing after all that.

"Fine fighting everyone."

After a while his form shrinks down to normal Ben size, the elemental body spell wearing off.

On the body you find:
scroll of prayer
mwk breastplate
+1 warhammer
cold iron dagger
dagger
silver dagger
bane baldric
boulder bag
mwk artisan’s tools (armor and weapons)
spell component
pouch
stone unholy symbol of Minderhal
10 gp

Looking around the room, there is a coffin that someone has attempted to open recently though it seems they failed.

A bane baldric? Nice! I think Thyste should have this item as it will significantly boost her damage output when needed and increase her chances of confirming a crit and getting back panache.

Nudging the breastplate, Ben comments "A bit large for any of us but it does look well made. I wonder if it was made here. The baldric looks nice and useful."

Always the egalitarian he suggests, "I feel like I and Ulretha have already gotten enough goodies and either Lidia and Thyst should take it. Either of you interested?"

A what? *frantic googling* Oh, sweet! That won't be useful until I can not touch my dory for 24 hours, but that'll kick in soon.

"Yeah, I could go for a sash. You think Trunau will give us sashes? Y'know, when we've stopped their problems?"

Once he knows what it does, Ulretha pays little mind to the baldric. He has the sense that Gorum will bless him with the same ability soon enough.

In a gesture that may surprise the others, he does take the stone unholy symbol.

Any surprise will likely fade when he also takes the warhammer and uses it to smash the symbol to gravel before dropping the warhammer.

He goes to the coffin. "Was someone trying to get in...or out?" he asks, examining it.

Thyste shrugs. "Is there a lock on it?" she asks. "Or was it just too heavy or something?"

Once it's clear everyone is going to be all right, Lidia sits down with her back to one of the pillars and looks dazedly at the giant bodies around her.

"We actually did it." she says to herself in a tone of mingled pride and wonder. She soaks in the moment for a while, then digs into her pack for her whiskey bottle and treat herself to a long drink.

Esmé has padded over to the bear corpse and is tugging away some nice joints of meat before the hyenas driver her off and claim it.

Fazingar wiggles like a cub at the attention from the other two legged members of the pack until Onnikka comes and gives him a nip to remind him to maintain his dignity.

They leave the bear to Esme and head to the dragon to begin sating their hunger with its flesh.

A what? *frantic googling* Oh, sweet! That won't be useful until I can not touch my dory for 24 hours, but that'll kick in soon.

It would also work on that little twig thrower of yours too, but you have to pick one or the other.

"We are not out of here yet. We should heal up before we move on or poke our noses into things. Let's see if Blix has anything left for us. How about it, Blix? Can you do that channel thing?"

Thyste shrugs. "Is there a lock on it?" she asks. "Or was it just too heavy or something?"

Someone was trying to get in and it seems locked.

Bane baldric "but must first attune a light or one-handed melee weapon to the baldric by hanging it from the cloth for 24 hours" But I'm never above letting some change the properties of an item (make it work ranged) if you can find a way to do it that is interesting RPwise.

Blix, "Happy to let's start with these."

Channel: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 3, 3) = 18
Channel: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 4, 4) = 20
Channel: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 2, 6) = 22
Channel: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6, 4) = 15

"How is everyone feeling

Roll whatever cure spells under level 5 CL 9 you need, and I will know them off of Blixes list.

"Shall I?" asks Thyste, popping a lockpick into her hand. "Or shan't I?" she asks, making it disappear.

It seems to be an open question for the group.

By the end both Little Ben and Little Buddy are in really good shape and Ben is eager to continue. "Feeling pretty good. Ready to move on now."

"Well, if you can open the thing, I think we need to. Seems pretty important."

Ben stretches his body and luxuriates in being human again for a while. The troll form and elemental forms are powerful, but... odd, and Ben. With the others healed he also breathes a sigh of relief. Though he has no right to do so, he thinks of them as his 'charges' and worries that one day he will have to put one of them into the ground. But then he considers Blix. What a crazy world. No better proof than that there is 'life' after death right there.

Azardra is kind of confused and conflicted.

“So you all think that it is not strange that the gnoll was pulp and now can talk again?!?“ she asks incredulously.

"Get used to strange things. We have a ghost that heals us, Giants on the rampage, and spells that can summon creatures from the otherworld. I dunno. It just seems more of the same to me, the way we've been going."

Thyste blinks.

"It's not like he died or anything, and we have healing magic, so..."

Thyste didn't even notice :D

"I was only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive," Ulretha replies.

After Blix's channeling both he and Fazingar only look a little dead.

One CLW will wipe out the rest of Fazingar's HP damage, automatically.

Cure Critical: 4d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 5, 7, 3) + 9 = 26

And that gets Ulretha up to within 2 HP. Not even worth quibbling over.

"You should definitely open it. There might be something valu...important inside. At worst, it will be some terrible undead creature that will kill us all and doom us to an eternity of torment wandering the land as it's minions.

"But I'm sure Blix will take care of us, then."

His tone suggests that the "taking care" is not of the healing kind, in this situation.

Thyste groans.

"Lids, can you point your bow and arrow in a this-thingward direction? I haven't learned how to pick a lock from across the room yet," she says, eyeing her quiver for a moment with a passing moment of interest, "so if some sort of horrible ghast does pop out, I'd like it to eat shaft instead of me."

"...Arrow shafts."
