OK, a little confusion, and it was my fault. Sorry about that. The first round is a surprise round, with everyone acting, except the hill giants. Vakmu, Ungor and Rommin act a second time before the hill giants can act. For the sack of brevity and sanity, we will move on.
Ok, so in the surprise round, I could have charged in and attacked a young giant close to the door, I've moved myself in, and here is my attack on the young giant near the door...
So Ungor handled blue? I figured that was the one I attacked in the surprise round? It was alive anyways when I checked earlier. I guess now I'd charge down against, umm, pink? Giant 5? That may provoke from Orange or Pink. AC 26 against those AOOs.
I did ACT in the surprise round... And Ungor should get a 50% miss chance on that 15 damage.
I don't think I owe you an action now - Fenla, Hawthorne and Wilrin are up next, then me.
Sorry I did miss Vakmu's action, uncovering a symbol of mirroring. Symbol of mirroring affects everyone within its area of effect, including the giants.
Quote:
This spell functions as a symbol of death, except it instead creates one illusory duplicate of each creature within 60 feet of the symbol. These duplicates function as a mirror image, moving with the original creatures and mimicking their movements, sounds, and actions exactly. If an illusory double is destroyed, a new one appears on the creature’s turn. The images last for as long as a creature remains within 60 feet of the symbol, and for 1 round/level thereafter. Once triggered, the symbol remains active for 10 minutes per caster level.
. that means the miss chance applies to the party as well. I will roll the miss chances thus far
OK, giant blue is still standing as Ungors claw struck an image, and Ungor takes no damage as his image is hit. Hawthorne and Rommin still hit.
Blue now gets an attack on 1d6 ⇒ 4 result Ungor
As Ungor's image has been popped, and it doesn't reform until his next action, no miss roll is needed
Sorry Chill, I should have been more specific and reminded you about the tricks I play with symbol spells. Do you remember our previous discussions about control of symbol type spells (and Woodland rune?) (I guess it's been 4 or 5 months now... sorry). On how to use the 'programmable' effects of the symbol spells to a casters advantage...
Symbol of Death wrote wrote:
You can also set special triggering limitations of your own. These can be as simple or elaborate as you desire. Special conditions for triggering a symbol of death can be based on a creature's name, identity, or alignment, but otherwise must be based on observable actions or qualities.
As per Vakmu's character sheet, "5 planchettes with pre-cast symbols of mirroring on them, programmed to only affect those displaying the same 3 symbol combination....A set of 12 necklaces (fits up to large creatures, can be multiply looped to fit smaller creatures), that display the aforementioned 3 symbol combination (Arcane Mark, symbol of Boccob, symbol of Celestian)"
I passed the necklaces out before we entered the fort. The mirroring effect is only triggering on party members.

ok... to recap...blue is dead still and Ungor's "hit" popped an image that will come back on his turn...win-win for the party. :)
3 cheers for Vakmu! Is the party up now?
I had actually moved twilight on the map around the corner looking out for any danger.
Fenla's next action (if I didn't miss a chance already)
Seeing the room full of young giants surrounding Ungor Fenla casts a spell to hinder their movement.
Casts slow on all 6 targets (Using Arcane Point to up DC by 2, +1 DC from school focus & +1 DC from Gnome Ability). Will DC 21
Therbin shakes his head in despair. "How could I have been so careless to let myself get captured. I let my guard down for a moment and BAM! That spell certainly caught me by surprise," he thinks to himself as he surveys his situation.
"What a way to go. As a meal to your most hated enemy. Well, I'm not going down without a fight. I just need to bide my time. Not much I can do here in this cage," his thoughts interrupted by some commotion down the hall. He waits to see what the giants do in response.

Ok, I think that Giants (attacked Ungor, popped his image; it will reform on Ungor's initiative), Fenla (cast slow), Hawthorne (attacked Pink, Giant 5), and Wilrin (went off to block the back exit) finishes up Rd 1. We are now on round 2, with Vakmu, Ungor and Rommin acting before the giants.
Vakmu moves foward to the edge of the threshold (5' step) and focuses his will again, on another giant... Slumber Hex, DC 19, targeting Giant Green
That's 6 saves rolled. Blue is already down, so I assume you didn't roll for it. So all of them are slowed (5 saves), and Green is asleep (Slumber hex). Ok
Though it pales in comparison to the flailing jaws and claws of the massive bear, Rommin tries to make a difference with a single well-placed arrow shot.

based upon at least 2 more hits and 44 more damage, the main question is whether orange goes down after the first hit or after the second. so I 5' stepped forward to show Bother H where I want to end up.
I think we have skipped Fenla here. But, well, carry on...
Vakmu slips through the door and jumps across Rommin's line of fire to a safe spot, and then focuses his will again, attempting to render another giant senseless.
20' ft move action, and then use slumber hex as a standard action. Slumber on Giant 4, Purple, Will DC 19 or sleep
Suddenly the door to the north opens, and a hill giant woman, holding a greatclub, emerges.
In giantish
Hey Matron, there's little meats out here. Think they are here to join our dinner?
She moves forward finishes her turn. Another giant follows.
Am I alone now? Assuming yes ...
Seeing the giants leave to investigate, Therbin strains to hear what is going on. "I hope whatever is going on will keep them busy for a while," he thinks as he tries to break out of his restraints.
Strength (DC20):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
The dwarf struggles to free himself. "This may be my only chance to get out of here'" he thinks, frustrated that he can't get free.
Well, do what you need to do. Vakmu's ducking back out the door to deal with the cooks next round... I figure you and Ungor (and Wilrin) have this in hand.
Seeing the Giants come out of the door Fenla yelped. Seeing the Matron moving towards Rommin, Fenla casts a spell at the weapon the Matron is wielding.
Casts Grease on her greatclub - Reflex save to avoid spell DC 17 (+2 from Arcane pool)
Ok, Fenla and Hawthorne have acted, and I am assuming that Chill has Wilrin in hand... Which puts us back at the top of the initiative order.
Hearing the commotion outside the room, Vakmu starts by delegating: "Ungor, Hawthorne, finish this lot. I'm taking a peek at whatever's going on in the corridor."
A 5' step backwards has him in position to peek out the door into the hallway. Giants! Right beside the archer and the wizard - time to improvise a frontline...
I'm not sure I need to cast defensively, I suspect that the doorframe gives me partial cover, to prevent any AoO, but just in case.
Careful not to expose himself, he grabs his lesser rod of extend and tries to drive the closest giant into a homicidal rage at her friend!
He casts Defensively,
Concentration:1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 5 = 29 vs DC 15+2*1=17
