ADQ Table 2 (Inactive)

Wilrin delays, as at this point he has no targets.

Hawthorne darts between giants to trike hard.

The grease spell hits the Matrons club

reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

And also a murderous command hits her

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Oh dear

Vakmu 26
Ungor 22
Rommin 21
Hill giant teens 18
Hill giantess reinforcements 16
Fenla 12
Brother Hawthorne 7
Wilrin 3

By my calculations Ungor and Rommin now act, then the giants. The Matron will enact the murderous command then. Hawthorne has woken up giant green by hitting him.

Oh pink has an aoo on hawthorne

greatclub: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 5) + 8 = 15

which hits I believe

hmmmm. my little friend woke up a sleeping one. so now I have 2 targets to pick from. yeah!!

Ungor will attack the most injured one which I believe is Pink in front of him.

bite attack + PA + BS + SJ: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
bite dam + PA + BS + SJ: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 1) + 11 = 23

claw1 attack + PA + BS + SJ: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
claw1 dam + PA + BS + SJ: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) + 11 = 22

claw2 attack + PA + BS + SJ: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
claw2 dam + PA + BS + SJ: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 11 = 17

bite crit check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
bite crit dam: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 6, 6, 6) + 11 = 30

so as I see my action sequence, bite will crit and do 53 damage YUMMY!! I suspect that Pink giant should go down in that 1 blow. Therefore I would shift my claw attacks to the Green awaking Giant (which may be prone because of just waking up given another +4 to hit) And therefore hopefully both claws will hit.

PS---@GM should probably check the 50% miss chance on Brother H from Vakmu's image

"Fenla! Get in here for protection little one. I've made some space." Ungor will have a teethy blood dripping grin as you come around the corner.

Oh pink has an aoo on hawthorne

greatclub: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 5) + 8 = 15

which hits I believe

Psst, Symbol of Mirroring...

EDIT: I tried Brother Hawthorne...I tried.

Rommin marks the positions of Vakmu and Fenla, then stands his ground. He draws his sword and slashes at the mighty matron.

Bow to his offhand, draws sword, attacks.

Longsword to hit 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15, damage 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Ungor slams in, ripping the young giant a new one. He collapsed, dying.

Rommin strikes with a longsword, but alas misses.

a roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Ungor slams in, ripping the young giant a new one. He collapsed, dying.

@Chill did Pink die on the first crit? or did it take all 3 attacks? I was hoping the bite crit kills Pink and then the 2 claws go onto green who is prone from being asleep?

In terms of Init order, we are at assorted Hill Giants...

It took two hits

Sorry for the delay, It is late here and I will advance things tomorrow

onward

Green strikes at Ungor, and seems to be starting to panic

greatclub: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 1) + 8 = 15 missing badly

The matron's face twists with rage, as she turns and attacks the giantess behind her

You stupid fool! Stop being so close!, then strikes at the gaping hill giant

greatclub: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (7, 8) + 19 = 34

greatclub: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (4, 6) + 19 = 29

Slamming her club into the surprised giantess. The second strike missed.

The yellow giant (yellow, get it?) exits the room. You hear Wilrin

Fingers, attack And a startled scream from the giant as the door shuts.

The giant is surprised and in for a bad time

As it looks like purple is still down for the count asleep, Brother Hawthorne will 5' step and CDG him...

MW Sap Sneak Damage: 2d4 + 12 + 8 + 4d6 + 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 + 8 + (4, 4, 4, 3) + (4, 4, 3, 5) = 55 Nonlethal

He needs to make a DC 65 Fort save or die.

Vakmu takes another 5' step (so as not to draw an AoO from the Matron - she hates her friend right now, but that doesn't mean she likes us...), and addresses the other hill giant (green),

Over the top attempt a bluff! (untrained)...I don't know if I can pull this off, but it's sooo worth a shot. I am trying to get the second giant fighting to the death against the matron.

Bluff!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 vs Sense Motive
+3 Charisma
Chill's call if I have "convincing proof" of my lie, to give a +10 to the roll

Edit : Well, let's hope for a low roll on the giant's part...

@Vakmu - Ah, I don't know about believable. I will give a +5 reduced bonus, due to circumstance.

sense motive: 1d20 ⇒ 14

This giantess is so preoccupied with the matron's attack she doesn't even hear you. If fact, she is so busy cowering, she does nothing this round.

Hawthorne drops the giant.

1d20 ⇒ 4

and as only a 20 saves, it's permanent

Hawthorne drops the giant.

1d20

and as only a 20 saves, it's permanent

There was always that 5% chance though!

Fenla moves in to the room with Ungor now that she has an opportunity.

Used two move actions to get there with her little gnome legs.

Rommin glances over his shoulder. Seeing Fenla darting into the room and Vakmu behind him, he presses his attack against the matron to guard the less sturdy of their squad.

Longsword attack on matron, to hit 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10, damage 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6.

Alas.

so then I have seen all my companions go...so I must be last.

Ungor mauls the remaining helpless giant but seems to enjoy the taste of giant blood

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
bite dam: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 6) + 11 = 28

claw1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
claw1 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 11 = 17

claw2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
claw2 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 1, 6) + 11 = 21

each attack could have a +4 for being prone and awakened??

Yes that sounds reasonable

had some significant dentistry inflicted on me today, so I'll update tomorrow when I feel more up to it.

Yikes, never fun! good luck!

Ugh, hope you feel better.

Ungor, even with the +4 to hit, you miss the giant for your first two attacks, as it has an AC of 19

Ungor lashes at the sleeping giant, but only scores with one attack, injuring it. It is now unconscious due to accumulated damage

The matron recovers her senses, shakes her head. Turning in fury she snarls in badly accented common

Pathetic Elf. Your magics are weak and full of deceit. I will eat your heart for this. and strikes at Rommin, who she blames for the magic. She knows a spell was placed on her, but she doesn't know who did it.

Greatclub: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (5, 4) + 22 = 31

greatclub: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Rommin is hit hard for 31 damage

The other giants still cower, Going full defensive.

Party's actions now.

[Therbin also now acts. The giants in the room are acting defensively]

therbin's init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Brother Hawthorne looks around for Vakmu, seeking guidance as to a course of action.

The matron recovers her senses, shakes her head. Turning in fury she snarls in badly accented common

Pathetic Elf. Your magics are weak and full of deceit. I will eat your heart for this. and strikes at Rommin, who she blames for the magic. She knows a spell was placed on her, but she doesn't know who did it.

Greatclub: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (5, 4) + 22 = 31

greatclub: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Rommin is hit hard for 31 damage

Love Hate to do this to you Chill, but that was an Extended Murderous Command - she gets to spend 2 rounds killing her friends, not one... Also, Rommin would get Symbol of Mirroring...

OK everybody, that greatclub damage is mini-boss scary - 2d8+22 (the other giants were doing 2d8+8); we need to put the fat lady down before she starts singing funeral corteges... If Hawthorne can get to the square I marked with a yellow box and get a sneak in while she's distracted, that'd be good. Then Ungor can 5' step and full attack (which will squeeze Fenla) through the doorway.. (there may be penalties)

Vakmu looks at the force behind the Matron' swings and gulps "That fat girl lands one properly (Crit...) and we're talking goodnite gracie. " He steps back another 5' and calls out "Ungor, Hawthorne, I hope you guys have been taking care of business because there's trouble here in the hall ..". Then he starts tending to his own knitting. Calling on the spirits, he attempts to ensnare the giantess in strands of silk

Take a 5' step diagonally back
use Silkstring Snare on the Matron, Reflex DC 19

Brother Hawthorne double moves into position.

Ungor 5' steps to the doorway and sees what is going on in the hallway. He doesn't know what the problem is with the lead giant...just that there is a lead giant within his 10' reach

bite attack + PA + BS + SJ: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
bite dam: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 2) + 11 = 25

claw1 attack + PA + BS + SJ: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
claw1 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 1, 3) + 11 = 20

claw2 attack + PA + BS + SJ: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
claw2 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 6, 4) + 11 = 23

don't know if she has cover given the reach rules around a hard corner...but at least I think I will land the 1 claw

grapple check: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Seeing the giant go unconscious, Fenla decided to recharge some of her power. Fenla strikes at the helpless giant with her Gnomish battle ladder.

Coup de Grace on the Giant Ungor just dropped.

Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
6 Damage, Fort Save 16 vs Death

:) Ya, just try not to mangle them too much when you eat their faces off. Just knock them down and unconscious. :)

Chill, I think you need a new dentist - the one you're going to is apparently killing you...

Sorry, this time it was a minor surgical thing at the optometrist. A needle in the eye (not as bad as it sounds but still unpleasant). Posting will be better now.

Aw Vakmu, spoliing my fun :(

Action change.
The Matron still affected by the Murderous impulse spell continues to attack giantess blue who, badly hurt, flees north through the yellow door and out of sight.

Ungor lashes out at the Matron, but she has cover from the doorway, so all the attacks miss. Though they look very impressive.

fort save vs coup de grace: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Fenla tries to finish off a giant but lacks the omph.

Fenla, twilight catches a view of the last juvenile giant fleeing towards the front door with Wilrin and his spider in hot pursuit. That is the last you see of the weren't gnome as he chases the giant out into the night, and likely gets distracted. And so departs our tale.

Brother Hawthorne slips past the big bear, next to the matron.

Bump, Rommin to act

You're short a reflex save for the Matron vs entanglement, DC 19. (Silkstring Snare)

Rommin, I suggest getring your arrow shooting bohinkas somewhere where it won't get turned into raspberry jam...

Finally, everyone get ready - I think we're about to get up to our eyeballs in giants. One ran with Wilrin on his tail, so that should be contained. But the cook ran into unexplored territory, and has no one chasing her...
