Dark Tower

Game Master brvheart

Way back when we were resting.
Tal'ariel tries to learn some new spells from her favorite princess, Ciri!
Spellcraft, Haste: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 (3 hours)
Spellcraft, Fly: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 (3 hours)
Spellcraft, Resist Energy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 (2 hours, fail)

She cast Mage Armor as they continue their adventuring.

"That pool probably has something pretty neat under it to have that kind of protection.". Tal considers whether she might be able to stop the electricity in the pool. Is it a trap that can be disabled?

Jim was alarmed by the noises from further down the hall. Quietly as he could, he draw his sabre and he trotted back to the others to warn them. Noting Tal inspecting the pool he whispered, "Best try that later, we're not alone down here!" To underscore this he pointed in the direction the noises came from.

Using my wand of shield cast 1 charge, Cl2

"Probably fighting over the beer"::snickers::

"Probably fighting over the beer"::snickers::

Thoron's nose actually smells gold!

Damn, it's useful to be a dwarf.

Tal tries sneaking ahead to get a better view.
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Though she makes an awful lot of noise given her standards.

How far are you going?

30 feet or until I see something.

After moving 30' you can see a room at the end of the corridor some 70' down from there. You can hear voices rather loud at that point.

"Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum.
I smell the blood of an elf!"

Now is a good time for a FIREBALL before we get there

fireball enhanced (DC 17, CL 8): 8d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 1) = 25

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

roll init

Ini: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

init giants: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Init: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Tal'ariel tries one of the fancy new spells she's learned. It's a familiar feeling of speeding up for the party, but the source of the magic is new. Haste!

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Jim's sword was already in his hand and he was poised ready for action.

[dice=Init]1d20+13

Tal'ariel tries one of the fancy new spells she's learned. It's a familiar feeling of speeding up for the party, but the source of the magic is new. Haste!

I will presume the rest of the party moved up to where Tal is last round so everyone is hasted

[dice=Initiative]1d20+2

Sir Rhaym rolls a 1 on init so he goes last. The giant rolled a 2 even though they have a -1 modifier they go before him

LAST NIGHT STUDYING WITH TAL'ARIEL 2 HRS (PREVIOUSLY)

Felix carefully sneaks forward.
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Sword drawn, Jim advances.

He'll also call upon the magic of his Swormaster's Flair as a swift action to spend 1 panache point to grant him an extra 5' reach.

Sir Rhaym's mind wanders, trying to decide on the perfect perfume for Felix...

Girls who like to have book club and gossip, boys who like cosmetics, sounds like high school.

He's in the Thespian club.

You are all hasted so you can get an additional 20-30' move

I've moved Jim a bit further forwards, I think the map to the north isn't yet revealed so I wouldn't want to blunder into something.

I revealed the rest of the map now. Since I was not running for several years I dropped paying for Roll20

Tal
Ciri
Thoron

Move up with extra move from haste and then activate spell storing on ARCANE weapon casting MIRROR STRIKE into Zireal, Zireal activates his magic as a free action!

Zireal sends the word "Ready" in your minds, in a thick gnomish accent!!

init George: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

George moves behind Ciri and Felix

I take a double move to just past Felix.

Tal sneaks forward and peers around the corner.
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

You see three Hill Giants squatting playing dice with a huge set of dice some 3" across. They rise and attack, one charging Slim:

great club: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 = 24 damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (8, 1) + 19 = 28

Attention snapping to the moment, Sir Rhaym lumbered forward in a run, skidding to a stop at the corner.
"Have at thee, miscreant!" He called out in a challenge.
Detect Evil at a glance at the lead giant.

Oh, they are definitely evil - very.

Slim flinched when the Ogre came for him which probably saved his life, or at least saved him a lot of pain, for the ogre's club missed him by a faction of an inch.

Unused to the speed granted by Zireal's magic, Slim stepped in and made a series of probing attacks rather than committing fully.
Hasted attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 1 = 20Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 7 = 17
Primary attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 1 = 25Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 7 = 20
Iterative attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 = 19Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 7 = 19

Expecting a punishing counter attack, Slim sunk into a defensive posture.

"Well THAT looks like trouble."

Tal'ariel speaks a few arcane words in Elvish, and a burst of Glitter descends on the two farther-away giants!
Glitterdust, Will DC17.

She then takes a step back away from the action.

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Slim hit once.

Move 30 ft and cast SCORCHING RAY, at each giant at the end of the table

Scorching ray giant 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 214d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 6) = 17

Scorching ray giant 3: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 114d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 6) = 14

Double moves to the other side of the table.

"let me try to help the party"
Casts prayer on party. +1 to hit, damage and saves. Giants get a -1 to all of those. Should be able to help everyone.

Moving slowly forward Felix attacks the lead giant from stealth.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 251d8 + 8 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 8 + (4, 1, 6) = 21

Moving slowly forward Felix attacks the lead giant from stealth.

[Dice=Attack]1d20+15; 1d8+8+3d6

I guess that means I am not getting an AOO, lol. He hit. I presume you added the +1 from prayer. Edit: looks like no it is not included. And yes, everyone but Planchet is affected.

Hill Giant attacks Felix

greatclub: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (6, 4) + 18 = 28

Two move and attack George

greatclub: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (3, 6) + 18 = 27
greatclub: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (7, 8) + 18 = 33

Looks like the mighty Casey out there! Three swings, three misses!
