JD's Giantslayer AP - Book 2

Game Master Jack Daniels

Jericho gladly gave the wet druid a hearty handshake as he pulled him back on board. "Not the time to go swimming, G!" The half-elf winked with a smile on his face. After things died down, Jericho went back to navigating the boat. He had been glad for the interruption in the monotony of his duties. Unfortunately, his boredom led to him getting distracted!
Prof. Sailor: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Could only fail on 1-3! Really?!

HAnimal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
ride: 1d20 ⇒ 15

The excitement over Penny returned to her duties.

Cook: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Oh dear, the boats cook is really going to hate me. :)

Results of daily checks:
Ulmo again rows very competently without fatigue, impressing Coxswain with his effort.
Jericho has issues with the boat getting stuck in the shallows, on occasion, but not enough to cause significant delays. If you fail check by 5 or more, you add 1 day of travel to the trip.
Goliath passes his Animal Handling check so the stalls are clean and the horses are healthy.
Penny gets rave reviews for her cooking, earning some dirty looks from Gashnakh.
Overall, the party gets good marks on their performance from the crew and the captain.

Day 3:

The next morning after breakfast, the party starts to perform their duties. An hour into his rowing, Ulmo hears the screams of panicked sailors running for their lives coming from the western end, yelling "It's free!"

Initiative:
Monster: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Goliath: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Jericho: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Penny: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Ulmo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Order: Monster, then rest of party.

As Ulmo investigates, he sees a crewmember trying to run from the western end, gets grabbed from behind by 2 hairy arms, while claws rip into the sailor, killing him instantly! Standing 20' from Ulmo is a four-armed gorilla-like creature, covered in matted white fur, matted with blood! The other rowers yell, as Coxswain yells, "Run for your lives, the girallon is free!"

Party is up.

Monster pic in Slides. Players' position on boat on map of boat - Zoom into 200%. The stairs down are in the galley.

Could you put the links to the maps & slides up top?

The link to the slides is above my profile pic. Thought it was pretty obvious.

Computer is dead dead. Cant use map atm on phone but I am in range…bracing for the animal to charge. Please move Ulmo to stand in front of the fleeing crew so that he can brace and protect them

Brace: If you use a readied action to set a brace weapon against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a charging creature

Brace: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 2d8 + 20 ⇒ (2, 7) + 20 = 29

If there was one thing Ulmo knew was that he wasn’t going to outrun the creature. Fortunately he had decided to risk drowning by wearing his breastplate. ”Get help!” The dwarf roared. Placing himself between the fleeing crew and the monster he took his spear and braced it against the charge he expected to come.

Unarmed and unarmored, Goliath gives the elf a chance the prove his metal. He slaps Jericho on the back and the rogue feels a rough, stiff sensation against his skin, spreading from the point of impact. "I believe in you, small elf. "

barkskin on the elf! +2 ac

Penny casts Mage armor on herself, she will then go down the stairs, making for the the double doors this round.

Can't move my icon

Apologize for the delay.

Jericho thanks Goliath, "Appreciate it." He double moves down the stairs and draws his blade as he moves.
