"Keep a sharp eye out." Fitz warns.
"Plenty of hiding places once we get further into the mountains."

Fitz follows Karl into the mountains.
"It sounds as if we have a clearer direction for our investigation now." "Should we make camp and start south-south-west tomorrow?"
To the giant: "Look here you over-sized bandit. I want you to know that the small folk are coming for revenge and that if we see you again we'll make sure you die." He points to Cutie: "That beast over there has chased down and killed a dozen giants on it's own. It's master will set it on you and the last thing you ever see will be that horn and those hooves trampling you down." "Now go! Back into hills and trouble the small folk no more!" Then he draws his dagger, cuts the giant's bonds, and steps back.
"I did tell him we would let him go if he answered our questions." Fitz says as the giant becomes agitated.
Fitz tells the others: "He says the giant chieftain is in a Steading. He says it's south-south-west of here. Three days walk for him, more for us." Then he asks: "What else do we want to know?"
Fitzroy asks the giant: "If you tell us who your chieftain is and where he dwells, we will let you live."
"Does anyone need a magic longsword or crossbow bolts?" Fitz asks. "It looks like we're having ham and a snake egg omelette for dinner." "and somebody tie up that giant."
"I can speak the giant tongue." Fitz replies to Ebixus when he asks. As the group goes through the contents of the giant's bags he asks: "Who keeps a bag of live pigs?" The trickster pulls out a wand and heals his wounds.
Fitzroy helps search the downed giants.
Same action as before.
ok, I assumed it was the equivalent of a surprise round.
So people acted before I threw the alchemist's fire and the enemies revealed themselves? I thought initiative didn't start until they revealed themselves and you rolled it. That's when I posted combat actions.
Fitz grimaces at the pain in his twisted ankle. He stands up behind the Menhir, dusting himself off from the dirt and branches stuck to his cloak after his tumble. Rauber, the raccoon, climbs back his body to perch on his right shoulder. He focuses for a brief moment to concentrate chanting a series of arcane phrases and passing his hands before him in an intricate series of motions. He casts Haste, affecting himself and the rest of the party.
Alistair will hold his turn until he can see the giants.
"Hill giants!" Fitz calls out from his perch atop the standing stone. Fitz casts Hideous Laughter (DC17 Will save) on the closest hill giant.
and then backflips off the standing stone to land on the far side, away from the giants.
He's pretty clumsy on top of the stone.
He lands badly on the far side of the stone, twisting his ankle.
Becoming visible, Fitz pulls out a flask of alchemist's fire and tosses it down onto the earth concealing the hidden monster.
Sorry to hear that. I hope your wife has a speedy recovery.
Realizing that there is something underground, Fitz backs quietly towards the ring of stones and climbs up to perch on top of them.
When he gets to the top of the stone, he drops his Vanish spell and signals to the others, pointing down to the inside of the stone circle where the danger lies hidden.
Fitzroy moves forward invisibly into the ring of stones and starts to circle counter-clockwise.
I can't select anything on Roll20
Fitz casts Vanish on himself and moves forward to scout the stones. (invisibility) (+1 for traps)
"I can scout ahead if the rest of you want."
"Maybe circle around these stones?"
Fitz stops and asks "Uhhh...what's up with the rhino?"
(+1 for traps) "Keeping a sharp eye."
Fitz will stay close to Karl and his water buffalo.
"Continue on this path tomorrow, when the sun rises?" Fitz asks the others.
"Go in peace then, Thane Ogier." Fitz tells the giant.
In common to the group: "It seems like these giants are peaceful refugees. He says that other giants are making war, but that something even more evil is behind it. He also says that they're leaving and fixing it is up to people like us." in giant: "Thane, do the other giants have a king or leader? If they do, where does he or she live? and do your stones tell you anything else about this evil behind the giant attacks?"
Fitz steps out in front of the giant with open hands and speaks (in giantish) "Easy friend ... we are but fellow travelers in this land. We offer no trouble or offence...."
Fitz moves back to the party.
When he arrives he tells the others in a low voice. "There is a party of giants approaching. I couldn't make out the type. I've never seen them before, but they aren't hill giants or ogres." He continues: "They definitely don't look like a war party. They appear to be a mixture of males and females, adult and young. If anything, I would almost think that they look something like the refugee parties of humans we've seen. I'm not sure what they'd be afraid of though." "We can probably avoid them, or alert them to our presence and see if we can get information from from them."
Fitz moves forward to investigate, stubbing his toe on a rock as he leaves the camp.
Fitzroy's eyes widen as his familiar points out the movement in the dark. The raccoon quickly dives into the little pack on Fitz's belt that he typically rides in. Fitzroy quietly incants the words of a quick spell, casting Vanish on himself. Invisible, he whispers to Naji: "I saw them too." At this Rauber chitters indignantly. "I'll take a closer look while you get the others awake and ready."
Fitz and Rauber get up for the last watch, the little raccoon paying closer attention to the environment than his master (who is somewhat distracted by his spellbook)
"I'll take the last watch."
"The tracks look to be a single giant and several ogre henchmen."
When the tracks are pointed out Fitz takes a look.
"Fine by me."
"Maybe we should just turn the horses loose."
"It's true, I've heard sometimes they carry sacks full of rocks to throw at people."
When the group sees the damage to the bridge, Fitz examines the damage and the suspicious circumstances of falling rocks on an empty plain.
"Looks like something threw these rocks at the bridge in order to damage it. The giants could be trying to cut themselves off from enemies outside of their mountain homes."
"Better to avoid being seen and avoid unnecessary conflict while we locate the true danger."
Hey, I'm a rookie at roll20. I am already in one roll20 campaign. Is it possible to set up multiple avatars for different games? Seems like it has to be, I just don't see it at first glance. Or do you, as gm, set up the tokens/avatars for the characters?
"We should keep a close watch. It's unlikely that bandits would be brave enough to challenge us, but you can never tell." |
