Aubrey's Rise of the Runelords campaign

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Bluff check from Alwyn.

[Camlo Zenovia]

Camlo sneaks outside to see what's going on.

Stealth: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (20) + 28 = 48

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

There you go again - natural 20 on Stealth. No one would notice you even if you were practicing the tuba.

[Nevynxxx]

It's balance for all the 1-5s I get on attack rolls.....

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Untrained Bluff check 12+3=15. It should have been Diplomacy...

[Illes Elandru]

Illes whispers a play by play for Hudak and Sefyall, "Giantess. Boss of the ettins. Alwyn is trying to play that he's a giant coming in to size up Mokmurian's operation who took offense at the ettins as too pathetic to live. Not sure if she's buying it or him as a giant"

[Sefayll Valerian]

Whispering back, "Do we want to make her friendly? Or make her gone?"

Is she able to get within 60' of the giantess without revealing herself? That is, from the tower, can Sefayll get line of effect and within range for detect thoughts?

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

DM only:

Spoiler:

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

The giantess squints at Alwyn suspiciously and asks:

Giant:

Spoiler:

"Rimeskull? Are you with the Jarl Vinterorn's tribe?"

Knowledge (Nature) or Knowledge (Local), DC 20:

Spoiler:

You realise there actually are no frost giants near Rimeskull. It's in fact the territory of a white dragon called Arkrhyst. Most frost giants come from the Tusk Mountains, to the east.

If you got 25 or more on that roll:

Spoiler:

Jarl Vinterorn's tribe was routed by local mammoth-riding Kellid tribemen in the Tusk Mountains about ten years ago. The Jarl was killed and the tribe disbanded.

Alwyn:

Spoiler:

Apologies for the abuse of whichever Scandinavian languages I pillaged for "Vinterorn".

As to whether you can get within 60' without being seen, that's down to you rather than me. Alwyn is just outside the door, and she isn't far away, so if you can establish line of sight it might be possible, especially if she comes closer.

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

More skill checks I can't make... How far away from me is she?

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

About 50'.

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Map.

I've placed Alwyn and his lady friend. The others may place themeselves somewhere in the tower. Assuming this goes to combat.

[Illes Elandru]

It probably will but Vatts hold off for a moment. In the morning I'll make the knowledge checks if I can and relay them to you via message.

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Nice. I'll be the Cristian de Neuvillette to your Cyrano de Bergerac.

[Illes Elandru]

Illes points at Alwyn and whispers, "Hey dummy. Rimeskull is dragon territory. Arkrhyst the White. No giants live there. Frost giants live east of there in the Tusk mountains."

When the giantess asks about his tribe Illes whispers, "Its a trick. Vinterorn was killed about ten years back by Kellid mammoth riders. Tribe was routed and disbanded."

Loremaster to Take 20 on Kn Local for 31.
Cast message on Alwyn and include the others in case we spread out.

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Giant:

"Knock this nonsense off. First of all, Vinterorn's dead - he was killed a decade ago, by humans no less, and has no following anymore. Also, if you know anything about Rimeskull, you know my master." Alwyn lowers his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Arkrhyst. The White Worm is interested in the giant wizard of the Black Tower."

"Anyway, I have said enough. Do you have any food in here? I could use a bite to eat before the last leg down to the fortress."

[Camlo Zenovia]

Camlo's in N25 since he wandered out after Alwyn.

[Illes Elandru]

Illes at L20

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

How tall is the door? Hudak's lying in wait, floating 5' above the top of the door in N16.

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Camlo needs cover in which to hide - he isn't magically invisible. There isn't any cover here, so I suggest you lurk in the doorway. I've revised his and Illes position to take account of this. Also, still have no position from Sefayll, although there was talk of trying to establish some sort of line of effect.

The giantess sniffs derisively.

Giant:

Spoiler:

"A frost giant bending the knee to a white wyrm? And you see no shame in that?"

Map updated.

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Giant:

"You do what you need to do. I have no tribe or leader to follow, and the dragon... The Worm might be a cruel master, but things are rarely boring. You would do the same thing if you were in my situation."

Alwyn picks his sword up and walks towards the tower entrance, hoping that the giantess will follow him.

No problem, I was hoing for some large rocks or something.

[Sefayll Valerian]

I missed any response regarding a window in the tower facing the giantess. I will assume there's none - in that case, Sefayll was headed to the roof to try to do the same from there if she thinks the range will work.

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Sure, you can get upstairs no problem. Taking any actions before or during?

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Another Bluff check from Alwyn, please, to get her to follow.

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

If Vatters is away at his job interview, someone else may have to roll.

[Sefayll Valerian]

No, she would have been headed up there as soon as she realized that there was company outside. Once she's there, she will keep her head down among the crenelations as much as possible and attempt her detect thoughts from the helm.

[Camlo Zenovia]

Alyn's Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Seems to be what he used above.

[Illes Elandru]

Give him an aid another from Illes advice if that's alright. Auto pass.

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Stealth check from Sefayll as she creeps about the roof (unless there is a magical approach you want to try).

[Sefayll Valerian]

She's using the air walk spell to mitigate the sound of her footsteps. Hopefully that and distance aid her meager talents...

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Ugh

[Camlo Zenovia]

Concentrating so hard on being quiet, Sef starts to whistle subconsciously....

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

OK, she's 75' away, which gives her a -7 on her Perception check. 1d20 + 13 - 7 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 7 = 19. Also, her Sense Motive check is 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"There's someone on the roof," says the giantess, hearing Sefayll clank about. She cranes up to get a look.

[Illes Elandru]

"Oh hell."

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

"What? Let's go see who or what it is." He jogs into the tower. "Once she comes in, we swarm her", he mutters to the others once he gets inside. "Get ready."

[Camlo Zenovia]

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Giant:

Spoiler:

"Stay where I can see you!" snaps the giantess at Alwyn.

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Giant:

"Fine, fine... You go look at whatever that was, and I'll stay right here."

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Giant:

Spoiler:

"No. First I will kill you for your impertinence, and then I will check it out."

She charges at Alwyn.

Anyone who remains to roll initiative, please do so.

Giantess 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

This one is important, so I'll defer to the dice-roller here.

Initiative Alwyn:: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Crap! Oh well - it was hard for me to beat a 14. Initiative Hudak 9+2=11.

[Illes Elandru]

Illes 21
Camlo 20
Giantess 14
Alwyn 12
Hudak 11

Sef?

[Sefayll Valerian]

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

Illes 21
Camlo 20
Giantess 14
Alwyn 12
Hudak 11
Sefayll 10

Illes.

Map updated.

[Sefayll Valerian]

So I didn't get very far before she heard me, I guess?

[Illes Elandru]

Illes darts back in and whispers to Hudak, "The jig is up. Your turn to be a giant!" He fires up the wand of enlarge person and slaps Hudak on the butt.

MA: Move to M16
SA: Enlarge Person (Hudak)
+2 Str
-2 Dex
-1 attack (size)
-1 AC (size)

I was trying to post his modified stats for ease, but I'm too tired to work out Heathy's profile :P
I had just modified the base numbers but something seems off and there are too many feats and class abilities to sort through for a quick check.

[Sefayll Valerian]

I will see what I can work out.

[Sefayll Valerian]

HL disagrees with some of Heathy's math, but it's close enough that I think I have everything now. If I have it right, what follows is his stats with the Enlarge Person active.

AC 20/T11/F19; 31 CMD (33 Bull Rush)
CMB +19/+21 Bull Rush
Two-handed power attack with Nualia's Tongue: +19/+14 (2d8 + 27/17-20, +4 to confirm)
One-handed power attack: +20/+15 (2d8 + 20/17-20, +4 to confirm)

Two-handed attack: +22/+17 (2d8 + 18/17-20, +4 to confirm)
One-handed attack: +23/+18 (2d8 + 14/17-20, +4 to confirm)

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

OK, Camlo's up. He's away on holiday right now - does someone want to take his turn?

[Alwyn Agnarrson]

Camlo delays for now. Gotta set him up for some sneak attackin'.

[Aubrey the Demented/Malformed]

The giantess charges, her spear aimed to skewer Alwyn.

1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 19 + 2 = 34 to hit, damage 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 2, 1) + 15 = 19

But Alwyn manages to dodge, and she only gives a him a "relatively" light scratch.

Well, that could have been worse...

Alwyn.
