Anuk Thursday December 4th, 2003 8:57:24 PM
Returning from his search for a good spot from which to shoot, Anuk stops and gapes as Grymash suddenly grows...and grows...and grows.
He gives a low whistle and mutters, "Light,". Moving to stand directly below his gargantuan friend, he puts a hand to his mouth and hollers, "How's the weather up there, Gry?"
As the tension in the air increases, Anuk readies his bow and nocks an arrow. Looking about, he finds Flea. "I think I found a couple of good spots. Wanna stay near each other through this? We can gang up on a few of 'em when they get nearer."
Flea (AC19, HP28) Domi's Ward, Bless Thursday December 4th, 2003 10:37:50 PM
As the cleric lays his hands on the gnome she gets that calm feeling she had once before. That feeling is enhanced when the blessing is made over the pack. I must get to know this god, Domi. When this is over, I must ask Trellus to tell me about him. She doesn't say anything, but she gives the cleric a genuine smile and a nod of appreciation before she follows Anuk.
Liana (AC17 due to shield spell, HP17, nuetralize poison, Shield ) Thursday December 4th, 2003 11:10:06 PM
She closed her spellbook and put it away, her studying and switching of the spells complete. Trellus casts a spell on her..she nods her thanks and casts Shield (+4 to AC and negates magic missle, duration- 4 minutes) upon herself.
Gilan (AC: 20, HP: 34) [neutralize poison, barkskin, shillelagh] Thursday December 4th, 2003 11:23:22 PM
Gilan looks to Black and nods as he turns to the group. "I have to agree Trellus..sounds like a warning to me." He makes his way over to the enlarging Gry and touches him as he casts barkskin.
With a look to the others he makes his way to Jake and gently lays his hand on his shoulder, casting bull's strength on him. Lastly he moves off to stand near Trellus, he invokes his last barkskin on himself along with shillelagh. He takes a couple of swings with the club in his hand and smiles. He slips a potion into his shield hand as he looks on and waits.
DURATIONS barkskin+2 40min or 240rounds bull's strength+4 4min or 24rounds shillelagh 4min or 24rounds
Jake Friday December 5th, 2003 4:42:11 AM
Jake tilts his hat when Gilan shakes him while casting the spell and yawns theatrically as he stands up. He bows to everyone present, and picks his sword out of the soil. "To life..."
Grymash Friday December 5th, 2003 12:16:43 PM
A loud rumble grinds and whines from Grymash's enlarged gut. Gry quicky places his hand on his stomach. Suddenly Gry bellows out a loud, >"BLLUURRPP ... URRAACCH!!"< A larger puff of smoke blows from his mouth. Grymash's expression is a mix of amazement and the bitter taste of acid reflux! "Ohhh ... dat uh biggun!!
DM Kevin Friday December 5th, 2003 4:17:17 PM
Darkness falls accross the plains. From the distance a sound can finally be heard which sounds like rolling thunder. Ocassionally, the blowing of a ram's horn may be heard as well. They are coming. Ready or not, Battle is on its way.
Flea (AC19, HP28) Domi's Ward, Bless d20+23=42 Sunday December 7th, 2003 7:10:31 PM
Flea sneaks into a hidden nook (Hide=42) and carefully lays out 5 arrows. Anuk is in view, as is the pack. She says a little prayer, "Domi, I do not yet know you, but the blessing bestowed by your cleric, Trellus, has protected me in the past. Please, protect me,Trellus, and our pack this day as we fight to protect that which is intended by nature to happen."
Flea shrugs her shoulders, unsure if the message of a small gnome would be heard by a great god of the Wold. She chooses an arrow, and winking an eye shut, examins the shaft.
Trellus (ac 20, neutralize poison, bless, shield of faith) Monday December 8th, 2003 8:22:30 AM
The cleric waits nervously beside his friends.
"C'mon already," he mutters. Waiting to get attacked totally bites grass.
Liana (AC17 due to shield spell, HP17, nuetralize poison, Shield ) Monday December 8th, 2003 1:39:19 PM
She stood at the ready, looking over the horizon towards the sounds of approaching battle.
Grymash (ac23, hp46, enlarge, prot./evil, bull str, barkskin, longstrider, neut. poison, fb) d20=12 d20=18 d20=6 d20=19 Monday December 8th, 2003 2:42:08 PM
Grymash hears the booming roar of the approaching army in the darkness. He stands up to his full size and shouts out to the masses.
"EVERYONE ... GARGUL WATCH BATTLE DIS NIGHT. LET OUT SHOUTS AN ROARS AN BATTLE CRIES!! LET GARGUL KNOW THAT IF WE DIE DIS NIGHT DAT WARRIORS WILL COME TA MEET HIM! DAT WE DIE ON FEET AN WIT WEAPONS COVER IN ENEMY BLOOD! LET OUR WORDS ECHO ACROSS DA LAND ...TALKI FRESAL, DONDIT LIKI! SHOUT WIT GRY, TALKI FRESAL, DONDIT LIKI ... TALKI FRESAL, DONDIT LIKI!"
Grymash continues to rally the troops as he roars his battle cry. For added effect, Gry stomps the ground and clangs his weapon against his buckler. Grymash also releases every bit of positive energy that he can possibly channel. (Turn/Channel positive energy checks 12, 18, 6, 19) Hoping the positive energy will fuel their rage and inspire everyone to fight until their very last drop of blood.
(Gry continues his readied action.)
Anuk Monday December 8th, 2003 3:13:03 PM
Bow in hand, Anuk anxiously awaits the arrival of the enemy.
Gilan (AC: 20, HP: 34) [neutralize poison, barkskin, shillelagh] Monday December 8th, 2003 3:29:59 PM
Gilan steps over beside Trellus and looks to his friend. "Looks like we are going to take a healers role again till things get really bad." With a smile he gently laughs and then turns his attention to the sounds of the approaching army. With a look to the others he sends a prayer to Mother Wold to look after them this night.
He smiles again at Gry as he tries to stir their battle lust. It was always good to have the barbarian on thier side. With another smile he adds his own voice to Gry's as he shouts out the last. "TALKI FRESAL, DONDIT LIKI!" Testing the weight of the club in his hand he shakes his head and prepares himself for that which comes.
DM Kevin Monday December 8th, 2003 7:30:50 PM
Formations of barbaric raiders emerge in your area running full speed towards you. Behind them are groups of the Baron's men riding on rapke. It is a horrifying sight. The army chargeing you is obviously bloodthirsty and outnumbers the manfri and walker army by at least two to one.
(party's initiative)
Flea (AC19, HP28) Domi's Ward, Bless d20+9=28 d4+2=3 Monday December 8th, 2003 9:42:19 PM
Flea notches the arrow, and pulls back on the bow. She sights the most logical target and waits for a signal before letting fly her first arrow.
(Held action: Hit AC 28, for 3 HP damage)
Liana (AC17 due to shield spell, HP17, nuetralize poison, Shield ) d4+1=3 Tuesday December 9th, 2003 1:17:16 AM
As soon as she sees the massive army she picks a target(one of the Rapke riders) and when that target get within 100 feet of her, she will cast magic missle.
Jake (Heroism, 37/37, AC 21/21) d20+12=23 d10+4=11 Tuesday December 9th, 2003 7:27:05 AM
Jake chugs the potion, then drops the empty bottle into the sand. He sweats, watching the line of guys approach, and will follow the leads of the walkers and such. If they charge to meet the oncoming onslaught, he will as well. If his pack stays where it is, he will as well. In any case, he moves now in front of his members, but stays crouching low with his sword waving small circles in the air and his shield now raised at ready...waiting, as arrows and spells whistle above him.
(When they come in range, I will charge if anyone else is charging, yelling a battle cry. If I do go charging, as Jake always does, he will use his power attack to inflict maximum damage on the first try. Otherwise, I will wait till they come into melee range then hit them. Hit AC 23, 20 if I was charging, did 13 damage (I forgot the +2 morale bonus to damage from heroism in the roll), 18 if I was charging.)
Trellus (ac 20, neutralize poison, bless, shield of faith) Tuesday December 9th, 2003 9:35:42 AM
Trellus quietly waits behind Grymash as the half orc roars his battle cry.
The cleric breaks a Seal at his side and then waits for a group of the raiders to get within 30' before unleashing its energy.
(Deep Slumber, Will save DC 13 or fall asleep for 3 minutes. Affects up to 10 HD of creatures)
(Everyone remember that Bless spell!)
Grymash (ac20/22 against evil, hp54, RAGE, bless, enlarge, prot./evil, bull str, barkskin, haste, longstrider, neut. poison, fire breath) d20+6=25 3d6(4+5+6)=15 d20+17=33 d10+15=23 Tuesday December 9th, 2003 10:18:34 AM
(Grymash downs the Haste potion from his readied action of the previous turn.)
The fire that burns within explodes into an infernal rage. Eye of Gargul from Grymash's shield lights the night sky with a bright shimmering light. All who stand this night cant help but see the ferocity in his giant size frame and expression. Bloodshot eyes, smoke trailing from his tooth nashing mouth, muscles and veins gorged with blood.
Grymash charges forward 30-ft in front of the others. The ground shakes under his stomping feet. Spinning his huge double axe, Grymash bellows a deafening roar of pure savagery. "GRROOOWWWAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!" (echo ... echo ... echo)
(Intimidation check. Demoralize Opponent option, under the skill description. +4 Size bonus to Intimidation skill. The front combatants that are charging who can see Grymash in all his glory must make a d20+HD+Wis modifer check against my DC of 25 or become Shaken for 1 round from Intimidation.)
Grymash punctuates his battle cry with a cone of hellfire shooting from his mouth. (30ft cone for 15 points of damage, reflex save DC 13 for half. If in range) The 13-ft tall, 2,000 pound, fire breathing, berzerking half-orc giant stands ready with his first victim. (Gry has a 10-ft reach, so first medium-sized victim in range will recieve an attack of opportunity. Hit AC 33 for 23 points of damage.)
Anuk (AC 20, bless, point blank shot, bracers of archery) d20+11=26 d8+2=6 Tuesday December 9th, 2003 2:57:45 PM
"Talki fresal, dondit liki," mutters Anuk to himself as the raiders come flying into view. He pulls back on his bowstring, his gloved right hand resting on his cheek. He sights a raider near the front of the oncoming horde and waits until he is within 30 feet to fire.
(Held action. Hits AC26 for 6pts of damage)
Twinge glides silently on the ground nearby, keeping within a couple of feet of Anuk at all times.
Gilan (AC: 20, HP: 34) [neutralize poison, barkskin, shillelagh] d20+6=12 2d6(2+5)+3=10 Tuesday December 9th, 2003 10:08:09 PM
Gilan watches as the horde charges down on them and swallows. He mentally runs the numbers through his mind and shakes his head. It is easy to tell that they are outnumbered.
With a last glance to the others he screams once again at the top of his voice. "TALKI FRESAL, DONDIT LIKI!" He then prepares himself to smash his club into the first enemy that draws near.
