Bertram hurries to his closest companion, Gunther, and lays his hand upon the injured warrior. Again he feels the power surge through him and into his friend's injured body.

Ingrge 5d8(7+4+5+4+8)=28 d20+10=28 Tuesday January 11th, 2005 9:39:59 PM
Leveling his staff he lets fly with a ray of searing light 28 points which strikes Shaggy right in the chest. no save, spell resistance 28
Olana d20+12=13 d20+12=14 d20+7=14 d20+7=27 d8+3=6 Tuesday January 11th, 2005 11:48:02 PM
Loading up while on the run, Olana fires on Gratbelch as soon as she gets in range. She chews her lip in disappointment as only one of her arrows hit. (AC27 for 6) She'll step a little closer and reload.

Gratbelch suffers 9hpd from Athalorn's lightning.
Lian's blows do 12hpd to the King--but his knees remain unstunned.
Gunther's attack literally brings Shaggy to his knees, while Milo's follow-up with his especially lethal blows as well as Ingrge's magic ray finish off the stalwart giant, who harshly hisses something just before he falls forward onto his face.
Gunther must make a Reflex save to get out of the way of the falling body (versus DC15) or find himself pinned under the late Shaggy. The panther manages to scramble away in time.
Gunther is healed of 36hp thanks to Brother Bertram.
Olana's arrow strikes Gratbelch, though he scarcely seems to notice.
"I...WILL...be...honored...!!!" roars the solitary King as he lifts high his own great sword, using both hands as he targets K'Nara, who whirls her sword up and across the bottom of the smelly giant's belly.
(woot! Crit Hit confirmed: hits AC31 and 24, doing 18hpd.)
Gratbelch's guts fall to the ground, followed by the ex-King himself, the oversized blade slipping to the rocky ground with a heavy clang.
"Give my regards to Gargul, you lech!" the human bladesinger practically spits at Gratbelch, breathing heavily.
Combat is over.
Athalorn (sub Jay B) d20+19=29 Wednesday January 12th, 2005 6:55:14 AM
(Call Lightning Storm, lasts 8 minutes, 30 seconds)
The druid was not hurt in combat.
The druid deactivates his boots then takes to the air in his eagle form to see if he can spot any other giants heading that way. (Spot 29)
Figment (Sub Jay B) Wednesday January 12th, 2005 6:58:23 AM
The mage was unhurt in combat.
He strolls back with the group.
Lian Wednesday January 12th, 2005 7:01:53 AM
Lian looks towards the red-head after she spits. "That'll teach him."
"Well, I'm not walking that way." He points in the direction the giant came from.
Gunther (AC 26, HP 70/75) Animated Shield----Trapped under Shaggy d20+7=11 Wednesday January 12th, 2005 8:55:16 AM
Gunther lowers his sword as he sees his victim is finished and takes a deep breath...only to see a huge hairy thigh headed his way. Caught off guard, Gunther attempts to spin out of the way (Ref=11) but can't manage to make it in time. With a large Oooff all of the air is pushed out of Gunther's lungs as the giagantic hairy leg slams him into his formerly animated shield which the warrior now finds smashed into his face. Sucking in a huge breath, Gunther's face turns green and he begins to cough and splutter. With much effort, he manages to turn his head and finds, much to his horror, that he is now trapped but a couple of feet away from the dead giant's "privates". His face turns from green to pale as he bellows out "By Gargul's judgement seat, get me out of here qvick before I catch a disease dat Alemi's healers demselves can't heal!" Gunther claws at the ground in a desperate but futile attempt to free himself.
Ingrge d20+4=22 Wednesday January 12th, 2005 5:21:13 PM
Going over to help Gunther escape the slender, elder elf seems to be muttering something to himself.
"See what happens when you give the enemy a chance? Some of us get hurt and they still die. Wouldn't it be easier just to kill those we know are our enemies, before we get hurt or killed ourselves?"
Reaching his pinned comrade Ingrge bends down with his knees and gives the giant a lift strength DC 22 moving him enough so that gunther can get out from underneath.
Milo Wednesday January 12th, 2005 7:49:21 PM
Milo smiles an Ingrge, "How are we to know our enemies then? Shall every poor sap that crosses our path and demands an explanation as to our presence in their homeland be considered an enemy? Lets not judge everyone by appearances." Milo wipes the blood off of his blade, and sheaths the weapon.
Olana d20+3=18 Thursday January 13th, 2005 12:28:44 AM
The elf lowers her bow. "There was NO need for that!" she mutters in agitation. "No need at all. What is WRONG with these creatures that they have to keep coming out of the woodwork, attacking us time and time again."
She is upset and angry - at having to kill, mostly. She'd managed to avoid getting hit, but knew that some of the others had taken a beating. That made her angry, too. Her elven sensibilities prevent any further outburst, but deep inside, her head is like boiling magma.
Providing K'Nara is all right - jogging back to the group, she helps with getting Gunther out of giant pile. Her inner fury feeds her strength. ((STR Check DC 18))
Aftermath -- DM Donna Thursday January 13th, 2005 6:07:39 AM
"That King was just too greedy for his own good..." K'Nara states flatly as she sees Gunther get assisted from beneath the corpse of Shaggy. She wipes Lucia clean on the fur-trimmed tunic of Gratbelch.
"Too bad we had to kill the fella that landed on Gunther...he looked like he would have been reasonable." she adds, then casts Detect Magic on the late King of the Fireheight clan. Gratbelch's sword, armor and various other things on his person glow.
"Hmmmm..." K'Nara's eyebrows raise, "...check the other two for magic, will you..?" Her question isn't directed specifically at any one person, as she sheathes her sword and then begins to divest the King of his glowing inventory: a great sword, a set of giant-sized chain mail, a black iron ring set with a fiery ruby, a golden ring that is fashioned to look like a serpent, a slender wand made of smooth dark wood and a rod of black metal that has a small ball on the bottom and a larger one on top.
The wand and rod come from a crude hide satchel that also has about 1800gp in it as well.
Gunther Thursday January 13th, 2005 10:24:17 AM
With the aided help of Ingrge and Olana, Gunther manages to scramble out from under the giant's corpse. Brushing the dirt off, Gunther shudders. "By de gods, it vould figure dat de von place in de Vold vere dere is no vater I vould need to take a bath!! It's going to take veeks for dis stench to vear off." Gunther looks pointedly at Olana. "You vouldn't happen to have any perfume vould you?? Anything's perferable to dis stench!"
