You all heard that too, right? - DM SteveM & Cayzle Tuesday June 25th, 2024 9:52:17 PM Kaida is enjoying breakfast when she hears an incantation. She asks the others if they heard it.
Nadia did not find berries yesterday. This morning, though, she is certain that something is going on not far downslope of them in the morning.
Frit claims not to hear anything.
Aydi hears his stomach growling.
Hamlin knows a spell is being cast, but not what. The sound is coming from beyond the low rise downslope of them.
Aymar hears the noise clearly but does not recognize it.
Nora looks at the crackling energy, and casts detect magic. This works, but takes a couple of rounds.
Ingrida's reaction is immediate. Years of training and combat experience take over, her body reacting before her mind can fully process what is happening. She drops to the ground. She turns to the adventurers with wide eyes, her voice tinged with a mix of fear and determination. "Giant," she hisses. Whether she is correct or not isn't clear at the moment.
The tranquil stillness of the mountainous landscape is suddenly shattered by a brilliant flash of lightning and a simultaneous, deafening crack of thunder. The spell lights up the sky not far downslope from their position, casting eerie, flickering shadows across the snow-covered ground.

"I don't suppose there are big friendly giants?" she asks hopefully. She looks to the group for what to do next. Right now she's quite happy to keep a low profile.

Tis the nature and balance of the world, for giants to fall at the hand of Dwarven axes... Or rather handaxes. Perhaps I should have kept that mithril. Oh well, better to cut through all things that one thing!" Nadia gets out her handaxe and gets ready for the fight.
Nora concentrates on her spell. Nora detects some auras among her companions, but no others within 60'.

Nadia gets out her handaxe and gets ready for the fight.
Aymar is quiet.
Aydi sees and describes the following downslope from the shelf the party chose as their shelter the night before... Over a two-foot high ridge of stone, the mountain slopes to a larger level area. There, five giants fight. The largest is almost tall enough to see the party's camp. Next in size is an ettin, with two ogres for companions and one well-proportioned giant of ogre size. The four smaller giants appear to have been stalking the larger one, arranged in an arc around him. The four are injured; the larger one seems dazed. Echoes of the thunder still echo in through the surrounding valleys and peaks.
The four giants are a good hundred and fifty feet away, the larger one a hundred feet more.

Nadia doesn't seem to know much of giants outside of how they are weak at the knees, and points that out. " Just make sure you take out the ankles and back of the knee, then smash the face. But mentioning an Ettin... didn't we fight one previously? We should await until we have a clear winner, then take them out. Nothing like removing a few threats to the groups to come later."

After seeing the different giants Aydi will see if he recognizes any that are more ammendable and not wanting to kill us. Also, he will look to see if it is the same giants that attacked the gate earlier. He will also try to find a place to hide so he would not be easily spotted.

A foot sweep kick, low spinning kick, a sweep kick, even a low roundhouse, might be enough to down an opponent of his size--maybe even a bit larger than him--but he's not sure how well they'd do against a giant.
He hopes that they have some time before he finds out.

Aymar watches the scene, "I disagree with Nadia. We either choose a side now or hope it doesn't involve us at all. Its more likely we can acquire an ally by helping the solo giant but it would be suicide if were not 100% certain we could win."
He watches the scene but its difficult for him to assess the situation.

She's almost certain that ogres and ettins are bad, and maybe only half of actual giants are evil. She's inclined to aid the single giant. Surely it won't attack the party while they're aiding it?
Kaida casts a Mage Armor spell on herself.
Crumbs - DM SteveM & Cayzle Thursday June 27th, 2024 11:36:30 PM Kaida asks if any of the giants are good. She agrees with Aymar that picking a side could mean gaining an ally.
Nadia doesn't know much about giants. She asks if the group previously fought an ettin. Yes -- yes, they did. An ettin traveling with two ogres and a human. She proposes taking out the victor.
Aydi tries to recognize any friendly giant. He wonders if some of these are the group the adventurers fought before. He thinks they likely are. At least most of them.
Frit tries to take in Nadia's advice about how to attack giants effectively.
Ian readies his bow.
Hamlin suggests diplomacy.
Aymar suggests they pick a side now or not at all.
Noraalso thinks these are the same ogres they dealt with earlier. She thinks the lone one must be a storm giant. She can't talk with them, however -- at least not in Giant.
The giants close the distance between them this round. The smaller ones aren't well positioned to see the adventurers, and if the big one has seen them he shows no sign of it.

Kaida is a bit worried now for Nora being out there alone now that the fight has started.
She casts a Silent Image spell and creates the illusion of a huge air elemental swooping in from which direction the giants aren't looking. Having one blip into view might be a little too telling that it isn't real.
She has it swoop down and land between the big giant and the smaller ones, and look threateningly to the smaller ones. "Friendly air elemental incoming!" she alerts the rest of the party in dwarven.
------------ Standard: Cast Silent Image to create the illusion of a huge air elemental (15ftx15ft). Will Save vs DC19 if interacted with Move: Head after Nora! Move 20ft

Frit holds his position, waiting to see how the giants react to Nora’s speech. He’s not sure that this is a fight he really wants to get into, but he trusts them. If they decide that their little band should join the fight, he’ll be beside them.
He looks at where the giants are fighting, trying to assess the quickest way down, should he need to descend for combat. Unlike Aymar, he’s no good at ranged attacks.
Hamlin Vashtel (Brent Adams) -- AC 13/13/10 -- CMD 13 -- HP 19/19 Saturday June 29th, 2024 9:51:12 AM
Hamlin seeing it's going to get violent is going to move 30 feet towards the nearest giant and prepare to cast pox pustules DC 17 fort save range is 35 feet. ( if im not close enough I will double move to get just within range)
Crumbs - DM SteveM & Cayzle d20=8 ; d100=11 ; Saturday June 29th, 2024 10:55:27 AM Nora tries to convince the giants to talk. Her attempt at diplomacy is noticed.
Aydi considers sneaking closer and casting a spell. Obscuring mist has a 20' range -- it will take two rounds to get close enough for it to have an effect, and it will affect two giants at most. If Aydi goes through with this plan, he just double-moved and can move and then cast at the end of next round.
Aymar shoots his longbow at the ettin, hitting it. Once it is confirmed that the group of giants was part of the same that attacked us before, he readies his bow and moves into position.
Kaida casts a Silent Image of a huge air elemental swooping down and landing between the big giant and the smaller ones, and look threateningly to the smaller ones. "Friendly air elemental incoming!" she alerts the rest of the party in dwarven.
Frit holds his position, waiting to see how the giants react, meanwhile assessing the quickest way down.
Hamlin considers sneaking closer and casting a spell. Pox Pustules has a 35' range -- it will take two rounds to get close enough for it to have an effect. If Hamlin goes through with this plan, he just double-moved and can move and then cast at the end of next round. Or, if the small giant is his target, he can just cast after its move below.
Nadia, Ian, and Ingrida try not to be seen.
The injured ettin has spotted the party. It calls out to the smallest giant, who turns and moves towards the party. It will be close enough to end the next round in an attack.
The battle is a symphony of elemental fury — the earth quaking beneath colossal footsteps, and the roars of giants resonate with the very essence of the mountainous landscape. The ettin and the ogres attack the storm giant, avoiding the air elemental. The storm giant attacks itself as well. But at least it uses its fist and not its sword.

Nadia and Stone held back on purpose, wishing to see how the battle was going, and was a bit confused at the larger giant was attacking itself. But that did not make much of a different to her, as she would take out her sling and target the smaller giant that comes towards them, ready to remove these issues from before. Stone moves with her, but stays close. " We will rid the lands of these evil creatures, now we know they are who we have previously fought."

Frit sees the smallest giant running toward the party, and rushes toward it. He is so focused on the smaller giant, that he hardly seems to notice the larger one punching himself.
If he gets close enough, he will take a swing at it, attempting a stunning strike.

Even with an air elemental between them, all 3 giants ignored it, moved past it, and went after the big giant. She's surprised they all recognised the illusion and didn't even pause to deal with a threat in front of them. Maybe she's not as crafty as she thought?
With no point keeping her concentration on the illusion, Kaida drops it and moves a little closer to the action.

Nadia lets her sling go, hitting the smaller closest giant, in an effort to remove those who terrorized their home a few months ago.

The smallest giant succumbs to the attacks made against it, collapsing in front of Frit.
The ettin is none too pleased with the damage it has taken, but continues to fight, as do the ogres.

Frit is almost as stunned as the smallest giant that his stunning fist actually worked. It's the first time he has successfully deployed this technique.

With the small ogre down, Kaida has no hope of getting in range for a color spray spell. She tries to slow down the smaller giants with a different illusion.
Kaida casts a silent image spell of a steel wall surrounding the large giant.

Frit reflects on how well his blow against the small giant landed, and moves towards the ogres. It takes a full round of movement to get there.
Aydi moves to flank an ogre with Frit, and attacks it. As it is distracted by Frit, Aydi is able to hit.
Nora continues her song and targets an ogre with her crossbow. She hits.
Aymar moves to the Ettin, but is unable to attack this round. (If he prefers not to approach too closely, he can position himself to move and attack next round.)
Kaida casts a silent image spell of a steel wall surrounding the large giant.
A tall steel wall appears around the large giant, coming up to its waist. The wall is taller than the ogres and almost as tall as the ettin. The ogre whose vision is obscured breaks off its attack. The other ogre raises its aim, but misses. The ettin decides to turn and attack the party, moving and swinging at Frit.
The storm giant's eyes focus on what's going on. It gestures and a bolt of lightning hits an ogre, which falls.
The ettin hits AC 26, and Frit takes 12 points of damage.

Nadia moves to be near Nora to get some of that inspired courage, and believes that she may be within 30 feat of the ettin, so she targets it with another sling shot, hoping that the sling can get some good damage in.

Frit attempts to dodge the ettins blow, but isn't fast enough. He grits his teeth against the pain.
Remembering Nadia's advice, he deflects the movement of his failed dodge into a low spinning kick against the ogre, and then gets to his feet, striking out with his left fist.

Kaida maintains her focus on the illusion, edging closer while she does.

Crumbs - DM SteveM & Cayzle d20+6=12 ; Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 7:54:18 AM Nadia moves to be near Nora to get some of that inspired courage, and attacks the ettin with her sling.
Ian fires arrows at the ettin, but they miss.
Hamlin casts blindness on the remaining ogre.
Aydi attacks the blind ogre, dropping it.
Frit uses the momentum of the ettin's attack in his own attacks, doing enough damage to stagger it.
Nora and Aymar also targeting the ettin, hit as well.
Kaida maintains her illusion.
All of the small giants are down. The storm giant, its eyes with a glazed look again, drools for the moment.
StephenT - Aydi Alzila -- AC 19/16/16 -- CMD 18 -- HP 28/28 Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 8:40:35 AM
Aydi will start a fire to burn the ogres.
Jess- Fritjof -- AC 15/15/13 -- CMD 19 -- HP 23/35 Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 1:30:28 PM
Seeing that all of their enemies are down, Frit takes stock of his wounds from the fight. The ettin's blow will leave a nasty bruise on his back. He winces slightly as he checks for range of motion. "Nothing broken," he says to Aydi. "But I, um, I think I'll miss my b---bed tonight. Don't think my bedroll is, uh, going to be very comfortable."
Spencer Holloway Nadia Silvershield AC 19/13/15 HP 28/28 Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 2:46:22 PM
Nadia and Stone also take the time to finish off the orges, knowing they are a threat if they come back up, and the storm giant being injured meant for now that they would be safe.
StephenT - Aydi Alzila -- AC 19/16/16 -- CMD 18 -- HP 28/28 d8=1 ; Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 3:22:34 PM
Seeing Frit is hurting he will have him come near and cast Cure Light Wounds on him. (2HP restored) "Well that might make it a little better. I am still getting use to being able to heal. I think it might be some time until we get the benefit of a bed hopefully I was able to take the edge off for you." Aydi says to Frit
Hamlin Vashtel (Brent Adams) -- AC 13/13/10 -- CMD 13 -- HP 19/19 d8=6 ; Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 4:41:57 PM
Cure Light wounds on Frit = 9 healed.

Nora looks around, and seeing all the enemies down, she turns to her friends. "Well done, is everyone fine? Ah, you got ahead of me", she says, noticing Aydi and Hamlin already fixing Frit's wounds.
"What on earth is going on with this one?" she asks, looking at the storm giant. "Wait, I think I've heard such spells!"

Dominik - Aymar Shakhtar -- AC 24/16/17 -- CMD 21 -- HP 24/24 d20+4=22 ; Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 5:26:32 PM
Aymar sees that the giants are of no threat at the moment and turns his attention to the storm giant. He notices something is off. The storm giant seems to be under some kind of magical control.
"Its not over yet, this storm giant is not acting under his own volition. Do we have a way to dispel the magic or a protection spell to suppress it in any way?" Aymar announces.
He will try to show as non-threatening but will be prepared to defend himself. ----------------------------------------

RobC - Kaida Shadowplay -- AC 17*/13/15* -- CMD 11 -- HP 24/24 Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 8:39:47 PM
Kaida keeps up the illusion of the metal wall. If the storm giant isn't feeling himself it might help keep him contained.
She calls out to him in common. 'Hi there! We mean you no harm. We saw you were in trouble and came to help. We've faced those foes before, you see. I'm Kaida! Have you been cursed by a spell?"
--------- Standard: Maintain concentration Free: Call out
Crumbs - DM SteveM & Cayzle d20+13=20 ; Thursday July 4th, 2024 12:24:24 PM
After a few moments, the giant seems to come to himself. (Nora is unable to identify the specific effect.) The giant assesses the situation, takes a step back, and says, "Good morning. I think I should thank you. If you can carry the weapons of these fellows, you can keep them. Make a great tale, it would.” He grins, “Whatever you say, and to whom, I won’t be there to say otherwise.”
Treasure: * Each of the four lesser giants has: large chain shirt, large greataxe, heavy duty giant-sized satchels with runestones, horns, and pelts (50 gp value each), field rations for 24 human-days * The ettin also has large size jewelry worth 1,500 gp.
Jess- Fritjof -- AC 15/15/13 -- CMD 19 -- HP 34/35 Thursday July 4th, 2024 1:36:15 PM
Frit thanks Aydia and Hamlin for curing him. "Thank you, my friends." To Nora, he says, "I'm sure I'll need some more healing soon. I'm, um, pretty good at, uh, getting hit." He absentmindedly rubs the bump in his nose.
He'll offer to carry some of the loot, and suggests concealing whatever they don't want to carry up the mountain, so that they can retreive it when they return home.
He has no idea what to say to the giant, so he'll let his friends handle that conversation.
MM - Eleonora Deepmine -- AC 17 -- CMD 12 -- HP 23/23 Thursday July 4th, 2024 3:44:29 PM
Nora tries to lift one of the greataxes. "Oh no, this is soo big. No way we can... hey, who had the magic bag?"
She gives up trying to carry the items, and goes to chat with the giant. "We met these before, they were trying to break into our home. But we chased them away. They just wouldn't listen to any talk. We suggested peace and trade, but no". She pauses and sighs, then continues: "But what was your quarrel with them? Oh, and can you tell any news about the area, weather, more ogres, dangerous terrain or so? We're heading to the Forlorn mountain, I think it's that way". She points at her estimation of the direction.
StephenT - Aydi Alzila -- AC 19/16/16 -- CMD 18 -- HP 28/28 d20+8=26 ; Thursday July 4th, 2024 7:51:10 PM "Thank you before you leave would you mind telling us your name?" Aydi says to the giant. He will also look to the sky to see if the two headed bird is around and any further danger.

If Nora struggles to lift some of this equipment then Kaida has zero chance of being able to.
She ceases concentration on her spell now that the giant doesn't appear to be a threat, and asks. "Are you hurt at all?"
Kaida then casts a Detect Magic spell and scans over the gear they have recovered.
Dominik - Aymar Shakhtar -- AC 24/16/17 -- CMD 21 -- HP 24/24 Thursday July 4th, 2024 8:58:38 PM
Aymar takes a moment to offer Domi thanks for seeing them through another battle.
He takes account of the defeated enemies after Nora's comment, "There is one missing. The human one is not here. Though I'm not sure this would have been a fight we could have won if he was here. Do you know anything about him?"
RobC - Kaida Shadowplay -- AC 17*/13/15* -- CMD 11 -- HP 24/24 Friday July 5th, 2024 3:37:49 AM
Kaida pauses and looks to Aymar. "Hey, you're right. And didn't he cast a spell on some of you to make you act like this giant was too?"
