Game Update #317 in sequence (file #519)

Admin notes: None
----------------------------Recap--------------------------------
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
Jordi quickly realizes that the worst that can happen is that
the giant holes the ship hull. So, he advances to face the
giant, and casts a concealing mist spell, trying to hide the
giant AND the areas of the ship nearer to the giant, so the
giant can't damage the ship... obviously, if the Giant aproaches
the ship, Jordi will try to attack it, with missiles (bow) or
with melee weapons (scimitar if posible, or spear if it remains
at some distance)
(OOC: I don't post any phrase for Jordi, because: a) He can't
speak if he is doing magic.
b) He doesn't have time.)
I forgot to tell you that luck spell is a SIDH spell, so with
SIDH tongue EL 80, some of the spells Jordi cast will have 5
more phases of duration... sorry.
GM: Tongue and Concealing Mist EL0 I'm assuming.
From Chion: [Re: Actions]
Chion attempts to cast levitate on the giant. If he has to
touch it he'll prepare for that.
I'm not doing an inclusion, I'm just casting it on him...
If still doomed to failure Chion will simply use his crossbow
I guess. He'd rather cast levitation on it so that it can't
swim away...
GM: Unfournately, as discussed in the quick email. Levitation can't
be cast on others. Only the caster. At EL1 and up you can then
include others (1 per EL I believe). Even if you could cast
it on another person there is a weight limit. Seeing as he is
many many times your weight that is a problem. So either way
it can't be done. So will assume crossbow. Will assume you
have it already loaded so you can fire.
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Wow that ballista rules! How long does it take to reload?
(Remember we've got 4 people working on reloading it) If we
can reload it in 1 or 2 phases, Ben'Dar will help reload the
ballista as quickly as possible to fire a second shot. If it
will take longer than that, then Ben'Dar will rush up to the
railing closest to the giant and try to skewer it with his
pike when it gets close enough.
GM: The ballista (which isn't a true ballista but more a box
rigged like a massive multi-layered crossbow) was told about
in a post way back and described in more detail. But to
summarize there are 16 slots for bolts that click into the
tight alignmd place (the shaft forms tight around to prevent
wobbling on extraction). Then on the back spring loaded
pulleys and a massive singular spring (and many multi springs
on each slot) pull back and then fire the bolts. The problem
is the tension created has alot of energy in it but it is
short range. Usually only when a ship is alongside the other
ship. There is some basis in reality on this on a phoenician
weapon I read about once. But that's another story. The
more the folks there to load the better. With 4 people it'll
take 2 phases to reload and that's being fast.
-------------------------Update------------------------------
Turn 1: Phase 2
[Mana Allocation]
[Caladan and Trembyl, Z'leyra continue to allocate mana.
Jordi Allocates new mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Thig closes the range to the Giant and from a high position
fires his repeating crossbow. But it misses by a good 2
feet.]
[Neva fires her bow but misses completely..]
[Chion aims his heavy crossbow at the chest of the Giant
and fires. The shot goes square and hits doing 7 points
of final damage to the angered giant..]
[Ben'dar, Balrog and the others start to reload the ship
weapon as fast as they can..]
[Magic Effect]
[Caladan speaks his final words and raises both hands up
and out toward the Giant high above the rolling ship.
He cups his head and then blows with his mouth. Suddenly
a giant massive fireball explodes from his hands and moves
swiftly (17 odd feet per second) toward the giant only
20 feet away. The impact of the fire ball is felt by most
on the ship as the heat radiates out. The massive fireball
does 28 points of damage to the Giant after its natural
armor. The pants smolder but do not catch on fire. The
Giant's hair and beard singe and smolder. But most of
all the net did catch on fire and the giant's reflexes
are to drop it. Burnt skin peals away from the body and
the giant looks a mess...]
[Trembyl finishes his spell and points to the Gaint. Suddenl
a giant (to humans) black snake forms around the neck of
the Giant. It tightens around the neck of the giant and
tries to do a quick bite at the face of the Giant. But
the snake slips from the wet skin and fails to strike only
half a inch away. The giant suddenly lets out a howl as
he realizes the snake is on him...]
[Jordi quickly speaks the words for a concealing mist but
finds nothing forming around him...the spell fails..]
[Z'leyra continues to allocate mana for her final spell]
[Melee and Movement]
[The giant isn't close enough for melee weapons at this
point. So no melee actions from the ship.]
[However, the Giant though startled by the snake walks
closer another 10 feet. He stops and tries to use
his trident to dislodge the snake with his other hand.
Forunately he drops the large net. It slips to the
water but he has the foremind to use a foot to snare
the net so it doesn't drift away..]
[the Giant uses his left hand to rip at the body of
the snake tearing it to shreds with his claws. Blood
splatters all over the ship and water. Some who believe
it find them soaked in it. Otherw sho see the illusion
as it is sees the blood dissolve as it hits them. The
snake is badly hurt but still moving..]
Turn 1: Phase 3
[Mana Allocation]
[Z'leyra finishes her mana allocation]
[Missile Fire]
[Thig fires at the large Giant's head and hits this time
but only does 1 point of damage.]
[Neva fires her bow but misses again..]
[Ben'dar and the others finish their reloading and prepare
the springs to be fired again next phase...]
[Magic Effect]
[Z'leyra casts her teleport spell and holds her bow...but
finds she is still feet above the ship...the spell
failed...]
[The illusionary snake tries to bite again but fails to
strike damage..]
[Melee and Movement]
[The Giant stumbles forward another 5 or so feet and
finally rips away the last of the snake and flings it
way out to sea...the giant then gives a howl and raises
the trident up into a prepatory strike to the ship..]
