[Recap]
From Dorhak: [Re: Actions]
Dorhak sees the success in dealing with one giant, even if
"Hold! range weapons only!"
GM: Ack. Actually Unali is not seen by party yet.
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Yes, she will fire on the other giant.
GM: Ack.
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
Raddok is surprised that his
ring doesn’t fire. He doesn’t
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
<snicker! About Dorhak’s final comment>
Kiet is not happy about the ring
not activating. He decides he
OOC...Kiet will fire in phase
three, and activate boots for speed in phase
four. He will also keep the jump spell in mind,
with thought of using tulwar on the giant's throat.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Ma 9th, 1636TH]
[Time: Vily ForestEdge night at camp]
Pyan had at times scouting ahead
using his skills as a hunter to avoid normal
forest creatures and not to get the Vily back annoyed at them.
That night before they venture onto
the plains to the north forest mountains he spots
something special in the dim light as he collects fire wood.
Pyan stops at a plant and gets very
excited. He shouts out "A J?d? d? paud?" in his
native tongue. He recognizes the legendary plant from his peoples mythology.
He explains it great spiritual
significances and magical powers. He harvests the
plant with the proper rituals to ensure it keeps
it's mystic properties. thou he doesn't have the
skill needed to prepare it for use. he asked
Arawn and Z'leyra if they have the skills and
will enthusiastically tell them in great detail
about it if they don't seem to have heard about
it even if they try to avoid his advice about the
alleged magical plant. He will insist that is
truly if a J?d? d? paud? no matter how much
anyone tries to convince him he has mis
identified the plant or it's magic powers.
Arawn cautions the hunter to be
careful as he studies the plant. He has the
skills and tools but harvesting has its own methods for each plant.
Barbosa shrugs, “what does the plant do?”
------------
[Ma 10th, 1636TH]
[Time: 7:02:00 pm LW time]
[Phase 1]
Z'leyra moves closer and fires her sling but misses.
[Time: 7:02:03 pm LW time]
[Phase 2]
Z'leyra tries again as she nears
closer but again seems to miss by a few inches as
she gets too far away missing the giant.
[Time: 7:02:06 pm LW time]
[Phase 3]
Fremea turns her attention to the
last giant not aware Unali is on his back. She
fires her single arrow which magically duplicates
into 6 more. Three arrows miss. Three hit but
bounce off his tough skin. One arrow hits in
upper left chest doing 10 points of damage.
Pyan fires his bow at the giant and
hits in the lower left leg doing 6 points of damage.
Arawn selects one of his special
arrows and fires his bow at the giant but it bounces off his tough skin.
Kiet is not happy about the ring not
activating. He decides he must try the other
one, though. Unali could be out of her league
alone out there. He decides to aim at the lower
torso of the giant, hoping to keep Unali as much
out of the line of fire as possible. Kiet also
decides to move toward Dorhak and Raddok.
The ring on his other hand does
nothing again! Rather it does seem to activate
he can see a spark flare up but it seems to be
negated or resisted by the giant.
Raddok is surprised that his ring
doesn't fire. He doesn't see a beam from Kiet's,
either. Did the ring use its power or not? Does
he have 1 shot remaining or still have the 2?
What happened? He's very concerned & decides to
hold his fire for the moment, hunkering behind a
tree with Dorhak, until the giant in the
log-walled fort's entrance is close enough to try
to smash the giant's toes, Achilles tendon or
another foolish (to him) attack that may or may not get him killed.
At least he wouldn't be alone &
something helpful might yet give him a better
chance at actually hitting the creature. He
missed out on the last fight, since it resolved
before any melee came his way, so he would like
to get in a few good hits, if he can avoid both
the tree trunks the giant is wielding, and any kicks the monster might make.
But he's still too far away to try
anything, unless he wants to risk using the ring
again - & he's gonna wait to see if any fire beam
from a ring works before he tries his own ring again.
So Raddok waits and lowers his hand.
Unali deftly grabs the animal hide of
the giant and reaches the shoulder of the
giant. She reaches up and over to try to
straddle the collarbone. But she reaches for
what is the loose string and fumbles trying to
stab the giant's neck. Oddly enough her magical
dagger gives her clairvoyance warning to realize
she will fumble but not enough warning to prevent
it. Instead of preventing it she slips forward
and over the side of the giant. Sliding down the
front of the giant. She stabs the giants to stop
her descent as she slides inside the front animal
hide shirt. Her left dagger stabs into his chest
doing 1 point but enough to stop her
descent. With her right hand, dagger in palm,
she grabs the loose string. She stops a few
inches more and sees the end of the string is
indeed a necklace. In the dim light of the awful
smelling animal hide she sees a round object that
looks like a talisman. Giants are too dumb to
use such. She realizes this must've been
collected and used. Maybe its some protection
even the giant doesn't understand or just a
'shiny object' to wear. God this giant smells!
The giant drops his tree trunk in his
left hand used to bash his back and reaches
toward his front. He grabs the necklace and
yanks. The full strength of the giant pulls
Unali upwards with it. As the giant pultls
necklace, talisman and Unali out he grabs her and
tosses her to the right like a rag doll. She
lands 12 feet on the ground but her dagger warns
her of the danger and she flips in mid air and
lands and rolls onto the ground. She amazingly
takes no damage because of her tough chainmail as
she rolls onto the forest ground from the 8 foot fall.
As the giant is doing this he charges
and lifts the tree trunk with his right hand. He
sees Kimis as she peers over a bush and he swings
on her. The giant hits with his large tree limb
square into her upper right chest doing 6 points.
Z'leyra belts her sling and grabs her
great sword rushing toward the giant with her
speed boosted boots. She tries to get in front
of the giant but a large bush is there and so can
only get to his left. She swings at the giant but fails to hit him.
Pyan shoulders bow and grabs his
spear the time for missile weapons are over.
[Time: 7:02:09 pm LW time]
[Phase 4]
Fremea frowns the giant is near
others so firing on him is harder. But she flies
out and toward his back and fires on his back
maybe if she fires over the height about 10 feet
up and higher she'll miss folks. Maybe.
Upus sees Kimis attacked and sees her
not seriously hurt. Angry he rushes around the
bush coming to the right rear and swings his
battle axe at the giant's lower leg. He hits but
the tough hide blocks his damage. The last one
hits deep doing 16 points in his back.
Dorhak sees the success in dealing
with one giant, even if temporarily. Still have
to determine that. But this second giant has
already gotten clubs in hand. "Hold! range
weapons only!" he doesn’t waste time trying to
tell everyone not to hit Unali.
At least that is what he had planned
to say. So fast how things change. Now he sees
Unali appear from his back and be thrown off and
it charge a group. The idea of missile weapons
is over. It will be too close.
Dorhak sighed and draws his weapon
and charges toward to help Z'leyra. He swings and
hits doing 14 points to his left leg. Three
arrows miss. Two bounce off. One hits doing 4 points to his back.
Kiet is right in front of the
giant. He activates his Jump spell and leaps up
and swings his tulwar at the giant's neck
hitting! But he does not break skin as he lands back on the ground.
Unali shakes off the shock and daze
and stands and charges the giant. She swings
both daggers at the right leg with one missing and one doing 10 points.
The giant roars in rage and swings
his tree to sweep away the pesky humans around
him and instead of humans – the tree limb goes
flying out of his hand 30 feet crashing into t a
tree as it slips from his hands in a fumble.
The giant in a rage kicks out toward
Z'leyra and hits her in the chest with his foot
but she is only knocked back a couple feet taking
no damage from the blow due to her chainmail.
Pyan tries to get in a position but the group is in the way.
Z'leyra's breath is knocked out and
she tries to gasp knowing her luck was in
place. She prepares to fire her helmet dart as soon as she can.
Upus swings on the giants ankle
hitting with battle axe doing 12 points. The
giant begins to sway hurt from the damage.
Raddok moves to help the others.
Kimis swings her own axe but misses.
Dorhak swings but also misses.
[Time: 7:02:12 pm LW time]
[Phase 5]
Fremea fires more arrows and the
final hit point is done to kill the giant. It
falls between Kiet and Kimis. Kimis takes a left
arm to her back and is knocked down but not hurt more so.
Kimis is helped up and the party
notices she is the only one hurt but mildly.
Weapons and sheathed and cleaned as they ensure
the giants are dead. Unali goes to find the
necklace and discovers it broken. Arawn notices
the talisman is damaged and seems to have some
protection magic which is probably why the rings failed?
The King notices the talisman and
sighs. “A Bes item! Probably made in ancient
times and from that cave. That means I hope we
find our escape from this world undamaged. These
markings show Bes artistry with a touch of Elven runes.”
The party moves into the fort as Kiet
warns of the tumble spell to move far to the side
and around. The group ponders how to get the
large trees away from the threshold. Each tree
is maybe 200-400 pounds or more. They can be
toppled easily but dragging them away from entrance will be tricky.
The King speaks to Dorhak, “once we
enter we may want to leave a guard at entrance
maybe my guard and that Red fella?”
GM: Actions? Comments?
Next update....Friday?
GM: I added the Pyan thing on plant now
that I understand the context from Discord. I
also included the ZL sling retro as I did not do
that. All in all a good fight for party sigh the
giants got no good licks in! Upus I keep saying
Opus I'm sorry! Fixed now. Rushed experience
below should be all. I work longer Saturday so I
can work on update Wednesday or Friday depending
on what you do now. Once you enter the
cave. You will see 2 Fumbles. Unali's acrobatic
attempt (thus the slide) and Giant tossing tree away.
