No worries! I didnt think about huge vs large either, lol
What about the spike growth zone? Trying to figure where it extends please

whoops, meant to include that. It's there now - the black box

whit10 wrote:whoops, meant to include that. It's there now - the black box

It’s a 20’ radius. The area of effect goes out 15’ more in each direction.

"Arrod, stay safe, my friend."   Arrod will move and Dash 80ft off the map to the south, after Zax takes his turn.



"Oh my Queen, today is a goooood day to die!  Guide me to your arms once more."  

Warhol and Marvin see Zax fade away into shadow.  He reappears dismounted next to the giant at G-7 with Shatterspike held high overhead.  He still looks like a translucent shade.

Bonus action - Blessing of the Raven Queen. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 3rd level, you also gain resistance to all damage when you teleport using this trait. The resistance lasts until the start of your next turn. During that time, you appear ghostly and translucent.

Action = Attack, 2 swings,  full Power Attack -5\+10

Top of round 2.  Marvin is up!

I think that's the wrong map?

fixed

whit10 wrote:fixed

lol, its just not your fight, GM

radius of spell is still too small.  20ft radius is 20ft in all directions, so 40ft by 40ft

fixed again

here, lets make this easy

fine

Will post Marvin’s turn tonight

Marvin draws down on the giant in the defile and lets loose an arrow that appears to be wrapped in vines, with fern leaves where the flechettes should be:

another giant appears at the entrance to the defile but it's movement is slowed, it can't target anyone due to LoS and it takes damage from the Spike Growth. It did not make it's Wisdom save to see the terrain/spikes

Rolling line 1 : 2d4 + 0 to total : 1, 1, TOTAL: 2

It takes the damage and the giants are done.



Warhol is up!

It’s 2d4 for each 5’ of movement.

I need to start carrying my dice with me. Been years and years since I got to throw a full handful like that. Digital just ain’t the same.

Will post Marvin’s turn tonight.

visions of Brian Huber playing Shadowrun come to mind

Marvin advances behind Zax to G-8, using his bonus action to move Hunter’s Mark to the next target. He leans out from behind the elf and snaps off two shots at the next giant coming down the pipe:

Thu Jul 21 2022 06:42:03 GMT-0600 (MDT)
Rolling line 1 : 1d20 + 10 to total : 13, + 10, TOTAL: 23

34 damage. Marvin is done

ok, two more arrows thunk into the advancing giant.

Well, hill giants ain't real sharp.... so the one that is visible keeps advancing on Gor'Zax while taking damage from the Spike Stones

Rolling line 1 : 6d4 + 0 to total : 2, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, TOTAL: 10

Now it takes two swings at 'Zax with it's club... it's feet are somewhat shredded at this point and it's bellowing in rage

Rolling line 1 : 1d20 + 8 to total : 16, + 8, TOTAL: 24

Rolling line 1 : 1d20 + 8 to total : 11, + 8, TOTAL: 19

need to clarify something... the main weapon that 'Zax uses is a two-handed weapon right? So he isn't really able to use his shield right now as I understand it?

Just want to be correct on this, let me know if I missed something.

correct, current AC is 19, sadly

at least they are not crits

yeah, sorry dude.


Rolling line 1 : 3d10 + 5 to total : 10, 1, 9, + 5, TOTAL: 25

Rolling line 1 : 3d10 + 5 to total : 6, 6, 1, + 5, TOTAL: 18

total of 43 pts of damage.

The remaining giant comes lumbering into view... and takes 4d4 damage from the spike stones (it helps when the enemy isn't real bright)

Rolling line 1 : 4d4 + 0 to total : 3, 2, 1, 3, TOTAL: 9


The giants are done



Warhol is up!

Blessing of Raven Queen is still active until my turn, so Zax has resistance to all damage.  He takes 12 and 9 for 21 total

Nevermind, that was 2 turns ago, lol

yeah, I thought that had expired. Right?

whit10 wrote:yeah, I thought that had expired.  Right?

of course, the turn I had damage resistance, the giant missed twice

my next turn went by so fast, I forgot about it, lol

Warhol summons the unicorn spirit.
Unicorn Spirit. The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.

Then he casts healing word as a 3rd level spell.
Result of the throw of dice "3d4 +12" :

4 + 4 + 4 + 12 = 24 Hp back to Zax.

Marvin pauses briefly to consider if it's truly covering fire while he's standing right behind the aggro-elf, but shrugs it off as quickly as the thought arrives and snaps off another shot:

Thu Jul 21 2022 16:29:28 GMT-0600 (Mountain Daylight Time)
Rolling line 1 : 1d20 + 10 to total : 11, + 10, TOTAL: 21

Marvin will use his bonus action to HIDE behind Zax, employing Cunning Action and his Halfling Lightfoot ability to Hide in a creature's space at least one size larger. Both giants are subject to an active Perception check against Marvin's Stealth roll:

Sat Jul 23 2022 08:49:10 GMT-0600 (Mountain Daylight Time)

well that's a nifty little power....

The remaining giant advances (taking 6d4 in the process) and then takes two swings at 'Zax.

First the damage he takes:

Rolling line 1 : 6d4 + 0 to total : 4, 2, 3, 3, 1, 3, TOTAL: 16

Now he attacks:

28 to 'Zax.



Warhol is up!

DM is Marvin hidden from this giant?

Also, as a free action he says quietly to Zax "Lets try to subdue this one!"

um, as far as you know you're hidden...

Ok, just let me know if my next attack has advantage or not when it comes up as that’s the benefit to being hidden in combat.

oh, I know. I had taken note of it

Zax hp 32/67

Zax will use his reaction for a Riposte BM after the miss

3 + 4 + 12 = 19 hp to Zax.

The hawk continues to search for threats. The 4th giant?

Cheers!

The hawk does not see anything. No giants for miles around.  However, a dust cloud is growing to the west and headed your way.  It's entering one of the few forests so the hawk can't quite see what it is.

The giant is singed... and is still bellowing and screaming regardless.

now 'Zax goes and inflicts another fine hit.  

Map if needed.



Top o' the next round.  Marvin is up!
