Ep 122 7/4/4720 AR: Evacuating Jorgenfist

 (Narcissa decides not to come as Dimension Door is useless for evacuation)




Simon N. (GM):GM: It's day after fight with Zutha, you stayed over at Heidmarch manor in Magnimar and restored 20 hp each
Chris T.:84/`84HP
184
Simon N. (GM):Sorshen met Ruk & Quillax via Dream and warned that Karzoug had sent rune giants to destroy Quillax's library fortress at Jorgenfist.
Chris T.:eek
Victor Septimus:is this considered a short rest? i'm still not entirely sure what recovers via your homebrew rule.
Simon N. (GM):She also warned that runelord Alaznist had killed-ish runelord Xanderghul and may have begun disrupting the time line.
A short rest is 1 hour.
Victor Septimus:So staying the night is a long rest then?
Simon N. (GM):Technically 1 week long rest is a DMG variant rule not a homebrew rule.
long rest is 1 week so no.
Victor Septimus:Ok. So treat this a a short rest then? That's what i need explaining.
"Resting
1. Short Rest is 1 hour. Maximum 3/day.
2. Overnight Rest of at least 8 hours restores 1 hp/level, and 1 level of Exhaustion. Casters may swap out 1 memorised spell after an overnight rest (but no slots are recovered).
3. Long Rest is 1 week, allows training to level up. Restores Exhaustion. A long rest may include some routine travel at a sedate pace along roads - ca 15-20 miles/day walking, or ca 30-40 miles/day riding - but not hiking through difficult terrain more than ca 10-12 miles. A day with combat or other exertion does not count as resting, but previous days of rest do count towards the total. A ship cabin allows for resting. Resting in squalorous conditions may require a CON save, usually DC 10 (easy) or 15 (moderate), with a failed save extending the rest time required by 1 day, then reroll. A comfortable wilderness campsite with some foraging and hunting of small game does allow for resting."
Overnight is a short rest with additional benefits. You had a nice time in the Pathfinder lodge with the scented soaps and clean sheets so +20 hp.
Quillax:Hi
Simon N. (GM):hi Keelia!
Chris T.:Hiya Keelia
Do we know when these Rune Giants may be arriving?
Rukvara:yo K
Simon N. (GM):(no)
Victor Septimus:That's much more clearer thank you. I haven't seen this rule break down.
Chris T.:Can Mal scout using Thunder her Pagasus to look for signs of theirapproach?
Simon N. (GM):GM: You step through a tree from Heidmarch manor and arrrive at Jorgenfist. The druid Dermirr is playing nearby with his black bear Tom, he looks up. "Arch Druidess! Zutha is defeated?"
>>Can Mal scout using Thunder her Pagasus to look for signs of theirapproach?<< Mal can summon Thunder and take to the air. BTW Mal sees the Jorgenfist aerie (50' up a 150' stone spire) the druid Rothuun is up there with his hippgriff Blackmane.
Chris T.:cool,I hope Blackmane isn't hungry...
Quillax:"Yes, Zutha is defeated, although we have more work to do and harder still."
Simon N. (GM):GM: Can you all see your figs on the VTT?
Quillax:I don't see any figures?
Simon N. (GM):Thunder (just uploaded!) :) appears with a whiny and a crack of thunder.
Near south side of Jorgenfist. Scroll in to ca 150%
Chris T.:Ah yes, found us :)
Rukvara:I see us
Quillax:Ah!
Chris T.:Nice Pegasus token :)
Simon N. (GM):(Imogen liked it) :) Dermirr nods to Quillax. "Yes, Archdruidess. Runelord Karzoug?"
Chris T.:"Lady Quillax, I will go see if these Giants are near by. Excuse me." She leaps aboard and takes off.
Quillax:"Yes, he is a very big threat at the moment."
Simon N. (GM):Mal takes to the air.
Quillax:"We need to evacuate."
Simon N. (GM):Dermirr: "Evacuate?!"
Quillax:"Jorgenfist is in great danger"
"It's better to get those who are less powerful out."
Simon N. (GM):Dermirr: "Half the Druids are dining, I think the rest are in the Library classroom."
You begin walking.
Quillax:Sorry - I've got my mum on the phone - need a few minutes
Simon N. (GM):Dermirr: "We are rather a long way from anywhere here, of course... but I'm sure with your great powers all will be well, Archdruidess." He leads you to the Great Hall where some druids and archer guards are having breakfast.
Meanwhile Malassandra circles higher...
Rukvara:"This isn't a small scale attack, the library WILL fall"
Simon N. (GM):Then she sees them, beyond the nearest peaks a mile or so to the north, the 40' high forms of two massive Rune Giants! They are approaching at a good speed, javelins and greatswords in hand.
Chris T.:She swoops back at full speed to give the alarm!
Rukvara:"can you tell how long we have?"
Simon N. (GM):At their current pace they'll be visible from Jorgenfist in 10 minutes and in attack range in 12.
Rukvara:Which direction
Chris T.:"Looks like3 we have a fight on our hands.."
Simon N. (GM):Rothuun hears her cry and also takes to the air to see what's going on.
Chris T.:"From the north."
Victor Septimus:"So these are the giants you fought before, i was debriefed on your last encounter with them."
Chris T.:"If we take the fight to them we may save Jorgunfist."
Rukvara:"s much as I wish we we're, we're not here to fight5, we're grabbing as many of the books azs we can and stuffing them into our Boh
we have about a dozen or so i think
Quillax:(sorry a few more minutes)
Chris T.:"We can not let the library fall!"
Simon N. (GM):The druids and serving maids in the hall hear the commotion at the doorway and look up.
Victor Septimus:"We may noy have a choice in that"
Chris T.:"There are but two of them. "
Rukvara:we're you not here the last time?
as in when we battlefd Rune giants?
Chris T.:"Last time we fought on their terms. This time we may plan our attack."
Simon N. (GM):@Ruk & Quillax - Sorshen told you Karzoug was sending a 'squadron' of rune giants, implying a full squad of 10 or so. These could be scouts. Of course 1 rune giant is pretty much a one giant army...
Rukvara:"we dicscussed this a few days ago, we cannot hold the lidbrary, Quillax will agree with me
Victor Septimus:"My briefing lead me to believe you fought 2 or 3 last time. to which you lost companions to, both rather held high in thier combat prowees."
Quillax:(Right, sorry about that, back)
Victor Septimus:prowess*
Simon N. (GM):Druidess Sheela hurries over, her pixie Alkaia flitting nearby. "What's going on, Arch-Druidess?!"
Quillax:"We cannot hold against this many, though anyone who wishes to try, I will stand by them. Instead we must empty the library and evacuate."
Chris T.:"Wellit's your homeLady Quillax. You must decide.."
Simon N. (GM):brb getting tea 3 mins
Chris T.:"But if we can't defend Jorgunfist, where in the world will we be safe?"
Quillax:"Rune Giants approach," she expains. "Ready everyone for evacuation. We must get the dangerous books from the library. Anyone who cannot fight, must get out now - we brought extra individuals with magic."
"I despair of Jorgunfist falling, but I cannot leave them to be slaughered either," Q says.
Rukvara:Ruk looks at the junior Pathfinders Head to the library and help load all of the books into your Bags, we need every last one we can get
Chris T.:Mal flies off again to keep watch on the approach.
Quillax:"I need to speak to Clank and the Librarian. Sheela, organise the evacuation - anything dangerous needs to be taken. Those who can evacuate themselves can stay if they choose. Anyone who can fight needs to guard the retreat of those who cannot."
Chris T.:staying out of reach of those huge javelins :)
Quillax:Q strides off towards the Library, she shouts up to Mal, "Let us know when they get too close."
Chris T.:Mal waves that she understands.
Simon N. (GM):back
Rukvara:"I'll fill my bags then protect the last evactuees
Quillax:Q nods at Ruk
Victor Septimus:Victor adds some of the books to his own BOH
Quillax:"Bring all those outside of the walls inside of it and close the gates," she shouts out to whoever is listening as she strides off
Rukvara:"tell me if you need to drag your robot friend old man druid to safty
Simon N. (GM):Sheela nods. "I'll round up everyone up here."
Quillax:Q nods gratefully at Ruk
Simon N. (GM):OOC I've put Thunder under your control Chris
Chris T.:(OOC wouldn't we have an advantage if we opened the gates and lured tham into the caves?
Simon N. (GM):GM: It takes several minutes to descend into the bowels of Jorgenfist via the 80' central pit, pass through the caverns and reach the Library... you won't have time to grab more than a handful of books if you hope to be out before the giants arrive.
Quillax:(Not until everyone weak is evacuated, then yes :) )
Simon N. (GM):BTW the gates are 20', walls 50', giants 40'.
I've marked elevations on the map.
The gates do have battlements above them.
Quillax:"Clank, Librarian!" she shouts.
Chris T.:Mal tries to judge when they are 5 minutes away.
Quillax:"Librarian, I need all the most dangerous books in the library, we are under attack, we must get them out.!
Simon N. (GM):GM: Are Ruk & Victor going with Quillax to the library?
Rukvara:yes
Quillax:"Everyone else, with bags of holding grab any books you can, especially if you can't read the title."
Rukvara:I'm going to take the first batch of books
Victor Septimus:yeah
Quillax:"And I want you two out of here with those books, Librarian, I'm talking to you!"
Victor Septimus:Victor starts stuffing books that he doesn't undertand into his BOH
Simon N. (GM):GM: You reach the Library shaft followed by a gaggle of druids.
Victor Septimus:when we get there lol
Simon N. (GM):You yell at the Librarian, whose cogs whir with unease.
Quillax:"We have moments! Move fast!"
Rukvara:how long did it take to get down here?
Quillax:Q pauses by Librarian, "I won't lose you to their destruction. Take what we can and we are leaving. We'll take the Library back from them, I promise."
"Clank?"
Simon N. (GM):LIBRARY OF THASSILON
"Numerous glowing crystal lanterns hang on fine
chains from the domed ceiling sixty feet above,
filling this circular room with bright light. The
walls of the room are carved with more runes and
sigils, while overstuffed wood-and-leather chairs
Simon N. (GM):and polished oak tables surround a thirty-footwide
shaft in the floor."
Clank: "YES, MISTRESS?"
Quillax:"Grab whatever you can, We're evacuating."
"Rune Giants are coming."
Simon N. (GM):gm: You can grab the books in the ready-access collection, but those in the shaft can only easily be accessed by the Librarian or via Wildshape.
Quillax roll Persuasion please.

Simon N. (GM):Druids spread out to grab books from the desks and bookstands at ground level. The many thousands of books in the shaft would take far longer.
Clank nods to Quillax and turns to Librarian: "WE MUST LEAVE. IT IS IMPERATIVE."
Librarian: "MY FIRST DUTY IS TO THE LIBRARY OF THASSILON... I MUST SAFEGUARD THE COLLECTION..."
Quillax:Q jumps into wildshape and into the shaft as an air elemental. She starts grabbing anything written in Thas'n and putting it into the bag of holding.
[We'll take it with us] she whistles.
Simon N. (GM):gm: ok Quillax begins strippinng books from the shaft.
Librarian: "THIS IS ALL HIGHLY IRREGULAR..."
Victor Septimus:Victor looks over random books
Rukvara:how are the other druids doing?
Simon N. (GM):Clank reaches out to Librarian's back - and pulls out his(?) turning key. The Librarian slumps, inactive.
They are finishing up grabbing the books from the desks.
Quillax:(((ooooh, Clank!)))
Simon N. (GM):Clank gives Ruk a plaintive look. "PLEASE... HELP ME TAKE LIBRARIAN TO SAFETY."
Rukvara:Ruk will grab the Librarian
"I'm on it tin man"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Up above, Mal catches sight of the Rune Giants as they cross a ridegline, about 4 minutes from Jorgenfist.
Rukvara:"Quillax can we bring down the library wntrance as we leave?
Simon N. (GM):At Mal's gesture, Rothuun on Blackmane sees them too and 'Sends' to Quillax: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Sending#content "Rune Giants three minutes away. We need you up here Arch-Druidess."
Chris T.:"Three minutes! THREE MINUTES!"
Quillax:Q drops the bags of holding into Clank's hands and then zooms out of the shaft. She shifts the earth to cover the shaft and nods to Ruk. "Everyone out! We're bringing down the entrance!"
Simon N. (GM):He wheels Blackmane and heads back for Jorgenfist.
Quillax:"Bring it down, Ruk, I'll try to slow them."
Rukvara:Ruk is the last one out
Quillax:She zooms up as air elemental and hovers above the Fortress.
Simon N. (GM):GM: The recently repaired western exit to the library does look a bit unstable.
Chris T.:Mal lands and dismounts. "Go Thunder,I shall call when I have need!"
Quillax:And she pulls her magic towards her then shoves it out at the approaching Giants. "Storm of Vengeance" rolls out with thunders and lightning over them.
Simon N. (GM):gm: ruk you are carrying Librarian w Clank?
do you have an Earthshaker maul?
Rukvara:yep
npope,. taht was with Claw :(
another reazon i want him back >.<
can i use a greatclub?
Simon N. (GM):Quillax as earth elemental would likely have best chance to collapse the doorway then
Rukvara:regular
Simon N. (GM):your axe won't do much
Rukvara:k
Simon N. (GM):club won't do much. You can try a DC 25 Athletics check to collapse a support pillar - the debris will come down on you though...

boo!
Simon N. (GM):Quillax you head for the surface accompanied by several archer guards. Ruk can't budge the pillar.
Rukvara:a nice earthqauke will probably work :P
Quillax:(Q will try to sort that out in a moment :) )
Simon N. (GM):gm: Quillax in flying air elemental form you reach the surface just as the giants are spotted from the watchtowers. Alarm horns sound.
Victor Septimus:Victor heads to the top of tehe tower.
Rukvara:migth want to get the guards out of those towers :P
Simon N. (GM):Victor you head from the library through the caverns while Ruk struggles with the pillar... at your 30' speed Quillax far outpaces you.
Chris T.:Mal is at the top of the slope leading down into the caves.
Thunder flies high above
Simon N. (GM):ok - Mal you see Quillax emerge,
Chris T.:"We have but moments. We should lure them down into the caves and suyrround them one at a time."
Simon N. (GM):apart from the sentries on the towers, and the druids carrying books up from below, looks like all the staff are assembled in the courtyard.
Chris T.:(Using her helm to be understood.)
"EWe should get these folk below too."
Quillax:[We brought magic users to evaculate them] Q whistles
Simon N. (GM):Sheela: "Arch-Druidess Quillax! Can you use Transport via Plants to open a portal?"
Quillax:Q drops down and touches a tree
A portal opens in the green foliage
Simon N. (GM):GM: You can get around 12 people out per casting of TVP (assuming 30' move, dash 60')
Quillax:She has 90' + 30' (due to feat) move as Air Elemental
Ah, normal people yep :D
Simon N. (GM):(yes you can get 12 slow people out - nb you don't have to go yourself so can do it multiple times. You cast it twice already since LR along with 1 wind walk so that's 3 level 6+ slots used already.
Quillax:2 level 6 and 1 level 7.
But I've got a feat that allows me to use any spell once without using spell slot, so I have that as a backup.
(I'm going to need a feat that allows me to use travel spells without using up spell slots)
Simon N. (GM):Also Pathfinder Shukura is hanging out at the tree and can use Plane Shift if necessary, to Astral then back to Golarion.
GM: OK round 1 12 civilians move through the tree - back to Magnimar?
Quillax:Yep
(Don't some of my Druids have Transport via Plants? I thought at least one did)
Simon N. (GM):It's a level 6 spell. Highest druid here can do level 3!
You're lucky 3 can do Sending. :)
Quillax:(Huh, I must be mis-remembering which spell they cast. Maybe it was a sending...)
(Got to spend some time upskilling them :D )
(Between Rune Lords, perhaps :D )
Simon N. (GM):Round 2 - ca 90 seconds to contact... Q casts TVP a 2nd time
Chris T.:Mal moves a little down the slope and crouches to get thew maximum amount of cover
Simon N. (GM):12 more pass through the TVP including Dermirr & Sheela - you're sending them to Heidmarch Manor?
Victor Septimus:am i in the courtyard yet?
Rukvara:Ruk and Clank have been movuing at full speed
Quillax:Yes
Simon N. (GM):84 seconds... (@Victor nope)
Rukvara:we're ta the surface right?
Simon N. (GM):nope
Rukvara:-.-
Quillax:(run faster :D )
Simon N. (GM):Victor and a bunch of druids are in the caves below Jorgenfist heading for the up ramp. Ruk gives up trying to collapse the stairs and helps Clank carry Librarian towards the exit.
Victor Septimus:(jogging clank clank clank)
Simon N. (GM):GM: If you look on the caves map you can see Victor. Ruk is still on Library map.
Rukvara:ah, k, maps getting confusing >.<
Quillax:(Clank does clank - it made stealth difficult)
Victor Septimus:ty
Rukvara:oil his joints!
Quillax:(He's basically walking full plate - no amount of oil will make him walk softer!)
Simon N. (GM):Quillax & Mal - you have cleared the courtyard but there are still sentries in the towers.
You see Rothuun land on the north wall to pick up a sentry and fly down.
Quillax:[Mal, get Thunder to fetch them, too!]
[All who cannot evacuate or will not stay to fight to the death needs to go!]
Simon N. (GM):Rothuun: "To the courtyard! Flee, you fools!"
78 secs
Chris T.:"We must lure them into the caves! They will be on us in seconds!" Mal alreadysent Thunder away some time ago and went to take cover at the slope. Before the battle begins
Rukvara:eta on the druids getting tot he courtyard?
Quillax:[There are few more to evacuate, then we can - I've got to get someone else to learn transport spells, I could slow them]
Simon N. (GM):be a while, that's an 80' deep pit with a circulat ramp...
Ruk Clank & Librarian enter the caverns.
GM: Are Quillax & Mal waiting via the tree for the last refugees?
Chris T.:Mal is crouching near the top of the slope. She's ready to start blasting Giants when they arrive in the hope they follow her down into the caVES
Simon N. (GM):by the tree
Quillax:(We're at the trees on the far side of away from the giants?)
Simon N. (GM):Q is by the tree on the south side away from the giants yes, Mal is at the top of the pit ramp.
Chris T.:tHOSE LITTLE SIDE CAVES OFF THE SLOPE WILL GIVE US MAJOR ADVANTAGE.
Quillax:How many druids are left in the tunnels?
Chris T.:oNLY ONE gIANT AT A TIME WILL BE ABLE TO ATTACK.
Oops soz, caps lock
Quillax:(Mal is very passionate :D )
Chris T.::D
Rukvara:Lets get everyone out first shall we?
Chris T.:Weare not goingb to have time
They are about a minute away
Quillax:(Basically, I"m trying to work out if one of the other pathfinders can plane shift the rest out)
Chris T.:And we are split up.
Rukvara:....
Did you seriously suggest splitting the party
nvmm, miss read
Simon N. (GM):At 60 seconds three sentries emerge from the towers and flee towards Quillax, encouraged by Rothuun. Mal sees Victor & several druids w books have resched the ascent ramp, which winds up for about 240' along the 80' deep pit to the surface.
Chris T.:We couldn't get much more split up if we tried :)
Rukvara:are any of the pethfinders that can plane shift with the druids?
Quillax:Q orders the sentries and the pathfinger to run towards the ramp - "Take them with planshift. The druids and the sentries. As many as you can!"
(One can :) )
Simon N. (GM):GM: Mal looks like a dozen people with Victor climbing the ramp.
Quillax:So that pathfinder should be able to take the 3 sentries and 5 of the druids. The rest will have to come to Q
Chris T.:"Hurry!"
Simon N. (GM):>>are any of the pethfinders that can plane shift with the druids?<< only 1 Pathfinder can plane shift, Shukura, she has been at the tree the whole time.
Rukvara:K, if she can get to and planeshift out Clank as well that would help
and the librarian*
Quillax:Q has sent her and the guards towards the shaft to get as many out as she can.
Simon N. (GM):GM: At 36 seconds, 3 remaining wall sentries Rothuun & Blackmane reach Quillax - is she opening a TVP and sending them through?
Victor you are just 60' from top of pit now
Victor Septimus:(huff huff)
Quillax:Q will have to wait for anyone that Shukura cannot planeshift out.
Rukvara:Ruk tells Clank to let go of the Librarian and go ahead, she can hold him on her own
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK Victor you see Shukura of Osirion, an exotically garbed southern priestess, beckoning to you and the druids etc with you from the top of the shaft. "With me! I shall Plane Shift you to safety!"
GM: Victor do you want to grab Shukura & escape, or stay here for now?
Victor Septimus:Whats the party doing?
Chris T.:Stand and fight. We can do it on outr terms this time.
Simon N. (GM):The ground rumbles at the heavy tread of the approaching rune giants... 30 seconds till they reach the wall.
Rukvara:Ruk is at the back, how far down is Ruk?
Simon N. (GM):Ruk is not at the ramp yet
Quillax:Q rises up as Air Elemental and drops an earthquake under the Giant's feet for rough terrain since it's unlikely to cause them to fall over. It will buy us a few more seconds
Victor Septimus:Victor runs with Shukura to the point of the planeshift
Rukvara:...she isn't evevn at the ramp.....
Simon N. (GM):she's moving faster w/out Clank though :)
Victor Septimus:Off loading some books in his BOH as he gets there
Simon N. (GM):GM: 8 civilians grab hold of Shukura and she Plane Shifts away...
Chris T.:The caves NW of the orange UP will be our best bet in a fight?
Simon N. (GM):Victor & 4 remaining book-carriers reach Mal and the top of the ramp (24 seconds). Quillax are you really going to attack the rune giants now, or do you want to help the last book carriers escape first?
Quillax:Help escape but the E/Quake should have been quick, I thought :) But escape is priority
Simon N. (GM):>>The caves NW of the orange UP will be our best bet in a fight?<< Those are small side caves off the descent ramp, so yes rune giants would have trouble winkling you out of there I guess?
Chris T.:That was Mal's plan but no one seems keen on fighting?
Quillax:(We can fight once we get everyone else evacuated)
Rukvara:Ruk and Clank are still down the bottom....
Simon N. (GM):Q recalls that rune giants can Air Walk...
Victor Septimus:rune giants means death, how do we fight them?
Chris T.:We fight them one at a time on the ramp from the small cdaqves. Use their size against them.
Quillax:Q always reserves an emergency escape path - if it goes pear shaped, we can get out
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK 12 secs for the last stragglers to get to Q and be TVP'd out if you have a spell slot left?
Rukvara:Where is Ruk?
Quillax:Yes, I have one more
Victor Septimus:I mean it would be RUk and victor 'fighting them' you will be far away Eldlrich blasting, while we die xD
Quillax:(We have to be all together if we stay)
Chris T.:And add to your saves and heal and cast spells and get stuck in.
Simon N. (GM):GM: Quillax sends the last of them to Heidmarch manor...
Chris T.:Or we just give up and run away?
Quillax:Q noticing that Clank and Librarian didn't go thru portal goes back to see what happened
(we can escape too, if that's the group preference)
Rukvara:YES lets go together
Quillax:(or we can try to fight and if that fails, then escape)
Simon N. (GM):Ruk you are on the ramp now carrying Librarian, 2 rounds to reach surface, Clank shuffling along well behind.
Victor Septimus:Welll Victor is no match hand to hand with these things and the only thing he could do is fear, which i don't have a massive DC like you guys so they will pass. Me = dead
Chris T.:Okay, Mal will fight in the front.
Quillax:OK, first things first, go down and find Ruk and a place to hold them off and retreat to?
Simon N. (GM):Ruk keeps climbing... 80' to the surface... 6 seconds left.
Chris T.:Mal nods and sets off down the slope
Rukvara:I'm still at 2/3 hp from previous battles
Simon N. (GM):OK Mal you head down and join Ruk heading up, you see Clank clanking along some distance behind...
Victor Septimus:where is Victor?
Chris T.:"Where are you going? The Giantsare upon us!"
Simon N. (GM):Victor is on the surface near the exit
Victor Septimus:I see him now
Simon N. (GM):Quillax & Victor, you see two Rune Giants climbing over the northern wall... roll init please everyone :)

@Keelia do you have stats for Clank?
Quillax:(No, I lost my note book in one of the many moves - I might have a really old set
in dropbox so let me check)
Simon N. (GM):#24 Ruk your turn - you reach Mal, about 75' along ramp to the top of the pit but only 18' vertical if you fancy a jump? :)
Chris T.:(The first,largest of the caves has a thin wall to the south. Could Q stoneshape an escape route from there?)
Rukvara:so i'm right next to Mal?
Quillax:(I've got one from when he was level 9)
Simon N. (GM):@Ruk yes - see map
Rukvara:I've still got the libraian on my back
"so we're heading back down then..., great"
Simon N. (GM):Yup Ruk has librarian, so would make high jumps harder though you get minimum 24 athletics, as berserker no totem flight sadly.
Quillax:At level 9 -
- STR 18 - DEX 13
- CON 15 - INT 3
- WIS 8 - CHA 5
Rukvara:"Shall we just gather here and escape?"
Quillax:AC 19, Init +1, and for some reason had the ability to fly :D
Rukvara:makes mre sense to me
Simon N. (GM):Keelia you can roll for Clank if he gets in a fight, level 11 Fighter I think w Chellan Sword of Greed.
Rukvara:Gluttory*
Simon N. (GM):Oh you gave him some really crappy wings system. :)
Rukvara:Greed got stolen
Quillax:OK
Simon N. (GM):He wasn't wearing it
Rukvara:Claw gave him gluttony#
Quillax:Yes, for floating :D The mechanical wings
Simon N. (GM):I thought Q recovered Sword of Greed from Viorian Dekanti?
Rukvara:did she?
Quillax:Yes
Rukvara:ah, k
Simon N. (GM):So Clank has it again
Rukvara:right so we now want to fight these tyhings? and we're doing it down below?
Simon N. (GM):#22 Quillax your turn
Rukvara:Rukm will head back down
Simon N. (GM):(ok)
Quillax:(I think we're trying to get together, get to a safe place, and then consider our options)
Chris T.:That is my vote. Use the environment to our advantage

Simon N. (GM):OK Ruk & Mal & Quillax you assemble in the caves off the descent ramp
Victor you join them?
Rukvara:(and clank with us?)
Simon N. (GM):yup
Chris T.:(The first, largest one is ideal...)
Quillax:OK guys, I need to know, are we fighting or fleeing - because I can take us all away with plan shift right now
*plane
Simon N. (GM):Clank was still following you, he turns round and follows you down again...
Rukvara:the one with the narrowest entrance
Quillax:or we can see how we go
Rukvara:we need a choke point
Simon N. (GM):#10 Victor are you going back down w the others?
Chris T.:Mal votes fight or we may as well just tell the runelords we've shut up shop each time theyb send Giants.
Victor Septimus:Yeahcan i fly down with a steed?
Simon N. (GM):Clank greets Quillax happily. "I THOUGHT I HAD LOST YOU, MISTRESS."
Victor Septimus:im not getting left behind like last time i died to giants lol
Simon N. (GM):>>Yeahcan i fly down with a steed?<< Yes if you can summon a steed that's fine
Victor Septimus:I summon a pegasus
Rukvara:Ruk stands at the opening to the cave that we are making our stand in
weapon drawn
Chris T.:Mal beside her
Simon N. (GM):GM: I've put you at the first cave as it's big enough for everyone to get away from the entrance, rem giants have 20' reach w their swords
Quillax:"I wouldn't leave you behind," Q smiles at Clank.
"Everyone a bit further in," Q suggests. "I'm going to make this a big narrower."
Simon N. (GM):Above you you hear jubilant roars and crashes as the Rune Giants start tearing up the undefended upper works.
Chris T.:Up close does itseem that only one Giant at a time can attack into that cave?
Simon N. (GM):Yes, the entry is only wide enogh for one of them
the little white squares are 5' and giants need 20'.
Chris T.:and Q can stone shape the south wallif we need to escape?
Quillax:(Q wants Clank and Librarian a bit futher back out of the way and safe. She didn't take loads of damage over the games to have him smashed to bits now!)
Victor Septimus:Victor sends the pegasus down the caves to safety
Quillax:(Yes, Q can stone shift a path if necessary.)
Simon N. (GM):(ok) Some rubble falls into the pit as the giants smash up the Great Hall and the Hall of the Bear.
Quillax:(Assuming she lives - we all know Giants are her weakness.)
Simon N. (GM):OOC I need to stop at 6pm for today, next game 4pm next Saturday.
Rukvara:k
Chris T.:cool
Simon N. (GM):You hear a giant roar in Thassilonian: "LORD KARZOUG SENDS HIS REGARDS!"
Quillax:"He can stuff his regards," Q mutters to herself.
"You want them down here?"
Chris T.:and Mal shouts this at the top of her lungs hoping the Giants hear
Rukvara:Ruk yells up in Giant:
Victor Septimus:"I wonder if a Rune giant can feel fear... lets find out"
Simon N. (GM):Mal roll Intimidate pls
Chris T.:"Let'sprove to ourselves that we can beat these things once and for all."

Rukvara:"Tell him we accept his regards and stick them so far up his arse so he'll be tasting them for a week!"
Chris T.::D
Rukvara:k, that could have been better >.>
Quillax:Q laughs
Simon N. (GM):The giants hear Mal's challenge, and roar back. "DOWN THERE! A MOUSE THAT DARES ROAR!"
Rukvara:its fun to insult people in their navtive languages ^^
Chris T.::)
Simon N. (GM):The giants begin their descent.... ok stopping there for tonight.
Rukvara:cool, thanks for the game :)
Victor Septimus:Cheers
Chris T.:Thanks forthe game guys :)
Quillax:Great game everyone :) and Thanks Simon :)
Chris T.:We could do with working out some tactics during the week?
See how best we can combine as a fighting force?
Quillax:Q's nearly out of magic and is reserving what's left of the high level for emergency escape, so tactics will be very good to organise :)
Chris T.:cool, I'llpost some thoughts on the messanger page
Stay safe all!
Quillax:Have a great rest of the weekend!
Rukvara:Uo
