Girble jogs his mount forward. Long years of practice serve him well as he easily accounts for the horse's motions in his spellcasting. A hundred feet up the trail, the rocks on either side suddenly seem to stretch and grow, forming a seamless wall blocking the way. Girble points past the running ogre, "Well, that wall should definitely slow him down for a bit, Lucas. Have fun with that."[SBLOCK=Girble's Numbers]The Concentration check is only DC 15, and Girble has a +15 modifier. No roll necessary. The wall is 15 feet wide and just over 15 feet tall.[/SBLOCK]The fleeing fathach pulls up short, just stopping himself against the wall with his hands. He looks about in confusion for a moment, then leaps up and grabs the top of the wall with his huge, gnarled hands. He begins trying to scramble over the top.
As he struggles, Lucas speaks spidery words of magic, with a languid flick of his wrist he sends five glowing bolts of energy after the Ogre, and watches in satisfaction as they home in on their target and slam into it's back. "Going for reinforcement eh, well not if I can help it," he says. The fathach roars in rage and pain, but doesn't release his grip on the wall.[SBLOCK=Lucas' Numbers]Again no need to roll Concentration for riding and casting at the same time. Damage on the magic missile: only 14 points.[/SBLOCK]
Sirius growls at the scratch in his armor, "Ye'll pay fer tha'!" Prepping himself high in the saddle as best he could, he hefted his shield and axe, the reigns wrapped loosely in one hand, he urges his mount pounding down upon the nearest fathach. He pulls back and hews the larger giant with a mighty swing as it fumbles for the club lying at its feet.[SBLOCK=Sirus' Numbers]Attack roll 8+12 = 20, a hit (but only just!). Damage roll 3+13 = 16.[/SBLOCK]The creature staggers a moment but quickly recovers. It roars and shakes in a furious rage. But its immense club swings wild and succeeds only in smashing a chunk from a nearby boulder, sending rock chips and the smell of pulverized stone into the air.
The other fathach gets its weapon as well, but has no better luck hitting the doughty dwarf warrior.
Ery runs up just in time to join Viktor and Girble at the edge of the melee. Viktor dismounts and draws his blade.
OOC: Busy round. Ery (on foot), Viktor (dismounted) and Girble (still mounted?) are just outside the ogres' reach. Lucas, I assume, is about 10 feet behind them, staying out of melee range but with all three giants within easy casting range.
One ogre is a single full-round action from getting over the wall. The other two are engaged in melee with Sirius. Note that one of these (the one Sirius hit) is noticably bigger and badder than the other two. Actions?
