[Kobold Stew]

The Colonel is proud of young Donnel, and the immense growth that he has shown. It's like he is his own person in this fight, for the first time since he became the Colonel's ward. The Colonel looks up to the sky and thanks the lightning, and a peal of thunder is heard in the distance.

OOC: Round 2. Ack! Kharu's out of Bless Range. Sorry! Bless spell: Donnell and Gimlak and the Colonel each get Blessed -- add 1d4 to your rolls to hit, @Steve Gorak @TaranTheWanderer as long as I hold concentration. [[If Doc takes a turn, I am happy for him to be blessed instead of the Colonel @Snarf Zagyg , if that's okay with Fitz.]] Move to BA 19. Concentrating on Bless (1/10).

 

[Tonguez]

Kahru the Storm-Bear felt the charge of the thunder across his shoulders as he settled on the ground and turned his attention to the armored giant still holding the leash of the she-wolf.

Despite the strike of the sacred fire, the giant still held tight to the chain, and the Barbarian could not abide that circumstance any longer. With a gutteral growl he commanded the dire wolf to turn about and attack the giant, simultaneously swinging the whip to strike the giants hand - it might not do much damage but perhaps it would be shock enough for the giant to release its grip on the chain while the wolf ripped into its former tormentors flesh.

“Now it is my time” Waythe exclaimed into the midst of the attack “release me now!”

OOC: Assuming this is a disarm attempt: 1D20+8 = [8]+8 = 16 Also does the Dire Wolf get advantage due to pack tactics

 

[Steve Gorak]

Gimlak shifts his attention to the ogre trying to get to the top of the roof. He silently floats towards it, attacks it mind and tries to telekinetically push it.

OOC: move to au19 Action: cast mind sliver onto ogre, int save dc 17 or 5 psychic damage and -3 to next save Bonus action: telekinetic shove 5ft back (to make it fall), str save dc 16 at -3 because of mind sliver

Spoiler: Donnell - Mini-sheet

Donnell Race: Human HP: 36/36 AC: 17/19 w shield

Pass Perc: 14 Pass Inv: 10 Pass Ins: 18 Initiative: +2

Action Surge: 0/1 Second Wind 1/1 arrows: 17

Donnell, sees the young giant retreating to get help but decides there's nothing he can do to stop it. Instead, bringing down the biggest threat before reinforcements arrive seems like the best tactic. He pops up from cover andfires another arrow at the brute.

He keeps a close eye on the young giant scaling the wall, hoping Gimlak can deal with it. To be safe, he scurries up the next rooftop and over the peak to break line of sight to both the Hill Giant and the youngling climbing the wall.

---

OOC: Attacking Hill Giant from Hiding Sneak attack and damage: 2D20.HIGH(1)+2 = [12, 13]+2 5 = 15 18+3(bless)=AC 21 Damage: 2D6+2 = [5, 2]+2 = 9 Edited because I forgot to add proficiency to the attack roll. Edit 2: Bless: 1D4 = [3] = 3 Assuming no penalties to movement, Move to BF 19 then hide Sneak to hide: 1D20+8 = [9]+8 = 17

 

[Steve Gorak]

OOC: Bump!

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

While Donnel was fully aware of the dangers of the situation, the training he'd received from the Colonel also instilled in him a confidence in his abilities. Maybe that's what he was lacking all along...

The Colonel prayed for the group's success as Kahru attempted to disarm the armored giant. Though the whip snapped at the giant's hand, he pulled the chain, and the young wolf (who was about to bite him) yipped as she was yanked off her feet. The giant lunged forward, swinging a big sword at the northman, slashing it across his shoulder as Waythe raged in his mind.

Gimlak floated toward the young ogre as the ugly youth crested the edge of the roof. The dwarf attacked the ogre's mind, and the youth fell to the ground with a loud thump. The ogress, who was struggling with her own young dire wolf, pulled the wolf along toward Kahru, while she flung a javelin up at those on the roof. It harmlessly flew past Gimlak's shoulder.

Donnell shot an arrow into the giant, who barely seemed to notice it, before ducking over the roof and laying low in the thatch. Doc was still struggling to focus, his head lost in some unpleasantness. He tried to shake it off, moving toward the edge of the roof where he could bring his guns to bear down on the giant, but he stumbled and had to hold his ground lest he fall from the roof.

The other young ogre reached the kitchen door, but it seemed that it was barred from the other side. The youth banged on the door yelling (in the giant tongue), :ey're here! We're being attack'd!::

OOC: Colonel blessed; Donnell did did 9 to AHG; Kahru failed to Disarm; AHG did 22 to Kahru; YDW2 missed; Gimlak did 5 psychic (& 4 falling) damage to YO2.

The Colonel doesn't mind the young ogre summoning more. With their position, they're in good shape, and the Skyfather is with them in the open air. Besides, from where they are, retreat is always possible if they are overwhelmed. So no worries there.

He catches himself -- he'd said Skyfather to himself, as if he were still a novitiate. Why had that come out? No matter. There were other things to worry about.

Donnell is performing well, and it's nice to see him on his own. Doc seemed comatose. "What's up, Doc?" he calls over his shoulder, the words sticking in his throat like a chewed carrot.

The colonel positions himself over the double doors of the building on which he stands, and again calls ghostly flames to harrass the Hill Giant.

OOC: Move to BA 26. Sacred Flame vs. Armored Hill Giant: DC18 dex or 3d8=11 radiant 60'. (includes amulet). Still concentrating: Remember if you are Blessed!
