Game Update #318a in sequence (file #520)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin notes: None
----------------------------Recap--------------------------------
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Z'leyra will shoot arrows while levitating up and around the
giant (think barber pole). Hopefully it won't result in being
caught in an area of affect spell like fireball. It will take
a few rounds to get above it, but she should be able to get
behind it fairly quickly.
GM: Ack.
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
OOC: Thanks for the luck spell earlier Jordi!
Actions: Ben'Dar swivels around the loaded ballista to fire
point blank at the giant. He uses whatever magic luck is still
on him to hit as much as possible with the ballista shot.
If the giant somehow survives the ballista this phase, Ben'Dar
will grab his pike and charge the giant the next phase.
GM: Ack. Point blank to a giant is like trying to hit a mountain
so shouldn't be that hard :)
From Jordi: [Re: Actions]
Jordi throws his spear to the Giant, then draws his sword, and
attacks it as soon as it is at melee range of the ship.
PS: I have been some days out of reach.
GM: Ack. Does that PS mean your going to be gone for a few days
due to holiday or such? That's fine.
-------------------------Update------------------------------
Turn 1: Phase 4
[Mana Allocation]
[Caladan Allocates Mana]
[Missile Fire]
[Thig fires again his repeating cross. It hits but
bounces off the hard skin and doesn't penetrate]
[Neva raises her bow up this time at point blank and aims
at the Giant's left eye which by now is huge up close.
She fires and hits doing a massive 12 points of damage.
The eye bursts as the liquid in the ey explodes outward
and flies toward the ship and all over various people.
The giant screams in pain...]
[Trembyl aims his loaded Arbalest at the Giant and fires
and hits doing 8 points as the bolt impales the right
shoulder.]
[Ben'dar and the others turn the weapon around while the
other 2 helpers move out of the way. Ben'dar doesn't
even have to aim since the beast is so close. HE
just aims at the chest and releases the tight pulley
latch and the springs release their energy. All 12
easilly hit 4 Hits bounce off, 5 hit for a total of
7 points and 3 deadly hits do 37 points past the body
armor for a total of 44 points!]
[Seeing as the beast only had 4 points left out of 120
total this puts him at a massive negative -40 being
32 over his DTV this clearly kills him before he can
react. Unfournately the giant is too slow agility wise
to move last so did not get even one attack in. :<]
[The giant's chest is riddled with arrows and burnt flesh
and the liquid from his eye drips down his chin..he
begins to sway as his dead body takes over his muscles..
Damon quickly yells for everyone to move to starboard
side away from that edge...He begins to sway and his
magic ends and he starts to slowly sink into the water.
Those who have moved this phase or done actions find
themselves starting at a 20 foot hulk over them swaying
their way. Then suddenly it comes toward them. Everyone
hits the deck or covers their head. But at the last
second the giant falls forward and to the left. Then
a loud BAM is heard as the giant hits the left forward
side of the ship with his right shoulder, armo and head.
Wood cracks, crates in that area explode or fall to the
water. The ship litterally lists to the port side under
the heavy weight of the giant. Then his weight causes
the ship to list even more to its side. Damon orders
everyone to use their weight to the other side that can
and he orders the rear anchor dropped immediately to
balance the weight. Just as its done the waves crash
onto the ship and causes the giant to roll off. The
reaction to the ship is to lurch up as if hitting a large
wave which throws many to their knees or fall completely.
The wood goans and then the ship settles down. Many
run to the side to see the giant submerge under the
waves. Thig, Z'leyra, Kaylle, the Eagle all see this
from their hovering. Triest who was on the rigging itself
dropped his crossbow but was just able to grab ropes before
falling to the deck.
Damon quickly assess the ship and orders the below deck
to be checked for leaks but knows the hold is near that
area and theres alot of loot to be moved before leaks can
be checked.
Jordi checks those around or wounds but finds mostly wounded
or bruised no serious wounds.
Farseeker quickly does a head count determines theres 2
people missing.
Before he can tell the othes this Thig yells out "two
overboard!"
Many rush to the side and then discover in the water
Unali and Diplomat Trom Zenakhis. There is blood on the
head of Trom but Unali looks ok.
Caladan throws his staff and weapons to the deck then
climbs over the railing and dives into the water.
Damon inspects the ships damage.
Unali is in good shape and swims toward Trom to help
Caladan hold him up. Trom seems unconscious. Caladan
waves toward Z'leyra and she lowers. A foot from the
churning waves Z'leyra grabs trom and then levitates
over to the deck and helps him down. Ropes are lowered
to the other two in the water and they are able to climb.
Z'leyra finds the spell keeps her from touching the deck
for about 30 seconds. Jordi inspects Trom and finds a
head wound either from the giant impacting on him or
something else. Jordi quickly stops the bleeding and
inspects the body for other wounds.
Being a fomorian Trom could've swam easilly but he
was knocked out and almost under the water.
Damon reports "No big damage topside. The wood will
hold but we did crack about 9 critical timbers. I
hope we don't encounter any more storms or it could be
more critical."
Aren: "We lost six crates. Four had fruit, one with
water and one with today's meat. We do have more in
hte hold but we may have to ration some instead of
the large portions we've been using."
[Caladan has to let a fire dart up to the sky to release
his built up magic.]
--------------------------------------------------------
[45 minutes later after the crates are moved in the hold
the wood is inspected. Four more timbers are found
severely cracked but holding. Three cracks were severe
enough that needed patching up immediately as they were
leaking. Damon reports it should hold but we may have
to do maintenance on it till we reach port.]
--------------------------------------------------------
[The next afternoon that storm previously reported in
voyage timeline update hits. Though normally would've
been a light damag to the ship this with the other damage
causes a timber below deck to explode outward during
the storm. Damon orders it to be patched as best it
can. When the ship exits the storm water is in the
hold. Luckilly its not dispersed enough to both
the sleeping Cholan. But some gear is wet but not damaged
pernmanetly. A tarp is put up with patchwork to cover
the hole as best as it can be. Two people till the end
of the cruise is stationed there to bucket out water as
it collects. This continues for almost 48 hours. By
day 33 that night the ship meets the 2 marentian merchant
ships. Supplies are exchanged and greetings. The
merchant happened to have some timbers and they are
hammered into place belowdeck. The three ships then
seperate and the voyage continues.
Two more days then the diplomat spots the large serpent
in Lake Sivas.
Consult the previous update # 315 file #517 for the full
previously posted timeline on the event.]
