[Recap]
From Raddok: [Re: Actions]
Apris 10, ~ 2:26 p.m.
Raddok has had too much, & not nearly enough, time....
GM: Ack.
From Mournath: [Re: Action]
Mournath will keep firing his bow while the giant is at
range, then swap to spear and shield when the giant makes
contact with the ship. Again, using the items around him
to gain cover where appropriate.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Apris 10th, 1636TH]
[Time: 2:26:13 pm]
[Turn 2: Phase 1]
Arawn builds energy for another spell.
Z'leyra also in her trance builds the first steps of her
spell to end the whole situation.
Corona dives and sweeps down to attack the giant once
again but this time his blasts go wild and he misses.
Fremea from behind the giant fires right at his back
hitting doing 2 points of fire damage on the tough hide.
Mournath fires and hits the giant's chest but his tough
hide just makes the arrow bounce off into the ocean.
Pyan fires again his own bow but the arrow also bounces
off his chest into the ocean.
Arawn casts a energy shield upon himself. Mae can feel
the hairs on her arm prickle at the static discharge from
the shimmering energy gray shield.
Kiet grits his teeth just out of range the giant is now.
The giant rushes forward and ends up only 4 feet from
the ship. With his left hand he reaches out and grabs
Finn off the deck and quickly places him inside the net
on his left hip. To ensure Finn can't escape the bashes
the human squarely with his fist by knocking his
breath out. With his right hand the giant roars and
picks a random targets and selects Z'leyra. The trident
shoots out straight for her. Being in a trance and
not prepared the hit is solid on her left side. She
screams in pain as she takes 31 points of damage. She
is thrown 5 feet backwards away from her current position
bleeding out.
Zol Zim is loyal to Ix but when he sees Z'leyra stabs
and probably killed he leaps forward and runs for the
giant.
Z'leyra on her back watches the sky drift by. What
the heck just happened. Her drum and staff seem to be
missing somewhere. Did she drop them? She then feels
the pain and glances down at the huge hole in her chest.
That's not good. Not good at all. She tries to breath
but the breath is just not there. At least she can
spot Corona flying high and proud.
Unali with the gear hooked to her belt and shoulder rushes
for the giant. She uses the anchor rope as a way to
gain balance and leaps at the giant. She lands on his
left arm. With a half second before the giant react she
jumps up to his left shoulder and stabs the giant in the
neck. She strikes with both her magical daggers. The
first one hits doing 10 points. The second one she
activates her Power Strike enhanced ability on the
dagger and does 10 points of damage with her blade and
25 with the power strike. The giant roars in anger.
Arawn sees Z'leyra hit. She seems to be moving still
but looks almost dead. He was going to cast a new spell
but Z'leyra may need help before then. Arawn moves
quickly toward Z'leyra
Mae watches as Arawn runs toward the nasty giant and
wonders if the elves are all mad.
Mournath drops his bow and grabs his spear ready to
strike as soon as he can.
Raddok has had too much, & not nearly enough, time to plan
what he might do that would have any effectiveness against
such a gigantic creature. Why, he thinks, if it gets much
closer, just falling forward could cause it to be able to
strike the ship! Or cause a crashing wave, which might be
almost as dangerous, as close as he & the other ship members
are getting to the stern rails. How long are it's arms? If he
falls forward with his arms outreaching he could grab the ship
nearly any moment! Raddok resolutely prepares for the worst &
tries to banish that thought away.
He feels no special coordination with the other fighters &
feels that Arawn must have cast his war-enhancement spell at
those who are at the moment the most useful, that is, the mages
and the flyers (especially those that might be both), and Raddok
prays to any god listening that Arawn's spell has been
effective. He is glad that reinforcements have arrived at the
stern rails & that the seamen seem as eager to fight as
everyone else, and can aid in protecting the wheelman.
At the giant gets closer, Raddok he himself cannot damage
the giant very much, although he can contribute to damage
already done - but he has now reconsidered his strategy (which
had been only to attack as best he could). Now he feels that
Mournath & Z'leyra, now just to his right, might need his
shield more than his mace in order to continue their plans, and
he moves in front of them to protect them as best he can,
shield raised and ready on his left arm, with mace held in his
right, but ready to reinforce his hold on the shield if needed.
Unless someone orders him otherwise, he's as ready as he
can be, and he's listening for advice from those now behind
him.
Raddok sees Z'leyra fall and rushes to her side. He
stands over her. If the giant tries to try to attack
her again he'll use his shield to at least protect her.
Brutto and Zepp both attack the giant's arm before it
moves away but his arm is so massive it moves up too
high and they miss their attacks.
Dorhak charges the giant as it stands at the railing.
He is wondering why the mad woman with the daggers
Unali is on the thing! He swings his mace but the ship
and the giant are bobbing back and forth too much and he
misses.
Barbosa however does hit the giant in the chest doing
4 more points with his mace at the damaged creature.
[Apris 10th, 1636TH]
[Time: 2:26:16 pm]
[Turn 2: Phase 2]
Kiet yells to Unali to be aware and raises his fists
and shoots two of his rings right at the giant at point
blank range. The first hit does 34 points of fire damage
and the second does 35 points of damage. The first
ring is enough to kill him. The giant roars in pain as his
tunic and body explodes in flame.
The giant begins to teeter toward the front right and hits
the railing at that section of ship and begins to slide
down the side of the ship. Part of that railing is destroyed
by the sheer weight.
Unali hearing Kiet's warning and seeing flames erupt all
around her places both daggers in her belt and pulls
the grappling hook she grabbed from the locker. She places
it deep inside the tough hide color of the tunic of the
giant and jumps left.
As the giant is falling she slams with the help of the
rope attached to hook into the giant's left hip taking
a couple points of damage. But the damage doesn't
stop her. She rappels over to the net on the giant's
hip and grabs for it just as the giant hits the water
on his right side.
Unali holds her breath as water slams all around her. As she
grapples for the net to open it the giant slowly sinks
below the waves.
Unali is now 20 feet below the wave and she opens the
net to grab the unconscious Finn. She being a skilled
swimmer releases the rope of the hook and jets up to
the surface of the water tying to carry Finn with her.
Brutto, Zepp, Barbosa and Dorhak yell and lower
ropes.
Fremea dives with her bow now on her back and helps
keep Finn above the water as she hovers. Barbosa
then rappels down the rope being probably the strongest
of the humans and Unali places Finn around his back.
With help from Fremea holding Finn to his back the
others pull the two up.
At the same time Z'leyra watches as Corona dives toward
her. That's nice she thinks. But she still can't seem
to breath. Then she notices that pointy eared Druid over
her. Blocking her view of the beautiful white eagle. She
frowns and sees blackness.
As Arawn bends over Z'leyra he realizes the damage is
immense. Probably a hole in her lung. But then he
notices a odd thing. The energy shield seems to have
stopped the bleeding? Is that an effect of the
shield or her heart stopping?
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Friday/Saturday...
GM: Ok. This is bad. :< There are 14 random targets
the giant could've rolled. With #1 being top of
the roster and so forth. I sadly rolled for Finn
and for Z'leyra. First for his net attack with his
hand on Finn (if it was his trident Finn would've been
dead by now). Then for the trident and it was bad
for Z. Only thing that saved her is being a pc. :)
Sorry Alex! Was purely random! Don't kill me!
At least the giant is dead now. So that's a bit of
a good thing eh? I'll get with Arawn on how he plans
to help Z'leyra as this could be a fatal mission now
for her. I can do next update either Friday or
Saturday. I hope we don't lose Finn and Z as Finn
is still in danger himself.
A note on the Unali/Hook thing. I actually had this
whole scene planned. I was going to attack do damage
then rappels using the hook down his back. Then do
more damage as the giant would react and try to
squash Unali. Thus the hook thing. So that WAS
planned. But this actually works out as Unali can save
Finn. If there had been no hook and no rappels Finn
might've been lost under the waves. So it worked
out but I was planning on this whole swashbuckling
style acrobatics. :) Since Unali is a acrobat as well
she has the skills do what she did.
All this in 20 seconds of time or so. Wow. :<
