Re: Dorn's Deep
Carthom makes only spare attempts at small talk as he leads Ug and Nancy back out of the throne room. Whatever hint Maralie had been trying to give about a secret entrance to the kitchen set into the dais, this fire giant guard is either unaware of it or wants to keep a close eye on the slaves.

They take the long way to the kitchen, passing once more past lakes of lava and other giants hard at work. Eventually Carthom drops them off at a building stained with soot. "I hope this runt cooks better than he fights. He looks like he's been trampled by a herd of hillfolk. Hop to it now, lots of hungry mouths to feed!" His stomps rattle the metal floor as he leaves the pair.

The inside of the kitchen is much cleaner - a sign that Nancy does indeed spend most of her time here. Ug and Nancy seem to be alone here.

Re: Dorn's Deep
As soon as the giants are gone, Nancy rushes to Ug and hugs one of his beefy legs. "You're actually here! My boy!"

She pulls back, straightening her dress again and wiping her eyes. She stares up at Ug with a discerning look that only mothers can manage. "You are too skinny! Who has been taking care of you? Have you been brushing your teeth?"

She looks up into his face and sees something in his eyes. She gasps. "Ugnacious Beauregard Quarterslicer! What have you done?!" She blinks, remembering where they are and lowers her voice. "Nevermind, you tell me later. We need to get out of here; this is no place for a boy like you. Do you and your friends have a plan?"

Chuckling to himself Vincent continues, "That's when she said, 'Those aren't your socks on my feet!'. Ahahahhhhahhahhh! Pretty good joke, huh, Ug?" Oh, by the way, now that we are here I need a rest before I free the two of you." Finding a nice chair in the corner by the ovens, Vincent sits down and tries to keep the smacking of him eating his sandwich quiet.

Re: Dorn's Deep
For but a moment the dwarf freezes in his tracks, having grown up in the wilderness he had learned from a young age to fear the remorhaz. Primordial fear surges through the rugged sorcerer, but his sense of survival drives him to action. Hurrying to the massive doors the champion once more utters the ancient words, hastily, to open the door.

"Through the door, yeh filthy beast."

Erevain narrowly ducks away from an errant arrow. "We are happy to see you, Zenithral. But perhaps we missed your magical bow more..."

The elf warrior stays close to Alalla, falling into a sword form millennia old. He glows with protective magic even as he lashes out with his sword, scoring a solid hit against the thing's side.
OOC:
Erevain casts Blade Ward and attacks as a bonus action, dealing 14 magical slashing damage to the Remorhaz.

Re: Dorn's Deep
Ras cringes as an arrow slices through his arm, but is stunned when he feels no pain and sees no damage. A quick glance at Zen tells him all he needs to know.

Turning his attention back to the creature, Ras raises his hands and attempts to use Lightning Bolt to help herd the beast toward the door.

Lightning Bolt does 29 damage.

Re: Dorn's Deep
The remorhaz skitters forward with surprising speed. Arrows bounce off of its chitinous hide, and those companions who come close enough to strike it with swords find their own hands blistered from the sheer heat emanating from the creature.
OOC:
After resistance Alalla and Erevain each take 8 fire damage.
Reòthadh once more works open the great stone door of Dorn's Deep, and companions try to usher the great beast through. It seems to have other ideas, however. With so many tasty morsels nearby It will take much more to force the remorhaz to do anything it does not wish to.

A sparking lightning bolt from Ras slams into the creature, and it snarls and whips about in a frenzy, gaping maw coming down on one of its closer foes. Erevain's defensive magic is the only thing that prevents him from being bitten in half by the razor sharp jaws, but even still the remorhaz lifts the elf up high into the air and begins to constrict its throat, trying to swallow him whole.
OOC:
Between Blade Ward and Absorb Elements, Erevain only takes 22 damage. He's only got 20 hp left, however. He is also grappled and restrained, and will likely be swallowed on the next turn.
And then the second remorhaz arrives with its own earsitting trumpet of a roar. A pair looking for a place to mate, these two terrible predators will not rest until their new nest is empty of vermin.

Re: Dorn's Deep
Round 2 Player Phase!!
OOC:
You've learned that these things are immune to fire, hitting them within 5 feet of them results in the attacker taking fire damage, and they do a crapton of damage with their bite, which also grappled and restrains the target. This round you might also learn that a grappled creature can also be swallowed... which is not good even for a hero with lots of hp left.

You can move them through the door, but it will take some doing!

Vincent finishes his sandwich and rest with no trouble at all. Though his invisibility spell wears off well before he's done, the only interruption is when Maralie appears. The gnome girl stays close to Nancy and Ug, appearing shaken from the recent events.

Vincent just feels his magical powers return when Carthom's voice bellows from outside. "Well? How's the food coming? If that runt is too slow in making food, we've got other jobs for him to do!"

If not given some sort of reasonable answer, the giant is likely to become suspicious.

"Hush now you!"Nancy waves a dishcloth at the giant. "We've barely had a chance for the kitchen tour! You smell that? That's your supper boiling away while you gab on and on and on."

She pushes Ug over to a counter. "Boy, use those scrawny arms of yours to chop some more carrots. Smaller this time. We don't all have teeth like rocks."

As the giant predator attemps to eat Erevain, Reòthadh tries to assist his friend the best way he knows how, by increasing size. Hoping that the elf is not consumed quickly before the spell is able to take hold.
OOC:
Reòthadh casts enlarge and twins it to affect Allala and Erevain.

Re: Dorn's Deep
Alalla steps back as the remorazh's heat scorched her. She sheathes her sword and calls her glaive to her hand. She curses as she watches Erevain being lifted into the air. "Hey! Over here!" It's hard to land a decent blow through those plates, but she manages one while keeping the monster at length. "This way, you beasts!" She runs towards the open door, hoping that Reothadh's magic will take effect in time to help her husband.

R1 takes 10 slashing damage.

Re: Dorn's Deep
The second remorhaz bears down on the group and snaps at a likely target, but Zenithral ducks just out of the way of the thing's jaws. It continues forward to meet its mate, rearing up against any party member who comes too close.

The first remorhaz drops Erevain to the ground as his form starts to grow, and then lashes out at Reòthadh - but ends up trampling up against the other monster, crushing several of its mate's chitinous legs.
OOC:
Remorhaz 2 takes 37 damage.
Alalla's glaive darts in to slash at the creature and then she slips back through the open doorway, trying to lead it through. It whirls incredibly fast on the warrior and its maw cracks shut just inches from her face as it scuttles in pursuit.

As the remorhaz passes through the doorway after Alalla a deep cry of alarm sounds from down the tunnel as one of the fire giant guards sees the battle taking place. He rushes forward with weapon raised, determined to drive the remorhaz out.

Reòthadh's enlarge spell takes full effect, and both Erevain and Alalla become the size of ogres.

Re: Dorn's Deep
Round 3 Player Phase!!!
OOC:
Remorhaz 1 is currently through the dooryway. Remorhaz 2 is in the middle of the majority of the party, and the fire giant is through the door and in the tunnel, approaching from the rest of Dorn's Deep. That puts Al between R1 and the giant.

Al and Erevain are both large-sized.

Ras goes to the closest part of the beast (not the head) and whispers some angry words. Poison sprays from his fingers.

R1 takes 19 damage

As soon as Erevain falls to the ground, Ras rushes to him and checks his wounds.

Re: Dorn's Deep
Alalla runs around the remorhaz so that it is now between her and the giant. With a shout, she kicks the creature in the face. It sprawls backwards. She ignores the burning in her leg and uses the butt of her glaive to knock it even closer to the giant.

Hoping she has suitably distracted both of them, Al runs back to her friends. She shoots Erevain a wink over the heads of the party and clotheslines the second remorhaz with her glaive.

Al shoves R1 once within 5 feet and takes fire damage from that, and once from the reach of her glaive. R1 moves 10 feet closer to the fire giant. She shoves R2 from the reach of her glaive and moves it 5 feet towards the door.

Re: Dorn's Deep
Erevain gasps as healing from Ras' staff floods through him, and he rises bolstered by Reòthadh's enlarge spell. He sees Alalla attempting to shove the great monsters through the door, and prepares himself to join in. He sheathes his sword and hunkers behind his shield, which has also swelled in size, and rushes forward to wedge it underneath several of the remorhaz's legs and lifts, tipping a section of the creature's length and shoving it a good distance towards the entrance to Dorn's Deep.

Having finished his rest, Vincent approaches Ug and Nancy. "Ok, I have a plan to get us all out of here alive. All I need is your clothes Nancy and Ug. Please get naked."

Vincent then fills up a large bowl with water. Adding in a few very large rough chunks of meat, and some chopped up cabbage, he casts prestidigitation a few times and looks over at his friends.

"Well? Hurry up then!"
