Chapter 2, Day 11

Aug 31, 2016 11:41 am
Under cover of the night, you push the boats closer to the main building. Xara moves silent along behind the one boat, greatful for Pawetha's rope - which she is pretty sure is the only reason she isn't drowning. Kai pulls some scraps of lizard folk clothing over himself to conceal his armour, and Ghunril does his best to keep a small profile, but otherwise relies on his lizard-like appearance for cover.

You arrive within sight of the town hall without trouble. The sentries atop the bell tower don't pay any attention to you or raise an alarm. The town hall is now fifty feet from you. A ten foot wide wooden platform has been built into the side of it to allow boats to pull up to the side of the building. Around the front, which you can barely see, a pair of staircases lead up to an entrance into the town hall from the wood platform. A small bridge has also been built connecting the townhall to a small building, only one floor of which rises above the water surface. Those with dark vision see a worrying sight - two large humanoids are standing on either side of the staircase. Each, about the size of a small giant, has two heads (If you have a +2 or better in Nature you recognize them as Ettins).
Aug 31, 2016 3:42 pm
Pawetha recognizes the ettins, and recalls the advice gleaned from her time in the Treeguard.

Seeing the two headed monstrosities, Zaris grimaces and looks back at his comrades. He lifts his finger and points it at the ettin on the right. "You're needed in the back," he communicates with the creature hoping to fool it into thinking it actually heard it aloud.
OOC:
Casting Message. Only the one ettin hears the message and, if it responds, only I can hear the answer.

OOC:
Zaris, roll deception

Pawetha recalls that Ettins are two headed, stronger than Giants and dumber than bricks.

The one Ettin suddenly turns, and stomps its way up the stairs and into the bundling.
Sep 1, 2016 8:40 pm
Ghunril takes out one flask of poison and coats 3 of his darts with the oily solution. As he looks up and sees one of them turn and walk inside the building his nods to the rest of the group to indicate his readiness to attack the Ettin.
Sep 1, 2016 11:10 pm
I wring out my clothes carefully as I watch my party staring off into the distance. "What's going on? Are they coming for us?"
Sep 1, 2016 11:14 pm
Pawetha whispers, "We've got an ettin guarding the entrance, plus one more further in. Big and stupid, but they make up for it in pure strength. Should we kill it, or bluff our way past?"
Sep 2, 2016 1:37 am
I'm thankful for the boat ride to be over. Still with sword drawn and shield at the ready, I glower at Paws. "The time for talk has ended."
Sep 2, 2016 7:47 am
You move the boats closer to the wood platform. As you do so, the lone Ettin looks over, shrugs, and goes back to standing where he is picking one of his noses.
OOC:
Let the combat begin! Player turn is first - the Ettin is not 'surprised' as it will notice you are not lizards as you approach
Sep 2, 2016 9:43 am
I whisper to Xara, "Take the flank. It's attention will be on us." I stay in the front of the group as we approach the ettin. Once the ettin realizes we aren't lizards, I will charge, unleashing a vow to fell the evil creature as I swing my blade.
OOC:
Using Channel Divinity: Vow of Enmity for everyone to have advantage for 1 min on ettin.

Pawetha disembarks and remains near the boat, both for stability on the dock and to keep her distance from the gigantic ettin. "You're mine," she whispers as she draws her bow, releasing an arrow to support the charging paladin.

Zaris pulls his cross bow out and loads a bolt in unison with Paws. "Hopefully we both hit and this thing has no idea what hit it," he thinks to himself letting the bolt fly.

"I'm on it!" With the rapier in one hand and a dagger in the other, I charge towards the Ettin, screaming a bloody-curdling war cry as I do.

OOC:
Xara, you have advantage and also get sneak attack damage because of Kaiakas' vow of enmity. Ghunril is left to go.

I throw a dart at the Ettin and rush in with Kaiakas letting out a draconic roar trying to confuse the Ettin.

You charge the ettin, unleashing blade and fury at it and before it can even respond you are atop it. Arrows sink into its flesh, a rapier finds the shortest path to vital organs, a magic blade of cold cuts deep into its arm, and a dart flies wide and sticks into the wood stairs behind it. The creature lets out a bellowing roar - loud enough that your moment of surprise is passed. It swings a heavy morning star in one hand, the weapon head is bigger than most of your bodies, aiming for the heavily armored paladin with the chilling blade. With the other hand, it brings down an equally large battle axe over Xara's head - trying to split the rogue in half.
OOC:
Player turn -- Xara and Kai are in melee with the Ettin at the bottom of the stairs. The rest of you are not.

Pawetha fires another arrow at the ettin to support those in melee. The battle's become too noisy for her liking, and she hopes they can bring the monster down before reinforcements overwhelm them.

Zaris quickly opens a small bag tied to his belt and grabs a pinch of colored sand. He deftly moves towards the ettin and blows the sand into its face. "Zeen'athx dill!" he shouts, as colored light springs from his hands.
