Re: Here There Be Giants 5
ROUND 1
Borimer jumps into the fight, making massive strikes with the Godslayer blade against the giant. (75 total damage, including one critical (no special).)
Tahldar casts magic missile, hitting the wolf that Hatchman is going after.
Hatchman launches himself at the wolf as well, slicing open its belly. As its entrails fall over the floor, the wolf collapses. (Critical hit, natural 20, critical bleeding from abdomen.)
Shae is rushing down the stairs to help.
Shapfren is also moving down the stairs to help, while at the same time telling everyone to move back to safety upstairs.
The giant strikes back at Borimer...missing the massive barbarian with both giant daggers.
The remaining wolf rears back and emits a stream of frost from its lungs that engulfs everything within 10 feet. (Save allowed for half damage, otherwise 4d6 damage. Borimer and Shapfren made their saves; all else failed.)
Borimer...is hit with the frost for 9 hp dmg.
Shae...is covered with the biting frost for 17 hp dmg.
Kahan...also is hit for 17 hp dmg.
Hatchman...is right in front of the beast and takes 19 hp dmg.
Shapfren...ducks and takes only 9 hp dmg.
OOC: That's weird. I just rolled 17 in 4 out of 5 of the 4d6 rolls. Check the dice roller if you want.
Kahan finishes casting, and the frost giant's furs catch on fire. (8 hp dmg.)
OOC: If I say "no special" with a critical or don't indicate anything special, that means it didn't do any special kind of damage, like broken limb, bleeding, severing, etc. Because this is based on a roll that depends on the weapon size versus the size of the opponent, it is more rare to have special damage with a critical hit against a giant sized opponent than a smaller one.
Frost Giant: 33/116 hp (AC=0; THACO=7)
Winter Wolf 1: 0/48 hp (AC=5; THACO=15)
Winter Wolf 2: 48/48 hp (AC=5; THACO=15)
