Campaign Thread VII: F___ Marriage...

[bhu]

were over to vlad and os then

[oslecamo]

(how close is the last flying giant to Morte?
How close is the immobilized giant to the other immobilized giant that was just killed?)

[bhu]

He's not in melee but will be on his action this turn

Within 10 feet of the dead one

[oslecamo]

As the immobilized giant succumbs to the jester's acid, Morte laughs and disappears into a violet flash, reforming right next to dying brute, empowering herself with the fleeting remants of its life energy and condensing the leftovers into a glowing spirit ball over the cooling corpse. Morte is momentarily surrounded by a dark nimbus as she steps closer to the nearby living giant, lashing out with her scythe, teeth and tail more viciously than ever!

Better luck in your next lives, you big fools!

Casting recovers Magic Drain Missile.
Swift action to recover Sonic Lance.

[bhu]

He is deaded.  No one receives further attacks so its likely Mule has fled.  It takes forever but you eventually get everyone to the top of the hill without further injury.  The ruins loom in the background as sundown approaches. 

Where do y'all head first?

[ketaro]

(click to show/hide)

I knew that would happen!!! 
Does there happen to be anyone invisible nearby? See invis still active

Rolled 1d20-1 : 11 - 1, total 10

[/spoilers]

Finally at the top of the hill, but with no enemies around still alive now, Shak'ri heavily smashed her tail against the ground in anger.
"Damn it! That's bullshit!"

[Solo]

"So, what was this I heard about a tree demon of some sort?"

[oslecamo]

Yeah, you guys go ahead or take a rest, I just need to clean up this trash first, no reason to leave this nice place all filthy.

Morte loads the giant remains on her boat and rows behind some nearby rocks where nobody else can see her.

Then uses her daily Animate Dead SLA to try to animate as many of them as possible as skeletons.
CL 8.

[bhu]

It's about this point you realize none of you have seen your employer since the beach...

merc captain  "It's in the ruins.  Mule has probably gone inside to warn it.  It'll start singing come sundown."

You get one skeleton of 12 HD, does that put you over your control limit?

[oslecamo]

(click to show/hide)

Should be under, since animate dead gives me a control cap of 4xCL, aka 32 right now. I had the other 3 skeletons made from rednecks which I guess are waiting at the bottom of the cliff, since they're from basic humanoids they should only have 1 HD each as they would've lost any class levels they had.

Anyway Morte will use whatever is at hand to disguise the giant skeleton as best as possible to appear living, or at least not automatically appear as an undead to don't scare the mercenaries. Make sure all bones are covered with clothing and whatnot.
What giant-sized weapons were looted so I can gear up Morte's new servant?

[RobbyPants]

Mustave retrieves his two normal daggers.

"Where'd what's-his-face go? Did he betray us, or is he scared of this thing that comes out at night?

Do we want to seek shelter before sundown, or do we want to press our luck against this thing everyone keeps warning us about?"

[Vladeshi]

"Where'd what's-his-face go? Did he betray us, or is he scared of this thing that comes out at night?

Do we want to seek shelter before sundown, or do we want to press our luck against this thing everyone keeps warning us about?"

"Also, we should check the giants pockets, or at least check if they have any pockets."

[Risada]

Kulgan is also frustrated he didn't kill anything.

"Then let's go deal with this demon tree or tree demon or whatever!."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with waiting until tomorrow. In fact, an attack at dawn is traditional. But I prefer the thrill of a night raid."

The giants all have masterwork longbows, +1 Glaives and hide armor.   Theres about 70 arrows between them

[bhu]

Once you head forward you are stunned to find the ground littered with corpses of what might be dozens of villagers, all of their faces frozen in terror.  Many of the bodies have been torn apart, and various limbs and heads are strewn throughout teh limbs of trees in a grove at the hills center.  There is an abominably foul odor, and a thin plume of smoke coming from the groves center.


Whatcha doin? 

[RobbyPants]

(whispering) "Anyone wanna scout it out?"

[bhu]

You hear noises from the glade that remind you uncomfortably of a butcher cutting up meat.
