Orc Solo

[bobthe6th]

a rather precise title

[Babale]

Your tribe has tasked you with the slaying of a creature that has been stealing food. You have tracked it to its cave. You now stand outside a dark hole in the side of the mountain. A horrible stench rises from within. The cave is about twenty feet away. What do you do?

[bobthe6th]

holding his axe in his left hand and a javelin ready to throw in his right, Granshnak sidles up to the cave.
one move action twords cave each round, standard to ready action to throw javelin.

[Babale]

You look into the cave. It is dark, but your Orcish darkvision allows you to see into the cave. The cave slopes down slightly, and the ground is littered with bones. The tunnel stretches for at least a hundred feat; you cannot see the end of the tunnel, even with Orcish darkvision.

[bobthe6th]

continue forward, same movement pattern.

[Babale]

As you slowly advance, you realize that the passage is only about two hundred feet long. At the end of the tunnel, there is a sharp turn. As you approach the turn, a booming voice thunders from within. Make an Intelligence Check, please.

[bobthe6th]

[roll0]
heh cruddy stat there

[Babale]

You cannot understand the voice. Soon after, you hear heavy, padded footsteps coming from around the bend, which you are 15 feet from.

[bobthe6th]

step back 15 ft, ready action to throw javilin

[Babale]

As the footsteps come closer, you see the dancing light of a torch from around the bend. The stench grows much stronger. Moments later, a large, ugly humanoid with two heads comes around the corner. In his left hand he carries a torch, while in his right hand he carries a large, spiked mace.

Roll to attack with the javelin, please.

[bobthe6th]

to hit: [roll0]
damage if hit: [roll1]

[Babale]

The javelin flies forth, missing the Ettin and striking the wall behind him. The Ettin angrily throws down his torch, which continues to burn, and draws a second morning star in his other hand.

Roll for Initiative, please.

also-2 to ac

[Babale]

The orc's axe strikes the ettin, cutting it horribly. The ettin is a great, powerful beast, however, and he is still standing. Roaring in rage, he swings both of his enormous morning stars.

Right hand:
[roll0] if hits: [roll1]
[roll2] if hits: [roll3]
Left hand:
[roll4] if hits: [roll5]
[roll6] if hits: [roll7]

[Babale]

The ettin swings wildly. With his right hand, he hits the Orc twice, but only once with his left. The orc, however, is still standing.

[Babale]

With a blood-curling yell, the Orc chops the Ettin in twain.

Holy crap, 90 damage? From a level 5 character? MADNESS!


Hill Giant is CR 7. You would have brought him down to 12 hitpoints...
