Re: Age of Mythology
Josiah
I am Josiah Mechewitz, Bane of Death and the Thorn in the Side of Hades. And this is Hyde, former servant of the "Lord of the Underworld". Well men lets stop this stalling and get up there. I have a plan to weaken them before we start an actual fight. Well come one then, lets go!
Josiah explains his plan to any brave enough to listen.
Well i'm going to distract them with false images then while their backs are turned hit them with a spell to make them fight each other full force before we run in to fight. Then if any of them notice us all of us spellcasters can blast them way until they fall. Fighters, try to run around the side to flank them. This should work. And if it doesn't plenty of us can grant you second, or even third or fourth life.
Josiah waits for a few people to join him. He then sprints up towards where he thinks the giants are.
SpoilerI am going to try to run up towards the giants with my new improved hasted self. But before i get there I am going to cast Major Image 2 times. All on the opposite side of the giants, the images will be 1 Very Large Menacing Warrior and the last will be a Large Tiger. They will talk to the giants trying to distract them by threatening them loudly. Then once they're all distracted I am going to drop a Song of Discord on the center of the group. This is all depending on whether or not this plan is even possible. Also, until further noted, Hyde, my familiar, is going to going to be ready to use a Finger of Death since he can Deliver Touch Spells. He's going to sit back and watch the fight, and if anything might happen to me, he'll have a prepared action to come use the formerly mentioned spell.Last edited by Dustfinger; 2008-04-10 at 09:26 PM.

Re: Age of Mythology
Karsh
Karsh speaks quickly and softly. "I am Karsh. I, too, come from the land of two rivers. Let that be sufficient for now.
I do not dispute that inciting their ranks to fight one another would be effective, but I resent that you believe that those of us trained in the art of war would be best relegated to a mere flanking role where we may die... three times while you cast spells from safety?
Save your strength. Equal participation will increase our endurance. We know not what it is that we will face in the future; it is best if we are prepared for it."

Tyndur
Following any of the group that is charging ahead, the lanky man frowns. "I hope this question is unnecessary," Tyndur says, also broadcasting it out via telepathic bond so that all the heroes can hear, "but can I trust everyone to not kill incapacitated or surrendered foes?"

Re: Age of Mythology
Lamashtu
The patch of darkness takes to the air, expanding as if it wants to hide the sun and plunge the world in a lightless eternity-but stops when it reaches a width of ten dozen feet. An unearthly laughter can be heard from within as a reply to Tyndur's question.
Don't be naive. We cannot take the giants for prisoners-for then we'd have to feed them. And for every giant prisoner we fed, a dozen humans would die of starvation. We can't let them flee either-they'll return and attack again. As you see then, Death is inevitable. Trying to be merciful you're only deluding yourself.
Spoiler
Deeper Darkness. PPL that can't see in it should not get close to Lamashtu.

Re: Age of Mythology
Hearing the chatter of those around him, Horskarn forgets about poling the longboat in to shore. With a mighty jump, he leaps from the ship onto the coastline, his odd hooked polearm in hand.
"Giants, you say? It will be refreshing to extract some vengeance on their kind, something I have waited long to do. I am called Horskarn Hyrmskarr. Magical tricks I have none - but anyone, spellcaster or otherwise, who approaches within the reach of my hook will wish their gods had taken them home early. I mean to place myself directly in the midst of our foes, as to cause the maximum disruption of their attack - any spells that you magicians could grant to aid me in reaching that cliff without climbing, or more easily dodge the boulders they will surely be hurling, would be welcome...no giant who dares strike me in close quarters will make the same mistake twice."
Spoiler
I'll definitely take one of those Weapon of Energy spells on my weapon, since I'll be making a zillion attacks per round once I get in the middle of them.
From Melioli, I'd like:
-Air Walk
-Freedom of Movement
-Improved Blink
-True Seeing
I hate that Enlarge Person only targets Humanoids...what I wouldn't give for another size category right now...

Re: Age of Mythology
Friends stay away especially after enemies are gone, I tend to loose control as I join into battle. My name is Menin, I come from deep in the deserts. If people would like I can allow any allies close to join me in the ecstasy of battle.
Menin draws one of the large battle axes on his belt.
Spoilerstupid me for not checking yesterday, whatever buffs are good, my attack bonus is 45 so buffs to hit are nice, as are damage, but I have over 1k HP. I frenzy so stay away but i have inspire frenzy which has a 10 ft radius. If I use this please someone have calm emotions to cast lots of times. I'm not going to bother with a listen or int check. and the axe I drew is my dancing one.Last edited by Iudex Fatarum; 2008-04-11 at 11:10 PM.

Re: Age of Mythology
As you ascend the only path out of the wrecked port, giants appear at the edges of the steep rocky cliffs. None of them shorter than twenty feet tall and with an iron grey skin, they must be Jotun-midgard stone giants. While they'd be too far away to hear you talking or even casting spells, the giant sphere of darkness must have tipped them off that something weird was going on and they came to see. They're more than a bit surprised to see you all charging up the steep path.
Spoiler
OK, roll initiative and post actions everyone. In the spoiler part of your posts also include active buffs (including abilities such as frenzy), AC and current HP.
NOTE: the giants are more than 100 but less than 200. Now, if you want to stop for a couple of rounds to count them...

Re: Age of Mythology
Well, I dislike to say that, but this doesnt look like melee to me. I sugest to have some croud spells on them by the casters, and those skilled in close combat prevent them for charging the spell casters. Anny other sugestions?
Ini: [roolv]1d20+7[/rollv]
Rondres rides tovards the giants with the croud of the heroes, and he draws his bastardsword. He wont charge until the giants are close enough, when he will launch a ride by attack on one on the outer side, to prevent attacks of opportunity from the others.

"May hells gates greet you," thunders Tathron in his deep voice.
Tathron flies up 30 feet, and readies an action to fire a eldritch blast at any giant that moves towards the group.
Using a Maximized Vitrolic Brimstone Eldritch Chain Hellfire blast for 17d6 (maximized) damage that bypasses spell resistance, and anyone hit must make two DC 14 saving throws to avoid taking acid damage (2d6/round for 4 rounds) and lighting on fire (2d6/round for 4 rounds).

"There's just an acre of these folk, isn't there?"
Fotios's voice carries a noticeable touch of glee as he works his way up the slope, jumping to bypass a particularly rough-looking section.
Actions:SpoilerLand speed is 60' with Haste, double move towards the giants, then use my swift action to Sudden Leap, jumping a further Jump - (1d20+55)[69] feet (assuming they're far enough away I can't reach them with just a double move).

Re: Age of Mythology
Just an acre? I like the sound of that, but I think two or three would be even more fun.
Seeing his ally jumping through the air, Ponidus follows suit, seeing as it may help. (1d20+50)[55]
He also instructs his Astral Construct to fly up to an area that it can hit the giants with it's Fire Bolt, and to let loose, but to remain mobile.
So when it gets within range, the Astral construct uses Energy Blast (Fire) trying to hit as many opponents as possible in the 120 ft. line. Until then it will double move to get to said position.
(8d8+8)[44] Reflex save vs. DC ? for half damage.Last edited by pup3k; 2008-04-12 at 01:03 PM.

Re: Age of Mythology
Initiative (1d20+6=16)
Horskarn
Horksarn twirls his odd hook-blade, settling it into a guarding stance.
"Skjoldir, attend me!"
His words cause the broad, bronzed metal shield hovering behind him to spring into life, gliding into position to protect its master. Icy blue runes on its surface glitter and glow with contained magic. He advances confidently on the giant armada, positioning himself in between the group and the giants as one of his fellows suggested - as long as Horskarn stood, no giant alive would be capable of getting down that path past him.
Actions:
Spoiler
Double move up the pathway, 140ft. total. Karmic Strike and Robilar's Gambit are active.
Important Stats (assuming I recieved the buffs requested in OOC):
Spoiler
Initiative: 16
HP: 730/730
AC/Touch/FF: 43/19/38 (-21 if Power Attacking) (-4 additional penalty with Karmic Strike active) (Robiliar's Gambit allows enemies an additional +4 bonus to attack and damage against me)
Current Attack Routine:
+41/+41/+36/+31/+26, dealing 2d6+27 damage plus 2d6 sonic damage and 2 negative levels per hit.
Active Buffs:
-Unholy Aura
-Mass Bull's Strength
-Haste
-Air Walk
-Freedom of Movement
-Improved Blink
-True Seeing
-Felldrained Weapon of Energy
Other Effects:
+1 to hit and damage against creatures with Supernatural abilities
Ignore miss chances granted by magical effects (may overlap with True Seeing).
Attacks of Opportunity:
I have a 30ft. reach, recieve unlimited AoO per round, and each provoking action gives me three such attacks - the first at my full attack bonus, the second at a -5, and the third at a -10, with full damage applied to each attack. All of the normal actions that provoke AoO apply to me, along with the following special cases:
-Casting any sort of spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability, regardless of if it would normall provoke AoO or not.
-Charging into a square I threaten.
-Dismiss or redirect an active spell.
-Turn or rebuke undead.
-Attempt to grapple me, even if with Improved Grab or Improved Grapple.
-Attack me in melee
-Hit me in melee
Any movement-related action that provokes an AoO (leaving or entering a threatened square, for instance) will have the first AoO be a Stand Still attempt, forcing a Reflex save with DC=Damage dealt against being unable to move further that turn, but causing no actual HP damage.)

He charges up the slope with blinding speed, tendrils of shadow twisting and roiling out behind him as he goes. After a brief while running, he takes the end of one of his trailing shadows and wraps it around himself, appearing instantly 50 feet further along, both daggers drawn and ready for killing.

Re: Age of Mythology
Tathron, realising the giants aren't coming near the group since they can throw stones at them and that the group is charging at the giants anyway, fires at the first giants to come within range. The blast strikes the first giant, drills a hole through the behemoth's shoulder then arcs over the five closest giants, melting away patches of skin and muscle. Despite the force of the blast, neither the first giant nor any of the others fall over dead-or even critically wounded.
SpoilerChain hits one target-plus one target per five levels. That makes it six targets total, not four. On the other hand, secondary targets take half damage. BTW, the save DC is off by a few points-it should be significantly higher.
Rondres sees that the giants are too far away for a single charge to reach them-or even a quick march. Thus, he runs up the slope as fast as he can and upon reaching the same level as the giants he turns around and sets himself in a good position for a charge at any part of the giant's formation within a radius of two hundred feet.
SpoilerA simple move action doesn't cover the remaining 300 ft to the giants. Thus, run action. Now rondres is pretty much at the end of the ascending path and right behind the two lines of giants (one on his left, one on his right) and within charging distance.
Ponidus seems to move in the blink of an eye, at one moment being along with the rest of the group, the very next having moved more than two hundred feet and caught up along with Rondres. He seems somewhat tired from the sudden movement though-and his ponderous astral construct-even flying and with its speed magically increased-cannot catch up with him or even ascend enough to have a clear line of sight to the giants.
SpoilerYou can move into position under the temporal acceleration-but don't forget the penatlies after the temporal acceleration. The astral construct is too slow to even ascend over the cliffs and get a shot at the giants with a double move-it still needs a standard move to cover the 20 more feet of ascencion (after the double move this turn) and so it has to make the attack the next round.
Spirit moves like a blur and with four well-placed blows, one giant weakened by Tathron's blast staggers, one leg almost severed, and in a rain of blood topples over the ravine and falls down on the group's path almost crashing Spirit's newfound companions.
Spoiler138+102 damage = dead giant
Karsh catches up with the group's fastest members through a minor teleportation while Heidal casts a powerful earthquake upon the largest concentration of giants. The cliffs below the giants' feet begin to crack and crumble, the ancient rock of the weather-beaten cliffs collapsing under the magic. Fully half the left side of the cliffs collapses along with the giants, thousands of tons of rock and soil making one big landslide for a few moments. Landing on the steep upward slope before half the group, stones and fully forty giants continue their movement downwards, taking those members of the group still on the ground along with them for a quick ride of some two hundred feet at which point they crash on the half-ruined dock, completely tearing off even the wooden support columns upon which the dock is built and disappear into the sea. Luckily, seeing the approaching battle, the sailors along with their ships have retreated far enough from the port to avoid the destruction.
SpoilerWhoops! See OOC post.
Preparing to move up the slope and activating his defences, Tyndur is very surpised at the thousands of tons of rock that come down the slope along with forty giants and carry him along-though "carry" would not be the word he'd use for the thousands of rocks-some of them as large as houses-that crash into him and drag him all the way to the sea...
Horskarn sees the landslide coming-but it is too late to stop it and given his position in an upward slope with cliffs towering a hundred feet from both sides, he doesn't have anywhere to dodge either. He's carried along with the rocks and much of his new friends...
Lamashtu, already flying, misses the landslide by more than twenty feet but is unsure wether her original plan would work now anyway. She waits to see wether there's something more effective to do-perhaps help her new allies...
Along with the rest of the group Menin is swept by the landslide, quickly ending up in the sea along with several thiousand tons of rocks, eighty tons of giant and several of his allies...
Fotios sees the landslide coming-but there is nowhere to dodge to and no mortal could hope to stop several thousand tons of rocks by himself without the use of magic. He's swept along with the rest of the group. Josiah too is taken along for the ride, bumping left and right in the mass of rocks, giants and heroes...
The remaining giants, seeing nearly half of their brethren swept along by the power of the Earth stare in awe, stunned by the deafening sound, the vibrations of thousands of tons of rock falling on rock from a hundred feet up, the utter annihilation of the harbor and the barely audible cries of giants as they fall a hundred feet, are crashed by tons of rock, are swept away by the landslide, are impaled by the breaking wooden planks of the harbor and are then dragged more than fifty feet into the sea...
If all you have is a hammer, don't be lazy; be a blacksmith and start making more stuff.

Initiative - (1d20+7)[20]
HP: 264
AC: 49 (touch 32, flat 44)
Active Buffs:
* True Seeing (depending on amount of time elapsed from storm)
* Freedom of Movement (depending on amount of time elapsed from storm)
* Air Walk
* Owl's Insight (+12 WIS)
* Tortoise Shell (+10 enhancement to Natural Armor, speed reduced to 20')
* Stoneskin (DR 10/adamantine)
* Death Ward
* Eagle's Splendor (+4 CHA)
* Bear's Endurance (+4 CON)
* Cat's Grace (+4 DEX)
* Bull's Strength (+4 STR) -- only group buff I got off
* Haste (from Tyndur, speed increased to 40')
* +4 resistance to all saves (from Lamashtu)
* SR 25 vs. good (from Lamashtu, doubtful it'll be useful)
Action: Hesitant to use most of my better AoE spells for fear of harming allies... instead use a long-range (up to 1120') empowered vitriolic sphere (no SR) to target an otherwise unaffected group of giants in a 10' burst (15d4 x 150%, Reflex 1/2 DC 30; those failing the save take 6d4 next round (reflex 1/2), and those failing again take 3d4 (reflex 1/2) on the third round).
The nymph reserves some of her most powerful magics for later, and instead focuses on harming a more targeted group of giants.Last edited by Duke of URL; 2008-04-14 at 08:04 AM.

Re: Age of Mythology
When the Giant on the right side is close enough, Rondres charges him, wielding his Bastardsword in two hands, leading his horse with mental comands.
Spoiler
If Rondres is abel to use smite evil while charging, he'll do so.
At: (1d20+41)[18](59) +7 from smite evil

Re: Age of Mythology
Spoiler
Damage from smite is not affected by critical hit, is it?
Critical thread:(1d20+39)[3](42) +7 from smite
Dam: (1d10+30)[9](39) (+100, if smite counts in)
I forgott: Wounding waepon: Target looses 1 con dam per hit. (not affected by critical)
Question. Improved crittical feat does increase my thread range from 19-20 to 17-20, right?

Re: Age of Mythology
Karsh
Karsh turns momentarily, pointing with a dagger at the carnage. "That is exactly what I was talking about."
Then, turning back to the giants, he lets out a roar and charges, nearly on all fours. The shadows whirling about him coalesce into two massive wings which beat symbolically as he hurls himself through the air for the last bit of distance of his charge, landing nimbly and safely in the midst of the giants, his daggers flashing in a windmill of fury.
