To The Steading

[GreyWolfVT]

Joven and Rex move into the room and cover everyone else.

[spanningtree]

Master of Dragons opens the door and steps through with Fergus and Duvli right behind him. As they fan out everyone sees a lot of chaos! It's a really big kitchen with counters along the walls, several tables and benches here and there also. There are pots, kettles, bowls, knives and such on top of the work spaces. A large fireplace is on the western wall with several spits of varied cooking meats. There are five giantesses (Gi, on map) directing many young giants (Gc, on map) and a small army of orc (Oc, on map) slaves in a variety of cooking operations. The room is very well lit. There is a large set of double doors to the eastern corridor. No weapons are evident on any of them.

The party somewhat surprised the cooks by coming entering in silence but there are just to many eyes in the room. From your position of silence you can see orcs and child giants yelling but cannot hear them. Some of the orcs are already starting to run to the north. One of the child giants is running to the east toward the doors. One of the giantesses throws a rolling pin at Fergus but it glances right off of his shield. It's clear some may fight...

Keep in mind the group is currently in a zone of silence. Spell casting is inhibited.

[greyarea]

Master of Dragons launches himself at the rolling-pin thrower, striking first with his bench and following with a roundhouse kick!

Bench [1d20] = 20 dmg [1d6+6] = 5+6 = 11
open hand attack [1d20] = 10 dmg [2d6] = 8 If to hit is >5 target roll, then stun for 1-6 rounds

[GreyWolfVT]

Joven fires at the first open Orc target and sends rex to attack the one in the NE corner of the room.

I suspect either my macro is goofy or the roller is having issues...
Heavy Crossbow of Speed w/+1 Bolts [1d20] = 0 To Hit [1d4+2] = 0+2 = 2 S/M Dmg [1d6+2] = 5+2 = 7 L Dmg
Heavy Crossbow of Speed w/+1 Bolts [1d20] = 2 To Hit [1d4+2] = 1+2 = 3 S/M Dmg [1d6+2] = 0+2 = 2 L Dmg

How would you like to have Rex's attacks rolled by myself or the DM?

SAPHRAX: MU
Sends his pseudo-dragon (poison tail) to stop the Giant "child" (running East to the doors) by any means necessary, then holds his action to see which direction the silence spell moves so he can maneuver out of it.

[Mant72]

Cathedra charges at the nearest giant child to the east and curses through clenched teeth, "No one must leave this chamber alive!"

Attack with +2 Short Sword: [1d20+2] = 1+2 = 3; Damage: sm - [1d6+2] = 1+2 = 3; lg - [1d8+2] = 5+2 = 7 Ughhhhh...

[Darkmane]

Moreeth will hurl a javelin of lightning into the midst of the giants, targeting a giantess just in front of the party, and pointing it so the length of it leads down the hallway to the left (no bounce back at us!)

[tumblingdice]

Duvli slowly backs up, trying to free the spell casters from his silence spell. Uttering a battle cry no one will ever hear, he then throws Grontdrengi (dwarven hammer) at the closest giantess.

[1d20+3] = 17+3 = 20

Wilryn - Gnome Illusionist

Wilryn takes a few steps to the northwest. He fires Burning Hands from his Wand of Fire.

[Dram]

Vacarxia takes his wand of lightning aiming at the 3 running out the east door.

Wand of Lightning[8d6+8] = 20+8 = 28
