Whistler limbers up, ready for a true show of strength and then lays down with the rest, ready to ambush.

Baeshra summons another constrictor snake, and transforms himself into one, slithering out to flank the creatures, him and the summon each taking a side, and wait for the party's signal to move in and attack.

Baeshra summons another constrictor snake, and transforms himself into one, slithering out to flank the creatures, him and the summon each taking a side, and wait for the party's signal to move in and attack.

 Make a stealth roll for you and the sneaky snake.

Now that she's a little closer, Nyx also sees that one of the fire giants has a large rod, like the previous ones did. 

So far the giants and trolls haven't noticed the party.  The fire giants seem to be more concerned with beating the trolls into finding them food.

Umbriel whispers to Lyngheid, "That could be a problem. I should have suspected they'd have more than one of those locating rods. We'll need to deal with them or else they'll find our friend holding a large chunk of adamantine that isn't hers, and I don't like to think about what they'll do. I'm a little spent, but I think we should stop them here. What do you think?"

"I think they are hungry and are using the trolls to get food... maybe we can lure them out with false food, into a trap? We could set up the oil and light it."

" Fire will worry the trolls, but not the giants."

" I'm happy to play bait....I'm noisy and slow anyway."

Baeshra snake: 15

Summoned snake: 4

(Are we still in the marsh? And would that make it easier for a snake to sneak/swim?)

Whistler hands over his flask of oil to Nyx.

Alright - with the party ready to go, Umbriel gives a silent nod to the group, tries to make eye contact with Snake Baeshra, and bamfs (Blessing of the Raven Queen) out of his current position, ending up thirty feet away from the group and opposite the direction that Baeshra went. 

(in my head, I picture the result being *Umbriel*------------------*The Group*-----------------------*Baeshra and slithery friends*)

Before his shadowy resistance fades, he'll lower the staff toward the closest fire giant, and throw a Ray of Sickness (1st level) at him: Attack: 15 Damage: 10 poison damage, and a Con save, DC 15. If he fails, he's poisoned until the end of Umbriel's next turn. 

He'll then use the staff to throw Shield at anything thrown his way (as a reaction).

(let's do this!) 

Nyx swears.

OCC: Depending on how close she is to the giants she will fire her hand crossbow.

Yes, still in the swampy, marsh.

Alright, Umbriel bampfs away, then launches a ray of sickness at one of the Fire Giants, but it misses!

Everyone roll initiative, and take your turn if higher than Fire Giant: 14. 

Droop Initiative: 12

Ireniana Initiative: 15

Ireniana takes a step forward, grows in size thanks to her Giant rune, and sends two arrows at FG1: 20, 23.  Her first arrow lands, doing 6 piercing damage.

Initiative: 10

Lyngheid yelled to attract the trolls and giants to get their attention then charged at them, armouring herself with her goddesses blessing.

Shield of Faith ( AC to 20)

Initiative: 7

Baeshra initiative: 10

(Intent was to have Baeshra on one side and his snake on the other side, flanking the giants between them.)

Initiative: 13

Whistler will move around to Umbriel, hold action if any creature reaches Whistler or Umbriel for attack.

Nyx Initiative: 19

Nyx does her crossbow thing on FG1: 15

The Fire Giants and trolls turn around at the approach of the party. 

FG1 hurls a rock at Whistler: 17, and it lands, doing 35 bludgeoning damage!

FG2 steps forward and hurls a rock at Owlbear: 24, and it crashes into Owlbear doing 34 bludgeoning damage.

The trolls Dash forward trying to get into range.

The party is up!

Droop yelps, and circles around, then unleashes two arrows at T4: 27, 20, both land, the first doing 8 piercing, and the second doing 12 piercing damage.

Baeshra, adjust your positioning for pre-round1 as you see fit, you are still undetected.  Your snake was detected, however.

Whistler, unleash the beast!  And Owlbear.

*cracks knuckles*

Round 1:

Bonus: Rage.
Whistler swings around T4 to flank Ireniana, grabbing Owlbear's attention too as they both show the perfection of feathers and razor-sharp objects.

GWM Attack: 18 Damage: 23
GWM Attack: 15 Damage: 21
Reaction: Negate 2
Beak Attack: 26 Damage: 8
Claw Attack: 25 Damage: 14

Whistler shouts out to any available healer, "OWLBEAR HURT!"

Lyngheid stepped up and laid hands on the owlbear ( Cure Wounds: 18 ) then moved forward toward the troll and called on her Goddess ( Con 14 save or 12 Radiant to T4)

Nyx grabs one of her vials of oil and lobs it towards the grouped trolls.

”Light them up boys...”

OCC: At T2 and T3.Hoping I can splash both. Is a thrown object just your Dex mod?  22

Also uses Inspire on Whistler. Add 1d6 to a roll.
