- APL: 5

- Encounter 2: 1 CR 7 Hill Giant (CR 7 Encounter)
The guild gathered you together. They were contacted by a village that has been running into some trouble with raiders, thugs really. Ogres by the description so should be able to know a little going into it. It seems the Ogres are a bit more organized than expected and they have been raiding the village for supplies, taking food and livestock. Some people have been hurt when they tried to resist, but so far no one has been killed. They have asked for help as there just isn't enough fighting type people in the village to do something about it. So the guild sends the three of you out, providing a cart to get you to the village. Once to the village the elders meet with you, provide a bit of a meal and give you some more details, like where they have been coming from and where they depart to. They do give you a chance to ask any more questions.
Arisha arrives at the village and looks out at the people around. "yeah, the ogres are going to massacre them unless we stop them." She says softly, holding out her pistol and loading it quietly.
Kogger isn't really your chatty goblin in most cases, at least not when it comes to saying anything besides 'kill it'. He listens as the details are laid out, but seems to let the others take care of the questioning.
"They might, they might not," Aya answers Arisha with a mild shrug as she looks over the village and its people. "They'll be able to do whatever they want, but if they're organize, they might not be stupid enough to destroy the village."
The elder that has been talking to you looks at you again, "So any questions? If not I will leave you to it." he says and waits a moment.
Arisha says, "No one has been hurt unless they resist? Hmmmm." She says softly. "We might be able to get away with talking to them, I think.""
Kogger sticks a finger in his large ear, wiggling it around for a moment then looking at the wax before flicking it off. He appears to not be paying too much attention.
Aya looks to the elder. "Do they attack regularly? At any particular time, or after some specific event?"
The Elder shrugs a bit, "its been every week, they at least give us time to start to build supplies back up, they are due here today, which is why we tried to get help."
Kogger nods when he hears the ogres are going to be here today, then pats his dragonspitter. "We kill if not leave alone. Simple."
Aya acknowledges the elder with a dip of her chin before looking sidelong at the gobber. "Simple is the first thought you bring to mind, yes."
The Elder nods and then leaves to return to his home. It sounds like the Ogres should be here before long, though you also know the route they always seem to come from and depart to.
Kogger narrows his eyes as he looks at Aya, and snorts. One hand rests on the handle of his dragonspitter, a finger tapping slightly against it. "Wait? Or?"
Aya's lips part to display a hint of smile and she gestures outward towards the edge of the village. "We might need to wait for these raiders to arrive before we can interene, but we don't have to wait right here. After you."
<OOC> Kogger says, "did we get a general direction they come from?" <OOC> Arisha thinks we could find one. I'm a bit of a tracker. <OOC> Arisha returns. <OOC> Aya says, "They gave us the route they arrive and leave by"
The goblin shrugs faintly as he looks around. "I hide, I shoot, I kill. Done." He starts looking for good spots to use for an ambush.
You can find the place the ogres use, its hard to miss the trail as they use it weekly.
Arisha ponders quietly. "Maybe there's a bigger problem....."
Aya walks casually with the others, letting the gobber lead or hide as he wants to. A brow arches at Arisha. "How so? I'm sure there's more than the villager told us. Or do you mean larger ogres?"
Kogger finds a spot where he has a view of the trail, and where he can quickly hide if necessary. "What problem?"
Arisha says, "Larger ogres possibly. Or something else. I'd try to talk to them first, but my best diplomacy is at the business end of a pistol." She says shrugging."
<OOC> Myaris says, "perceptions" GAME: Arisha rolls perception: (1)+12: 13 (EPIC FAIL) GAME: Kogger rolls perception: (14)+11: 25 <OOC> Arisha says, "welp. got that out of the way." <OOC> Myaris says, "aya?" <OOC> Arisha pokes Aya. <OOC> Arisha says, "RL might've gotten her." <OOC> Myaris says, "it will be a lot harder with 2 but we can continue if you want" GAME: Aya rolls perception: (16)+12: 28 <OOC> Arisha says, "there she is." <OOC> Myaris says, "yeah" <OOC> Aya says, "Sorry. Ihad a phone call." You paged (Kogger, Aya) with 'You can hear sounds of something approaching, from the direction, seems the Ogres are arriving.'
Kogger taps his ears a few times, pointing off towards where he hears sounds, then he takes cover and readies to ambush them, if this diplomacy fails.
GAME: Kogger rolls stealth: (1)+26: 27 (EPIC FAIL)
"I've no problem talking to them. If we can persuade them to alter their plans permanently, all the better." Aya agrees with Arisha, uneven smile forming at the latter comment. "It's not bad if it works." Her words trail off and her head swivels. She points out, much more quietly, that, "I think our guests are arriving."
Arisha's cleaning out her ears, or else she'd have heard them coming. But she does hear Aya's warning, and sees Kogger's warning. So there's that.... The sounds can be heard by now all, ogres arguing in Jotun.
Kogger waits patiently in his hiding spot, his diplomacy also begins and ends with bullets.
Aya listens to the conversation, as it is, that precedes their guests of honor. She glances again to Arisha. "I don't suppose you've the slightest idea what they're saying, do you? If we want to convince them of anything, it would help if they can understand us."
The sounds come closer and then they can be seen, 4 ogres trudging along, heading for the village.
Arisha says, "Nope. All I hear is grunting, farting and belching. One of these days, I'll ask of crapping one's self has any special significance. But for now......we'll have to hope they speak trade." She then holds up her hand. "Excuse me!" she calls up."
As a group the Ogres turn at the voice. The one in the lead looks at Arisha, "You bring stuff, we get stuff, or we smash." sounds like speaks trade or at least tries to.
Kogger remains hidden, slowly drawing his dragonspitter and preparing to fight, he doesn't think any negotiations are going to work. Ogres, even ones organized like this, rarely give in and just walk away.
Arisha says, "How about no. Is there a reason why you keep raiding this particular village? Why not move on and find someplace else Or is there someone pushing you to do this?""
"You might want to re-think your well-crafted demands," Aya speaks up once at least one ogre seems slightly educated. "There are easier targets, now. This village isn't one any longer."
Kogger pages: I'd like to use my shadow image power, to cast an illusion of more adventurer types appearing back behind buildings and stuff. Moving into the open all with bows and crossbows and some guns. You paged Kogger with 'ok' Kogger pages: Should I pose that then? You paged Kogger with 'yes, and any rolls or resist it might have let me know'
Kogger mutters quietly and makes a few strange gestures while in his hiding spot. After a moment there are now moving out from hiding behind some of the villagers houses more adventurers. Some armed with bows, others with crossbows, and even two with thunderbelchers. They all aim thier weapons at the Ogres.
Kogger pages: Its silent image, per illusions in pathfinder, you only get a save if you interact with them....like if I actually try to shoot the ogres. Or they try to hit the illusions.
The Ogres look at Arisha and Aya and start to reply and then see the others moving out or who they think is moving out, "Smash, Smash." they start chanting.

"Take your time," Aya responds to Arisha as she calls to the shadows. Some answer, flitting to her, coating her and darkening her in a semi-solid layer of shadowstuff as she steps towards the ogres ahead to Arisha, but not to them.

It is now Aya's turn! Ogres is next!
<OOC> Myaris says, "aya, two in front of you and they hit you hard"
Kogger seems to easily avoid the ogres blows, almost dancing around as he starts firing away at the one he wounded earlier. His pistol spits out shot after shot until one of them drops.

Round Three - Init 26.
It is now Arisha's turn! Kogger is next!
The three remaining ogres keep it up, a bit enraged. One swings and misses Kogger while the other two swing and miss at Aya.
Aya suddenly finds herself between two clubs. Very large clubs, that are wielded with more skill than she expected, leaving her battered and bloody. "Whatever you're going to do, do it fast!" So much for Arisha taking her time. Aya lashes out at one, then the other, but blood in her eyes and possibly a concussion limit her successes to only a single knifehand on the second.
<OOC> Arisha says, "Using Judgement to give me +2 to hit, and shooting at the same ogre my Spiritual weapon is attacking." <OOC> Myaris says, "that one is dead" <OOC> Myaris says, "might go for the one aya damaged" <OOC> Arisha says, "That one works better then. :D" GAME: Arisha rolls ranged+1-4: (3)+7+1+-4: 7 <OOC> Arisha says, "ranged touch."

<OOC> Myaris says, "kogger" <OOC> Kogger says, "Blast away at the other one on me." <OOC> Myaris says, "k"

Round Three - Init 18.
It is now Aya's turn! Ogres is next!
<OOC> Myaris says, "aya"
Once more the little goblin dances aside from the attacks of the Ogres. Kogger continues to reload his weapon in a rush and unloads each shot accurately into the ogre.
<OOC> Aya will try this again. "As before, but I will wait until Stunning Fist results before choosing target for the rest." <OOC> Myaris says, "ok" GAME: Aya spends ONE point of KI POOL. <OOC> Myaris says, "the unhurt one for the stunning?" <OOC> Aya says, "Yes."

Aya manages to avoid the followup blows, now look as annoyed as bloodied. "That." She snap-kicks one ogre, their size difference placing her heel right into 'primary target area'. "Isn't." She sppins to punch the other in a one-two, then -three combination, the last being an upwards elbow followthrough to under its chin which makes it stumble and drop. "Helping!"
GAME: Arisha rolls 1d20+6: (3)+6: 9 <OOC> Arisha says, "WHAT IS IT WITH THIS GAME AND 9!" <OOC> Arisha says, "Miss and miss." <OOC> Aya says, "The Whirldice are taunting you in front of your blood." <OOC> Arisha poses. <OOC> Myaris says, "the ranged touch hits" <OOC> Arisha says, "huh.

Round Four - Init 25.
It is now Kogger's turn! Aya is next!
With one ogre stunned and the other uncon, the remaining one continues to fight Kogger missing.
<OOC> Myaris says, "kogger"
Arisha levels her pistol and fires it at the ogre, getting a good, firey hit, but the Spiritual weapon is still flailing at the back of the ogre's head.
<OOC> Kogger says, "Another full rapid shotty" GAME: Kogger rolls 16+1-2: (8)+16+1+-2: 23 GAME: Kogger rolls 16+1-2: (18)+16+1+-2: 33 GAME: Kogger rolls 11+1-2: (7)+11+1+-2: 17 <OOC> Myaris says, "all hit" GAME: Kogger rolls 1d8+2+1: (8)+2+1: 11 GAME: Kogger rolls 1d8+2+1: (3)+2+1: 6 GAME: Kogger rolls 1d8+2+1: (6)+2+1: 9 <OOC> Myaris says, "way dead" GAME: Myaris advances the initiative order.
Round Four - Init 18.
It is now Aya's turn! Ogres is next!
The goblin seems well trained in his weapon of choice, even how to handle it while doging between the blows of the ogre. Kogger manages to finish this one off and seems to put in a bullet even as the thing is falling down dead. Perhaps he just wanted to be sure...always double tap.
<OOC> Myaris says, "aya" <OOC> Myaris says, "you have the one in front of you and the one that dropped uncon" <OOC> Myaris says, "aya?" <OOC> Aya says, "Sorry, back." <OOC> Aya will flurry at the one still up. <OOC> Aya says, "SF and Style strike, in that order." <OOC> Myaris says, "ok" GAME: Aya rolls melee+1: (9)+8+1: 18 GAME: Aya rolls melee+1: (17)+8+1: 26 <OOC> Myaris says, "hit hit" GAME: Myaris rolls 1d20+6: (7)+6: 13 <OOC> Myaris says, "and stunned again" GAME: Aya rolls melee+1-5: (15)+8+1+-5: 19 <OOC> Myaris says, "hit" GAME: Aya rolls 1d8+3+1: (5)+3+1: 9 GAME: Aya rolls 1d8+3+1: (6)+3+1: 10 GAME: Aya rolls 1d8+3+1: (1)+3+1: 5 <OOC> Myaris says, "down." <OOC> Myaris says, "dead down"
Aya doesn't comment this time, when Arisha's shot hits the lone standing ogre. She simply follows up with a another rapid combination of kick, strike, and collapses the followthrough of the last into a snap of elbow that also hits true. It helps tip the crumpling raider away from herself.
All the ogres have been taken out, one is just unconscious but the others are bleeding out on the ground. Nothing else seems to be coming.
Kogger looks around for a bit more, then starts to clean his weapon and holster it. He points to the trail the ogres came from, "Track back?"
Aya spits out blood at the ground near the last pair of would-be raiders. "You should have negotiated." She then looks to her current acquaintenances. "If there are more, maybe they'll have more common sense. If not..." She roll sher shoulders.
Arisha starts to clean her weapon too. "yeah, if they're this ready to fight......they shouldn't be allowed to linger.
It isn't hard to follow the trail back, it leads off into the hills. It might be remembered that Aya is a bit hurt too.
<OOC> Arisha can heal her if need be. <OOC> Arisha says, "yeah, I'll need to."
GAME: Arisha rolls 1d8+4: (7)+4: 11 GAME: Arisha rolls 1d8+4: (8)+4: 12 <OOC> Arisha gave Aya 23 HP back. GAME: You damaged Aya for -23 points. 32 remaining.
Kogger nods after the wounded member of the party is healed, then points towards the trail. "Track."
<OOC> Arisha is waiting for Mya. <OOC> Myaris says, "go ahead and pose the healing and roll for the tracking"
Arisha puts her hand on Aya's shoulder and lets out a low murmer of a prayer for her. "Yes I know my job. I don't need it spelled out for me."
GAME: Arisha casts Cure Light Wounds. Caster Level: 4 DC: 14 GAME: Arisha casts Cure Light Wounds. Caster Level: 4 DC: 14
<OOC> Myaris says, "healed the damage, roll for the tracking if that is what you are doing."
Aya accepts the healing without complaint, regardless of to whom Arisha prays. She eyes the gobber and points ahead. "Why don't you walk point, fearless leader?"
GAME: Arisha rolls survival+2: (13)+10+2: 25 <OOC> Arisha stares.
Kogger grunts, "Point tracks, I go." He will go as far as he can until he need someone to show him the tracks. He has some training, just not a lot.
GAME: Kogger rolls survival: (15)+6: 21
It is fairly easy to follow the tracks. They lead into the hills and to what looks like a cave though the opening is massive and there are fortifications around the entrance.
Arisha looks at the fortifications. "Well then....they were expecting some sort of battle....or some sort of enemy to come after them. Maybe they were doing a protection racket."
Kogger smiles a bit, "I go look, come back...maybe set fires."
"I don't think this is only the work of ogres," Aya opines. "Not the normal random brutes." Speaking of that, she looks to the gobber, "What should we d-Oh, excellent. You do that, and we'll wait for your glorious return."
Arisha takes a deep breath. "that actually sounds like a decent idea." She says reloading a cartridge into her pistol. "When he comes back out......we tick everyone off with darkness...."
GAME: Kogger rolls stealth: (4)+26: 30
The goblin simply vanishes as he reaches the first shadow he nears, and then starts to sneak into the cave to look around.
You paged Kogger with 'you can sneak into the cave, inside is a giant. Sitting on a makeshift throne.'
Kogger looks around inside for a few moments, then sneaks back out to appear next to the pair. "Giant." he says simply.
Arisha says, "Of course it's a giant. Only a giant would command ogres. What color was it?"
You paged Kogger with 'deep ruddy brown'
"Deep ruddy brown." The goblin replies.
Arisha takes a breath and tries to figure out what they're facing. Not that they have much of element powers to work with.
<OOC> Arisha says, "What do I roll for it?" <OOC> Myaris says, "knowledge nature I believe and don't forget your monster lore bonuses" GAME: Arisha rolls knowledge/nature+3: (5)+8+3: 16 You paged Arisha with 'maybe a hill giant'
Arisha makes a bit of a face. "Hill Giant. We're gonna be in for a heck of a fight here." She then looks to Kogger. "Can you see in the dark?"
Kogger nods "Yes, pull him out? Shoot shoot run?"
Arisha nods. "yeah. Draw him out.....and we blind him with darkness...."
<OOC> Myaris says, "afk keep posing. figure out what you want to do brb" <OOC> Aya returns from AFK, catches up.
Aya's lips part to show a smile and flash of white teeth. "Go in, draw it out. We'll ambush it, with shadow as our ally."
Kogger waits a moment, then nods. "Shoot, draw out. Be ready." The goblin then starts to move off, vanishing into the shadows again.
GAME: Kogger rolls stealth: (16)+26: 42 <OOC> Myaris says, "go ahead you can pose and then get an flatfooted attack"
The goblin slips in carefully, shadows clinging to his form and making him as close to invisible as someone can be without really being invisible. When he is standing close to the enterance and has a site on the giant, he fires.
<OOC> Kogger says, "So is this a full attack or a single suprise shot?" <OOC> Myaris says, "hmm..single suprise but would be flatfooted"
Arisha stays outside, and loads another cartridge. "Be safe, Aya." She says as she leans against a tree. GAME: Kogger rolls 16: (20)+16: 36 <OOC> Kogger says, "psh, threat" GAME: Kogger rolls 16: (16)+16: 32 GAME: Kogger rolls 4d8+8: (11)+8: 19
The giant is hit by the shot and it definitely gets his attention, He stands and starts to run towards where the shot came from.
Kogger fires off the shot, then lets himself be seen as he sprints out of the cave. "Incoming!"

Round Two - Init 17.
It is now Aya's turn! Arisha is next!
Kogger finishes clearing his weapon and keeps on firing away, bullet after bullet hitting the target and slowly causing wounds to stack up.
After getting blasted repeatedly by Kogger the giant slams its fists on the gobber more than once, one of them connecting solidly.
<OOC> Myaris says, "aya" <OOC> Aya will try again. "Flurry wit ki. SF on first, SS on second." GAME: Aya spends ONE point of KI POOL.

Round Three - Init 26.
It is now Arisha's turn! Kogger is next!
<OOC> Myaris says, "arisha" <OOC> Arisha shall shoot at it again. GAME: Arisha rolls ranged: (17)+7: 24 GAME: Arisha rolls 1d6+2: (4)+2: 6 <OOC> Myaris says, "and it drops"
Aya begins with a low blow that isn't so low for her against a giant. The kick is followed by knifehand, knuckle and snapping elbow that she seems to favor. All connect but the last, leaving the brute injured but not dazed.
With Aya doing all of that damage, Arisha manages to keep her left arm steady long enough for her shot to get through.....and that she does, putting the bullet through the temple of the giant. "At least I got him when it mattered the most."
Kogger jumps back when the giant falls, not wanting to be crushed underneath it. He looks around for a bit, then cleans and holsters his dragonspitter. "We go look inside, find village stuff."
With the Giant down, things are quiet once more. Eventually you can find some of the supplies that weren't consumed or ruined that the villagers will be able to recover. It seems the Giant and his servants were setting up shop to take control of the area.
"I'm glad you did," Aya reassures Arisha. Or not, depending on interpetations. She then goes in with the others to look over the fortress of giant solitude.
"So am I. We'd have gotten pasted otherwise. Well....let's get this stuff back to the villagers." Arisha says after she cleans her pistol. "I definitely need to learn how to use this better." She says as she blows down the barrel to help clean it....
Kogger nods, "Tell village, them carry too. I am not big, no carry lot."
You get ahold of the villagers and they help take care of the bodies and recover the supplies. They pay you well for your help as well as a meal before you go and even give you a lift back to the city. All in all not a bad day's work.
