Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I've been reconsidering how spell exhaustion works, but, yes: one more level 1 spell or two level 0 spells before you're slowed and/or KO'd. Secondly, Virtue only gives bonus HP. Also, maybe tone down the accent a little bit in the future, Zackeus, starting to get difficult to read with all the warbling lol))

Ezarix

You attempt to land a devastating blow to the Ettin while balancing yourself on its shoulders. (High Challenge Rating)

19! Success! (Wow)

You deal a staggering blow to the ettin's left head, driving your spearhead through its skull. The other head spasms in response and lets out a horrible scream and swings at you though you narrowly manage to dodge the heavy handed attack, while keeping your footing.

The beast has become enraged now and is on its feet again, now angrily attempting to get at the attacker on its back.

Litaria & Azlok

Azlok casts Cure Light Wounds on Litaria!
Litaria is now Uninjured

Litaria attempts to cast Dancing Lights on the enraged Ettin!

10. Roll Failed.

The Ettin is far too angry to be distracted now and an armored goblin pushes its way past the beast as it closes the distance between you. Azlok prevents its advance due to his position and gains the first initiative against the Armored Goblin!

The beast was enraged, and Ezarix was in a terrible location to be dealing with it's full focus. However, this was his only chance to get in another attack edge-wise. He narrowly dodged the last attack and instinct kicked in to counter attack on the other head. He raised his spear once more and thrust it toward the other head.

Action: Stab towards the Eye of the Right head.

"Ha! Take That!" Azlok shouted as he felt the resistance fall to his force, and the resounding clang of damage echo through. Azlok knew he couldn't let up though, he needed to finish this quickly to defend Litaria to his best abilities. He tightened his grip around his mace and swung at the goblin's side.

Action:Swing mace at goblin's side.

Litaria panted and gasped as magical exhaustion began to consume her. Black dots danced at the edges of her vision. She only had enough energy left for one more spell--two, if she conserved her energy. She ran through her options and decided to cast Ray of Frost. Hopefully slowing the ettin's movements would help the elf on its back, and then if he fell she might be able to cast Feather Fall with the last of her energy. As she cast, she prayed that her spell wouldn't be a waste, and that she wouldn't completely collapse when she was done. If she were to faint outright, she would only become a greater liability to everyone else.

Action: Cast Ray of Frost at the ettin

Unbelievably, Ezarix managed to land without harm after falling off the beast. He tried to regain his composure after landing in case the Ettin decided to step on him. To his amazement, the creature started clawing it's face, which was encased in Ice. It looked like he might be sharing the wine sooner than he thought with Litaria. He began to assess the next threat as the Ettin was already falling down.

The Dwarf was facing off against an Armored foe that managed to dodge his last attack and even counter-attack. It was most likely the Goblin General. He started to run toward it with his spear at the ready.

Action: Use Power Attack on Armored Goblin.

Litaria stared at her hands, unable to believe that her spell had succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. A moment later, Azlok's infuriated shout brought her back to her senses, though only slightly. Her every movement felt like she was encased in jelly, and her mind processed events as if through a thick fog.

Azlok had been slightly injured by the armored goblin, though, and Litaria felt she owed him at least some thanks for keeping her safe while she cast her spells. She didn't have the energy left to do anything for his injury (and didn't know the spell for it, even if she did), but there was still something she could do. Her hand wandered down to her waist, where her trusty dagger still hung.

As Ezarix--who Litaria had to admit she had newfound respect for, after he'd so boldy climbed an ettin--rushed to help Azlok, Litaria hoped that they would provide a sufficient distraction and began trying to sneak behind the armored goblin to see if she could backstab it.

Action: Try to stab the armored goblin in the back.

Azlok smiled grandly as the goblin had to try to keep oriented. He also saw the two other allies begin attacking the beast, and only then noticed that the Ettin had fallen. This reinforced Azlok's thoughts that the fight was winnable and near over. "Ha! Yer giant has fallen, yet yeh continue to fight. I knew goblins were dumb, but yeh take it to a new low 'commander'," he berated the beast verbally. He had his left bicep ready to pull the shield up at a moments notice, but he wanted the creature to focus on him. The other two could kill it, if he kept it distracted. "Sorry, does yer head hurt from my tap? Ha! If ye can't take that, how will you stand against an army?" he asked the goblin, gesturing around him to show the comander the other dead goblin corpses on the battlefield. Including the goblins being killed by other soldiers at this moment.

With all this said and his heart in the right place, he remembered the disrespected soldier's body in the tower. The one the goblins had continued to smash, after the soul had already left. He reached down and picked up the goblins he had killed. He lifted it high as he could so that all could see it. "Look at yer soldiers, 'captain'," he continued. The dead body was then dropped from Azlok's hands, landing with a loud thud on the ground. Rigor mortis had already set in, so the body did not change it's pose.

Action: Demoralize the captain and force the goblins to flee, or taunt the captain into attacking only Azlok.
