S50 Recap: Dark Drop Demolition

General Summary

Hey so y'all know those temporary hit points and advantage on saving throws y'all got last session? > Party: Yeah? > DM: Get rid of them. > Party: aww ☹ > Standard Watch Shifts are now Nova+Kirin(#TeamTails, #EmotionallyRepressedDuo), Romad+Seranas(#Songbows), & Corayas+Isati(#TeamCinnamonSmol, #MonoclassMages) > The moonless night puts Nova on edge with memories of that first beast encounter all those months ago but first watch passes without issue > Second watch is taken up by practicing healthier communication and some last minute stargazing > Moth Dream Time! > The Fallen Exile shows up looking just a tad frazzled > “Remember that friend I told you about a little while ago? Well he's gotten in a bit over his head so he'll be dropping in on all of you in a little bit and I just thought I'd give you a heads up.” > #PunsPunsPuns > So anyways Isati snaps awake just in time for the wind of warning the punks had heard once before to sound and what had previously been thought a falling star to crash into the ground at full speed (and turn out to be a very handsome tiefling man made of marble!) > #NewFriends! #BadNewsBreeze > However there's little time for questions as not even a second later a 18 foot tall cloud giant touches down in the middle of everyone ☺ > ROLL INITIATIVE! > #Round1 > Nova stands up uncertain of who's side they're on & just readies a retaliation > Isati takes to the wing and makes two #EldritchBlasts to kick things off > Irati drags a still groggy Gwyf into the darkness before he can get any bright ideas as the giant brings a massive morning star down once each on Kirin and Kor for some big hurty (Kor got crit here too) > #BalancingEncountersIsHardOk? > Serenas and Kirin both hunter's mark and snipe at the giant, Kirin also dips into the dark > #ShadeStriding > New Friendo makes his shortswords into a big fuckoff hammer and proceeds to kneecap a bitch > #Hammertime #UsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou > Also Romad very nearly gets crushed by the falling giant but sidesteps without issue > Some fucking weird ass antler birds swoop in now and gore up Serenas a nyoink > #Flyby > One tries for Nova too but is momentarily confused by their similar antlers and #GetsGot when Nova retaliates with the blessing of the war god > #DiceCamWhen?/lh > Knick-Knack goes back to sleep > #You'veGotThis #It'llBeFine > Corayas lets loose some lightning at a peryton > #CauseI'mLoud > Romad chooses ultimate violence and goes for the eye, dealing some serious damage and popping that puppy out! > Gwyf can quite clearly be heard from the darkness making noises of excitement and disgust > #Round2 > Nova goes for an old favourite with the #SwishSwishBish and another wargod blessing > #SeriouslyHowTheFuck > Isati starblasts the perytons from the shadows as the cloud giant misty steps off the ground and lays into Kor with a heavy hit and another crit (!!!) > #JadeDiceCamWhen? > Needless to say the marble man gets a bit dusted > #KO'dKorKhaltan > NovaHasOnlyHadTheHandsomeTieflingManForTwelveSecondsButIfAnythingHappensToHimThey'dKillEveryoneInvolvedAndThenGod.png > Serenas whispers some spooky magic words at the giant before sending some inspirational vibes to Kirin > Kirin drops and recasts hunter's mark complete with spooky shadow tendrils this time > #HotGirlShit > Kor is still knocked the fuck out but makes his first death save (barely) > #Successes1 #Fails0 > Peryton crits on their gore attack against the downed Kor even though it would've been an autocrit anyways > #SeriouslyHowTheFuck #Who'sSideAreTheWarGodsOnAnyways? #ExtraBastards > #Successes1 #Fails2 > The peryton is also trying to pull the gauntlets off Kor's hands with little luck > Meanwhile the other peryton divebombs Corayas before fucking off into the dark because it is looking rough > Corayas takes this opportunity to imbue himself with even more energy by casting dragon's breath on himself and belching some lightning at the big boi > #LickinBatteries > And finally Romad rounds out the round by slinging firebolts and inspiring Kor > #WakeTheFuckUpMyDude > And That's Where We'll Pick Up Next Week!
