The Giant's Map:

The Ice Monster

New Day Begins

•  Al predicts a cold front in a couple of days.
• The party sees nothing with their perception rolls.
• We are suddenly attacked by an ice monster of mysterious origins. It opens its surprise attack with a horrible cone of cold that freezes  LE,  Kaleesarynn, and  Stein in ice.
•  Kaleesarynn releases  LE, herself and  Stein from the ice with a dimension door.
•  Al summons a huge Air Elemental which flies over to the ice monster and engulfs it in a whirlwind, smashing it against the nearby rocks and obscuring it from sight.
•  Al realizes that the Air Elemental is no longer listening to his commands, so he quickly dismisses it before it can cause any problems.
•  Al moves behind the ice monster which turns out to be a painful move as it slams him once during AoO and four more times with a full attack.
•  Quinalin finally manages to scramble close enough to him and cuts him down with a power attack.
•  Quinalin notices that the ice monster is regenerating, so  LE kills off the last of its HP with another fireball.
• After the battle,  Kaleesarynn is able to use her mask to determine that it was an Ice Yai Oni. It’s an oni that moved into the body of an ice giant, and is able to turn invisible at will.

Foiled ambush, take 2!

New Day Begins

•  Al works some weather magic to protect the party from the storm and to hide us from being seen from enemies while we’re encamped.

New Day Begins

• That night,  Stein and  Mose are on watch when they hear furtive, deep-throated whispers. The party is awakened by  Stein.
•  Al investigates as an air elemental and discover that a group of 6 stone giants and 1 cloud giant are attempting to find and ambush the party. He decides to spring the trap early and confuse them.
• Notable battle events:
  •  Mose charges out of the encampment and is immediately mobbed by giants.
  •  Kaleesarynn dominates two stone giants, which she named Mark and Joe. We’ll have them for the next 11 days.
  •  Al encases the cloud giant and 3 stone giants in a wall of thorns, which they never really make it out of before being killed.
  •  LE gives the cloud giant and one stone giant terrible remorse, and they proceed to hit themselves in the head repeatedly.
  •  Stein busts out his holy sword and does a mighty amount of damage to one of the stone giants, killing it as dead as the stone it was named for.
  •  Quinalin crits the crap out of a stone giant for 87 damage, finishing off what   Grrrllwofrowffgrr started.

Loot!

• Philosophical treatise written in Giant, well-worn and hand-annotated (10gp, 5lbs)
• A pair of well-worn knucklebones x2
• Waterskin filled with wine (being carried by stone giants)
• 4 masterwork throwing stones (Mark and Joe, our dominated stone giants are carrying these)
