Turo answers Keldar, his voice too a whisper. "I agree. We do not even know if this creature is evil. Despite my dislike for giants, slaying it without knowing would not sit well with me. I am not diplomat, though, so someone else will have to do the talking."

Ha ha ha! Come on, Thanee...you know in the old days the game designers didn't even think about that!

“I can probably use one of my cantrips for the wake-up call,” Allyra says as she makes herself ready to cast Prestidigitation.
“I think something is missing...”“Yeah, a dragon, every module needs a dragon...”“A dragon! Cool!”“Yeah!”“But where do we place him?”“Maybe here?”“Nah, that's too small. Dragons need some room.”“Ah, right. Look! This room is huge.”“That will do.”“But the doors are so small, he cannot get in or out.”“Maybe he lived there since he hatched?”“That makes sense. But what does he eat?”“Adventurers!”“Ha ha ha!”“Cool!”

Turo bites his lip, and readies for combat. He quickly calls to mind a spell to calm the creatures emotions, but hopes that it is not needed and that the brute is at least willing to talk.

The sleepy giant turns around surprised, he is sure ugly. The creature is deformed and disfigured. One ear is larger then the other, the hands are asymmetric and other misshapen bulbs and weird stuff grows over the creature's skin.
He opens his mouth to speak in anger.
giant
Heh ... what's this? Tiny folk from the outside world, it’s been long time since I crushed those!
He stretch his hand, trying to reach a huge flail, you never saw such a big flail before, the size of his weapon is as big as Keldar himself.

Sorry, I keep missing the updates for this thread.
Turo shakes his head. "I'm afraid not." Then he turns to face the large creature. "Calm yourself. We are not here to do battle. We seek your aid."

“Apparantly, this fellow isn't interested in a conversation...”
Allyra then completes a swift arcane gesture and a large and aggressive ape with black fur appears behind the giant, immediately launching an attack.

So should Turo try Calm Emotions so we can try to talk to the giant, or do you think that is a waste of efforts?

Turo points at the giant, and calls upon his ties to Garl Glittergold and the gnomish community in an attempt to calm and pacify the brute.

The giant shakes his head and lower the great spiky club. Thought, he is no longer aggressive, he is indeed remained hostile. He motion wildly in the air with his fist and bare his disarrayed teeth with anger.
giant
Go away humans, I have no desire to fight so don't tempt me.

Turo frowns, but it is quite apparent that neither he nor his companions speak the giant's language. So instead, he begins another prayer, asking the blessed Garl Glittergold for the ability to speak in tongues. His spell cast, the gnome steps forward and addresses the brute in its native language.
