Earth's form shifts. Pointy rocks protrude from within the warforged, and small clouds started gathering around the recently emerged peaks. Static electricity builds up, and discharges lightnings from Earth.
Charged up like that, he surges forward towards the clustered ettins, lifting his elecrified hammer in the air, and smashing it down on the giants. Lightning arcs from his dread body to electrocute the ettins.

*Kauldron continues to press the advantage. The slippery goblin darts off to the other side of the giant as Dox distracts him with hefty blows. Kauldron ignites another brand of pain and sears the massive giant with his blades as they connect with the giants backside. Keeping the giant from truly being any threat in combat against the pair of them there.*

[MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION]: Everyone's gone, right?

With your combined might, you manage to hobble the ettins. They try to escape, but are too hindered to flee or fight effectively. Soon all is quiet as the ettins lay dead before you.

A quick search of the camp reveals mostly half-rotted bedding and foodstuff that are better left unidentified. But the shaman had a pouch of gold and the hunter a sturdy rope that appears to be magical.

GM:

Since you guys are well behind the other group and the ettins are well under control, I'm calling the fight. Feel free to rest up before you continue.

GM:

I could use some suggestions for treasure for the rest of the adventure. The available magic item parcels are from level 10 to 12. I generally won't give out +3 enhancement items to heroic characters however.

I plan to retire Tarkus after this adventure - pacifist cleric was fun for a while, but it's too one note - so any treasure he gets is immaterial.

[sblock=Treasure]An upgrade to Dox's current focus is high on the list. After that, cool things that give better grabbing synergy.[/sblock]

Dox takes a moment to rest up, the unassumingly states, We have an appointment at the top of the mount, do we not? He is ready to go with the others.

JoeNotCharles · Apr 13, 2012

As the giants fall, Tarkus at last has a spare moment to wipe the soot out of his eyes and gaze on the enemies they just defeated. "Is anyone hurt?" he asks brusquely.
