[QUOTE="pogre, post: 2285332, member: 6588"] Zandyrium Episode 44 Githrldul reached for an arrow with accustomed expertness, and then, thought better of it. He began flying back down to his comrades as the blast of the Aurochs’ horn sounded through the complex. “What happened?” Wassabe asked. “I thought you knew how to handle giants?” “One of them caught my scent who was hidden in the gate tower,” the ranger was clearly vexed. “I’ll go get them,” Zerstorung volunteered. The mighty Norsican half-orc heaved his scythe over his shoulder and headed for the road. “Hold!” Wassabe called out, “I have a better idea. Let us retire to the woods and make camp. Tonight we will make a fire, a really large fire, and I bet someone will come investigate.” “Oddly enough, I like it,” Mercutio smirked. “I will set a trap for them,” Githraldul volunteered. The ranger set off to the edge of the woods trying to discover the most likely path investigators might take to the camp. He carefully constructed an arrangement of concealed branches, vines, and shallow holes for his trap. He returned to help the others construct the bonfire. “Will your trap kill them?” Zerstorung asked. “No, hopefully it just trips them to give us an advantage,” Githraldul answered. “Good,” Zerstorung replied grimly. A dark smile crept crossed his scar-creased face. ….. Wassabe piled wood on a tremendous fire as the rest of the party took up positions near Githraldul’s carefully constructed trap. Like moths to a flame the Giants came out of the fortress and walked down the ramp towards the woods. “What’s floating next to the front two?” Ginny asked Mercutio in hushed tones. “Scry sensers,” Mercutio answered. The giants lumbered forward and Githraldul’s trap worked perfectly as the front two fell flat on their faces. The party leapt upon the floundering giants. Mercutio unleashed fireballs, Ginny and Githraldul shot a hail of arrows at them, and Thoren and Zerstorung smote them with mighty swings. In less than ten seconds all three giants were dead. “Well someone got a good show,” Mercutio commented. “What do you mean?” Wassabe asked. “Yes, I saw them too,” Justinius said. “Scry sensers.” “Scry this!” Wassabe gave an obscene gesture towards the dead giants. “It’s gone Wassabe,” Mercutio said. “What now?” Ginny asked. “Let’s head for the door before they recruit some new guardians,” Heinrich suggested. “Who are [I]they[/I]?” Thoren asked. “We’re going to find out,” Wassabe answered.
