[QUOTE="pogre, post: 2350012, member: 6588"] Zandyrium Episode 51 The combat against the four Frost Giants highlighted the adventurers’ deadly abilities. In under ten seconds all four Frost Giants were felled to the cavern floor, bleeding out. The adventurers continued exploring the caverns and found two other similar barracks areas. “I would say they were just here,” Githraldul remarked. “They know we’re here,” Wassabe said. “It seems likely,” Githraldul replied. “We should expect them to mass for one stand against us.” “Good, they will fall like saplings before my axe,” Thoren stated. Cautiously, the group pressed on until they came to a large chamber where Githraldul’s prediction came to fruition. [URL=http://www.pogre.com/5003_12_fire_giants.jpg][IMG]http://www.pogre.com/5003_12_fire_giants_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] “Hold your ground,” Justinius commanded, “Make them come to us.” Thoren charged. “Damn it!” Wassabe cursed and charged after the big hunter. The casters began pouring fire-based spells into the giants – fireballs exploded and divine fire was called down on them. The giants closed on Wassabe and Thoren. Two of the larger ones ran Wassabe and Thoren over respectively while the others dished out damage with their weapons. The two fighters were near death in under five seconds. Wassabe slashed with his weapons from his prone position. This tactic proved to be particular effective as the nearby giants were more concerned about a possible severed achilles tendon than finishing the swashbuckler off. [URL=http://www.pogre.com/5004_fire_giant_combat.jpg][IMG]http://www.pogre.com/5004_fire_giant_combat_th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Another round of fire spells had a devastating effect on the giants and they began withering under the magical fire. The few giants left fought on, but it was clear their hearts were not in it. Thoren and Wassabe managed to hold on as their comrades rushed in to finish the giants. “Do we need to rest?” Mercutio asked. The clerics were attending to the wounds of Wassabe and Thoren. “I am fine for now, but another fight like that and I will be tapped,” Heinrich admitted. “We have to keep pushing,” Wassabe stated. “They know they have an invader. If we stop now they will be even more organized and might even murder Loremaster Grimmson.” “I agree,” Dar piped up, “We must push on.” ***** Deep in the Frost Giant Jarl’s lair – “How much longer?” the Jarl growled at the Loremaster. “I just received the uberstahl,” Loremaster Grimsson complained, “This is not an overnight process. It will take time to make a breastplate of this size with the enchantments you are wanting.” “You do not have time dwarf!” the Jarl yelled. “Threatening me is not going to make this happen any faster Jarl,” Loremaster Grimsson replied. “Get back to the forge,” the Jarl barked. “Gladly,” Loremaster Grimsson replied. As the dwarf turned to leave an ogre entered the Jarl’s throne room and whispered something to the king. “Dwarf!” the Jarl bellowed. “Yes?” Loremaster Grimsson replied. “I have received word that there are invaders. You had better hope they have nothing to do with you or you will not be worrying about my breastplate,” the Jarl snarled. ***** Meanwhile, somewhere on the ocean just North-east of the Thraegian coast… “What would cause a whirlpool like that?” Mate Henson asked. “Good question Mate Henson,” Captain Isomara responded, “It was not natural.” “Sorcery?” Henson asked. “I should think so,” Captain Isomara said, “It seemed to be gaining strength too. I am grateful we did not happen upon it two or three days hence.” “What’s our progress there sailor?” Mate Henson called to a man on the forecastle. “Slow sir,” the sailor replied, “The whirlpool must have disrupted the current.

We might be better off tacking and using what little wind there is.” “Aye,” Mate Henson replied to the sailor. “What do you think Captain?’ “Go fetch Ferguson and tell him to bring that wand. We need to make some progress.” “Aye Captain.” ***** “I call this meeting of the Emperor’s Council to order,” Lord Heliophos announced. “Where is the Lord Protector?” a Lancing noble asked Bishop Polariate in a whisper. “Called away in the field I’m afraid.

The first item is who shall be Vizier to the future emperor?” “The temporary governing council does have a recommendation my lord,” Bishop Polariate stated. Lord Heliophos nodded indicating he wished for the Bishop to continue. “The council nominates Lord Krovon and recommends him to the council for this position,” the Bishop said. Lord Heloiphos stood and asked, “What say you Lord Krovon?” “Due to failing health and a heavy heart I must decline,” Lord Krovon said. The council burst into a chaotic uproar at Lord Krovon's decline. To be continued… [/QUOTE]
