(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

Tenibor will use mage hand to untie any string (rope) attaching the mallet (maul) and then float it to his hands.

(OoC: Mage hand is just strong enough to carry a maul.)

Bible took her time getting to the top to join the others. By then, Tenibor had gently lifted the alarm gong's mallet off its hook, and floated it to himself. Valdra was ready in case either giant woke up, standing partway between them.

Jack had gone a little way down the stairs, which were three flights of fifteen feet each, with landings between each. The stairs were giant-sized, and he had to hop quietly down each step. He squeezed his way past the sleeping giantess's very fat knees and discovered two pieces of bad news: There was a third giant, who blocked the second landing, also dozing, there on the stairs.

The second piece of bad news were the ogres. Partway down, the stairs were open to the gatehouse - he could see all the way to the main gate, as well as the main doors and servant's doors of the steading. Across the floor of the gatehouse, which was stacked with crates and barrels, were four ogres. They were who he'd heard when he'd listened at the main gate. They were drinking, arguing, and gambling by throwing carved bones onto crudely-drawn squares on the gatehouse floor.

OOC: Here's where everyone is at. I had to move the watchtower off of the stairs so we could see what's there. Jack is duplicated to show his position on both. From the watchtower you can't see into the gatehouse (roof is in the way) but you can from the stairs once you get past the first landing. The owl is Quinn, flying back from checking out that chimney above him.

~There’s a regular happy hour down here~ growled Jack telepathically.

~I’m not supposin’ any of you up there found a better way in? Otherwise this is going to get messy - fast.~

OOC: Jack will stay where he is to keep an eye on the giant and ogres, even though crouching near the knees of the passed out giant is not his idea of a good time.

Still looking for evidence of a kitchen and seeing Quinn flying up to the tower, Bible dons her shield and asks telepathically, "Did you see anything interesting flying over the farmhouse, Quinn? Like, did any of those chimneys smell like there was food cooking down there?"
 

A tense moment occurred when the standing giant suddenly yawned and shifted his head to the other-side, leaning his massive weight on the railing, which groaned but held.

OOC: If you're going to move on from here, you might want to do it quickly. PWoT covers your footfalls, but it's not exactly a silence spell.
 

Quinn circles the smokeless chimney.

It looks like there is no smoke coming from this chimney. There is a good chance the room below is empty.

He flys back over to the others.

I think we can go down that one and be fairly safe from detection.
 


Tenibor will carefully peak down.

Is the stairwell open (like in the map?) Can we use a rope or just climb down/around to avoid the lower sleeping giant?

Yes, but then you would be in the guardhouse in sight of the ogres. The stairs are open to be seen once you get below the guard house roof, only obscured by supporting cross-beams.
