"$%&!" Bible exclaims as rocks pummel Valda. Seeing the armored giant approaching quickly, she moves her enlarged form toward the gap between Valda and the fallen chieftess and leaps toward her enemy. Landing in front of her armored foe, she strikes twice with Waythe. Bible moves to AQ53/AR54...

I think a good title for the entire series would be something like Mistress's Gambit because the situation generally hangs on the machinations of Eclavdra, mistress of House Eilservs. Perhaps even better, both because it's slightly more evocative and because it works in the D/G of the series, is...

Yes, it's nice to see it being stated explicitly. I award inspiration in my D&D 5.0 games. I think it works best when treated something like a compel in Fate, if you’re familiar with that system. As DM, I make it one of my main jobs to present situations that test/are adverse to the PCs’...

Bible strides into the room as she grows to ten and a half feet in height and over a thousand pounds. ::Behold!:: she calls out in a booming voice, standing a few paces behind the chieftess, where she can be seen by Nosnra and the Stone Giant emissary, and holding aloft Waythe in one hand. ::I...

Bible takes a gulp. First gulp: 1D6 = [4] = 4 "Nothin'!" She takes another gulp. Second gulp: 1D6 + 1 = [2]+1 = 3 "Still nothin'!" She takes a third gulp. Third gulp: 1D6 + 2 = [6]+2 = 8 "Bingo! Now I'll show 'em what for!" she says as she flexes her suddenly bulging bicep. Sorry...

Bible tries the strength potion even though she's already very strong.

Unless @Shadowedeyes objects, can we assume Valda is using the dwarven shield (even though we don't yet know what it does)? Also, I just wanted to remind everyone there are three doses of the "growth" potion left (Bible took one) which mimics the effects of the enlarge spell, so if your...

In the default cosmology I like to use, giants (and titans) are the offspring of primordials who begat them for the purpose of contesting with the "gods", spirits from outside creation, who sought to subdue and shape the world according to their will. Once defeated, the giants withdrew to the...

"Hmm," Bible says, picking up the bottle and examining the rune. "This says it's for 'growth'. Who want's to show these gianks they ain't the only bigs in town? Arf arf arf!" "Thisk buys your freedom lass. Now be gone with you!" she says to the giantess and her servant, pointing towards the...

As she waits for Jack to pick the lock, Bible eyes the dwarven shield. "Valda," she calls out, "you might want to use this shield in the fight to come. I'd use it myself, but as I'll be usin' Waithe, I wouldn't get no use out of it."

As she walks towards the chests, Bible adds to the giantess, "If the treasure is enough to buy a ship for me to go orf in search of my cap'n, then you will have earned your ransom."

No worries! It seems I was asking you to "reveal" something about her that isn't there. "Ja talk common speech," Bible says with surprise to the frightened giant, "a sign of your superior edumacation, no doubt! Le's see what treasure your pappy's got in his chesks, shall we?" Bible makes her...

I was trying to be more subtle, but maybe this will help move things along. Assuming the young giant is Nosnra's daughter, Bible makes a last effort to glean some information. ::There, there, my dear,:: she says consolingly, looking around the room at the blood and gore of the fallen giants...

Also, @Lidgar, you're at the doors at the southwest corner of the room, right? I'm pretty sure from comparing the maps that have been posted that the chief's hall is through the pair of doors at the center of the room.

What about the prisoner? I was waiting for some kind of resolution. Is it just "nothing to see here - move along"? Also, I think we're in Nosnra's bedchamber. Don't you think it's worth a quick look around? I was hoping the prisoner might help with that as well, but she hasn't responded, and...

I'm not using 5.2 because I like 5.0 better, not because nothing can be better, but because it's better for me.

Hearing the druid's offer of healing from across the room while maintaining eye contact with the surrendering giantess, Bible responds in a low voice from the side of her mouth, "I can't say I ain't felt better, Quinn." Bible AC18 HP 31/94 HD 10/10 PP16 2W 1/1 AS 1/1 Ind 1/1

Bible wipes the gore from Weythe's blade onto her wool skirt and approaches the young giant and her servant. ::Well done, my love,:: Bible addresses the giant-girl with endearment. ::You've done right to surrender and to avoid more fightin' and bloodshed. An act that befiks one of high birth...

I think it’s meant to reflect these are characters of 7th to 18th level who have survived the lower levels (at least in some part) because of their natural giftedness.

The "Music of the Valar" was the verbal component of the original spell, which created the world. The gods, who have intimate knowledge of the music, having sung it themselves, can directly empower and implant mortals with their insight, which is what's called divine magic, or mortals can...
