Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Zhure]

Our heroes have just finished a fearsome struggle against a dire bear, it's lifeblood still leaking upon the snow-clad ground outside the lair of a hill giant, on an unmapped island north of Drell. Part of the team, captured and inside a filthy abbatoir of the giant's have just now managed to dislodge the boulder serving as their primitive jail.

Dire Bear XP = 600 each for everyone.
Orc fleet = 900 XP for everyone.
Dire Bears and Orcs = 1800 XP for everyone
Deciphering the book = 1000 XP for everyone

Keith leaps off the dire bear, and makes a run for the cave, and slips into the cave, looking around, "Charlotte?! Charlotte?!" he calls out, his blading waving in a delicate dance, still bloody, with blood splatters across his face, and chest.

 

[GnomeWorks]

"Damn." Charlotte says, regarding the hole with awe. "We actually moved it..."

"Keith!" She exclaims excitedly when he enters the small cave. "Keith!... what the hell happened to you? You're a bloody mess!"

 

[Velenne]

"Well would you look at that! Amazing! And to think I wasted my Rope Trick spell when all we had to do was give it a great shove!"

Travellios looks around the cave for the giant, knowing that it must have heard the commotion if it was anywhere nearby.

"Ah, the reunion must wait I'm afraid. The giant could be returning at any moment..."

 

[Tokiwong]

"Damn." Charlotte says, regarding the hole with awe. "We actually moved it..."

"Keith!" She exclaims excitedly when he enters the small cave. "Keith!... what the hell happened to you? You're a bloody mess!"

"We just killed the giant's pet," Keith looks at his clothing and blade, "I am fine, how are you?" Keith moves close to Charlotte, "We can't find the giant though, damn I knew this was a bad idea, oh well, your alive, and I am thankful for that."

 

[GnomeWorks]

"I'm fine." Charlotte says. "Travellios started talking to the giant, but the giant wasn't too keen on that idea... we were both beat up pretty bad. Sildarin ran off to find you, though I think you know that part."

She looks him over more carefully. "Looks like it was quite a fight... is anyone else wounded? But Travellios is right... we should probably get out of here before we get into a long conversation."

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith pulls out his Wand of Cure Light Wounds, and uses it first on Charlotte, and then Travellios, "Here lets get out of here quickly..."

Use Magic Device rolls of 16, and 18 total, respectively for 6 hit points, and then 4 hit points respectively. Used up two charges.

 

[GnomeWorks]

"Thanks, Keith," Charlotte says, nodding, "but I really do think that we need to get out of here. If that giant were to come back right now... we should at least regroup with the others."

 

[Tokiwong]

"Thanks, Keith," Charlotte says, nodding, "but I really do think that we need to get out of here. If that giant were to come back right now... we should at least regroup with the others."

Keith gives an uncharesteristic smile to Charlotte, pats her on the shoulder, and moves for the entrance, "We should get out of her Sildarin did not find the giant, and the bear is dead, we better regroup, share info, and plan for the morrow. Lets move!" Keith addresses the group as a whole.

Prior to the curing, Travellios depended heavily on his staff in order to move at all. His entire right side where the giant had crushed him was swollen and broken. The scrapes and bruises he had endured being tossed into the giant's larder were numerous as well. After the curing, he still puts most of his weight on his staff and walks with an awkward limp, but the obvious bruises and cuts are gone.

"Ah, thank you. Yes, yes, we can share tales as we leave. Too bad the sneaky ones of the bunch couldn't stay around to investigate the cave. Without his bear I do not think the giant to be terribly alert to outside dangers."
