[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 9462686, member: 1125"] So some answers from Kahru's perspective (my recall) including a possible overview of factions [spoiler] Kahru is being cautious - hence saying we'd free those who the elf Tamanar could vouch for. The other prisoners didnt know who the voice behind the door was and theres no key, so suspcions raised Kahru does know that Doc the gunman is an [I]Unnatural eldritch something[/I], so if the voice behind the door is something Doc recognises then Kahru says we abandon it for the giants to deal with. It's apparent (to Kahru at least) that the Orcs in the kitchens and Orcs in the caves are also abused slaves of the giants, and in the Barbarians estimation they're a bit pathetic. Now Kahru doesnt like tyranny but he also only respects those who are willing to fight for their freedom - so fyi if the Orcs [I]choose to fight[/I] for their freedom, Kahru [I]will[/I] support them. yes [B]Nosra is dead[/B] and so are a few other leading Hill giants, We could abandon the mission and claim the prize but the remaining Hill giants and ogres in the Steading are still a threat to public safety and we did promise to free the prisoners ([U]two goals achieved)[/U]. [B]Also[/B] What we also discovered on infiltrating the Steading was that there were other giant emissaries in the Steading besides Hill Giants. These Stone Giants are digging and have made a truce with us (which we broke by coming back). There is also a Fire Giant (or 2?) that was in the Forge but has now taken command of the Steading. Earlier there were also Cloud giants but they have left (and Kahru has now pledged service to the Cloud Giant Lord Thyffon who has asked him to "[B]find out if there is any outside influence to this Alliance of Giants."[/B] [B][I]So factions I am aware of:[/I][/B] A. Lord Faldur at the Cairn <- Quest giver B. The Human Soldiers attacking the gate < - a useful distraction, but mutiny?? C. [B]the Hill Giants, Fire Giants (Ogres and Bugbears)[/B] < - these are the bad guys D. the Stone Giants and Cloud Giants? < - these guys are Neutral but still giants and thus have no love for us small folk E. the Orc servants < - abused, probably slaves F. Tamanar and the Prisoners < - almost free/[I]Hierlings :)[/I] G. ?? Some Outside Influence < - Lord Thyffons mission H. There is a weird purple glowing altar that iirc Doc explored ([I]I don't remember if Doc told the rest of us about it or not[/I]) Oh and apparently theres a Dragon under the Steading somewhere too [I] [/I][/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
