He did not have the stomach for such duplicity, better the honesty of predator and prey than these honeyed words and double meanings! Still there was little he could do from here but trust in the Colonel and the young lordling, even whilst he scowled at talk of manipulating minds - even if it saved lives?Kahru watched the giants of the Crag as they waited, armed and ready, only the hill giant sinking back against a wall,  the reputation earned at Nosra's Steading had surely proceeded them and that might be of use. The Northerner could also see the way Utharn held himself as he engaged in the parlay - rigid at first, then shifting, doubt and hesitation melting into reluctant resolve as he escorted the delegation away from the gates and let his concerns be known.Lord Thyffon has said that there was more to this Alliance of Giants than met the eye, outside interference, and it seemed the same duplicity and betrayal had infected the Howling Crag too; the thanes sister, Ogremochs priest, the Frost giant emissary and a group of smaller folk - dwarfs, humans and serpent-kind? Kahru had heard of them, but had not thought he would encounter one, he would need to be alert.It was time to move, to take up arms against these troubles and his instinct had been to enter via the south tower and thus Vadasz had been sent to the Southwest opening to observe. But Utharn had said the south tower was the children's space, and even though they be 10 ft tall, the Barbarian Druid resolved to do them no harm.Instead, he slipped back towards the gorge, making sure to watch the positions of the frost hawk as he moved.  Vadasz gave a shrill cry into the wind when the Roc Rider swoop down on the delegation moving down the trail. Kahru darted out, using the distraction to manoeuvre himself across the cliffs taking time to rejoin the others amongst the rocks of the old avalanche.  Then finding trails that the others could follow up towards the north tower.  He did consider that taking the form of a giant eagle would allow him to carry another, but then he would also be a bigger target for the Roc, and he did not want to face the mighty bird if he could avoid it...[ooc]Quick Stats<table style='width: 764px'><tr><td>AC 15</td><td>HP 92/92</td><td>HD 11/11</td><td>PP 17</td><td>Spell DC 15</td></tr><tr><td>WildShape 2/3</td><td>Rage 3/3</td><td>Warrior of Spirits 4/4</td><td>Staff 7/7</td><td>Spells - 4/4 2/3 3/3</td></tr></table>[/ooc]</blockquote>
