(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom [IC]

[Redclaw]

OOC: Does anyone recognize what type of giant he is?

Larian looks quickly at his companions and says, under his breath,spread out a bit, but don't look threatening in doing so.
He then turns back to the giant, Greetings Warklegnaw, we are simply travellers through your wood, on our way to Skull Gorge. I am sorry that we interrupted your meal.

(Nobody seems to know anything specific. Avril identifies that he's not a hill giant or stone giant, but she hasn't seen one like this before.)

Squinting still, the giant responds somewhat calm, "Mind your own business then and stay away from this place."

You can go around his camp by cutting through the woods a bit, headed towards skull gorge bridge if you want. He doesn't seem too hell-bent on getting up from his roasting boar, and he clearly seems to be content to ignore you all.

Avril takes the horses on a wide path away from the giant, following the path away from its lair. She listens to Larian speak, and then adds some words of her own. "Thank you for your kindness in allowing us passage past your home." She paused just to see the giant's reaction, before adding something else, "We would like to leave you with some news, if you will here it. I fear that it may affect your steading, your home. We go now to ascertain the truth of this news, as it affects all who dwell in the witchwood."

The giant doesn't seem to take too kindly to the continued conversation. "Leave me be. Go on!"

 

[Creamsteak]

I'll give it till tomorrow around noon or so to wait for anyone that wanted to post anything else regarding this brief encounter, after which point I'll move on.

 

[Redclaw]

Larian gently ushers the rest of the party past the giant's home in the direction he indicated. As he does so, he adds to Avril's comments. Truly, good Wartlegnaw, your home is soon likely to be crawling with goblins. They seem to be mounted a force to strike against the Vale. Do you have love for goblins, or would you be interested in helping us stop them before they enter your lands?

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren winces. To himself, he thinks 'why do they insist on jabbering on to a giant that clearly doesn't want to hear it?'

Outwardly, he tries to interrupt Larian by loudly saying "Let's just go already."

 

[Dalamar]

Siobhan had intended to just move around the giant as they had already had a less than pleasant encounter with one variety of giants for the day. But since the others had already engaged the giant, she might as well throw her voice in.
"It is as my companions say. We already defeated a warband that was using the old Vraath keep as its base of operations, but it seems they have a large army intent on marching over all of the Vale. Someone strong like yourself who knows the woods would be of great help in foiling their plans."

 

[Creamsteak]

He squints some more as the group walks away. He scratches some of his red sores and ponders a bit, yelling in response, "You goblins have already tried to persuade me. I won't leave this place."

 

[Redclaw]

I can understand your desire to stay here. It's a very nice place. I hope we can keep the goblins from taking it from you. Do you know if they were trying to talk anyone else into helping them?
