The screams of something shattering and men screaming could be very distantly heard. Evenly spaced, deep vibrations shook the crag. Vek readied his favorite spell. Nanny prepared his battleaxe. Orthos said a prayer to Moradin: “May I smite the beast, and die well, or be stricken by your hammer.”A hand roughly twenty feet wide rose up from the sharp drop-off where the crag began its almost thousand-foot descent. It slammed to the ground before them and pulled the rest of the creature up. Gangizth the Titan was a monstrous green scaled creature with yellow eyes the size of wagon wheels. Its maw was filled with hundreds of tiny, glittering teeth. In its other hand it clutched a spear, that could only have been the mast of a sunken galleon. It roared, and the sound filled the world. Everyone readied for battle. Kizzlorn was first to strike, and she said one word and made one gesture. The creature stopped. Its skin turned a mottled grey-green. Its roar died in its throat as it turned all to stone. Cracks and pits ran down its surface, and then, it was all solid rock. The other Knights looked at Kizzlorn with a wide-eyed stare. She stared back at them, just as unbelieving. The titan had been defeated by one simple spell of FLESH TO STONE? The weight of the creature couldn’t be supported by its brittle stone arms. It began crumbling. Its pieces fell into the sea below in a shower of rock and dust. Only its colossal clawed hand remained at the top of the crag, flattened against the rock like a squashed spider. “Is it over,” Jamison asked. Orthos shrugged. “Uh… certainly looks like it.”“Was it really weak, do you think?”Kizzlorn said “I think I just got lucky, and happened upon something it had little or no defense against right away. Everything has a weakness.”Jamison paused then said “Yeah, but… but it was a TITAN.”No one could do anything but shrug and wonder at it all.</blockquote>
