Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hairy Minotaur" data-source="post: 2090960" data-attributes="member: 11574">New elf smell deodorant!Korg tucks Finrod under his arm and leaps off the bluff's top, landing on his feet the giant races towards Paquito and Gronar's location. Finrod's broken ribs ache with pain, but his nose takes the brunt of the beating, as Korg's arm pit stench enshrouds the elf in a veil of funk. Korg reaches the other large members of the party, and deposits Finrod on the ground. The others watch Finrod retch up breakfast and then grab his side with pain."Gronar not impressed with Elfy vomit, Gronar not know why Elfy think that hurt." Gronar comments naively on Finrod's condition."Well, looks like we've have to climb. No?" Paquito says peering into the tower's opening"Duh, Pokey think Gronar going to fly up tower?" Gronar responds"Korg can fly! Elfy temple give Korg these magical boots for free!" Korg says excitedly"Those are Benat's, not yours, and they weren't given freely to you. We're supposed to keep them until she comes back." Paquito says"Korg not know about that, Korg know he got magic boots." Korg says with a smile, as he hefts Finrod off the ground and pulls back the curtain serving as a door for the tower."Korg fly Elfy up to top of tower, Elfy shoot all the Piggies, Korg take all the shinys from dead Piggies." Korg says as he activates the boots and begins to ascend the tower. Gronar takes one look at Paquito and thinks he sees greed in the minotaur's eyes. Gronar enters the tower with a running start, and begins his climb up the spiraling stairwell. Paquito shrugs his shoulders and figures he'll wait for the giants to come back down. While he waits, an arrow streaks down and lands near his feet, this spurs the bullman into action and he too goes racing up the stairwell inside the tower. Nameroc casts Bull's Strength on his bear, and commands it to wade into battle with the advancing floating wormlike creature. The bear races sixty feet down the gorge and stops under the worm, however it floats just a little too high for the bear to reach, even standing on it's hind legs. Nameroc decides he needs some aerial assistance, and summons a giant eagle, who appears above the worm. Nameroc instructs it to attack, and the large bird dives claws first into the flank of the thing. The giant eagle rakes into the flesh of the creature, and black liquid gushes from the wound, spilling across the ground beneath it. Nameroc watches the worm thing flex it's maw, and his summoned birds screeching goes silent. Thinking the bird dead or worse, Nameroc prepares to cast call lightening, however he sees that the bird is doing just fine. Nameroc assumes a silence effect was laid forth by the worm thing, and thinks twice about wasting his spell. The giant eagle circles above the floating worm, and dives again, claws outstretched, this time however it's aim is not to injure. The bird hooks it's claws into the worm and attempts to fly away with it's prey in hand. The giant eagle climbs for thirty feet before stopping in midair. Knowing Eagle don't hover, Nameroc fears the worst, and looks on with disappointment as the worm disappears. With the lack of support, the paralyzed giant eagle falls to the valley floor below and perishes. Nameroc calls to his bear and turns to towards the gorge exit. He moves steadily waiting for his bear to catch up and then they run together out of the gorge and back up the path they came. The sky darkens above him, but Nameroc doesn't look back. Eventually he outdistance the shadow on the ground, and comes to a panting stop. "We'll give them an hour, if no one comes back down the road by then, we'll head back to Mirwood on our own." Nameroc advises his ursine companion. Korg floats up to the trap door leading to the tower roof, he bangs on the door a couple of times, but without any leverage all he manages to do is push himself away from the ceiling. Gronar soon reaches the trap door and pushes Korg away so he can get a good whack on the door."Gronar open door, then Korg stick Elfy up through hole." Gronar announces his planGronar shoves his entire body into the trap door, the force of his assault shatters the lock and hinges, and the trap door flies up and ricochets off of the tower's roof. Gronar's blow surprises even himself and he fails to pull up to a stop soon enough to avoid getting his head and shoulders stuck in the opening. The trap door falls back down and bounces off the giant's head.The startled orcs take aim at the large helpless head, and pepper Gronar's face with arrows. Yelping in pain, Paquito reaches the giant's kicking feet and grab a hold of them to try and pull him free. Gronar mistakes Paquito's rescue attempt as an attack, and begin thrusting his legs back and forth trying to free them from Paquito's grasp.Unable to hang on, Paquito lets Gronar's legs go and gives a double-axe handle chop to Gronar's back. The blow frees Gronar as another round of arrows puncture the giant's head. "What take Pokey so long?" Gronar spits"With all your kicking, you were expecting me to help. No?" Paquito repliesKorg ignores the argument, and sticks the retching Finrod up through the portal. Korg feels the impact of arrows into Finrod, through his hand, and pulls the elf back down. A quick cure moderate, and Korg was ready to stick Finrod back up through the portal. "You have some fine plan? No?" Paquito asks Korg"Korg keep sticking Elfy in hole, soon Piggies run out of arrows, then Gronar go back up and kill Piggies." Korg replies"I fear Finrod will not last that long. No?" Paquito answers. "I fear Gronar is scared of puny Piggies, perhaps he would like the Great Paquito to kill them for him! No?" Gronar falls for Paquito's bluff, and pushes Finrod from the opening, and slowly squeezes himself through the trap door and into the orc's space.</blockquote>
