[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 2168348, member: 11574"] [b]Paranoia begins[/b] "Little man not laugh so much after this!" Gronar shouts at the sitting individual. The hill giant raises his blade and feels searing pain shoot through his ribs, looking down he spots large black claws pincering his midsection. Another set of claws squeeze into Gronar's neck, cutting off his shout of protest. Paquito moves over and helps Finrod to his feet, as Nameroc flips his bear into offensive mode and sics it on the laughing man.

The man continues to sit and laugh however, staring intently into the flames. The party's attention is drawn to the gurgling noises coming from Gronar behind the fire though.
