We are in a maze of gullies and canyons and have just killed a dragon-wyrm type thing. Being a 2nd Ed thief I didn't do much of the fighting and am at 100% health wise. The rest of the party is tapped on spells so they decide its time to make camp and rest/nap. I take guard duty up on one of the high points. Before I get down to the serious business of guarding the camp I taunt the Half-Ogre some and he chucks a Large spear at me (and misses). I grab the spear and keep it, throwing it over my shoulder and marching around.After everyone is asleep and I'm throwing rocks at imaginary foes, a head appears over one of the near by canyons... A giant of some sort doing a walk about. He sees me and frowns. I puff out my chest and hold the spear up high. He snorts and hefts a big rock. I (using a magic item taken off a previous giant... a giant sized pouch that made whatever inside weigh 0 lbs.) take my duffel back and stuff it full of big rocks, then hoist it over my head. The giants eyes get big.I toss the back from hand to hand then put the bag down and flex. I hold up a finger in a 'just a minute' gesture and climb down to the dead dragon body and quickly hack off a piece. Bringing it back up I toss it to the Giant who takes it and sniffs at it. He looks at me with amazement in his eyes.  I puff out my chest even further. He takes out a pouch and shows me gold with 'come with me' motions. While riding on the shoulder of a Giant has its appeal, I shake my head 'no'.The Giant climbs over to make his offer more forcefully, waking my companions who quickly slaughter my almost friend.I thought it was great I was able to convice a giant I killed a dragon single-handed without using a single word.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />rv</blockquote>
