Lathir Draws First Blood!
As Lathir is in flight, about 120' in the air, he notices something crucial. Even through the pounding rain, and even at this distance, he hears the Hill Giant gate guard... SNORING.
Lathir muses inwardly, ~That's the reason the Wolf Master didn't let the rain-soaked guard inside just now; he saw that the guard was sleeping, and decided that the lazy oaf didn't deserve the courtesy of being woken up. But the Wolf Master's spitefulness and vindictiveness will cost this guard his life. I do not intend to put the party's lives at risk by being merciful.~
Lathir acts quickly, realizing what must be done. Knowing that he won't miss a motionless opponent, he foregoes the Cat's Grace spell, opting for Bull's Strength by itself, to allow him to pierce the Giant's thick skin more effectively. He casts the spell as he is beginning to land.
The Giant does not stir in the least as Lathir lands and approaches him. Lathir skewers the sleeping Giant, ramming the spear into his throat, in order to stifle any possible scream; but the Giant makes no noise, as his life-blood spills onto saturated ground, and his body slumps sideways.
Without wasting any time, Lathir moves to the gate, and lifts the bar, allowing the party access into the courtyard.
EVERYONE: What do you do?
