Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 7409617" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Posted on behalf of Respen (email submission)~ Filthy place.  Filthy inhabitants. ~Respen is disgusted by the trophy room.  He never hunted for trophies.  He certainly had hunted for sport in the past, but he never had much use for trophies.It always seemed macabre and vain to him.  He had encountered giants before, but not like these cretins.  The stone giants to the west of the Enllaves sent representatives to his uncle’s funeral.  They were a dignified people.  Small in number, but large in heart and hope.  This rabble was a foul and revolting lot. Surveying the battle at either end of the trophy room, the irony of the giants being the hunted produces a wry smile.   The lightning bolt from the south startles him, the crackle of thunder and the smell of ozone overwhelm his senses for an instant.  He turns his attention toward the south.  Seeing the struggling Nosnra reeling from successive blows from Kleborn and Vale, Respen resolves to end this particular threat.  Without saying a word, he sprints toward Vale, notching his bow, and slides with arrow ready next to Vale, 25-30 feet from Nosnra and one of the stone elders. “Adieu géant,” he says as he releases the arrows; it is the last thing Nosnra sees, and he is dead before his head hits the ground.  The arrow sticks shaft deep into his right eye, breaking his cheekbone, gouging his eye, lacerating his ear canal, and burying itself deep into his brain.  The puncture leaves little blood as it pools internally.  To Vale and Kleborn, as well as the giants in the room, the visual and auditory effect is instantaneous.  There is no confusion; the hill giant king is very dead. Before Nosnra’s head hits the ground, Respen releases his second attack against the stone giant closest to him (S2).  The arrow also strikes home with a “snikt” sound, piercing the stone giant long-ways in his forearm like an elongated splinter. [ooc] Respen moves 35 ft to space R8 and attacks twice:   1st attack on Nosnra: Attack is Critical Hit (roll 36; confirm w/24); 38 points damage;   2nd attack on Stone Giant Elder (S2) (roll 29) 17 points of damage [/ooc] [sblock=If you speak Elvish]  Goodbye giant. [/sblock][gm]+1,000 xp to Respen, for the spectacular, critical, bow shot which ended Chief Nosnra's reign of terror![/gm]</blockquote>
