(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

FitzTheRuke

Legend
Bible fell to the floor with a thump and began to untangle herself from the smouldering bed furs as the giantess fell backward onto the bed with Jack's quarrel protruding from her left eye socket. She lay there clutching at her face for a moment before her arm flopped limply off the bed as she died.

OOC: Jack killed Schlub2. Just @Shadowedeyes Valda & @VLAD the Destroyer Quinn to go to roll the round.

Legend
As Quinn burned the giant with a burst of flame, Valda held the giant hard with one hand and stabbed her to death with the other. As the giant fell, so too did Valda shrink back down to her normal size (which was still quite tall).

The room was filled with a smoky haze, but was otherwise safely secured.

OOC: Fight's over.

Tenibor will listen outside the room for any signs that more are coming in response to the fighting here (OoC: Perception 13)

He will then help Jack with some investigation in the room. As he walks past the many beds he thinks:

~I guess that wasn't all of the giants.~

He focuses on the 2nd room with the stronger giants. (OoC: Investigation 18)

Legend
Tenibor gave a quick look to the northern part of the room, and a longer linger in the southern part. Being the smallest of the true giants (orgres, while giant-sized, were not, in fact, giants) Hill Giants were generally obsessed with getting larger. They did this by putting on muscle, and fat. What the group was coming to think of as "schlubs" were those who were unable to do so - often due to lack of motivation.

Still, they ate constantly. Most of what Tenibor was able to find was forgotten food scraps. A human-sized helmet used as a bowl full of gruel. A gnawed-on leg bone of a horse. A half-eaten round of smelly cheese. All of these were kept in and around the beds, whose straw mattresses were infested with fleas (some the size of your thumb) and rats.

Searching the room to any great depth would prove unpleasant, and was likely pointless at any rate. These giants were too lowly ranked to have anything of value - particularly not information.

Jack re-slung his crossbow and moved south to take a quick peek through the doorway. Confirming that no one else was coming, he shut them with some help from Valda.

Following Tenibor's lead, he then took a quick inventory of the room and dead giants, confirming that there was nothing of value before moving to the stairway to the north. Once there, he crept down the stairs quietly to the first landing, checking for traps and listening carefully as he went.

Legend
Jack quietly moved down the stairs until he reached a landing, where the stairs turned to the right and continued downward. Each step was build somewhere between a giant and a humanoid's most comfortable height, making them difficult for everyone. When he reached the landing, he hugged the wall, ducked low, and peered down into the room below.

Smoky, sputtering torches illuminated a spacious room. Jack could not make out the extent of the room, because standing behind a thick stone pillar was a bugbear, armed with a spiked mace and standing next to a large pile of crates and barrels. He appeared to be stoically guarding them.

OOC: It's been about 25 minutes since he cast it. So yeah, still PWoT.

Jack reported back to the others using the telepathic link as he quietly unslung Darling and loaded a bolt. ~Single bugbear guard in a large cellar. Can't see the entire room, so there might be others. Pair of double doors directly across the stairs about 80 feet away, and another opening to the left of the stairs. Suggest we try to take out the guard quickly - hopefully alive so we can interrogate it.~
