(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Blue]

Big Fella gingerly held the tablet and read it to everyone over the mental link that Tenibor had set up.

 

[TerraDave]

There are two tablets? If there is one outside the chest, Tenibor would take a look.

He will also scan the room for any anomalies, or places that other interesting things might be stashed.

Actually, did the giant have a bag?

To the Quinn of the Crown, speaking quietly: "I am hurt, though not mortally" (7 dmg, staying at the lowest HP in the party).

(Investigation 19; reads Giantish)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The giant, Utharn, had been scratching on a tablet when they arrived. When Tenibor had a look around his (now utterly ruined) bed, he found that tablet and two more. Unlike the slab that Eoghan was reading, these runes were in a clerical short-hand. Tenibor was able to gather the gist of it - these were many notes on various past raids: successes and failures; enemies destroyed vs giants lost; loot taken or burned. While the information would be useful in the long-term to an analytical mind, there was nothing there that could help in their current situation.

OOC: Everyone can read the letter behind the spoiler tag a few posts back, if you haven't already. Eoghan has read it to you all.

 

[TerraDave]

(Helps to pay attention to the thread).

Belastraya?

Any idea, even the kind of name that could be?

(History 23.)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Tenibor recalled that the Stone Giant Thane Arnak of Howling Crag had a sister by the name of Belastraya. Legend has it that she slew a mother Roc, took three eggs, and hand-tamed a Roclet. (One of the other two eggs failed to hatch, and the other she gave to the Thane, who ate it for breakfast).

 

[TerraDave]

Quinn can recall that I suppose (though Tenibor got the 23 history check).

OOC: I guess I shouldn't post right before bed! Fixed.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Quinn surveys his companions noting that several looked injured. He then concentrates on the healing starlight he stored in his ring of power. The healing light falls down onto Tenibor briefly before moving to Valda then Jack.

Quinn listens to the information found on the tablet.

So there is more here then just raids by these hill giants. There is some form of alliance going on and a larger plan. We will need to investigate this further.

OOC: Casting Healing Spirit out of my Ring of Spell Storing. Healing Spirit rolls: 6#1d6+1d4 4 3 7 2 4 2 So I will use those as followed. Tenibor will be healed for 7 (Using the 4 & 3) Valda will be healed for 11 (Using the 7 & 4) Jack will be healed for 4 (Using the 2 & 2)

 

[FitzTheRuke]

After the injured took turns stepping into Quinn's healing starlight, Jack peeked out the heavy door into the dimly-lit hallway. The thick logs of the interior walls muffled a lot of sound, but he doubted that no one could have heard the sounds of their battle.

The walls of the hallway were similar to the walls of the guest room - covered in trophies. Furs and skins; man-sized weapons, tools, and shields; heads of various beasts and monsters; and hill giant "art" (crudely made from bones, twisted metal, and wood reclaimed from man-made objects).

Across the hall, there were a pair of double-doors, made from heavy wooden beams, just like the guest room's door. He was sure that he could hear muffled voices speaking loudly in the giant tongue, but he could not make out the words.

 

[Blue]

OOC: Would it be possible to get a map of where we are? I don't think we want to accidentally wander into the feast we were told about - if we knew were large unknown spaces and where the active chimneys were it would help.
