The alliance of giants travels up the Ordning; though perhaps the Clouds have abandoned us. And right they should. As you say, this venture is pointless animosity, and for what? I do not know. I do not think that my Thane, Arnak knows. We Stones may be involved, but we do not orchestrate it.::He switched to awkward common to add, "And the Hill Giants are hapless thugs, as usual."Continuing in the giant tongue he said, indicating the dead chief, ::Nosnra knew more, but I doubt even he understood our goals. If you want peace, I suggest you ask Jarl Grugnor in his Glacial Rift, or if you are very brave, King Snurre in his Iron Hall. Though Grugnor is known to be the more... reasonable of the two.::::I can offer only this: I will surrender the Steading to you and retreat into the mountains. I will take these with me.:: he said, indicating the remaining Hill Giants with a note of disdain, ::And I will ask Thane Arnak to reconsider the Stones' participation. Or at least to bide awhile, to give you time to negotiate with Grugnor or Snurre. This is the best I can do.::* * *During this discussion, while Waythe whined in Bible's head that the murdering had stopped, Jack watched the other Giants. Most stood around dumb-faced and exhausted from the efforts of battle, (it was no surprise that Hill Giants found battle tiring. It must be quite a feat to move around their great bulk at any rushed speed). The youths cried over the dead bear more than the deaths of their parents. But the servant backed toward a nearby wall and suddenly shoved at a wooden beam. The wall pivoted inward, revealing a secret door, and the giant attempted to make his escape.[ooc]He only has 5 HP, so I suspect that Jack can just shoot him in the back before he disappears into the hallway beyond.[/ooc]</blockquote>
