[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8646321, member: 59816"] The Colonel downed one of the hill giants with his flying trident and threw the other a few steps back with lighting. Smoldering, it tried to follow him as he retreated, but was intercepted by Kaligan. Kaligan managed a shallow stab to its thigh before the chair smashed into him driving him on the defensive. Gimlak spiked the mind of the remaining hill giant with little effort, then warned the others of the open door. The giant dropped its chair and held its head, and Doc walked up and shot it in the chest, and it fell to the floor with a loud thump. The Colonel had told Donnel to "get in there". The lad hesitated. [I]Get in where[/I]? The dwarf's black bubble of darkness blocked the path to the door and was [I]eating[/I] people! He raised his bow and aimed for the darkness, trying to visualize where the door might be, imagining a giant standing there. He hesitated, and Duvrael charmed an orc, who crossed the floor and yelled to the door, [B]::We burned da bread! Dat's a cloud o'smoke blockin' the door. Stay back, weez gonna blow it up da chimney!::[/B] The ruse seemed to work for a moment, then the giant slowly said, [B]::[B]Hoos dat talkin' den? Shur d[/B]on't smell like smoke!::[/B] So Donnell let his arrow fly. Though he had made careful aim, the arrow struck heavy armour. The giant rushed forward, moving through Gimlak's darkness. By the time the giant was through, he had been chewed on by the horrible creatures within, and was enraged. He raised a great axe overhead - much better armed than the usual hill giant - and would have made quick work of Donnell, had it not been for Kahru's wolf, who leaped forward and took the blow, sacrificing itself with a pained howl. [ooc]Colonel killed HGS3 and did 10 to HGS2. Kaligan did 6 to HGS2, and took 9 from a chair. Gimlak did 4 to HGS2 & Doc killed HGS2. HoH did 7 to HGGuard, who did 31 to DWolf1 (killing it).
