[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6190292, member: 40413"] [b]Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo[/b] Fury stares blankly at the fallen giant leader then grins over at Borric. He wipes the blood from his lips on his sleeve and the blood staining his weapons on the giant's clothing before sheathing them and speaking. [color=orange]"Gonna have to add 'Giant-Slayer' to your list of monikers, Borric. You, too, Breninyr."[/color] He shakes his head in wonderment. [color=orange]"I didn't know you had it in you, Bren; took out two of 'em on your own. I don't feel so bad now about leaving you to handle both of those big fellows.

[color=orange]"Don't know how you managed to make those giants even dumber, ha, but it worked nicely against them."[/color] Fury then turns back to surveying the battlefield and the mass of bodies heaped up at the entrance to the barn.
