[QUOTE="Uriel, post: 1221933, member: 8222"] The Frost Giant has a big belt and/or pouch of what looks to be dwarfhide (you can see several Dwarf chins/beards:the hair is braided around various rings etc for weapons to hang from). He wears a suit of mail, but that would take some time to salvage, and he is quite a bit bigger than any of you <16'tall at least>. The giant has a massive Greataxe and a longsword (used as a dagger, no doubt). Forlash pulls several trinkets from the Hag's body before running. ******************************************************** Down and down run the Band, halls and chambers collapsing in upon themselves behind them, sometimes the very stones of the floor tearing apart within yards of their fleeing feet. Finally the chamber wherein you fought the Golems and Trolls comes into view. Kurg stops to pick up a Flaming Greatsword, thinking it might be useful later. The Door is reached, and you all get outside to see that the Cottage is covered by a shimmering aura, a pale green nimbus playing about its surface. Inside, a pack of creatures is coming for the door, 2 Hill Giants ,Trolls, many Orcs. Within 20 feet of the door, the group sees their salvation in sight, only to have all of their hopes for life dashed. Suddenly, without warning, the Cottage falls in upon itself with an audible *Fushhhut!*, sounding like a torch extinguished in a pond. Making for the Swamp, you see the other Hagborn sitting on a Stump, grinning.Wordlessly, he turns and begins picking a path back to the lair of his Mother.Loping off, you begin the trek towards Home. In the confusion none notice the disappearance of Midnight Fang... ******************************************************* Idiotic Ogres. Buffoons. Not fit for a Menagerie.
