Boz
[sblock]Boz's answer again seems to bring a smile to her face, but this one has a much more sinister look to it. As she stands she merely says "A pity. For you that is." Then she begins chanting the words of some spell that begins to give her hands an unearthly glow to it. Seeing this as being quite offensive Boz unleashes a blast of unholy energy upon the lady. As the energy washes over her, seeming to do no more harm than the wind, she completes her spell. As her hand reaches out to Boz she simply says "Fear not. This will hurt considerably"
Just then her hand makes contact with Boz's forehead sending a wave of sharp pain stabbing through his mind. A pain so sharp that it steals any desire for the devil to make a retort and instead causes him to focus on a way to silence the pain. As the energy slices through to the core of Boz's mind, peeling away his tissue one agonizing layer at a time it suddenly reverses. All of Boz's motor functions seems to completly stop as his arms and legs spasm and convulse. His thoughts, his memories, all jumble around flowing together and pooling up towards the wizardress's hand where it leaves the devil. Finaly after what seems like a century of torture, the knife of energy completly flows out of his mind leaving nothing but an empty shell in its place.
Then turning to the rest of the group she says "Abaddon. Leave his blade and carry Rika. We have wasted enough time. She will be raised later." As the heavily armored man moves to do just as instructed the lady again turns back to the Devil and says "Your memories will come back to you in time. Until then its best not to dwell on them too much. You amuse me and that is why your still alive. When next we meet I expect a larger show of gratitude for this" Her tone has returned back o its original monotone nature as she now begins to walk away with Abaddon, and whiterain close behind her. The monk spares just enough time to untie you and take the rope with him before he too heads off after the wizard.
About 20 minutes after the group leaves Boz regains his senses enough to reclaim his sword and evaluate his surroundings. Some things seem to hold a vague familiarity but none of it actualy looks familiar. Then the sight of a torn and melted devil catches his attention. Again there is no memories of that creature but for some reason the sight fills Boz with a mixture of anger and glee. Nearly 10 minutes later just as Boz is getting ready to leave the area he catches a few figures exiting the cave. Brief images of them in the past appear in his mind but nothing substantial enough to know how they relate to him. All that remains is just a jumbles mass of confused thoughts.[/sblock]
OOC:
Boz:[sblock]You currently suffer 6 int damage but receive a total of 7 more hp (thats all that remains after the pain of her spell fades). Right now you can't remember much beyond your name, but your memories will return as your int does. The group you see is the rest of your party but you don't recognize them. They seem the most familiar to you, but you can't tell why. Essentialy you have a really bad case of amnesia. You also have a pretty bad migrane ^_^
Here is the list of stuff that survived the fall:
Mithril BreastPlate +1 (-1 AC till repaired)
Potion of Cure Mod x9
Handy Haversack[/sblock]
Everyone else: You exit the cave and on your way back to the camp sight you see a very dazed and confused looking Boz. He is badly injured and has a horribly bad looking dent in his armor. Further more there is a brutaly mangled devil nearby him and alot of his equipment looks to be in shambles (shredded cloak, broken belt, torn clothes, etc).

Chuckles abit at boz, he goes over to aldreneth. "Slitz not likeing that cave much. Slitz thinking ssstupid paladin probably dead. You think so too?"
[sblock=DM]If possible, I would like to take a piece of a recently dead giant. That way when I get to the temple of Tiamat, we can try and make a giant tiamatspawn.[/sblock]

Aldreneth shrugs. "Well in these woods, you can either travel with us until hopefully your memory returns and you realize everything is fine, or you can go off somewhere, be attacked, and likely killed. It's your choice," he says bluntly, "And I can't make it for you. However, you should make it quickly."

[sblock]As you enter further into the cave, following the direction that the trio went to fight the giants, you soon come to a place where it looks that the giants made thier last stand at. There is easily at least five of the two-headed giants and ten of the single-headed ones. Many of the giants are missing limbs making it hard to tell for sure just how many there are. What ones still have limbs attached have them broken and twisted into impossible angles. There is no order to the carnage, just blood and giant parts scattered everywhere. Along the back wall of the room is a series of giants seemingly put on display. Five females have been staked to the wall by large poles with a large pool of blood having formed underneath them. The poles have bent under the weight of thier trophies, and a close examination shows that the pole is the only visible injury they have sustained. As you step into the room in search of a suitable limb you catch a twich of movement from one of the bodies along the back wall.
Do you look for any particular part?[/sblock]

[sblock=DM]I will take a piece of a two headed one and possibly a female (to breed more giant dragonkin...whahaaa). If there is twitching of just one giant. Then, I will hide abit and then make that giant an ally. I will then put the Fast Heal Aura up, and heal it for 5 rounds. [/sblock]

[sblock]What piece? Leg, arm, skull, etc....
On a technicality I don't think you can randomly choose someone to count as your ally. The definition of an ally in the PHB is: A creature friendly to you.
Going by that definition she cannot be an ally as she is not friendly to you.
However, as you get closer you can tell that one of them is actualy still alive and bleeding quite profusly. At the current rate of blood loss she won't have a chance of surviving more than a few seconds.[/sblock]
