Slitz:
[sblock]Making your way to the dying giant you are forced to step over dismembered bodies and severed limbs, but the path is easy enough to navigate even despite the blood soaked floor. Upon reaching the giantess you carefully administer your potion which immediatly begins to mend many of her wounds. The worse one, the one with the pole sticking through her body, still stays a problem as blood continue to flow out of it. As the last of the drops of the potion flows into the giantess her eyes flutter open and she absentmindedly looks around, not focusing on anything. Subcontiously he hands reach behind her and pushes against the wall, with the last bit of strength she has left in her, before sliding off the floor and crumpling to the ground in a pile. Bending down you enact your ability to quickly stem the blood-flow and set to work drawing symbols in the blood. After that you begin the slow process of searching through the body parts for what you seek.
OOC: After finding the parts do you leave, or do you stick around waiting for the giantess to wake up?
Also, do you just look for parts from 1 female and 1 male or do you look for more than just that?
Lastly, there are only female normal giants (as far as you can tell). Do you still try and get any of the ettin parts?[/sblock]
OOC:
Apparently Slitz is still in the cavern and wont be leaving anytime soon. Camp will be fully setup before the lizard returns to the group.

Parts: 1 Female Giant part and 1 Ettin part.
[Symbol] Meaning of Symbol Diagram:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Symbol of Tiamat] Blood-drawn Symbol on Floor
[Body Under 5 Heads with Small Figure (me) pointing] Showing Tiamat Saw Her and sent me
[Bowing Figure to 5 Heads with small figure (me) looking] Shows Devotion to Tiamat=Life
[Figure -> Stronger Figure] Figure Lives and gets stronger.
This is the plan:
I will Pray for Tiamat, "The Almighty Chromatic Dragon, Magnificant Conqurer! Destroy our weakness and pitiful need for other languages then draconic." (hopefully giant will know draconic)
I will heal the giant 10 HP.
I will move back 10ft and Explain in Draconic while pointing at the symbol.
"This is Tiamat, Her majesty is filled with Conquest, for she is the Destroyer of Metallic Dragons and Deities.
Follow her, please her with riches, and then great power shall be given to our weak forms.
Denying her is death of spirit and body."
*If the giant worships Tiamat, then I will heal giant more.
*If not, I will destroy the giant with the might of my fist and dragon breath. (as in taking offence actions against me or running away).
## While I will take the chance and hope she knows draconic. I will repeat the words if she looks abit dazed or confused. Hopefully the giant will understand. If she does follow, and accept tiamat then I will tell her everything a Tiamat follower should know. After that, will plan on having her give us information/map about this place and the paladin if possible.
The next goal now is to have her find another tribe that she can go to. If she can, then maybe she can convert those and build an army. She should let tiamat destroy the weakness and guide you in building a powerful body and loyal followers (giant with class lvls and an army...whahaha).
When she leaves (telling her to avoid the area where we camp...or after I kill her if she rejects tiamat), I will 'clean' the symbols off the floor (so people can't tell the symbols and writting were there) and head back to the camp. ###

The trip back to the campsight is of little event. Boz stares around at a few things with a realy puzzled look but otherwise shows no cares about anything. Reaching the camp everyone goes about setting up camp and sits down to rest. Nearly 2 and half hours into resting Slitz walks into camp looking just as he had when you left him behind. Excitedly he begins talking about some events that happened in the cave leading up to the giants offer to allow the group to rest there.
OOC:
You have the option of staying here at camp, or going to the cave to rest. Both have thier dangers and both have thier perks. I leave the details of what SLitz says for him to post.
Boz:
[sblock]As you walk back, you experience a mix of emotions and feelings. You gave upon the trees and you know what it is, yet you can't recall ever having seen one before today. When you get back to camp it is much the same. You instinctivly reach for your pack to set up camp, realizing its missing in the process. You don't recall ever having a travel pack or tent yet you know you should. You can even envision everything that should be in your pack and what its called. Yet you just can't draw an image for its use.[/sblock]
Slitz:
[sblock]
Taking care to draw the symbols as best you can you spend close to a half hour 'playing' in the blood before your satisfied that there gonna be as good as you can get them. Then after healing the giantess you begin talking to her poiting at the symbols. Her attention doesn't even seem centered on you and waves around the room, the terror at the sight clear on her face. After numerous tries to get her attention she finaly focuses on you shortly after she pukes her lunch all over the floor, but the terror is still clearly upon her. Focusing on you again she doesn't seem to understand your words or your pictures. But she does stare at them with a mix of wonder, hatred, and horror. Showing no cares about her lack of ability to understand Slitz continues to repeat his words over and over hoping that sher repitition will drive thier meaning in. About that time the lizard hears some grinding noise, like that of metal scraping against stone, behind him in the hallway. With a slight sigh he sets down a potion and points to the giantess, who merely stares at him as her curiosity finaly begins to outshine her terror.
After enacting the motion of drinking the potion, the giantess tenderly picks up the bottle as if her life depended on it. With another look up to the lizardman, she begins fumbling with the cork trying to pull it off as her blood-soaked hands seek a decent purchase on the small bottle. Just as she gains a decent hold on the cork and begins pulling it off the red skinned giant wearing the armor and lazily carrying his sword, with it dragging behind him, enters into the room and begins looking around. His eyes settle on Slitz, and the giantess but makes no moves towards either.
Still being oblivious to the armored giant she closes her eyes and gingerly lifts the potion to drink. As the soothing liquid rolls down her throat and begins mending her wounds her expression softens considerably. The male giant, on the other hand, slowly lumbers into the room slowly. As the lady is putting the potion down he speaks in a deep voice thats filled with confusion, but one also full of words you do not understand. Hoping your luck is better you say in your native tongue Slitz sssaw who kill them. Slitz not do thisss
The giant tries another language that you again fail to answer before finaly speaking one you did. In common he says "Who are you? What happened here?
Hearing the deep voice, the giantess drops the potion bottle and it shatters upon the floor, her eyes jutting open before saying words you again cannot understand. From there a short conversation begins between the two with the armored giant growing more and more confused by the second. As you go and repeat your words in common, they both stop talking and stare at you a moment. Then the armored giant says "Me Dugobras. She Pogus. Why you here?"
Answering the giants question you say "Slitz find human paladin. Slitz bring tribe. Slitz and tribe get hurt by giantsss. Then mystery tribe come and kill many giantsss and hurt Slitzssss tribe. Slitz come to help giantsss. Slitz not like Myssstery Tribe. But, Slitz sssneaky and sssee people of myssstery tribe. Slitz really hate myssstery tribe. The giant stares at you a moment as if weighing your words before the female begins speaking sgain in giant. After a few gestures towards you the male giant raises a hand to silence the female. Staring at you he says "If you ally, then why we attack you and why Pogus not know you? What tribe you with?"
Responding to his questions Slitz says "Slitz not with other kind. Slitz with people who different. Slitz sssee thingsss before group, giant attacksss slitz. Tribe protect slitz." Then, Slitz's tone changes to be one filled with worry and a touch more serious as he says "Slitz think we have big problemsss. Other myssstery tribe unkown of goal. We tribe come for ugly human paladin, We tribe need to get him. Unknown why myssstery tribe here. When mysstery group leave, Slitz sssneak in and heal ssstrong in ssspirit people. Slitz go to help heal more kin but many too dead. Slitz healsss by gift of dragonsss. Slitz not good healer, but Slitz triesss."
Listening to your words he then asks his original question alittle clearer "If you ally of my clan, why we attacking you when you come? What name of tribe you from?"
As slitz considers the question a moment he finaly says " Slitz not know of you tribe till we had fight. Slitz thinksss giant ssseee me when me not sneaky. Missstake Slitz. Tribe defend very hurt Slitz. We tribe have name I call tribe Death Talons. Fakessscalesss not understand given name and name tribe asss sssomething else. Ssslitz thinksss Fakesscalesss think in human waysss. Humansss don't sssee value of tribe asss you tribe and my home tribesss doesss."
Dugobras turns to Pogus and they begin talking in giant for a moment before he turns back to you. Speaking to you he says "Then where is rest of clan? To be here alone must mean you leader.
Responding in turn the lizard says "Slitz have other waiting at camp. Slitz sssee many hurt by myssstery group, ssso we tribe ressst. Slitz knowsss where we ressst
Looking down at his hand holding the sword he stares in puzlement for a moment before resheathing it. Then looking again at Slitz he says "Clan Goretooth greets you. Bring your injured here, and you can rest in safety and comfort
With the invite now extended, Slitz bows deeply and rushes out as fast as his little legs will carry him heading back to the group.[/sblock]
