He immediately seems weaker, his muscles visibly shrinking.   Crom spots some ogres charging from the other room dressed in cook outfits and wielding cleavers and rolling pins. He charges that way ready to meet them.    Attilla pulls out his bow and lest fly two arrows taking out 2 of the 5 charging ogres.    Vez charges into the room staying on the outer rim of the web spell awaiting a chance to attack the two trapped frost giants.    The Frost Giant that Quinten had hit with his spell manages to fall back further into the web and the party loses sight of him. The other Frost Giant tears partially free of the webbing only to get a nasty chop from one of Vez’s greatswords.     Quinten, seizing the opportunity of the Giant escaping the ray, begins chanting and lets loose his final strength reducing ray on it. Vez makes a cut to its knee and it stumbles back into the webbing thoroughly entangled again.   Adoran, seeing the ogres as the most immediate threat, summons 4 elemental darts and fires them into the 3 remaining ogres. Two shook off the pain but one of the ogres staggered.    Crom using this to his advantage, steps in and with a massive swipe of his huge greatsword takes out 2 of the ogres in one hit.   Attilla uses his wings to help bring him to the final remaining ogre and tears into it.    After the last ogre has fallen, everyone begins to pay more attention to two trapped and weakened frost giants. They light the webbing on fire giving the giants the choice of leaving the immediate area or being burnt to a crisp. The giants finally attempt to escape and are easily surrounded and finished by Crom, Vez, and Attilla.   “Do you think we’ve been heard?” Adoran quandered.   “I don’t believe so. The walls here are really thick and plus I’m sure fights break out all the time between two giants. They probably assume it was some minor dispute. Plus the fact that whatever those large growls coming from the other passage way probably gives them a bit a security.” Replied Crom.   “I doubt they get many visitors anyways” Vez mentioned. “Should we try to hide this so we can still attempt to be diplomatic?”   An idea forming in his head Quinten asks, “Attilla since you have darkvision perhaps you should scout up ahead and we’ll try to clean this up as quickly as possible.” Once the angel has left the room Quinten immediately begins chanting while pulling a large chunk of onyx from his backpack. Immediately, two of the frost giant corpses begin to stand up. Grasping his amulet and uttering a few arcane phrases suddenly the corpses appear the same as they did in life, none of their wounds showing. “Let’s move the other corpses outside quickly and lets get moving?”, Quinten petitions.    The mercenaries have worried looks on their faces but no one bothers to question since they are in the middle of a frost giant lair having just slain 3 of them without any clue as to how many might be nearby.   “I’m guessing the angel doesn’t agree with your ways of dealing with the dead or should I say undead?” mentions Vez with a smirk. “Shall we continue on?”   After quickly cleaning up, Attilla returns from scouting, “Theres a dining room down that passage with 2 doors and then another smaller passageway through some rubble where the large growling is coming from.” Looking at the two giants, the archon gives Quinten an evil look, “I had hoped you had chosen a different path but I see you are still up to your old ways. This is neither the time nor place to discuss this but, trust me, once this is over this will be dealt with” Attilla answers sharply.    Moving to the dining hall area in through the next passageway a frost giant female wearing an apron enters through one of the doors and upon seeing the group yelps, “What are you doing here?! I wasn’t expecting visitors! My whole dinner will be ruined!”   Stepping in, Adoran attempts to calm the giant down, “I’m quite sorry to have disrupted your dinner in any way. My name is Adoran and these are my comrades. We are attempting to make contact with Gungir.” Taking an obvious whiff and attempting not to gag he continues, “Your meal smells excellent and I apologize for all my comrades. Do you perhaps know where Gungir is now? And please if there is any way we can help you with your dinner situation we’d be pleased and obliged to do so.”   Looking a bit perplexed, Grunhilde smiles and answers, “Well Gungir is “playing “ with his son right now and is quite mad. Apparently someone stole something from him and he’s been taking it out on everyone, his son especially.” The group can see the obvious bruises covering Grunhilde’s arms. “Perhaps he might talk to you once he’s had his dinner. My ogre cooks seemed to have disappeared or run away and I don’t know how I’ll be able to finish the meal in time! Perhaps you could help me some?”   With a smile and a nod, Adoran says, “Of course, my lady” with a bow, “just tell us what we can do and it shall be done. Could I also ask what beast is making those large growls, there must be several of them.”   Blushing, the giantess replies, “Well that is just Gungir’s pet. A very scary beast that breathes cones of ice! I need a strong man to stir my stew.” Pointing at Crom she continues, “You’ll be perfect! And you Adoran can help me cut the veggies! Could you two help bring out the ale from the storage room over there” pointing towards Quinten and Attilla and motioning towards the other door. “We liberated that from those damn dwarves at the bottom of the mountain!”   Vez pipes in, “I’ll make desert! A “pie”. With a nod, the Giantess moves into action and the rest of the group begins their appointed chores. END SESSION 2</blockquote>
