Stinky finds the ring.

So what does stinky do?

Stinky suddenly stops and starts jumping up and down, "Oooh, lookey here..ooh I've found it, I'm sure I have. Hey Mr Giant, this is it!! Here ! Here!" He holds the ring high up in triumph.

??? Giant:
in common
"Hic, Thank you little one, Hic"
and he takes the ring.

XP's for all

Arianna looks at the giant in surprise.

"Have you seen signs of a group of human children that may have come this way recently?"

As Stinky hands over the ring he asks, "So Mr Giant, what do we call you? You know we're trying to find some lost children, do you want to help us in our search?" He smiles up at the big man, looking into his bleery eyes, "Given time I might be able to make something to help with the ummm.... something for the day after...you know!"

??? Giant:
in common
"Hic, Sorry, have not seen any. Hic"

"Perhaps you could share a bit o yer drink?"

??? Giant:
in common
"Hic, Sorry, bottle empty. Hic"

"How do you do?"

??? Giant:
in common
"Hic, I'm Ok, Hic, gotta get home, Hic, before wife get mad, Hic."

the giant leaves waving a drunken good bye.

"Now what were we doing?....oh yes the children."

Dennvyn asks, "That's not the sort of giant that would eat children, is it?"

"I doubt it," Arianna mutturs, resuming the trail.

????: 1d100 ⇒ 38

"It seems his diet is mostly liquid."

Dennvyn chuckles, "It does at that."

You continue on a bit

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Most of you (except stinky) see a body next to two oak trees.

In a whisper so that only the others can hear,"What is that by those two oak trees?"

"Looks like a body," Arianna whispers, approaching it. Her body tense, dreading to find one of the missing children she nevertheless advances towards the fallen body.

Dennvyn nocks an arrow to his bow as he approaches the body to get a better look, "Be wary, the thing that killed it may still linger."

"Could be covered in spiders....."

Remembering his earlier experience Jund shudders at the thought of Barbabus' comment. Not wanting to experience that again Jund looks around to make sure there is no one or nothing lurking about.

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

@Jund
looks like he died with a bag of goods.

Takes a closer look....
"Maybe we ken tell who this guy was."

Stinky stands some way off watching as everyone creeps about, not really understanding why? He stands not knowing what to do watching!

Anything interesting....

can I tell gender, race, equipment?

a half-elf adventurer
clad in masterwork leather armor with a
masterwork longsword strapped to his hip
and it appear his skull was bashed in.

"Nice bit of kit here, anyone need a good sword an leather armor?"

"Might have met our friend tha giant."

"It's too big for me, but it does look well-made."

Skull bashed in by something about medium or smaller size.

Stinky eventually wanders over and pushes himself through to study the body. He moves his hands over the body feeling the wounds.

Heal 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 to determine what might have killed him

Evil GM Grin

"Something caved in his skull, the question is what."

Arianna crouches near to boddy looking for footprints or tracks that might indicate a killer or any other recent presences.

as three of you start looking at the body or it's good you all sudden get whacked by...

the goods.

Stinky staggers back from the blow, looking at what just hit them. What was that? Urgh!! Instinctively he takes a small vial from his belt and throws it at the thing that just hit them.
