Dain withdraws down to Lanneth to help shield her from the troll.
"Don't let that half-orc get away!" Yorikata calls out.
Grant't' moves up towards the half orc.
Balder's Blow Strikes the Orc Knocking him to a knee, "A quiet bunch, I should have brought another giant. HA!" He shouts then falls down.
The Troll moves down seeing Lanneth Healing people she swings two large claws at Lanneth.
The first Claw hits despite the fuzziness in the Trolls Brain
Lanneth Laughs in the trolls face to keep Misfortune going.
Night Fairies remove this irritant!
Assuming the Troll fails it's save:
As the last of the threats fall Lanneth yells.
Who has rope Rope? If you can, tie them both up and strip away their stuff, we need to know what this was all about!
The Troll slumps down on the ground.
"Me not." Yorikata replies. Seeing that the half orc is almost a splat on the ground she moves to the Troll, in case that one puts up more of a fight.
The Troll slumbers but only for moments not minutes The party must decide
"We only need the head of that plan. Not another minion." Balder tells and ends the troll.
Yorikata moves to the half orc and kneels behind him. Sitting him up she puts the knife at his throat from behind.
"Lanneth, can you get him back to consciousness?" she asks.
I think you need this too. Lanneth nods as she sticks her torch into the troll after she sees Balder smash into it.
Lanneth walks over near the Orc.
That child threw bombs. So he may be Trisky. I suggest we strip it of all it's stuff before I bring him back.
to see what is around and if there is anything on the creatures we should care about.
Yorikata searches the guy, throwing all weapons away from him and bagging everything that looks like potions and such. Especially that bag that looks similar to what Lanneth uses to cast her spells she makes sure is packed away. Lastly she strips him of his armor to make sure it will be easier to bring him down again if he tries some tricks.
"Did I miss something?" she asks Lanneth, holding the guy in sitting position again.
Bah. Chaos and death is what this one planned. Send him to the land of the dead.
The party Strips the Half orc of all his possessions trying him up, his head lolls around as he is tied up. Lanneth puts the Troll to the Torch stopping it from regenerating from the mist that is in the air from the water.
"What are you doing now?
Lanneth reaches out and heals the Orc.
Well, not how you expected to go I bet? Lanneth comments before letting her companions start to interrogate the half orc.
She stands off to the side, casts detect magic and starts going through all the stuff they took off of the orc. Looking for anything magic or that tells what she was doing.
"You are the evil mastermind, aren't you? How about you give us your prepared monologue?" Yorikata suggests.
The Half Orc's head continues to loll as Yorikata tries to talk to him.
"Are you dead?" Yorikata asks the guy who is obviously not going to answer.
"Shall we take him to the longhouse for Kurst to lock him away for the night? Maybe we can look around what they all wanted in here to find out without asking?"
They probably have a jail yes? She asks to Balder and Dain Lets bring them there and lock them up until they can talk tomorrow.
I'm sure the town would all be interested in what is happening here.
And meanwhile we can continue to look around.
She reaches out to Heal Balder as she is talking.
Dain or Gran't' are either of you hurt?
[ooc]One last area to explore plus the Giant standing there.[/ooc[
We should see about the rest of the orcs that have been attacking. No time for treasure hunting!
With the half-orc properly tied up and still unconscious and stripped of his gear that should be fine here. "With our luck there will be more vermin in that cave. I'm still wounded."
Yorikata takes a vial. "That didn't help much."
"That bony guy over here - is this cave his crypt?"
Knowing there are the spiders behind you that Yorikata upset by burning their webs and Halgra asked you to explore the whole cave the guard stands discussing what to do.
Maybe give the spid3ers some wolves to eat as compensation?
Lots of interesting alchemical items here, and some weapons. The only thing he had that was magic is this stronger healing Elixir. But there is this letter.
Lanneth Reads the letter aloud, assuming she can read it.
Curses! All of the treasure would have been mine and mine alone!
Lanneth looks up from the note.
Well it seems like we need to find this rock and hammer and make sure they never get to this Genseldek. Plus if we can extract the location out of that orc, maybe we can steal the other rock so that the clans have no more reason to attack the town.
Not to mention a tomb of a famous giantslayer would make a very interesting thing to study.
So what are we doing?
Let us check the grave of the giant. Dain will check with the others.
Lanneth does detect magic on the giant.
Careful Lots of Magic over there She focuses for a bit then continues.
The hammer and Arrows, I"m not sure what they are.. But the rest:
Lanneth shares what the rest of the items are.
The Half Orc remains unconscious, Balder carries him as best as he can but with shrinking back to his own size he is weaker again thanks to the shadow rats.
The presence of just 1 final chamber continues to loom over the group and their prisoner
Yorikata downs another potion.
Feeling healthy again she sneaks over to the last chamber.
I could use the arrows.
As Balder Climbs the Dead Giant to take the Hammer from his hand he sees a Geode in the eye socket. Taking the Geode out he moves down and hands if off to Dain and Gran't' "You two would know rocks" Balder says. The fist-sized hunk of dark, igneous rock and examining its other side reveals it to be a magnificent geode whose rich violet and verdant emerald crystals form glittering crystalline patterns.
the geode to be a spectacular pleochroic variety of tourmaline, the nearest known deposits of which lie in the Mindspin Mountains to the south and west
the geode’s structure is no fluke of nature; the geode’s crystalline valleys and mounds reflect the exact topography of the Mindspin Mountains, and a carved groove along the mountains seems to indicate a trail through the mountain range.
"A wide ramp slopes down to the floor at the western end of
this cavern. Half a dozen huge humanoid skeletons, each ten
feet tall or more, line the walls of the cavern, standing in
silent vigil."
This geode to be a spectacular pleochroic variety of tourmaline, the nearest known deposits of which lie in the Mindspin Mountains to the south and west
"Impressive." Gran't' says as he turns it over in awe
"Hey guys, here are ten more of these giant skeletons." Yorikata calls back.
Must have buried them here as some after life honor guard.
As Dain talks a shift occurs in the room, some sort of Rat comes out of a chest of a long dead Giant and one of the Long Dead Giants comes to "life"
moving to attack the party.
Let's get back to the others!
"Agreed." Yorikata replies and flees back.
Balder runs up to stand with Daina s they seek to hold the line against the nasties.
Lanneth stands still not sure what to do wit her magic dwindling.
The Giant rumbles forward, the clack of bone on stone, it draws a large looking spear behind it in 1 hand.
Lanneth examines the Geode.
It's a map of the Mindspin Mountains, except for that groove, it's almost like there should be a trail there...
Then when she hears the others quickly getting up she looks up and sees the dead giant step into the dim illumination of the Balder's Armor.
It is a Hill Giant Skeleton
