point blank precise rapid sneak attack for
second shot for
As expected Kurag's first shot goes wide of the mark. His second is a surprise though as the arrow seems to puncture a kidney causing the giant to drop to the ground.
Moving quickly Kurag searches for his 5 arrows that missed the giants and finds 4 of them usable.
Greta steps up behind Bormann and heals him. plus 50% = 25 healing. She does it again. plus 50% = 24 healing. And one more time. plus 50% = 25 healing

"You tax Bolka's blessings quite a bit. I expect an act of love from you to help show your gratitude to Her." She chides as she lays hands upon the warrior.
Kurag brings the giant down.
"You tax Bolka's blessings quite a bit. I expect an act of love from you to help show your gratitude to Her." She chides as she lays hands upon the warrior.
"I appreciate your healing magic as always, Greta, but I am afraid my destiny is a path of war, not of love. Perhaps she will be pleased by a suitable gift at the next dwarven wedding I have a chance to attend?"
Greta smiles. "Even warriors need love, Bormann. Do something nice for someone, that will do nicely. Show kindness to someone you value. Bolka's love is shown in a million ways."
Kurag gives Bormann a friendly nudge. I think you’ve lost that loving feeling. Now it’s gone, gone, gone.. Then quietly were Greta may not hear, Perhaps she can help you get it back?
"Greta, I understand Bolka's gifts and appreciate them, but a warrior needs honor and protection as well as healing. Love may come, but for now we need to clear this place and protect our people" Rask says to the group.
"Which way Kurag?" he asks.
Greta rolls her eyes. "I'm not asking for a spring wedding, Rask, just that you acknowledge the goddess' gifts through an act of intentionally increasing the amount of love in the world. Taking a blow for your brother is an act of love. Sparing an honorable enemy is an act of love. I think even you bloody-minded warriors can do that." She turns to Kurag. "My ears work quite well, Kurag. Quite well. Plus I hear what you get up to in that bedroll of yours at night. I think you've had quite enough of that loving feeling to go with."
Not wanting Greta to get the best of him kurag turns to her with a look of surprise then hurt. Why Greta I should think you can hear what happens in the bedroll. You are right there with me. Please don’t say you are cutting me off from your feminine charms and warmth at night. Besides, you came to me.
It looks like there is an opening to the south so Kurag heads that way not waiting fir Greta’s reaction.

Perception check
Greta rolls her eyes with an audible sigh. "You're confusing dreams and reality again, Kurag. Do I need to check you for a head wound?"
Kurag returns from his listening and lets the others know what is going on behind the doors. There is no sound coming from the south set of doors. However it sounds like something is either being tortured or trained by a whip to the southwest. If something or someone is being tortured I think we need to investigate that first.
"Agreed" Rask says to Kurag, and then says, "can you check the door for traps and such so Bormann and I can open it and handle this" as he points to the double doors.
Trap check
Diasable if needed
looks all clear guys!
Kurag gives the nod and Bormann and Rask open the door. They see that a huge iron cage fills most of this circular chamber, with several crates, chests, statues, paintings, and other art objects crammed between the cage and the walls of the room. Inside the cage, a large piece of furniture sits under a cloth drapery of some sort. Two manticores sit in the cage, their wings clipped. It looks like they have been nipping at each other. When they see you they stop their nipping.
The first manticore says, Ah! Visitors! It has been too long and since you are not an accursed giant perhaps you can free us! The second one adds, We have been held here against are will and would love to be able to spread our wings and fly far from here.
