Daseem waited for Bupkis to scout ahead, although he loosened his sword in its scabbard incase the little goblin came running back chased by the hoards of hell.
Bupkis sneaks back and says, "Beyond door is a huge thing made of bones with four arms, four legs and at two arms it has blades instead of hands".
Daseem's eyes grew large as he listened to Bupkis's take, he cried "T-truly we are blessed by Gorum! Such exotic foes!"
"And yet, one completely unnecessary to fight, I suspect. It did not respond to the sound of our other combats. Perhaps we should leave it be for now. We can always come back to fight it later."
Daseem looked pained, pained! At that suggestion! He managed to stammer, "Er... W-where to then?"
"Let's do the other door off the entryway."
Back to the entrance hall and from there through the other doors it is. Columns depicting fierce, gigantic figures line the walls of this elongated hall, which opens to a slightly smaller chamber to the west. At the eastern end of the hall, bas-reliefs of additional figures adorn the walls between the columns. In the western chamber, a five-foot-high ledge runs along the three walls. Statues depicting giants lying in state stretch on the ledge between the columns.
But that is only the background hardly of interest, as a huge mammoth covered in ice with a blue glow in its eyes as well as a frost giant occupy this room. And they are not amused by the intrusion.
Bupkis powers up and shoots a bolt at the mammoth.
Daseem grins from ear to ear and calls upon Gorum for aid in what no doubt will be glorious battle!
Menrozzar readies Steelhand's spear, but takes a deep breath and prepares to exhale a cone of fire at the mammoth and giant when they get close enough.
Amira starts an encouraging song again.
The mammoth's thick fur catches the bolt Bupkis shoots, without any harm to the creature.
The mammoth comes charging, with the giant coming behind. None reach the party, but the mammoth runs into the fire Menrozzar spits out.
The fire is very effective and leaves the wooly quadruped heavily burned.
Bupkis powers up again, and blasts the Mammoth once more time.
Bupkis shhots the mammoth between the eyes and it is stopped cold in its charge dropping to the ground dead.
Daseem nodded to Bupkis in recognition of an excellent hit as he then makes his own wild charge, screaming "GORRRUM!" as he charged the giant!
Amira keeps singing as it looks like there will be more glorious battle, until the frost giant is defeated.
Menrozzar roars in rage as, he too, charges towards the frost giant, Steelhand's spear before him as he stabs into the thing, trying to embed its barbs in the giant.
As Daseem charges, the giant swings the axe at him.
But he manages to bury his blade in the giant anyway. And Menrozzar uses the opportunity to run his spear into the giant.
But the giant doesn't go down, and so it becomes painful for someone.
Menrozzar keeps stabbing the spear into the Giant over and over again, trying to bring it down.
Bupkis powers up again, and ties to take down the giant.
Daseem grunted as he got hit, but he stepped in to press home his attack!
Then with a whispered, "Gorrum!" he channeled our lord in iron's grace to cure some of his wounds.
Frozen minced meat would be a proper description of what is left of the giant, after Daseem, Menrozzar and Bupkis unleash their fury on the poor creature.
The place looks like it was some kind of stable for the mammoth. With saddle and bridle stored here. On closer inspection the mammoth looks like it was undead. As its not bleeding, but falling apart already. The giant, or what is left of him bleeds though.
Not much else is found here, but the bloody chainmail and the greataxe of the giant.
Battered and bleeding, Daseem inspected the remains of the giant and mammoth for a moment before patching himself up.
He wondered if anything on the giant had been enchanted. Humming droning tune that sounded like gorum, gorum, gorum, gorum, he studied the chainmail and axe.
Then he got up and asked the room "Eh? W-what next?"
"There seem to be undead creatures here - not too surprising - in this grave. Are we prepared for that? Or do we need to retreat and plan again?" Amira inquires.
"I don't know that we could plan for undead better than anything else we've done, so far, although I would hope we'd find some more healing soon."
"I don't know what to expect, but I fear if any incorporal undead show up, we're in trouble. Or does anyone of you have something that helps against that?"
On Menrozzar's request she offers "If all are wounded, I could do a healing song."
Bupkis heals Menrozzar.
He says, "Bupkis not physically wounded, but quite tired. But only resting makes that better."
"I don't think we have any specialized means of battling such ghostly apparitions, and I don't know where we'd get them. Is anyone else injured, so that we might all benefit from Amira's song?"
Amira sings her soothing song, that heals all in the vincinity, to make sure everyone is back to full heath.
"Where to now?"
"Back down the hallway to the large, central room, and then let's check the first door on the left."
Bupkis followed Menrozzar's suggestion, sneaking back to the first door on the left.
Daseem shrugged and with his sword resting on one shoulder he followed after Menrozzar, safe in the knowledge that there would soon be something else to kill for the greater glory of Gorum.
Two sleeping pallets, two footlockers, and a small rack for weapons and armor are the only furnishings in this sparse room. Two torch sconces are mounted to the wall. The only exit is a single door to the north.
The footlocker contains a change of clothes in giant size and some food of questionable quality.
After searching the room, Bupkis opens the door to the north.
The doors to the next room are locked.
Bupkis tries to pick the lock.
"Unlocked!," he announces.
Daseem was impressed, "T-thought I'd have to break the door down..."
The walls of this chamber angle outward, creating an irregular trapezoidal shape. Large wooden tubs of unwholesome fluids stand to the north and south, their contents slowly bubbling without an obvious source of heat. Huge worktables surround a large iron grate in the floor in the center of the room. Upon the tables are an odd hodgepodge of surgical tools, saws, balls of twine, and materials suited for a puppeteer’s workshop. Two heavy doors provide access to a walled-off portion of the room to the west.
At the workbench at the far end of the room sits a pale giant over some papers.
Bupkis has a feeling that something nefarious is going on here! He powers up and whips the suspicious giant; however, he misjudges his attack.
Menrozzar takes in the room, eyeing the grate and the vats of strange material, and studies the giant as well, trying to figure out what type it is.
"If you have a way to do so, try and keep the giant from getting to those heavy doors. There may be something in them it can release. Let's spread out a bit."
Menrozzar moved into the room a bit, but readied Steelhand's spear to defend himself from a potential charge.
Daseem was delighted to see the giant so he greeted him with a low growl that sounded like, "Gorrrrum!" as he moved to stand back to back with Menrozzar.
Amira throws a glitterdust at the giant.
