Frostrunner
Dhurnin Ril
Frostrunner stands tall and looks at the Ranger that has brought this message "Is it to be a meeting of the tribes or a meeting of the cheiftans?" Frostrunner slaps his right palm above his heart and with fluid grace and quickness Iceblade is at his side waiting to see what Frostfunner needs.
The wild elf watches the ranger intently as if he can see right through him. it isn't that he doesn't trust the Heaven hawks merely that he is suspicous of those that are not Coledonta.
If Ulfen has asked only for Frostrunner, then Frostrunner is all Ulfen gets. Iceblade stay with the tribe and the herd, I will be back when the gathering ends.
Frostrunner gathers his gear and makes ready to run with the ranger.
Frostrunner is fleet of foot and easily keeps up with his guide. the few encounters that might have happend with small beasts, the wild elf simply intimadates the creature into submisson. and thus the treck is carried on, without interuption.
Frostrunner feels the hairs stand up on the back of his neck as he gets the notion that he might be missing something.
Perception:
Dhurnin Ril gathers his clan together and indicates for the raven to lead the way. Dhurnin will lead a force march to help make up for the clans slower speed.
Brup intercepts the ranger out on the trail and speaks to him first, before trusting him with the location of the cave.
Once there, the tribe entertains the ranger with a party while Brup consults with Caleb. Later in the evening he returns to the party to make a speech. "Our honored guest has brought foul news from the outside world. Far from here, a great giant named Grorknax is gathering an army. If he is not stopped, his shadow will cover all the land, even here. After consulting with Caleb, we have decided that he and I will leave in the morning with our guest to lend what aid we can to the fight against Grorknax."
Brup spends the rest of the evening talking to each of the tribe members individually and saying farewell, and making sure all the warriors remember the patrol routes and know how to trigger the avalanche traps he has set up for their defense.
In the morning, Brup and Caleb depart with the ranger as guide. Brup moves slowly with his limp, but he walks tirelessly and will carry the ranger whenever he needs a rest.
Dhurnin greets the refugees and asks if they would like to travel with the clan. I also offer Lur Hefen's aid if anyone needs healing. The clan will also slow itself if we are leaving the refugees behind and make sure we are guarding them againest attacks.
Frostrunner still looks about for whatever is amiss.
-----
Ice blade watches the ranger and Frostrunner go, following his words would be easy today, and she only had to get the heard to move toward Heaven haws territory. Calling to Winter, the tribes third in command they get the tribe together and start packing camp, within hours they are ready to start pushing the rhino tribe in the proper direction, staying with the tribe and heard, didn't mean she could not follow Her chieftain to help him in whatever battle might ensue. if The hawks were calling upon the wild folk of the Coledonta tribe then, things must be dire enough to need the help of those with battle lust.
---
If we don't make our destination by nightfall, Dhurnin will try and find a defensible spot. With the help of stone shape he'll try and set it so 2-4 clan members can defend the rest and the refugees. He'll also question the refugees and find out who they are and where their final destination is. Lur also uses create food and water to feed the clan and whatever refugees as well.
Well then Dhurnin will set up like before, try and find a defensible position. He'll also make sure the refugees get food, if there are less then 14 they can all eat from the creat food and water, if there are more they'll give them rations. Clan memebers will be on guard, 2 per watch, 4 watches for the night, no fire.
Alright good, Lur can feed everyone with his Create food and water.
Brup hesitates for a few moments at the edge of the camp, unsure as to the proper behavior to adopt when dealing with other tribes. Soon, he gathers his courage and reaches into his immense backpack to withdraw a 2-gallon keg of fine halfling-brewed ale, which he presents as a gift to whoever seems to be in charge. After that, if no one engages him in conversation, he migrates over to the shortest group of people and stands there awkwardly looking for a way to join in the conversation.
Brup is an old ogre, probably older than any you have ever seen, and he wears finely crafted full plate made from the hide of a dragon turtle. He caries a variety of weapons, but the most obvious is an adamantine greataxe. Careful observers notice that he limps slightly on his right foot. He carries a backpack larger than most humans, and a sleepy halfling is waking up on top of it.
As we get to the camp, Dhurnin instructs Lur to see to the refugees, that they have a safe place to sleep and something to eat. He then gets his clan to set up camp along the edge. After that he walks to the center of the camp looking for whoever summoned him here. Seeing the ogre, he keeps an eye on him but noticing that everyone else seems to accept the ogre, Dhurnin suposes that that hes here for other purposes, then burying that axe in his forehead.
"I am Dhurnin Ril of Clan Stonebreaker, we are new to these lands, who sent the raven to summon me here?" Dhurnin announces in a gruff voice hoping to get an answer.
Anyone looking at Dhurnin sees a stocky dwarf covered completely by metal. His full plate is dented and dusty and his tower shield is notched. He has multiple weapons, the most used one looks to be his waraxe, it looks like its seen a fair bit of use but still looks sharp and deadly. His head is covered by a helm but a black braided beard sticks out and shaggy black hair comes down past his shoulders.
A tall elf stands at the edge of the circle watching those around him intently but in silence, with pale as snow skin and light blue hair you can only guess that the Coledonta tribe is at their most southern point.
"A ranger was sent to me as well, and it seems that the Heaven hawks would have our help killing giants before they kill us all."

"our enemy is a monster, he destroyed the great silver dragon that protected this land, he is now healing from the wounds of that battle, we don't have much time before his wrath is turned onto our lands, but we the Heaven Hawks can't hope to win agaist such an attack. We must prepair here for the long seige, already it is hard to defend ourselves by the costant raids, we can't muster an attack. that is why we are calling you, will you stand with us and be the swords of these lands?"
"You Have called on the Coledonta tribe for help and so you shall have it, but if we are to help you in your time of need, then I assume we are to have a pact of treaty between our people, from now until the great frost."
Frostrunner says solemly offering up the peace of his people and the extended coledonta tribes to the heaven hawks.
----
Just then another male elf looking much like Frostrunner if a bit younger and not nearly as many scars appears a step back and to the right of frostrunner.
"our people will be here, early in the morning, Father." Winter whispers to the cheiftain.
Frostrunner smirks slightly at the foresight of the Priestess's foresight and confidence in the boy. She wasn't quite as strong, but she always could read the winds and what the future might hold.
Brup steps forward into the firelight and straightens up to his full height. "Then it shall be dragon-slayer against dragon-slayer. You will have my aid.".
Caleb pipes up from the background where he has been entertaining some of the other visiting tribesmen with card games. "Oi! Me too, you're not wandering off to glory all by yourself now."
"We will help as well, I won't be letting a elf or a ogre out do me" says Dhurnin with a chuckle. "When do we start splitting giant heads"
Frostrunner will look around for something to throw at the giants, hopefully javelins.
Is there another mammoth incoming?
Initiative
Frost runner will prepare to intercept a roc and a giant if they are going to dive or what not. at 600 feet there isn't much he can do with a javelin or even a longbow.
Dhurnin will wait for the Rocs to fly lower or the Frost Giants to land. He will keep his tower shield up over his head to grant himself total cover in case they start throwing rocks done. If any archer wants Dhurnin will also try and grant cover for them as they fire at the Roc's.
Frost runner draws his greatsword, grinning at his foes.
Brup will slowly move over to investigate the fallen mammoth, while keeping a readied action available to attack the giants if they swoop down.
Ok, Dhurnin will try and attack the giant, if hes out of reach the roc will do. Dhurnin is also putting 5 points into AC with expertise.
or +15 for the Roc
if Dhurnin hits he does
vs the giant or +11 (no 2d6)for the Roc
"Come and get me you ugly son of a goat faced motherless troll"
Dhurnin says in giant while trying to taunt the Giant to attack him instead of Ulfen
As the giant swoops down, Brup steadies himself and mutters a holy incantation. As the giant closes the last few dozen feet, Brup suddenly surges upwards as his height doubles. The surprised frost giant has only a split second to realize that Brup is suddenly much closer than he appeared, and in that second Brup smashes the giant in the chest with the flat of his axe, knocking it off of its Roc mount and onto the ground.
(yeah I realized I missed lol, a good start to the campaign. If you want to run my character for today thats ok Ulgulanoth. I`ll be gone all day to my normal gaming group and won`t have time to post. I`ll be back tomorrow.)
