Shorty follows Warwick in with a smile and a pair of swords.  He moves to his own giant and attacks.  If his falls too quickly, he will turn to help Trysk.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 945):

The team prepares for their incursion into the room. Trysk heads in first, invisible and using his stealth he is able to position himself for an actual backstab, since the giant is in a squat, as opposed to striking the back of the giants leg.  This is actually the middle of the three giants as you enter the room.

Warwick then suddenly appears like a bat out of hell and heads fast toward the left most giant and in the process tossing his coin and pulling his mace out of his belt in time to attack.  The sheer momentum of Warwick only allows him two attacks (axe & mace) hoping the blows will arrest much of his momentum so as not to face plant into the giants chest.  The giant itself was beginning to stand up from his crouch.

Shorty, coming in well behind Warwick, starts to head toward the middle giant but then deviates to the far right one as the middle giant falls forward a bit, still alive, with Trysk, visible, almost standing on the giants back.  The right most giant is able to grab is axe and get a swing in on Shorty, 25 points, before Shorty mows in down in two strikes.  Shorty will need to wait till next round to help Trysk.

Warwick does, almost, stop himself before smacking the giant with more than his weapons; however the giant is able to brush Warwick off while grabbing his axe to engage the dwarf.

Trysk continues his attack with long sword and short sword.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 947):

Warwick continues to attack his giant.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 947):


Shorty spins to face the center giant.  But he makes sure his friend his out of the way before he swings.  He smiles down at the giant and says “Bye Bye.” But of course no sounds come out of his mouth.

Ez’ard not hearing anything steps up to the entrance and glances in on the mayhem while ensuring he also covers the way that they came from.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 949):

The following round the team is able to decease the remaining giants.  Warwick does sustain a hit taking 19 points.

There was no magic in the 'room'.

Trysk looks for exits from this 'room'.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 952):

Warwick uses his holy symbol to cast cure critical wounds upon himself.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 952):

This area is another dead end, probably auxiliary guards.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 954):

18 points cured.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 955):

Shorty examines his friend.  If Warwick still looks damaged, Shroty will offer him his healing marble to use.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 956):

Warwick smiles.  *I'm almost completely healed, my friend.  Just a little scratch on me cheek under me beard.  Not worth bothering about at this time, but I thank ye for yer concern.*

*Shall we continue to search for a way down?*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 957):

Trysk nods, *Which direction, though?*

Ez’ard shrugs and send, *Lead on.*

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 959):

The 'room' has no other exits, there are 4 piles of hides and 2 sacks in the 'room' as well.

Actions?

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 960):

Trysk responds to Ex'ard, *Ok, heading back to the last intersection. Just make sure we didn't miss anything in here.*

Trysk heads out.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 961):

"Anyone want to check the sacks?*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 962):

Shorty stares down at his friend and runs his fingers over his fully healed wounds from the day’s fights.  *Bees sure.  Me not needs muches help now.*

Shorty takes Warwick’s suggestion and goes of the check the piles of sacks.  He checks to see what is in them and then checks underthem for a hidden door.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 963):

*Aye, me friend.  I'm well now.  But, ye have me thanks.*

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 960):

Ez’ard will help Shorty go through the pile of furs and inspect the 2 sacks.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 965):

The sacks hold in total about 4000 gps.  Under the 3rd pile of furs is a small hole with some jewelry in it, 3 pieces.  Ez'ard also notices a sparkle of light coming off one of the giants wrists.  It turns out to be, what would be to a human, a necklace with several diamonds.

Actions?

Let me know if I should list the various locations again.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 966):

OOC - Please lost the various locations.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 966):

Ez’ard will pocket the jewelry and bracelet/necklace for later inspection and distribution.

Ez’ard will send to Shorty, *Can you sack hold all these useless metal pieces?*  (of course referring to the 4000gps)

In reply to Trysk (msg # 967):

OOC: I will be starting a new thread and the response to the location question will be there.
