*Anything ye lads want to look in here or should we move on?* asks Warwick.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 920):

Shorty takes a quck walk around the room to make sure there are no other exits hidden by the irregular shape of the roomn.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 920):

Trysk responds, *Let's move on. The giant clearly wasn't headed here but probably to warn the others.*

In reply to Shorty (msg # 921):

There are a couple of 'fingers' to this 'room' and neither has any exists.

Ez’ard will continue to trail the others keeping an eye out for anything or anyone.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 924):

That would put Ez'ard at the mouth of the 'room' entrance.

Where to now?  Back to the area where you encountered the giant or somewhere else?

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 925):

Trysk asks, *Which way, Warwick?*

In reply to Trysk (msg # 926):

*We agreed to head back to where we met that giant down at the bottom of the crevasse and explore further in that area.*

Warwick begins walking.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 927):

Trysk nods and starts flying ahead silently.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 928):

You all make it back to the 'room' without incident.  The 3 dead giants are still there.  Nothing else in the room except for a few stacks of boulders.

You can go back to the first 4 way intersection .. explore South or go east to a T intersection or go back to the first ledge and go south or go back to the initial fork and go right (west).


Many choices

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 929):

*Let's continue east,* says Warwick.  *Probably time for the coin of silence.*  Warwick pulls forth another coin and chants quietly over it.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 930):

Trysk asks, *Shorty, do you want to get rid of the evidence?*

In reply to Trysk (msg # 931):

Shorty looks at Trysk in confusion.  *No places ta puts dem.  Take bery long to carry ta fall down place.*  Shorty stares around the room for a moment.  *Ifn giant go udder way ta gets help, hows come us go udder way?*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 930):

Warwick cast the Silence on the coin.  Going east reveals a couple of dead ends.  The only other section you have not checked is the south passage at the 4 way intersection .. or you could pick a ledge.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 933):

*South it is.*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 934):

Very well, south.  How does the group proceed?

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 935):

Trtsk casts Invisibility on himself and takes point, *Moving out.*

Ez’ard continues to hold rear guard…

In reply to Trysk (msg # 936):

Trysk goes down the south tunnel ahead of the group.  The tunnel goes 30' south before making a sharp turn to the west and going another 40 feet.  It then opens into another irregular 'room' with 3 frost giants playing knuckle-bones, the 'room' is roughly 60' in diameter.  There are a few piles of hides and some sacks in the 'room' as well.

The giants seem unaware about the recent happenings.

Actions?

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 938):

Trysk informs the others, *3 giants playing knuckle-bones in here.*

Trysk uses his Rod of Alertness to check the room for evil, invisibility and magic.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 939):

Shorty smiles and begins to whistle while he walks.  He frowns when he cannot hear himself again.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 940):

*So, one a piece, then?  Short, Trysk and meself?  Morteft and Ez'ard to watch for surprises?  Or do ye two want to get in on the action?* Warwick asks.

*And Trysk, I presume ye'll be in there ready for a backstab?  I'll toss the coin in between the three of them to silence the area.*

Ez’ard sends to all, *I am fine with rear watch, don’t want to get in the way and have something huge and heavy fall on me, thank you every much.*

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 942):

Trysk sighs, *I'll take the one on the farside of the entrance.*

Trysk maneuvers himself to backstab his giant when Warwick tosses the coin at the giants.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 943):

*As ye wish, Ez'ard and Trysk.*

*Ready, Shorty?* asks Warwick, with a grin.  He activates his boots and flies at top speed into the room, tossing the coin ahead of him and then using his momentum to attack his assigned giant.
