In reply to Narrator (msg # 19):

Everyone except Marlene and Snorri was. I might be able to try one more, but that would be it.

In fact, Kirpich will cast one more resist fire on Snorri, suggesting Marlene keep her distance. her lack of armour would probably make being anywhere near the thing a bad idea anyway!

[Private to GM: Protection from Fire.
Just then, rolled 12, Resist fire, Snorri. Effective skill, 15.

19:57, Today: Kirpich Rockson rolled 7 using 3d6.  Resist Fire - Chunky, skill 20
19:58, Today: Kirpich Rockson rolled 14 using 3d6.  Resist Fire - Kirpich, effective skill 19
19:58, Today: Kirpich Rockson rolled 8 using 3d6.  Resist Fire - Balir, effective skill 18
20:00, Today: Kirpich Rockson rolled 15 using 3d6.  Resist Fire - Dionysus, effective skill 17
20:01, Today: Kirpich Rockson rolled 9 using 3d6.  Resist Fire - Aethul, assuming he says he will fight the creature. Effective skill 16.

The massive creature pops open is eyes, smoke hissing from its nostrils, and roars, a blast of flame errupting from its huge and toothy maw.

OK, so it was startled slightly, but not aggressive yet?

Balir instinctively takes a step forward when the creature snorts, but with the discussion behinf him he doesn't charge...yet.

"Make up yer mindz, already."

OOC  I wrote it that way to be a little silly as a player, but then can't help but read it in a hard NY accent from the movies.

OK, I'll try again, but if it heads our way, I have an arrow nocked... I'll try for an eye.

In reply to Aethul (msg # 27):

The massive thing lifts its whale sized body off the ground on its stumpy legs, looking perhaps less angry, but still cranky and offended by your presence.

The firey breath extends 10 yards from its toothy maw.

The faun eyes his foe, and charges past the conflagration, intent on stabbing it in the eye.

Balir is offended that the faun darted past him.  He was obviously the most capable person in the group, and so the creature was making an elflike show of being brave while really doing nothing important.  He starts to follow along, ready to blurt out something quite rude, until the thing falls down, asleep.

Then he stops, and starts moving towards it very quietly.

[Private to GM:  If it matters Balir will roll stealth.  He's moving towards the neck, to see if he can penetrate it with his axe.  Maybe the head if that looks more vulnerable.]

No, I think that may be well beyond us... and if I remember my teachings, any attack against it will awaken it almost instantly.

"One way or another, we need to stop it destroying everyone and everything. Any super lethal attacks, or perhaps magic to shrink or move it?"

Balir's axe is the best weapon I know of... it is easy to see why it can devour whole cows.

Balir responds quietly, but with confidence.  "I am sure that with Earthwarden, and by the power of Federjung, I could wound this creature severely.  It is large and powerful, however, so I cannot promise to kill it.  This creature looks beyond the elves altogether, and it would take more than just one dwarf.  Perhaps if you were to strengthen me, or find a way to weaken the beast?"

"Whilst I can turn a creature to stone, something this big that would require more energy than I have...I am currently maintaining protection for most of us from fire..."

A blow to the neck would hopefully severely injure it at least...

"What about a vial of poison or acid? Or gouging out both eyes? Aethul could you put something poisonous in it's mouth?

I could slowly shape the earth around it to engulf it, and then turn it to stone, but that may take a long time and not be effective...

I have no poisons, and it would take me some time to gather plants to make anything... gouge one eye and it is awake... and mad. As for entombing it, It seems to go through earth like nothing and could probably break out of rock that wasn't many feet thick...  I have no better idea, but marlena's sleep will not last, we must act ... Balir? How mighty a blow could you apply to it's neck? or skull for that matter.
