Day 24: After the Decay Node

"Dey've fludded der can-yon wid der tears," Dregz struggles to make sense of the words in light of Minmorc's pronouncement.

The bright light is the little goblin's cue to pull on his Goggles of the Sun, and he breathes a sign of relief as the lenses block the nasty dazzle.

Jurz tries to distract himself from the voices and  rattles his stompy stick as  Rog lands close to the cave entrance.

Day 24: After the Decay Node

Moffdust shields her eyes and squints out into the valley, puzzled by the vague statements coming from the clerics. "I'se gonna casts de Tongues spells, den I can talk to dems an cheers dem ups!" She casts Tongues.

Day 24: After the Decay Node

After waiting a few moments for their eyes to adjust to the daylight outside, allowing Moffa time to cast a spell of Tongues upon herself,  Team Arda-Nuff finally exits from the tunnel and spreads out around the cave mouth.

The singing stops abruptly as the first ones emerge from the tunnel but they can tell it was coming from somewhere among the rocks above or behind the tunnel entrance.

However, in the distance, perhaps a thousand feet away to the north across the valley and the stream at the bottom of the valley, you see movement on the far side of the valley. Three stone giants appear to be taking turns throwing a large rock at each other, catching it and throwing it again.

Moffdust pats a random stone distractedly. "Yes, dey is tellin de news in poetries. Dey says "As fer de giants throwin stoneses, its written in dere boneses, but all tings comes and goeses as de rivers slowly growses."

She shrugs. "Let's go hide from de frosties. Has we's got de furs or de magics wot makes us not catch coldses?" She looks around hopefully. She summons a winter wolf and pats its shaggy shoulder. "Dis is Frosties. Youse gonna helps us gettin around in de ice caves, an maybe youse will finds a girlfriends down dere, right Frosties?"

Day 24: After the Decay Node

Following Moffdust's lead, Dregz prays to Bargrivyek to protect him from inclement climatic conditions, in preparation for the jump to the cold place.

"Anybuddy elze want wun ?" he inquires of his tribe, peering out from behind his thick fringe, Magic Stick at the ready and the Magic Word presssing at his lips.


OOC: Cast Endure Elements: Exist comfortably in hot/cold environments for 24 hrs.  Dregz had that spell memorised twice, so can cast it again (and a third time if he uses his Pearl of Power), plus has 2 x Endure Elements potions.  Never let it be said that Bargrivyek doesn't look after us !  ;>

Day 24: After the Decay Node

As soon as Moffa casts her Tongues spell on Minmorc he runs off toward the stream at the bottom of the valley, heading toward one of the three stone giants. The giants don't notice him at first as they are having too much fun throwing rocks at to each other, so he will be able to reach the stream before they notice him, unless he tries to attract their attention first.

OOC: Here is a rough map of where they are located and distances involved. The stream is only about 10ft wide but looks deep enough and fast enough that crossing it may be difficult. (The arrows on the stream indicate which way the water is flowing.)
Minmorc, which giant are you heading towards and do you try to attract their attention?

                                    SG2
                 <-300ft->           ^              <-300ft->

Day 24: After the Decay Node

With the gift of tongues Minmorc will move out of the cave and 20ft west along the cliff face and will attempt to address the mysterious singer.
Minmorc will then head about four hundred feet West along the cliff to disguise where he's come from before cutting back on an angle to approach the furthest stone giant to the West (SG1). As he moves he will cast enlarge on himself and will get a nuffle ball from his bag. He will cross the stream roughly 50 ft East of SG1 and when he sees that he has gained the stone giants attention he will raise a hand and address them in their own booming language.

Bulldust sits on a stone ledge and swings his feet above the valley, appreciating the daylight and the ability of the gods to display the landscape in lines of text, as he watches Min taking the long way around then chatting with the giants.  He takes off his fur coat when he gets too hot.

Moffdust sits with Bulldust and trains Frostie the Fiendish Dire Wolf (not a winter wolf after all, oops, but certainly used to a cold day in hell) to sit... and not eat goblins. After a while she lies down and whispers to the stone ledge "Hello rockses. Can youse turn de musics up again, pleeease?"

Dregz wriggles uncomfortably for his new dragonhide pants are chafing, and continues to worry - somewhat about disembodied voices but moreso about the rather too present forms of the giants.

Bully seems the ideal point around which to gather everyone close, which the little priest attempts by dints of whimpers and general plaintive urging, certain that a rapid retreat will soon become very necessary.

Day 24: After the Decay Node

As soon as giant Minmorc crosses the stream the 3 stone giants shout in alarm. The closest one (SG1) grabs his greatclub off the ground nearby and runs back toward SG2, while SG3 grabs his own greatclub and runs to join them. SG2 still has a large rock clutched in both hands threateningly.

Before Minmorc can even begin his speech and performance that middle giant shouts threateningly.

Minmorc stands his ground and snarls at the giants.

As he speaks he spins the Nuffle ball and then starts to juggle it in a large slow circle. As the ball loops through the air it appears to swell until its nearly double its size and from the way that Minmorc handles it has considerably increased in weight. Small gusts of wind stir up dozens of twisters, sand and leaves that for brief seconds appear to be armoured Orcs rushing armoured ogres amidst crowds of cheering fans. Several of the twisters merge to form a towering stone giant who hurls a ball that blasts apart the other whirlwinds and explodes into cheering fans.

Once the explanations are finished they still look a bit doubtful but no longer actively hostile or even particularly worried by Minmorcs presence.

When Minmorc return he seems pretty grumpy. "Dey gots a chance ter play der greatest game ever and dey too lazy ter leave der mountain... Bah. Least there's a chance Der young uns might be keen. When Jurz gets back let's get outta ere aye? Cor dat looks like fun, jus flyin around."

When everyone is gathered close (and resisting to speak aloud the wicked, wicked thought that they might attempt to take one of the stone giants with them), Dregz holds up the Magic Stick and intones the Magic Word.
