Re: Day 5.2 - Off to Beliard
As the group ponders their next move, more birds call out from the north, seemingly in answer to the vultures directly overhead. The mud is thick with a confused mishmash of footprints, and seems to shiver as they walk through it.
Slowly it dawns on the group that the earth is shaking, just slightly. Confused, they look around. The figure to the east is just visible again in the dim light, growing larger as it approaches. It appears to be an enormous creature clad in mismatched furs and scraps of clothing. Its scraggly beard frames a blunt shaped face on its thick neck. It carries an enormous spiked club at its waist.
The ogre doesn't yet seem to have spotted the fact it is being observed however, as it seem preoccupied with something altogether different. Fascinated, the group stares as it works its way on a meandering path toward their hill, whirling around and stomping at the ground as it goes. At first it seems that the shaking ground is due to the huge creature's stamping, though the creature is still a fair distance away. Perhaps it is an earthquake, the observers think, as the thrumming of the earth seems not to be keeping time with the ogre.
