Giant Problems

*Go back to session list*

## Fight!

The giant began yeeting clumps of dirt at them as it rushed closer, but missed every shot. From the trees, Ahsatan identified the wolf-things as worgs; monstrosities that are often used as mounts by goblinoids. When the giant came within firing range, the party and Garkuk's squad began to unleash a barrage of spells and arrows against the lumbering figure. Carric, still invisible, attempted to distract the giant's ire by shouting insults from a nearby bush, targeting its rock-throwing abilities. It picked up on the mockery, and turned its attention towards where Carric was standing, but could not see him. The three worgs however, could smell him quite strongly, and swarmed around him angrily snapping at his invisible heels. At close glance, the worgs seemed to look somewhat manic.

Spotting the commotion, the hobgoblins began to march forward in formation to take on the snarling beasts with the other party members following behind. Carric decided to misty step outta dodge just as Mirik sent a fireball right where he was just standing. Garkuk flung her own fireball at the giant, but it didn't really do that much (garkuk more like garSUCK lmao - Luke). Kiira rushes up to the giant, dodging it's foot as it flies at her, and sinks her rapier into it for big damage. Ahsatan pulled out some classic smiting damage and Ven continued to pummel its giant legs. It began to turn and flee, but one final blow from Ven was enough to send it tumbling to the ground with an almighty crash. Some of the hobgoblins were severely injured, but were taken care of by their compatriots and Ven.

## Investigations Continue

On the back of the giant was a giant hessian sack, big enough to fit several human-sized objects. Ven and Carric investigated the inside, but only found some scraps of random material, and a strange marble-like eye. Carric cast detect magic, and saw a faint divination aura on the eye. The pupil in the centre then expands and begins moving around inside the eye to stare at various people, before locking onto Carric. Spooked, the Carric and Ven wrapped it up in some rags and Ven put it in his bag. They brought it back to the rest of the group and had a short rest by the river to cool off. The hobgoblins mused over the deposition of the worgs, and told the rest of the party that it is strange to see a worg willingly fighting alongside something else that isn't a goblin. The also spoke of their previous home before moving to Fort Surob, and said that they had a large tribe established in the Southwold fields.

As Ahsatan, Mirik and Ven monkeyed around on the rocks by the river, Carric sent a message to Chispa asking about the eye and what it could be. Chispa replied saying that he wasn't 100% certain, but would ask around the Artificer's Guild and try have an answer for later. Seeing some kind of trail leading West, the group agree to continue following the trail thinking that giants might have snatched up their companions and taken them elsewhere. Realising that the heat would make it incredibly hard for them to continue walking, Ven attempted to combat the effects of heat stroke utilising the cool river water and some rags. He was successful, and the group managed to continue on for another two hours. Mirik and Ahsatan get caught up in a heated game of eye spy, which one of the hobgoblins attempts to join in with but is silently judged into silence by his compatriots. The group finds camp for the night at the foothills of the Rocksoll Highlands, and Carric messages Chispa again for a follow-up. He replies saying that nobody is really sure what the item is from the vague description, but due to the eye following people around it is possibly either a joke item that looks at moving things or some sort of weird scrying eye. With this new information, Carric settled down to sleep as the group began taking watch...
