Those two are already having too much fun with this. Darn Halflings.

Posted I have. Not the best of posts, but hopefully will do the trick.

Reply I will, as soon as time there is.

(Note to self: avoid Yoda impressions...)

Well time to get back to work. Valene needs to take a moment and give Cor a detailed layout of the giants lair. Once we reach the opening we need a way to get through one by one without being munch by the big guys.

Are you suggesting a dwarf would sneak past giants without a fight?

I hear Giant meat is in season...

Does Valene know if any her other stuff is in the giant's lair? Her hat for instance, it could be something we try to salvage. If one of us were to cast a fireball in the lair all her stuff could be distroyed.

Ulthok has "Sleep" ready which would take down several (depending the roll) without causing area damage.

He also has 10" radius invisibility which could allow several member to huddle together to past through undetected.

So there are a couple of ideas, I'm musing a post so we need to plan this next move.

Just a quick note:

Sleep won't work (and at this level is a completely redundant spell). It only affects 2d4 hit die of monsters and monsters with critters who have more than 4 HD unaffected.

Sirene, however, has Domination memorized and Chaos. So she could sneak in under Improved Invisibility and cause merry hell.

My preference is, however, for blowing stuff up. I like to keep things simple.

I'm not sure if Valene had any items that would have survived the giant's possession of them.

Hill giants aren't exactly renowned for their sartorial elegance. They'd probably try to eat the hat if they ever had it.

Well I thought it said these were mostly the giant children, so sleep sould work on them. And it didn't seem to indicate it was a clan just a few. The fewer critters up and active the fewer we have to battle. And if needed they are easy targets.

If there is no stuff to salvage and Sirene likes to kill children then Ulthok has fireball ready to roast and toast. In that small room it would clear it nicely. We should get the room size from Valene, the backdraft through the opening could be an issue for the party.

Domination would only affect one giant, but Chaos could be fun to watch. Depending those that might get saving throws Sirenes level add could possibly cover all the giants in the lair. They will all react differently depending on the DM roll for each.

Well Tann describes it as a clan in his original post (3 male giants, 4 females and a number of kids).

Sirene would not feel that guilty about killing young giants reared on eating elf, and whatever other intelligent creatures they could get hold of. Unless they begged for mercy or something.

Of course it may be that the Nazgul-like creature got them already...

Valene knows there are in fact two clans of giants, one on either side of the bridge.

She has no issue killing any of them, she's suffered enough abuse to justify it in her mind. Doesn't mean she would suggest it, but she won't argue it either.

Why do you all want to kill my Giants? They are warm, cuddly and pleasing to the eye. Of course they are 10 1/2 feet tall and eat people, but hey nobodies perfect!

Two clans? That makes for a heap of giants.
