The Holy Alliance Vs the Giants. (IC)

[jakarta]

Sahida floats just above the ramparts, signaling Mal and Uti to return, and ascends to meet them as they do. Brushing the roc's head, she murmurs a few words and its feathers seem to stiffen momentarily. "You'll have some some friends soon. Mal, stay by me."

The winds suddenly increase around her, whipping her hair and clothes from seemingly all directions at once, before her shape wavers and dissolves into a swirling, tornadic approximation of her form.

Griffin all but one hit, one crit. I'm going to assume that more than 30 ft of spikes are hit...

Smokey's back and head are slashed up by the griffin as they pass, then the mammoth's feet are shredded by the stone spikes....the mammoth continues forward, and skids into the stonewall. Both the mammoth's and the giant's foreheads slam into the wall.

One ogre left....

[Fliggl]

Rúni saw the mammoth dying as well. He sat down into the snow and started to pray. That there was one ogre left doesn't matter. Should the archer or the eagle-rider handle him. The fight was over.

Lord of the twin axes, forgive me. No giant-blood has been shed in your name. I wasn't able to take his head... Hopefully there will be another chance to show my worth. This axe and this dwarf were made to fight giants!
For Clangeddins honor!

[infomatic]

Sahida's billowy form drifted above the fallen giant and its elephantine ally, her winds scattering the smoke that still seeped from its flesh. It's hard to tell but she seems to shake her head.

"Wasteful thing," she speaks to the unmoving giant. "Taking such a fantastic beast as this into a doomed fight."

Anybody cleaning up or looting the bodies?

A few fearfully townsfolk start to come out and are starting at their new wall...

[JbeJ275]

Well, at least we won't have any problems following their trail. says Jason, motioning to the path of destruction the mammoth left behind. And if there is an elven ranger anywhere around here he probably noticed that.

As Jason is saying this, Hannibal as landed on the chest of the frost giant and is checking quietly for anything magic looking.

Having taken up a defensive position Inosalon felt quite useless as she watched her more mobile and durable companions slaughter the giant and it's ogre minions. She will help the others search the remaining bags and says "Do we want to do anything with the bodies? Maybe rig some spikes and mount their heads around the outside of the wall as a warning to anyone else who wants to shake down the town?"

Sahida works her fingers through the soil where her trap had laid, massaging it until the spiky stones receded back into the earth, and calls up a thanks to the griffon as it wings away. Across the battlefield she sees Uti beginning to tear at the ogre it had landed upon, noting the wound in the bird's flank. She'd have to deal that with presently.

Looking up, she noted the rows of idols being laid out by Egrad as he searches through the packs of the dead mammoth. So many new gods, all demanding a piece of this world, she thinks to herself. Which one did this Johane follow?

She stands and joins the search. Big Johane had left a big job.

Inosalon says "We should probably burn most of the bodies. Might want to take the heads of Big Johann and Smokey and make a display of them outside the village. Might help deter anyone from trying to do the same thing they did. I also agree that we should leave most of the monetary loot to help rebuild the village, BUT we should make sure to put someone reliable in charge first. The previous 'leadership' seemed to be in league with Big Johan, and this village has a ton of unsavory types just milling around from what we've seen. We need to make sure what we leave behind is going to go towards helping build up, maintain, and defend the village"
