Showy giant.

We discussed what to do without coming to any real conclusion, but we finally agreed to attack the giant outside the door wearing old. Even if it wasn't Mokmurian it would be some kind of leader. We planed the attack carefully, deciding to not kill it, but take it alive. We sneaked up to the secret door to suddenly open it. Nathaniel and I stabbed the giant, Velicia struck it and teleported it into the corridor. Honeypot struck it making it disoriented and lowering it's guard so Nathaniel and I could strike it unconscious. We dragged it away from the door and closed it. Searching through it's possessions I found 190 platinum, 180 gold, 130 silver and a magical ring with a stone in it. I made sure it wasn't lost.

Honeypot and Velicia woke the giant and interrogated it while Nathaniel and I kept guard at the door and the corridor continuing past it, to see if anyone had noted our attack. We could hear voices outside and Nathaniel who understood what they said told me it was giants complaining that the boss could indeed skip guard duty.

When finished Honeypot erased the close memories from the giant and put new ones of it gambling away it's riches and getting drunk with the kobolds.

We continued down the other corridor.

We passed some corridors leading off. The first smelled sharply. We guessed it was a tannery. From the next we could hear that it was a smithy. I sneaked down the corridor to take a look. There were two giants, several strange dwarfs with burning beards and captives working. The giants and the dwarfs seemed to be using magic. We decide to pass them without a fight. We could free the captives on the way out.

Next we came to a sleeping room for giants. It was better standard than other

Corridor lead on. It had big skins hanging on the walls. I got suspicious and was very careful and looked for traps. Sure enough I noted slots in the wall behind the skins and behind them trolls!

Moving along the corridor and aiming carefully I threw my dagger though the slot and hit a troll. Nathaniel went up to a slot and got stabbed by it's fork as he jabbed back with his sword. Honeypot squeezed through a slot and fought the troll behind. Velicia teleported through and I soon followed.

After a long fight we finally killed them. It turned out that only with fire can you stop trolls from regenerating and only Nathaniel had a weapon that burned. Velicias tries with a torch was mostly ineffectual.

At last we could look for treasure. There was a big sack and it was very heavy. Eagerly I opened it only to disover it was filled with rocks! Just stupid rocks. Not even rich in minerals or anything. Honey wanted to put stupid rocks in her garden. bah!

I heard sounds from some monster or something along the continuing corridor. We continued on.

Velicia summoned a floating disk.

We descend a spiraling round tunnel.

Far down.

The tunner get square but the corners were still runded. The distances got distorted. Everything seemed further away than it really was.

The corridor split and we followed the right wall.

It lead to a room that looked huge when distorted.

We could see a wall far, far away straight across the room, but to the left it disappeared on the horizon. We could vaguely more sense than see a door in the wall.

At the very edge of what we could see there were three giants guarding a well of some kind. They saw us.
