Notes
We discusse how to start tracking and approaching the giant sighting.
Reports tell us a giant was spotted and searching for food.
We ask Byrn of we can have some gear for our travels.
While heading out in the mountains we spot mamoth tracks heading the same way we are heading. After following the tracks we spot a mamoth and a Giant looking at it.
While we keep watch we see the giant jump the mamoth and grapples it to the grond. The giant seems to speak to the mamoth and is fiddling with a ring. He feeds it meat. We discuss to follow it. It takes us to a mountain with a giant sized door. The Giant speaks to it, the door opens and it goes in.
We look through a crack in the door and see a dark hallway with statues.
We discuss to knock on the door, hide, see what happens and try and record the phrase to open the door. The same Giant seems to jump out and looks out in the open air.
We decide to write a message in the snow saying "We are friends, need help against the empire". Then knock and see how it responds. While Cindy knocks the door emediatly opens. It runs out looking very angry and shouts at Cindy. Cindy points to the message. He seems to get what is drawn but maybe not the text.
We decide to stay the night and ask someone from The Resistance to join who can speak giant. We set up camp and have a Long Rest.
We call into camp if they can send over a person that can speak giant. They will send someone over. It is going to take most of the day. So we decide to go ice fishing.
CindyDr. Byron Dark and Artos go fishing on the ice while Ly and Gideon are off to the side at a camp fire watching.
After they caught a crab, Artos is grabbed by a tentical. We fight a octopus. Cindy casts thunder wave and makes a gaping hole in the ice which we fall into. Gideon and Cindy both get exhausted by the cold.
Mathilda Stonehearth and Thalia Shadowstride and Marellia Stargaze are joining us.
Mathilda Stonehearth translates the message we recorded for opening the door it translates to "In the name of the frost father, Grant me access".
We suggest speaking to the giant, but not in a written message. Mathilda Stonehearth doesn't mind giving it a try if we can protect her if needed. We do a rest first to strengthen up a bit after we went swimming. Mathilda Stonehearth creates us a nice meal from the octopus and crab.
We prepare by buffing Mathilda Stonehearth. The human like people hide.
Mathilda Stonehearth speaks to the giant, it asks us to go away first. But we tell it we are friendly and could help eachother. The giant tells us he has it's own problems. We telling we might be able to help and invites 2 people in
He speaks about the paintings inside telling the story of war. The paintings trap souls. So you should not get close. He is the only giant left. We tell it we want to help but don't know how yet. He tells us it's possible to enter the painting but he is unsure how to get out as little creatures who have gone in, never came out. QUEST: Untrap the Giants
Marellia Stargaze suggests this giants place is a epic place we can stay at instead of The Resistance Camp. We think she is no better then the Ember Empire
She keeps going on about the same shit. Mathilda Stonehearth calms down the emotions and agrees with us. For now we will report this information back to Byrn.
These paintings might have been paintend by a skilled person from the Ember Empire. Dr. Byron Dark knows of a guy that might have done such a thing. Marellia Stargaze eventually says she is sorry. She explains she lost a good friend in a mission.
We come to terms to that we need to do it in the right way at the right moment.
We take ale from Dr. Byron Dark's his jug and have a toast to completing this mission.
We travel towards the Crystal Peak. Eventually we see it in the distance
