(IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

[Lidgar]

Jack sighed in silent relief at the conclusion of the exchange. While his trust for giants was in short supply, this lot at least seemed to have some common sense.

Plenty of time for knives come night. He turned to follow Quinn, his mind abuzz with thoughts on how to infiltrate the steading a third, and hopefully final, time...

The giant whistled, a loud, high-pitched sound that reminded one of a strong wind, and another giant eagle, this one even more splendid than the previous one, soared down on great wings and landed nearby. The giant nodded to the group and mounted his eagle, patting her on her shoulder. She beat her wings hard enough to cause large stones from the nearby tors to tumble over, and she took to the skies. By the time the group had made their way to the rocky look-out, where they could see the Steading, the Cloud Giant Castle began to move southward over the hills, and not long later, it was out of sight.

Lord Faldur's man, who was on watch at the look-out, was a man named Garamond - a scout from East Elan. He said after seeing the Castle leave, "I'm very glad to see that gone! But the Steading is still here. A shame. They have doubled their watch, but I think that you can still approach from the north, without those at the Watchtower seeing you."

Quinn nods and gathers everyone close to shroud them in shadow. He then looks at everyone.

"The stars and twilight will conceal us. We can go now."

OOC: @FitzTheRuke, is the approach from the north essentially the rear entrance of the steading? For the rest, did we want to wait until evening before we left?

OOC: Is the approach from the north essentially the rear entrance of the steading? For the rest, did we want to wait until evening before we left? Yes, the North is the back end of the courtyard. I have us at about 2pm as of arriving at the lookout. You've got about 6 hours before dusk, but I'm not sure that night helps all that much. I mean, the hill giants don't have darkvision, but they're not super observant at the best of times. They're quite possibly more likely to expect you at night. It'll take about half an hour to circle north to approach the Steading from out of sight of the Watchtower and guard patrol. So - 2:30 at the north gate, or later?

 

[Lidgar]

OOC: Got it, thanks. I'm good leaving for the north gate immediately then.
