Elderan will go in one of the small entrances (the left we can say). If the wolves are with me I will not try to be stealthy but if they are waiting outside I will attempt to go slowly and assess as I go (if possible).
Sticking to the shadows Elderan waits until his companions descend into the hole with Rock, then moves into the small doorway to the left (stealth- 25 ) and waits until his eyes adjust to the interior of the building then peers around (perception- 19 )
Shayne has been with Rovk and is sticking with him. He doesn’t think splitting up is the wisest course but if it happens he’s glad to be with the most capable looking one...
((Apologies for the terrible upcoming Photoshop jobs, but I hope you get the idea))
Rock, you and your group go through the hole to the south of the lodge. You find that it goes under the wall of the giant's lodge. It appears to have been a tunnel, made by some sort of huge being. The tunnel goes up into a small, foul-smelling room on the south end of the lodge, filled with five barrels from which the smell seems to be emanating. There is about a ten-foot passageway just to your west that seems to lead to a room with an absolutely massive bed.
Elderan - you pretend to walk to the south of the lodge with the rest of the group. Once you think the group is out of the immediate line of sight of the wolves, you dash off to your right toward the outer wall of the lodge, just on the other side of the southern-most exit on the eastern end of the building. You blend into the shadows effortlessly, wind around the corner, and peek into the room. You see a huge, slatted animal cage, with a locked gate attached to it by rusty hinges, stands against the west wall of this chamber. Trapped inside the cage are two shivering humans in cold weather clothing. They look fearfully at you.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Giant Waste. Is that Giant Waste in these barrels? Is that what smells so horribly, horribly evil?" Shayne asks, trying not to breathe. Tempted, but refusing to look or try to confirm his suspicions at all.
If the other room seems empty (Perception: 9 ) then Shayne will do a quick inspection of the bed. First he will feel the blankets trying to determine if they are still warm, and thus recently used. Then he'll think aloud, "Do Frost Giants even warm up bedding? Or need blankets?" With a shrug, assuming all is still clear, he'll check the bedding for anything hidden or such, and scan the rest of the room before moving to the next doorway... cautiously and sneakily! (Stealth: 17 )
"Rock doesn't want to know what is in those barrels." Rock agrees, moving through the room in quick roder. In the room with the large bed he take some time to look around a bit more carefully.
Seeing the children in the cage Elderan gets a small smile on his lips. Ha, he thinks to himself, luck or intuition? Now, if I can just get back out without being eaten by wolves or squashed by a giant.
Elderan raises his finger to his lips to signal the humans to remain quiet. Then says quietly "I shall return shortly with reinforcements to get you out. Remain still and quiet. There are wolves and giants about."
Leaving the way he entered Elderan will hug the outside wall until he reaches the hole that the rest of the group entered. When he finds them he will relay what he say. "I have found the children. If we can distract the wolves we can lead them after I open the cage. The cage is rusty and could make noise. Come look."
Elderan will try to get the others to follow him back out of the building to where the cage is located.
Plus not sure how long it takes them to get around to where the rest of us are. I would guess we are no longer int he bedroom by then, but have moved along a bit further. We may even have found the kids outselves by that time...

It is not giant waste - it smells like some sort of rotted animal fat.

As the rest of you travel north past the bedroll, you see a long hallway. You look down the hallway and see a huge icy throne. The passageway is choked with ice. Above you, icicles are densely clustered, their points sharp as daggers.
Elderan slips out of the room, once again apparently escaping the watching eyes of the winter wolves.
The rest of the party move quietly down the hallway. Shayne carefully sidesteps a stray rock on one side of the hallway. Ines, however, does not notice the rock. She accidentally kicks it, and it skitters across the hallway and into a huge chamber.
This oval chamber with high walls of glittering ice resembles a sepulcher. The frozen, hacked-up corpse of a frost giant lies on the floor, entombed in translucent ice, and looming next to it is a woolly mammoth.
Not far from the mammoth, carved from a single block of ice, is a giant-sized throne atop a circular dais. Chiseled into the throne’s backrest is a large rune. An enormous mammoth sits across from the throne. It seems to hear the rock skitter into the hall, and raises its head with a loud snort. The mammoth stares down at you with hate in its eyes. “You are to blame for all of this!” It then lowers its head and assumes a threatening posture.
So we've got Rock, Ines, and Avarice exploring the hole to the south. I assume Shayne is with them?
Elderan, are you going in one of the three front entrances on the east? There's a large central one, and two smaller ones on either side.
Elderan will go in one of the small entrances (the left we can say). If the wolves are with me I will not try to be stealthy but if they are waiting outside I will attempt to go slowly and assess as I go (if possible).

Once those with him are ready, Rock would lead the way into this tunnel he found.

Avarice lightly touches the shoulders of each child, looks deep into their eyes with a smile and casts Prestidigitation to clean and warm the clothes.

((Not sure if Elderan is quietly getting out and back to main group and all without hiccups so I'll wait for clarification on current situation...))
Plus not sure how long it takes them to get around to where the rest of us are. I would guess we are no longer int he bedroom by then, but have moved along a bit further. We may even have found the kids outselves by that time...

Make another Stealth check.
As the rest of you travel north past the bedroll, you see a long hallway. You look down the hallway and see a huge icy throne. The passageway is choked with ice. Above you, icicles are densely clustered, their points sharp as daggers.
Everyone in this group make a Stealth check.
