" Yes! And if the giant finds only a little food and no humanoid,they will be more hungry and easily upset. It's an amazing idea! " Atoh will help the cooking. The girl searches for some slow burning plant for firewood so that the foods will take more time to be finished and she and her friends will have enough time to leave the fake campfire. All this time Atoh listens to the sound of the forest. Preparing for the footsteps, very heavy and big footsteps.
@Jek
" Jek, I know you can make sounds, images and maybe fragrance. But can you do the opposite? " Atoh asks the sorcerer while cleaning up the tracks around the campfire. " Like erasing the footprints and smells. Can you do that?"
Chuba has no difficulty harvesting a nice, fat wild boar when she is hunting. It is big, nearly five hundred pounds, and should smell wonderful when roasting on a spit.
The clearing she finds is big, a couple of hundred yards apart, and centered in a area barren of the giant trees they are otherwise surrounded by. The ground is covered in needle litter and dead limbs and sticks, most of which would be ideal for building a roaring fire.
Near evening, Chuba starts the roast 60 feet from the best hiding spot. (Unless her bandmates notice and tell her to move it closer or further; she'll follow whatever suggestions the group offers.) She then hides, waiting for a signal from her bandmates to attack.
" Jek, I know you can make sounds, images and maybe fragrance. But can you do the opposite? " Atoh asks the sorcerer while cleaning up the tracks around the campfire. " Like erasing the footprints and smells. Can you do that?"
Jek will go and use Prestidigitation to start cleaning up where ever they have been. Removing footprints and any just generally tidying up. He will start whistling while he is working, until he realizes that whistling while trying to be discrete is a bad idea.
Jek will as the others as they work "So, how well do Giants see in the dark? "
An hour goes by. Then two. The boar is starting to get nice and charred in spots, and the fats are really starting to break down and release plenty of delicious smelling smoke into the air. Things are pretty quiet for a while, save for the calling of birds and a single Dire Wolf that approached, inspected the fire, and then fled.
Voices, big and loud, in the distance. They're calling to one another again. It doesn't sound like they're getting any closer, though.
Chuba hears the giants talking and whispers to her bandmates. "The giants are talking again. They smell something that smells good, but they can't tell where its coming from and are really confused about its origin. They're trying to look for it, though."
Jek looks to the others "Should I make some noise? Eran said they came to noisy places, right? Make noise, then see if they are coming towards us?"
If the others agree, Jek will cast minor illusion centered on the fire (30ft away). He will make it sound like laughing, people clinking glasses, and some music; basically sounds like people celebrating around a campfire. After a minute, he will not recast and allow the others to listen for the giants again.
(Atoh spoke to Jek. But you can assume she asked Orin as well. )
" Good to know that. We can use that in the future. "
@Jek
" … Have no idea. But based on what I have heard from Chuba. Giants are like humans.They can't see well in the darkness. And I think that's reason why they didn't loot the town in the night"
@Chuba
After hearing from Chuba, Tola the little dragon leaves partner's side. "Sounds like my job. I'll take the pork and lure the giants to the campfire." " No, it's too dangerous. " Atoh tries to stop Tola, but her dragon shakes his head, " Someone has to do this. Don't worry. Do you remember? You can always summon me back to your side." "Tola… " The Halfling girl frowns to her friend and says, " … you want to eat that roast meat so badly? " " Yape"
Tola goes a long way around for not leaving tracks that would lead the giants to his friends. The Luck Dragon uses its fangs and talons to tear off a forefeet from the roast boar. " Oh it's so hot! I would have burned my mouth if I was not with fire sprites." Tola takes a bite and moves to the windward of the giant's voice. " Oh this pork is so Delicious! " Slowly he moves to the detection of the voices… and bite off another mouthful of meat. " It's too bad if someone comes and takes it from me! "
Drake CompanionBiteFToD, pg. 15
You can magically summon the drake that is bound to you in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 ft. of you.
The woods came alive with the sound of merry making around the fire as Jek's minor illusion is cast.
Tola finds himself adrift in a sea of trees that were absolutely monstrous in size, many, many magnitudes larger than the tiny Luck Dragon. He drifts along on the wind with the roasted pork, drawn ever on by the sound of giant's conversing over a distance, and then, before him, is a Hill Giant.
He's an ugly oaf, one hand a series of knobbed knuckles and busted nails the size of large coins, some even bigger. It's dragging a club made from a small tree, its nose tilted up as it sniffs out the source of the meat.
With good food, fresh air and an amazing view of great woods, Tola almost forgets about his mission and starts to enjoy this strange hike. He forgets about giants until one of them is standing right in front of him. " Ah… wanna a bite? " The little dragon offers roast boar. The giant roars!
" Aaaaaiiiieeeeeeeee!!! " Tola screams, shouts and runs toward the campfire. He has never run so fast even when his partner is taking him to the bath. " Atoh! Take me back! It's giant right behind… Oh don't touch my tail!"
In their hiding place, Atoh talks to Jek. " Keep the illusion. Tola and the giant are on this way! I will teleport him back." The girl tries to take the talisman which is used for summoning the Luck Dragon. "Oh no!" And she drops it.
"What are you waiting forrrrrrrr!! " Tola is almost breaking into tears. Luck Dragons are immortal as long as their partners are alive. But he doesn't want to be eaten by the hill giant. The creature never brushes their teeth. He can smell it!
And just when the knobbed enormous fingers are about to clinch Tola's body… POP!
The little dragon disappears with white smoke and reappears next to his partner. Tola still keeps running. Atoh hugs her dragon and whispers to his ears. " It's okay. You're safe now. The giant is… ah … Where are they now? " The Halfling girl carefully peeks from her cover and looks for the creature.
The sound of the giant running in the distance fades and becomes lighter, slower; a jog, a quick shuffle. Walking. It shouted something to its partner who shouted back to it, probably still a half mile away.
The giant struts into the clearing, it's club still white knuckled in one hand. It stops and smiles, a mouth of gnarled, messed up teeth contorted into a crooked smile while it examines the boar. It's clearly confused, however, by the laughter it hears around the boar. It looks very confused, and stops moving, looking around the clearing while it scratches its butt and lets one loud fart.
Then it begins moving around the clearing in a circle, looking for the origin of the laughing sounds. It starts poking at bushes, looking under rocks, and kicking over logs, pausing here and there to look back at the roasting boar and lick its lips.
Its partner shouts something.
The giant stops, licking its lips, and stares at the boar for a moment.
Chuba whispers, "That boy giant called to girl giant to follow. She still coming, but he greedily eating. Trap is set. Make him think female insulting him."
Jek will cast Minor Illusion on the woods between the two giants. He tries to make it sound like the one in the woods calling out again, but insulting the other giant with one of the insults that Chuba taught him. (DC16 Intelligence/Investigation to determine it's an illusion).
Afterwards, Jek will slouch down behind a tree, out of sight of the Giant (he hopes).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Atoh is horrified at the sight of the enormous creature. There was a little wood the same height as her near the campfire. The giant crashed it with his feet like a weed.
Atoh licks her salty lips and reaches for her quiver. She asked Orin to prepare two kinds of arrows based on the voice of different giants. The arrow with a blue feather contains the voice of male giant who is eating the roast boar. Atoh fits the other one with a red feather to the bowstring. She takes a deep breath and exhales it. When her lungs are empty, the girl releases the arrow.
Longbow:Attack: 29 Damage: 13
(By the way, the arrow tip was dulled. It will give Bludgeoning damage instead of Piercing damage.)
The Hill Giant perks up, standing more erect from his position over the roasted boar as the insults erupt from the arrow tip and he reaches back to brush the sore spot now on his shoulder. Grease is running down his chin as he looks surprised, then snarls, chewed pork dribbling from one corner of his mouth. His chest puffs out as he shouts something into the forest. It sounds nasty even for Hill Giant.
