Sam lays down to sleep that night but doesn't get much rest for his dreams are filled with wonder and magic. Having seen magic all about him he had wondered what he could do, a lowly former guard. Then it came to him, with a crashing thoughts through his mind. Symbols flashed in his mind. No, Runes. They could make the difference.
When he woke, he had a splitting headache, but found he had new knowledge. He needed to get to town and a blacksmith.
At breakfast he shares his experience and his desire to try to put runes on armor and weapons and see what can happen.
The night passes and in the morning after a hardy breakfast tge party starts its way back to town.
About mid morning clouds starts rolling in over head. Rain starts pouring down. At first you try to push through but the rain intensity increases and the wind picks. Fearing to continue the moves off the road to seek shelter.
Sam you feel drawn about 50 meters off the road to a cave. The party quickly goes inside as it seems the storm is chasing you in.
The cave is large and cavernous much bigger then its entrance would make it seem. The cave us roughly the Size if a large house. There are sheep off to one side and a large Boulder near the entrance.
Sam looking around you see the runes from your dream on the cave walls. You take a moment looking at the runes. You recognize some nut not all of them.
A large voice booms from the back.
"Hello little giant I see you got my invention."
The rain outside stops as the Boulder rolls infront of the entrance.
Sam coming to his senses and aware of his surroundings, says "Invitation?. Well, yes." he chuckles to himself. "Thank you for your invitation." Its at this point he realizes two things. One, he is speaking in a different language; the language of giants. Second, he realizes he is seeing clearly in this now dark care.
A hill giant stops foward and points at Maz, Marley and crunch. The three of you freeze. The giant then crouches and looks eye to eye with you Sam.
Dark things are coming to this world little giant. We the first race will rise to meet it.
The giant's eyes glow and Sam you see images flash through your mind. A city of giants as far as theveye can see. Then images of a large Army of Elves on the horizon. The city is burning many dead in the streets. A giant Smith is hammering a great spear carving runes into its shafts. The next image shows a great hero pushing back the waves of oncoming enemies. But a great darkness erupts from the battle field.
The power of the Smith and that knight will be your but you are not ready. Learn, grow, stop the coming evil. When your ready we will reveal more to you.
The party finds themselves on the path, the day is sunnyv and nothing is wet.
Marley is up before dawn, practicing his footwork, feints and sneak attack maneuvers outside the barn. At breakfast he listens with great interest as Sam describes his dreams and new interest in runes. "Yes, runes are very powerful..." he nods with encouragement.
As the day's strange events progress he seems quietly perplexed, not sure what to make of it all.
(Without getting into selling things or dividing up gems, Marley has 140gp from the kobold cave/temple. So am now dispersing 35 gp to each party member)
Crunchface wakes up Having had strange dreams about the moon and weird magic. He seems a bit perplexed by the days events as well and accepts the 35 gp gratefully.

If I haven’t offended you, don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll get to you eventually.
Sam Steps forward and with a double thump on the ground with his halberd he grows twice his size, from 6'4 to now being 12' 8" tall. He says "Oh, does someone want to attack poor little us." He says in a more booming voice.

Sam goes "Wow."

Maziara is baffled at the sight of the giant but tries to remain calm since it seems to like, even need, Sam.
Sam will need to purchase Blacksmith tools (20gp).

After a moment of confusion you all hit the road again.
It's a full days ealk back to town.
The rest of the morning goes without incident. You sound the time chatting.
Around mid-day you reach thekingsvroad sbd turn south towards town.
A few minutes later you see someone crying upahead bending over a body.
Marley readies his bow and scans the area ahead around the crying person and body to see if he sees any movement.
Perception: 27
With a 19 you see humans holding in the trees on either side of the road.
(Do we have our new abilities or do we need to wait?)
D&D since 1984
You have your new abilities.
"Ambush maybe," Marley warns the others in a hushed tone. "People hiding in the trees... both sides of the road."
DM: ball is in yalls hands.
(Sorry guys, super busy.).
Crunchface scans the trees looking for the people mentioned.
If I haven’t offended you, don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll get to you eventually.
Maziara looks around trying to see what Marley see’s and readies himself for battle.
“do we think the person ahead is a trap?” He asks curiously. Thinking maybe this is a set up.
Sam Steps forward and with a double thump on the ground with his halberd he grows twice his size, from 6'4 to now being 12' 8" tall. He says "Oh, does someone want to attack poor little us." He says in a more booming voice.
