Torsus continues to float, though slowly heads towards the ground, knowing the spell had its limits. Thinking to himself oh, so they think they can just grab and eat people huh? shaking his head in disgust. Killing animals for food was one thing, killing something sentient? That, to him, was horrendous. But it as also the spark for an argument of semantics. Ultimately Aeyd was asking the right questions, and thus he felt no need to interject, remaining ever ready to blast both of them 'away' should they seem to attack.

The bigger of two giants, Obb, looks up. Guh big. Real big. Bigger than me, he says ppointing at himself. Lobb then adds She at Grudd Haug. Home.

"Bigger than you?" Aeyd cocks a brow. "That's... slightly worrisome..." The monk's lips thin into a frown, knitting her brows together now in thought before looking back over to the giants. "Grudd Haug. Where is that exactly?"

It is around this time the time of the most recent question that Narz and Vigo finally arrive on the scene. Which the former gives it hard once over before nodding to himself in acceptance. As he knew Spaz wouldn't be much help in giving a full mental report, he instead mentally commanded the little beast to his side, and puts the finishing touches of the note he had been working on along the way before passing it the Tressym.

"Find the captain first, and let him know." At that, the Tressym flies off to find Captain Dakkurz and deliver a summarized version of current happenings and at least a rough location. Which by Narz reckoning wouldn't be hard to find with the pair of new giant landmarks currently cowering to an elf. That done, Narz quietly makes his way over to Rollo and Claire, offering both some patching up and a healing tonic to help mend their wounds while the interrogation carried on.

For Rollo, if accepted: 14.

For Clair, if accepted: 15.

That way! Thet both say while pointing in opposite directions of each other. Uh no, maybe that way? They both point north and south respectively. Uh oh. No remember. 

Aeyd stares dead-eyed at the giants pointing in different directions, then ultimately saying they didn't remember where Grudd Haug was. "You... You both don't remember where your home is?" She questions, her tone dripping with disbelief. After a minute, she sucks in a breath and steps back. "If you all have any questions, please, go ahead. I... I need to compose myself."

Claire coughs into a clenched fist and looks uneasy.  She remains ready to act if something else happens, but isn't confident in her ability to communicate with the giants.

Insight: 6.
(Seeing if the Giants lied about not knowing which direction is home... not that Narz doesn't believe they are that stupid.)

(More to come tomorrow.)

Its hard to tell. You know know Hill giants are known for their stupidity but it seems unlikely they wouldn't even know how to get home. Still, these two do seem especially dumb for their kind.

In spite of being at least at first side tracked offering and possibly tending to Rollo and Claire, Narz' pointed ears kept an ear open to the conversation. Neither disappointment or confusion ever taints the hobgoblin's features. The races general stupidity and narrow minded focus had been known to him before golden fields, and had only been reinforced with further study of the guidebook. So, it is with a neutral expression he turned his attention fully to the pair and approached within fifteen feet of them following Aeyd's request.

"My name is Narz, and now I have a few questions for you. I will not bother with threats, as I'm sure you both are keenly aware of your grim situation. So, I will be blunt. Can either of you guide us to your leader? Do you know of any other giants nearby that did not join you and your lot in this raid? What tribe of giants does your leader belong to? Do they also have goblins and Ogres under them? Do you know of a goblin leader by the name of Snigbat, and where he might be? And do you have a campsite nearby?" He asked calmly in giant and a pitch slowly to make sure the giants understood and heard him clearly. Narz also pauses just long enough in between questions for the pair to answer.

However, at any point they grow excited enough to forget their situation and look as if they might run off without a second thought, he'd bark an order for the offender to kneel again.

The two giants look confused at all the questions, as if pondering them caused physical pain. Lobb let's out a long "uuuuhh" before finally replying. Oh yes! Can guide back to Guh. She in Grudd Haug. Will know way when in woods! Guh have lots of giants. Stinky goblins and ogres too. Maybe snigbat there? Guh say to get food, maybe he out and get food. It doesn't seem he's confident in that last bit, like he's just saying things so he has an answer.

Seeing that the Giants usefulness was waning and wanting to do his best to assist the situation he floats closer to be just within thirty feet of both giants and speaks to both of their minds at once, speaking in a similar manner to the way they are speaking, and taking advantage of the fact they've never heard his own voice..... his intention to try to make them both think they've just 'came up with the best idea ever' his voice projecting within their minds...

Oh, me have good idea! Can take the strong people who hurt me back to Guh! Have them join us! Then Guh reward me with that thing me want and make me important! Then we have more food! he stopped there, not wanting to overdo it, just in case, and feeling that might work, nodding his thanks to Aeyd for translating as the giants talk as she mentioned previously thus how Torsus would know about Guh and the other stuff, and hoping this might get them within the 'area' without having to fight to 'get there' and perhaps allow some degree of subterfuge. 

Then to Claire, having seen her healing others, flies closer, getting to the ground finally, knowing his spell was near its limit, and speaks to her mentally as well. I took a rather large hit from our friend when he was tossed at me, if you have any to spare, even if it is low, I could use a bit of healing if you please. making sure he was near enough to be touched if needed.

Rolling a 1d20, since i'm not sure what mod urb would want for the voice to the giants:

19

Decept/PersuaPerformance are all +2.. so i put it in the roll instead

 Lobb seems to think its the best idea he's ever had and begins nodding to himself. Yes strong folk come with us. We take to Guh and Guh be pleased to have more strong friends! You come with Lobb and Ogg to Grudd Haug?

Seeing the duo look confused despite his talking quite /slow/ and /deliberately/ and even pause long enough for at least some type of answer is enough for Narz to have held his hands behind his back. Or else he be tempted to let anger and exhausting get the better of him, resulting in the most injuried one perhaps earning a magical, gravity induced brain hemmorage out of spite.

Yet, he couldn't deny they at least answered some of his questions, and even appeared eager to lead them to 'Grudd Haug', if worringly so. For even if confident they were too stupid to actively think of betraying them later, this didn't preclude them from being too stupid as to not try. "Hn.... Yes. But not yet." Narz eventually said in Giant. "We must fix what you broke here. Shouldn't take more than a day. You two will wait until then. If not, you two not leave her alive. Understood?" He states, more than asked, yet waited all the same for a response.

The two giants nods eagerly. Yes yes. We wait! Then we take to Guh! The two giants continue to nod and grovel, not getting up until given some sort of approval to do so.

(Holy Crap! Didn't realize it'd been that long. Sorry for any hold up on my part. x_x)

Narz sighed softly through the nose before turning to the others. His face softens for a second or two, but then his eyes fell on the Tortle. Even if its at most for a second, it's more than enough, it would appear, for the more severe veneer to slip back into place. "Barring any official word from our host, it would seem that we have ourselves a pair of guides. An unexpected boon, eh?" He said.

"At least on the surface. Which will hopefully put us one step closer to solving this whole mess... though, I wouldn't put too much stock in it, considering hill giants... reputation. Still, it is something... *ahem*... Now, I've already sent Spaz on ahead to try and alert the good captain on the current situation. But, if any would like to volunteer, or have the means to further assist in dealing with aftermath, then one of you may. The rest, however, aughta stay here and keep a watch on these two until reinforcements have arrived to put them custody. Nice and simple, eh?"

Almost on cue Captain Thunderblade approaches from the south along with the Captain of the goblin mercs. Well done says the half orc, We can finish this pair off for you or they can join the other captives we managed to secure. You have my thanks for aiding the towns defense. 

The goblin merc approaches and nods in approval. Defeated four giants and took two alive? Well, color me impressed, and it looks like you're all in one piece too.

Clearing his throat, and speaking as loudly as he could to the good captain We'll be needing them alive sir. They intend to lead us, to their leader. he intentionally avoids saying that he was the one who seeded the idea... just in-case the dumb brutes somehow knew common. I don't know for sure how soon we'll be leaving he says, as he didn't understand what Narz was saying, since Aeyd probably wasn't translating that part But for now, the town seems to be safe. But I wouldn't relax... have some of your men search the perimiter and find out where they got in and how, and sweep the area for any ... ambushers or stragglers if you haven't already. 

I say this not because I doubt you haven't already thought of it yourself, but I've learned through my century of life that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Captain Thunderblade nods in agreement though he doesn't look pleased at the idea of keeping the giants alive. Fine, but know this, if they get out of hand we'll put them down. My men are already checking the perimeter, looking for another wave and how they got in. That said I did hear there was damage to the wall that your friend here helped fix, He gestures to Rollo. I already took the liberty of checking it while I was up there killing gobbos. Seems the little bastards were confused and were expecting to walk right through. Their ram couldn't get through the new repairs however so...well good work. I also saw a few of them fall into some traps out in the clearing. I think we could have handled them but a few fell in while fleeing. He laughs loudly at the thought.

 Yes yes its quite hilarious. Dakkurz interjects. This wasn't exactly an easy victory, we are lucky the force was led by dumb hill giants. Any hobgoblin forces who wanted to take the town would have done so easily, she comments with a smirk.

Strog scowls and glares at the Mercenary leader. Is that a threat hob? Weren't some of your own deserters among the goblin invaders? Maybe this was your attempt and it failed, now you're just trying to save face.

Dakkurz smiles wickedly. Believe me good Captain, if that was the case I promise you would have been the first to lose his head. Not that you'd be a threat mind you but only because you annoy me.

Strog looks like he's about to say something but she cuts him off to speak to the party, As for you guys, I'd figure out how to secure your prisoners quick and go see the Abbot, let him know what happened. I'm going to join Gum-gum and the others checking the perimeter. Snigbats clan was here but I've yet to see him. If I'm lucky maybe he'll be among the dead, if not I might need your help. But for now get yourselves secure and report to the Abbot, im sure he'll want to thank you.

All while composing herself, Aeyd had been also listening intently to the responses the giants had been giving to Narz's inquiries. While some questions went unanswered, she perks up at the willingness of the giants in taking them to their leader. Now there were on to something.

At Captain Thunderblade's approach, the monk's gaze rests on him as he speaks, then onto any others who followed along. At the mention of securing their prisoners, her brows knit together in thought as she scanned over the giants. "... Would any of our casters have something to secure the big guys? I have some rope, but..." She trails off, unsure if rope would even be helpful in this situation.
