"Ya know if ta keep sticking yer head in holes.. something is gonna bite her face.." Oscar would say as his armor clanks and rattles with every step. "But if ya want to check ut out... I suppose I can come along."
While you are all talking, Bree with a 14 passive perception notices...
a section of the rocks higher up on the pass seems to shift. With her attention drawn to it there's a boulder sitting at an odd angle that looks a lot like a head, with a face, and eyes that are staring at the group. You also notice that are two "trees" with no branches, laying suspiciously against the cliff in a way that someone would set down a club.
Bree cocks her head this way, then that way, then back again. "That sure looks like some sort of person..." She says as she angles her head back again. "Do you guys see that?" She points, quite blatantly, at the thing she noticed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Oscar would look towards the figure Bree pointed out and squint his eyes hard... "help me get a good look vrai. goddess..." The halfling would mutter as he cast guidance on himself.

"Bree... I dont know what it is but it's lookin at us. I Don't back down from a fight... but that thing could squish me with it's big toe!"
You can see clearly that it is a giant. More specifically, a Stone Giant. Not that any of you have seen one in the flesh before but you know that there are giants in the high mountains and have heard stories of them.
While you're watching it separates itself from the stone around it and holding out it's hands in a placating gesture, speaks in a low rumbling voice "You've nothing to fear little ones. I had been waiting here for someones, although those someones wasn't you but your masters. You must be the students? Have you seen your masters? Are they, by chance, in HIckorydale. I would like share their council.""
"Nope, they left already." Bree says, skipping forward to the giant. "Wow, that is one big club, do you think I can even lift it?" She asks, trying to lift up the giant's club from the ground. "Nope, wow that is heavy..." She glances up at the giant. "We are heading to town to get some puppies though, you want us to bring a message to our masters?"
"What on earth are ya talking about?" Oscar say with a confused look. He would take off his helmet and scratch his shaggy brown hair. "Anyone else understand what their saying"
(Oh, I think someone was copy and pasting to find out what that said even though they don't speak giant! It will be fixed in a second though.)
The giant makes a grunting sound and hold up his finger. He then tosses a small stone at his head and it begins to orbit it. He then says in Common "I'm sorry. It has been a long time since I've spoken to anyone other than my own kind. I trust you can understand me now?"
"I was guessing that you must be the students and asking if your masters are in Hickorydale? I have an important matter to discuss with them"
He chuckles at Bree trying to move the club "Careful little one. I would hate to have to inform your masters that you crushed yourself with my club!"
"By the godess that is a neat trick innit!" Oscar would say as he puts his helmet back on and walks towards the stone giant. "Yeah we're the students. We're Heading off to figure out who keeps sending flaming ships full of dead bodies down our river."
The giant looks you all over and grunts "Huh, yes. We've seen the burning lights in the sky . Trouble in the mines over the river but that's not what concerns us. I've been waiting here to speak to your masters for many days but they haven't passed. Are they not in Hickorydale then? Well..." He scratches his face "Do you think you'll see them where ever you're headed off to?"
"They ain't back home at the dale." Oscar would say as he moves closer to the giant and looking him up and down. "They might be where we are headed... Suppose you can tag along if ya like... " He would say with a smile.

(Nope, no copy and paste. I am blind so the formatting you did, which someone just informed me was there, did not come through. My software read it as normal text. Sorry.)
Aaah! Gotcha! No worries. I had actually typed it all and then went wait a sec, does anyone speak giant? But good to know that I'll actually have to type gibberish if no one knows the language!
The giant smiles at Oscar "I think I might stand out travelling with you. Ha, even if I crawled" He chuckles to himself "But perhaps you've been taught well, and can be of some help, so I will ask you. Have animals been acting strangely in Hickorydale?"
"Nope." Bree says with a shake of her head. "But just last night I had this weird dream about two shadowy puppies that attacked our camp." She chuckles. "Can you believe that, puppies that are made of shadows and attacking us? Some dream huh?"
(I realized I messed up my compass points. I edited the above post. The smell is coming from the west. From the direction of Neversink swamp)
That's what happens when you wear a helmet your whole life!

Gallo says, "I vote for pushing forward as far as we can. Would much rather camp in the nook of a valley or something like that."
"Probably just the swamp." Bree says with a shrug. She nods forward. "How far you guys want to go before camping?"

Gallo looks at Bree and says dead seriously, "That was not a dream. Faleon almost died."
