It is only another couple of moments before Emmy blinks open her eyes again. She glances to Honor. "I led it as far as I could, but..." At that moment an unearthly roar of rage echos across the sky. Emmy glances in the direction the roar came from. "I think I might have made him a bit upset." She says with a half-smile.
After a few minutes the angry voice calms down a bit, and the howls of the wolves pick up their previous hunting cries. The sounds continue South, with the rythmic pounding noises accompanying them. They pass closer to you this time than they had the previous day, but continue off to the South and East of you. Anything any of you wish to do before I move things along to the next day?
Kierro breathes a sigh of relief as the wolves seem to pass by, but of course he does not fully drop his guard after the near encounter. He returns vigilantly to his post at the edge of the castle, taking shifts with his dragons to watch for danger. Even still, he makes sure that both he and the dragons have time to themselves to do their own things, and checks in with Chysen and Sharot to see how they're doing.
Kyrian walks out of one of the towers, his hair tousled and looking overall dishevelled "I do not recommend sleeping in your gear, it is entirely uncomfortable. Did I miss anything apart from the air stamped? I definitely heard that."

“I will take responsibility for what I have done. [...] If must fall, I will rise each time a better man.” ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer.
The night is undisturbed, though the morning sees Kierro and his two dragons winging away East and North. All he would tell you is that he has immediate business and must depart to attend a meeting of the utmost importance for him personally. (OOC: Delta is not quitting the game, just needs to be offline more than usual, so Kierro is doing his own thing for a bit here. He will be rejoining the group when he can.)
Even as he disappears into the distance the sound of howls comes from the South East again, along with that same rythic pounding of the giant's footsteps. It starts to grow louder as the day passes towards midday.
Anything anyone else wishes to do? You would all feel it very unlikely the giant, and their wolves, will not spot you this time around. You should likely be preparing for a fight, or, at the very least, looking to be ready to do some talking.
as she does daily, Maril casts aid on herself and her dragons (3rd level). She is mounted on her amethyst dragon, the amber is circling the castle and watching for the group.
You wait, hearing the howling growing louder and louder, the pounding of the giant's feet increasing with the howls. It is sleightly earlier in the day today when the cries are nearly straight East of you. Today though those cries change in urgency. As soon as they change they start to increase, the sounds heading straight for the castle.
Everyone in the castle needs to give me a general location of where you will be when the giant, and the pack of wolves, reach the castle. Any prep actions need to be posted as well. While doing that, also post your initiative.
Yuno would try to be on the frontlines when the giants attack so she would be pacing the castle trying to follow the sound so she can be the first line of defense.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Higgul will be on the ballista, I don't need to control him for combat.
Honor will be on Emmy. She's cast Freedom of Movement on both of them, and has cast Magic Weapon on her bow. They'll be flying out front of the castle, on the left, at least 60 feet out.
Maril is astride Undoth, the amethyst dragon, and flying above the front part of the castle. She’s cast aid (on herself and dragons, 3rd level) and freedom of movement on herself.
She uses Thaumaturgy to make her voice boom and calls out “Halt your charge, or we will be forced to defend ourselves”.
Undoth prepares to fly forward and use her breath weapon (singularity breath) on the charging creatures.
Ethiem is circling around the clouds in front of the castle, will swoop down if combat starts to target the leader and as many wolves as possible.
On the first appearance of combat, Ethiem the Amber dragon casts Blink on himself and moves into position to use his Amber breath weapon (spark shell) as well.

Leto is on the roof where has has directed Morgan to man a ballista as Higgul is doing until he's able to fight in melee. Saint will be doing what saint does. Staying back he casts Mirror Image on himself just before any foes arrive and keeps as many people between him and the approaching enemies as possible.
Kyrian is standing outside the main gate, flinging small rocks at the walls of the keep. At first he doesn't seem to notice the attack, but after a few moments he looks up and shrugs. Drawing his sword, he walks towards Yuno
"This is gonna be fun. We haven't had a decent fight in weeks."

Yuno nods. She's trying to not let her excitement at the prospect of getting into a decent fight in so long be noticeable... but she's not doing a good job of it.

Emmy glances in the direction the roar came from. "I think I might have made him a bit upset." She says with a half-smile.
During this time, Yuno is going to go near a window or a balcony or something and look outside.
Honor grins. "Well, they were bound to be upset sooner or later. Why not start now?"
