Afamrail watches the giant go back to sleep and heads to the other door.
“There is a very good chance we could set this entire stronghold ablaze and these two would not stir. I suggest we keep going and find the leader’s quarters.”
Afamrail opens the door and looks down the hallway.
The hallway is about 50 feet long, with a path branching left and right (the directions say to go right) jut before the paths is a door on the left wall.
”Do you want to travel straight to the hill giant leader’s quarters or do we want to continue checking rooms as we traverse the stronghold?”
He pauses and looks back down the hallway.
”If he is at a celebration still we might get a few uninterrupted moments to search his quarters before he returns. While I have some time remaining in my disguise as a young ogre, I suggest Tana and I take the lead.”
Afamrail looks at each of the others in turn, trying to discern what they are thinking. He looks down at the two giants as well. Maybe it is a bad idea to let these two live. They may need to come this way in great haste. If they can dispatch them quickly and quietly, no one in the main hall will hear them.
"I think we should go straight there. We don't know how long this feast will last, and I'd like to get there before the leader does." Raine is sure about that part, but she's less confident what to do with the giants. "I'm still worried about how quickly we could do it."
Afamrail nods. Given how drowsy these two giants are, even if an alarm is sounded they should be able to dodge past them and out the front doors or up to the guard tower.
He motions Tana to start out and heads up the hallway and takes the right passage, following the directions they received.
He looks down the passage as he gets to the opening. If they don’t run into anyone he will keep following the directions.
Raine falls into position at the back of the group, once more taking up her custom of watching behind them and trying to ensure they leave no trace. Secretly, she's a bit glad they decided to leave the two giants be. Her goal is to preserve life, not end it, and while she understands that violence and death are sometimes necessary for the greater good, she still hates it every time.
When one of the giants wake up, they mumble in giant
"What is going on?"
In Giant, Tana replies:
You heard the Shorty here. Big Boss have orders. Where find Big Boss?
The giant replies,
"He's at the feast like the rest of em'."
Damn, thinks Afamrail. We do not want to take on the entire stronghold at once. He looks over at Tana.
In giant he says "No good. Hush hush orders. Where you boss room? We wait."
"The leader is at some sort of feast, as are most of the other giants, it seems," Raine relays quietly from outside the door.

The giant says
"Boss don't like us in his room."
Tana also says;
We don't plan to enter, we know Boss not like it. Orders have we. Where directions to?
Tana also glances at the disguised Afamrail, as if awaiting the order to begin 'securing their exit path from the base'.
He gives you basic directions in giant, that I don't feel like having to write out.
Afamrail nods to them.
"Good good. Big boss happy. Go sleep."
(OOC: Was the direction through the other small door they didn't go through or back the way they came?)
"We have direction's to the leader's private rooms," Raine translates.

Tana says:
Thank you. Will tell Boss good things of you. We wait and stand guard. You may sleep."
The directions was through the other door. The giant goes back to his sleeping pose.
Afamrail watches the giant go back to sleep and heads to the other door.
“There is a very good chance we could set this entire stronghold ablaze and these two would not stir. I suggest we keep going and find the leader’s quarters.”
Afamrail opens the door and looks down the hallway.
The hallway is about 50 feet long, with a path branching left and right (the directions say to go right) jut before the paths is a door on the left wall.
Afamrail turns to the others.
”Do you want to travel straight to the hill giant leader’s quarters or do we want to continue checking rooms as we traverse the stronghold?”
He pauses and looks back down the hallway.
”If he is at a celebration still we might get a few uninterrupted moments to search his quarters before he returns. While I have some time remaining in my disguise as a young ogre, I suggest Tana and I take the lead.”

They may need to come this way in great haste. If they can dispatch them quickly and quietly, no one in the main hall will hear them.
He gestures at the two giants.
”Do we execute them?”
"I think we should go straight there. We don't know how long this feast will last, and I'd like to get there before the leader does." Raine is sure about that part, but she's less confident what to do with the giants. "I'm still worried about how quickly we could do it."

"I'm with Raine here. We wouldn't want to be caught as the feast disperses. Time is of the essence, and standing idle is dangerous."
Tana shrugs. "There are five of us. Two sleeping and inebriated Giants should not be an issue if we act swiftly. What are your thoughts?"
Afamrail nods. Given how drowsy these two giants are, even if an alarm is sounded they should be able to dodge past them and out the front doors or up to the guard tower.
