Marav laughs, "I am THE druid!" He pauses, "Well I am learning, but I have a few tricks up my sleeves." He brightens suddenly... "Since it sounds like you are gonna join us against the giants... ever ride a Dire Wolf into a fight against a giant?"
Marav laughs, "I am THE druid!" He pauses, "Well I am learning, but I have a few tricks up my sleeves." He brightens suddenly... "Since it sounds like you are gonna join us against the giants... ever ride a Dire Wolf into a fight against a giant?"
"I actually was a wolf rider for a little while..." Urgala smiles. "But that was a long time ago. And didn't you say that you were gonna go and attack the giants head-on?"
"Well as I see it, my job in this fight is gonna be to keep that giant held up and slow them down so the casters can hit them from a distance. I am hoping the giant will ignore everyone and just concentrate on me for a bit."
Marav gets serious, "This is probably a one way trip, not going to lie to you. If those giants keep coming they could kill everyone down tot he last babe in arms. If I can slow it down long enough for even one more to have time to get out of town I will do it, but with an experienced wolf rider on my back we will stand a better chance of surviving."
It looks like the smithy at T 17 is on a little hill of its own, Flint will lead his group there and try to rouse anyone he encounters along the way.
In your vicinity are Rip, Foehammer, and a couple villagers that ran northwards to their cottages when you started yelling.
As you approach the hilltop smithy, Uldinath’s Arms, a woman in a smith's apron comes out the front door holding a horseshoe. "What in the world is going on, Ghelryn? Who's shouting? What's this about giants?"
Responding to Ulgar's remark about Marav being a druid, "He is; but Marav, if you have a bow, I think it's best to shoot from afar - dire wolf or no, giants hit hard. Those orcs will start swarming us when we start attacking the giants, we'll need close combat support then - and we don't know where the others are or if we'll join up," Ink's voice trails away in resignation as Marav does what he does.
Hearing Flint's voice boom, Ink remarks, "Well then, at least I don't have to have Quill send on another messaging run. Angel - I don't think you need to warn the Lord Protector anymore. Urgala, lead the way to that rise you mentioned, let's see how many of these beasties we can pick off from range."

Urgala, lead the way to that rise you mentioned, let's see how many of these beasties we can pick off from range."
Urgala nods. "Follow me!" she begins to lead you to the center of town. "We'll take the paths around Uldinath’s Arms, that's got the best view."
"Ink they can through boulders farther than you can cast. If I get in danger my form will drop and then I will switch to the bow."
"I'm still not convinced," Urgala says with mixed trepidation and—you detect it—just a hint of excitement. "I don't have another form that I can change into. This form's all I've got! But let's get the lay of the land. Hopefully the Lord Protector is able to gather some of the Twelve to help defend the town."
"Hopefully we'll run into the others. I don't like to be separated from them while we're fighting. On the bright side, the enemies are on flightless birds this time and we're not fighting atop a tower thousands of feet in the air."
As you approach the hilltop smithy, Uldinath’s Arms, a woman in a smith's apron comes out the front door holding a horseshoe. "What in the world is going on, Ghelryn? Who's shouting? What's this about giants?"
The dwarf waves at the woman. "Get inside, Harriet!" he says. "No time to explain girl! Giants are attacking the town, and we're needed to defend it!"
"Hopefully we'll run into the others. I don't like to be separated from them while we're fighting. On the bright side, the enemies are on flightless birds this time and we're not fighting atop a tower thousands of feet in the air."
"Actually, some distance in this situation might be useful - if we can attack them from a few different sides, we might force them to split up. And I'll be using my bow for now, Marav, good from within 50 yards, but I can still hit a target, sometimes, from 200 yards away. We just need to make sure then don't get a giant hammer or giant sword close to us." Following Urgala, "Lead the way, Urgala... and it sounds like you've been craving some excitement away from your inn... nostalgia, I presume?"

Following Urgala, "Lead the way, Urgala... and it sounds like you've been craving some excitement away from your inn... nostalgia, I presume?"
Urgala smiles ruefully. "I...much prefer retirement," she says. The her smile quickly fades. "Ever since...well, I'm just glad to be retired, is all. But it wouldn't be right to sit this one out." She grips her shortbow determinedly.
As you round the bend, you are met by Narth Tezrin. "Giants?" He says. "Count me in!" He has a shortsword strapped to one hip, and a hand crossbow on the other.
// Giants rushing should take about 15 minutes to reach the town, that would give Flint time to get suited up and some tactical positioning. //
Marav laughs, "I am THE druid!" He pauses, "Well I am learning, but I have a few tricks up my sleeves." He brightens suddenly... "Since it sounds like you are gonna join us against the giants... ever ride a Dire Wolf into a fight against a giant?"

// Quick Positioning Information, to my understanding //
Rip and Flint are exiting Foehammer's Forge (T18) with Ghelryn Foehammer in tow.
Ink, Angel, and Marav are just coming from the Apothecary/Northshield House (T23/T10) with Urgala following.
// That makes for two groups that are about 400 feet from each other, one group at the north end of town and the other towards the east. //

Using thaumaturgy to triple his volume: "GOOD FOLK O' TRIBOAR, THAR BE GIANTS COMIN' FIGHT IF YER ABLE 'ER FIN'YE SOME COVER!"
Then: "YE GIANTS STAND DOWN! YE'LL BE NA MATCH FER THIS TOWN!"
"Well as I see it, my job in this fight is gonna be to keep that giant held up and slow them down so the casters can hit them from a distance. I am hoping the giant will ignore everyone and just concentrate on me for a bit."

Flint casts aid on himself, Rip and Foehammer.
Smiling (sorta) at Foehammer, "hopefully that's th' worst that happens ta ye today me friend."
"Ink they can through boulders farther than you can cast. If I get in danger my form will drop and then I will switch to the bow."
