Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
A D+D Game set in the Forgotten Realms Land of Impiltur.
The characters are
Warsword Thund: Sacred Fist of Torm
Katervali Chernosk: Paladin/Ranger of Illmater
Vimak, Mercenary Goliath Reincarnated as a Lizard Man: Ranger
Amaril: Drow Prisoner Druid.
They encounter a Cloud Giant, who surrenders after they beat up his hill giant ally, while looking for an evil Storm Giant named Roaknir.
Thund: So you have surrendered.
Giant: Yes.
Thund: Is there any particular reason you didn't fight to the death.
Giant: I have fulfilled my obligation. Roaknir is a filthy swine. It is Maug of me to serve him without obligations to others.
The PC's work out an arrangement with the Giant so that he will guard them while they sleep. The next day, they assault Roaknir's throne room, kill him, and enter his quarters. His wife ambushes them from invisibility, almost kills all of them, and then when they finally get her on the ropes, she surrenders too.
Giantess: I surrender! I just had to make a good showing so I didn't shame Stronmaus!
Thund: I accept your surrender.
Giantesss: He was a filthy swine. I only wish to take what is mine by right and leave. He was disgusting. I am happy he is dead!
Vimak: She's leaving? With some of the treasure?
Katervali: Apparently Roaknir did not treat her with any form of respect. (Wincing, has six hit points) She should get to leave with what she is legally entitled to. Besides, she's not evil.
Amaril OOC: I heal the Giantess on the way out. Her life sounds a lot like mine used to be.
Thund: Didn't ANYONE serve this man out of real loyalty? Everyone only served him out of obligation! He must have been the biggest scum on Toril!
