Krysta, Caelith, Hero, Garor, Newt, Girud, Galdren and Callian - Satisfied this room is empty, you move to the next one, opening the door cautiously.
Just as you break the seal of the door, you hear a shuffling about, a figure moving in the darkness. You open the door fully and immediately spot a loathsome figure slinking about in the darkness. It is a squat creature, a demon, a little under three feet tall and nearly as wide. Its skin is covered with pus-filled sores, oozing their ivory innards and covering its leathery hide with a slick gloss.
Two crimson eyes, glowing with a fiery hate, focus on you and your group in the doorway. It grasps a nearby statue-a tubular snake carving jutting from the wall-and speaks into it menacingly in the tongue of the demons.
[In Abyssal for those that understand it.]
[shadow=red,left,300]INTRUDERS! PREPARE BELOW DECKS![/shadow]
It then shuffles into an aggressive stance, prepared for battle...
{This thing will fight, so don't try talking with it.
}
[Initiative: Caelith, Girud, Gladren, Garor, Hero and Krysta, Callian and the Mane]
{No Map: The mane is within closing distance of all of you.}

Yuri and Romar - Yuri, your project is successful. With some crude tools, like the edge of a dagger or the hilt of a sword and some clever rope use, you manage to build a crude coffin. It looks like some demented madman's project, angles that don't match and pieces that protrude, but it works for now....
A suitable coffin will have to be found later...
The sun sets. The fire is stamped out and the cave is left behind quickly as you make your way into the rising mountains beyond. The path is rocky, but no match for the stable footing of your metal mounts as they crush the pebbles under hoof. The moon rises high in the sky, casting a haloed glow over everything and creating an eerie, ominous feeling.
You sound find out, this feeling is not unjustified.
[Spot Check, Both Successes] As you round a bend in a ravine, you see a huge figure hulking behind a boulder about half of its girth. It looks just like a human, only nearly twelve feet tall and solid bulk.
It's a giant...
It lies in wait, clutching a boulder in one hand with beady eyes watching you, awaiting your next move. It is under the distinct impression you cannot see it, though over half of it stick out the sides of the boulder.
You wonder how to approach this, for turning around and running would surely trigger the toss of a boulder.
