...Where The Company of Heroes Gather and Bond

Describing the scene to the group even as he draws it out on paper, he mentions the tower and its watchman in particular. If he can't teleport them where they need to be, they'll need a solution to deal with him quietly.

Reaching out yet again to control the eye of ether, he extends his senses down through one of the chimneys. Small though they may be, the immaterial yet material form of his eye is smaller still.

Korgazhar kept his activity to a minimum so as not to distract Julian from his magical scrying.

Julian's arcane eye flies through the room. Taking a brief moment to record its layout on his map, he then sends it through the gap beneath the western door.

Having spent the last three hours scrying upon the giant steading, Julian fights off the waves of exhaustion the continual use of his more powerful spells always brought. It was true that he had gotten used to the physical and mental strains that divination magic placed upon its user; however, he'd still expended much of his available power for the day, and would likely need a rest to function at full effectiveness once again. Fortunately, it was already nightfall, and he doubted the others wished to attack the giants after the long day of travel.

"It is done. The map has been made. Our enemies have been scouted, and there are many. Now is the time to plan our attack."

He had his own ideas about how the party should best go about this, but remained silent on that front. He'd explained to them all he'd seen, the number and location of the giants, the servants, the stone giant who seemed to lead the others. He'd left out nothing but the dwarves. They were good as dead anyway, and the Dwur among them might be inclined to do something foolish if he learned his kin were in danger. There was nothing that could be done for them, better not to burden the others with their death.

Ælfric pointed to the blank space in the center of the map.

"I noticed it too, Ælfric. Though I investigated the area thoroughly, I could not find an entrance to any sort of room. I must presume the area is designed for structural support, or otherwise there is some secret entrance that my vision alone could not uncover. Before we rest tonight, I will see if I can learn more about this." he pauses for a moment before addressing the rest of the party. "It is important that we remember our goal. Some individual, force, or entity is banding together the hill, stone, and even frost giants. Our assignment was simply to investigate the giants and determine their strength of number, as well as who is guiding these attacks; however, I would have us do more. We will pacify this threat that brings them together, whatever it may be. This close cooperation and coordination between the races of giants threatens far more than just the March of Sterich. Left unchecked, this could have far flung consequences throughout Oerik. Consequences I would rather avoid, if at all possible. We should not try to eliminate every giant we encounter. That would be foolishness. Instead, we should eliminate those that lead them, and do so as efficiently as possible."
