Xed pushes open the door and starts shouting inside to anyone who can hear. "Giants are gone! Where is everyone??"

Maru looks puzzled by the open door but nevertheless enters at the front of the group. Also yelling "Help is needed here!!"
Sep 5, 2018 11:50 pm
The crew is able to easily open the doors, and the reason for the silence becomes apparent: the keep is in ruins. The enormous rocks that have damaged the town are much more plentiful here, and several areas of the keep have been obliterated.

Xalvador waits at the rear of the group trying to cross to the keep to make sure that a watch is kept for any more funny business from the giants.

Qavez directs the townsfolk in. "Keep moving, clear the way for others to enter. Uh, put those who are hurt... over there, by that big rock. No no, I meant the one behind the one you're looking at. Yes, thanks."

If any rocks can be cleared or pushed away to make more room Maru will attempt to do so.

As Qavez ushers the towns folk inside an amongst the rubble and Maru begins clearing stones, they discover the reason for the lack of greeting: the body of two guards who had been crushed by the falling rocks.

Qavez designates someone to continue organizing the townsfolk (Morak, if he's still alive). He walks up to the party and says, "Come on, let's check out the place while they're getting settled." Qavez looks for other doorways, halls, or stairs amidst the rubble.

Climbing over the rubble, Qavez is able to find a way in around the side of the building. Farther from the crowd, he is able to hear some voices inside.
Morak kindly pats Xed on the shoulder as he remarks, "Giants are much better at breaking things than building, little one. To them, we are less than ants."

"I once saw an ant pick up a fruit much larger then its self. So too shall we show our strength!" Maru pushes another rock aside and makes her way towards Qavez

"Oh yeah, me too I guess. I mean the breaking things. Although I guess I'm also smaller than most people. Together, we can lift more things!" Noticing Qavez heading inside, she runs to catch up.

"Hello?" Qavez calls out, hoping the voices respond. He continues to advance towards the sound, guarded in case of giants or looters that might take offense at his presence.
Sep 19, 2018 3:52 pm
Qavez continues his approach. "Got some scared townsfolk back here," he says as he walks closer. "Could we get a little help?"
Still mindful of the possible danger from the unknown, Qavez keeps his eyes open for any snares or ambush sites, and rests his hand on the pommel of his shortsword.

A mail-coifed head pokes up over the rubble, holding aloft a torch. "The townsfolk are here? Why...what...I don't know how we can help them. We were guarding the lady, but, well..." she stutters in response. Then, in response to a voice below she calls down, "Hang on, we'll be right out." She disappears a moment, then returns in the company of three other guards, who clamber over the rubble to join you.

"The lady?" asks Qavez as he waits for the guards. He absently points back to the ruins where the townsfolk are gathered, and falls in line to rejoin the others.

As the last of the townsfolk head over the bridge Xalvador follows along before moving along and joining the rest of the group.
Sep 20, 2018 11:48 pm
The woman replies, "The Lady Nandar, High Steward of Nightstone. She was in the great hall when..." She becomes choked up and can't continue. Another guard pats her shoulder while grimly concluding, "The whole place collapsed. She was underneath. There isn't much hope, and we have no idea what to do. We were just...discussing...it when we heard your call."

Xalvador nods "I see, perhaps you could direct your efforts to ensuring the townsfolk are accommodated here until we are certain the danger has passed? It seems the giants were after the stone obelisk that was in the middle of town. Now they have taken it I would hope they will move on soon and we can return people to those homes that are still standing."
