Re: Strange Aeons 2: The Thrushmoor Terror [IC]
"Of course, but just you two," the giant says, allowing Brother Jaume to pass him by.
Flair goes by Maeni to see if he can't spot the cairn, but he can't. The cairn was not fixed right smack in the middle of the entrance to the grotto to be a trip hazard, but was off to the western edge.
The giant then moves the screen out of the way.
What now, as Dorn begins moving beyond?11APR2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Demons Revisited (2013, Jacobs).

Jens
Seeing as much of their dilemma seems to be whether or not to trust this giant, Jens lowers his own mental barriers, hoping to get a feel for the Giant.

Re: Strange Aeons 2: The Thrushmoor Terror [IC]
As Flair goes over to the pot and sounds out his missive, Jens tries to get a read on the monster .... but it is too inhuman for him.
Meanwhile, as Dorn sends back a telepathic "The cairn is sunken in, probably because the body is no longer there," Tritrion takes the screen and puts it back with a resounding *CLACK!*
"There, that's much better, don't you think?" Marsh Tritrion asks. "Those silly godsfolk won't spoil a good meal for us."
From his filthy bag at his side he pulls out a portion of antler that has been sharpened, and he hammer that into the side of the slat to hold it firmly in place.

Re: Strange Aeons 2: The Thrushmoor Terror [IC]
Flair took a deep breath. That slat being sealed brought his chance of survival down significantly. It was poor before, but now his life laid solely on the march giant's whim. He tepe'd to his teammates before simply nodding. "As you wish, my host."

Jens
Being locked in with the giant... was not how Jens wanted this to go. Perhaps he should have advocated jumping the giant after it opened the way to the exit. Either way it appeared to be time for breakfast and Jens didn't want to offer himself for the pot. He moves to sit and waits to be served his meal.

Re: Strange Aeons 2: The Thrushmoor Terror [IC]
Flair sighed and lowered his bowl. "We're fine! Don't worry!" Flair called back to his teammates, taking the time to tepe them on how the slat was sealed. He turned to his host. "Sorry. They worry." He looked at his bowl for a second before taking a breath and looked back at his host. "Please don't take offense if your stew is too powerful my frail human stomach, though." And with a deep exhale he covered as cooling the stew, he took a sip of the vile concoction.
Spoiler: tepe"He hammered an antler into the side of the stone to hold it in place. Focus your attacks there. Once that's dealt with, it is imperative that you stop him from blocking the entrance to the cave. Once we're past you, hold it off long enough for us to climb up. Use the slat as a shield if you can."

Re: Strange Aeons 2: The Thrushmoor Terror [IC]
Brother Jaume ki-enhances himself, grows, and then punches the hard wooden screen only for his fist to hit him in the center of the forehead .... dazing him!
Spoiler: OOCWhich means he also is effectively insensate and unable to communicate
Meanwhile, inside .... Maeni's not wrong, it does actually smell good.
Flair, you take a taste and .... sonofabitch .... it is actually delicious. Like, this marsh guy really seems to know his way around marsh herbs and the like. You don't have to roll a Fort save at all. Fresh meat, along with some recently procured tubers and root vegetables and simple-plant-based spices, and this is delicious, gods be damned. It is good.
Marsh Tritrion ignores the single loud pound on the door on the other side, ladles stew into a bowl and hands it out to Maeni.
