Prologue V: The Bigger They Are
Mighty were the first-born children of the Gods of Darkness in their days of grace, those days are long since passed. You shudder to imagine trying to squeeze useful information out of an ogre, and you misdoubt their giant kin are that much more clever. Humans love hearing themselves talk if nothing else.
"Doubles time boys, we have some farmers to save before the giants crack their skulls," you call surging ahead half-running half-gliding. No one raises a word in protest obviously. Talking back to an officer when battle is near is inconceivable for a draonian.
The giants look a lot more
human than you had anticipated, big hairy brutes, armored more by their thick muscle and heavy guts than by their scrounged armor. All three of them are bleeding from at least half-dozen arrow wounds each but they seems to pay them little more mind then they would flea bites.
Dumb fucks, you snort internally. If you had a steel piece for every ogre-kin you saw dying from wound-rot because of some "little cut" back during the War you'd be as rich as a Dragonlord
Oddly enough the leader of this pack of boneheads (obvious by the way be harangues his fellows before the walls) seems to me the shortest of them, making up in sheer ferocity what he lacks in stature. You take special note of the glossy black "gut-plate' he has crudely lashed to himself. That does not look like orge work...at least not
recent ogre work... maybe some work of the
Abaqua of old. For now it matters little save that you should endeavor to hit the parts of the creature not covered in plate.
The sivaks spiral downwards to confer with you before the attack. From the way the way the other dracos hiss in anticipation, you can tell their blood is up just as yours is. As odd as the thought of rescuing humans is, the giants make a far more impressive foe. You hear an almighty crash of shattering wood and stone as the gate of the human village finally begins to give way. No more sightseeing for you. How do you want to deal with this?
[] Attack at once. You use battle-magic, the kapaks go in to hamstring the bastards and the sivaks dive from the sky like haws on prey
[] Wait until they have broken the gate and are busy smashing humans, then charge them from behind
[] Challenge the leader, giants are morons, they might even believe you intend to fight fair
[] Write in
OOC: Heroic draconians, what is the world coming to? More seriously in D&D terms Kang is Lawfully Neutral so either option was IC.
