Both of the giants went down within seconds of each other, the first one in flames as the skin on its head burned from the fireball, the other after receiving several wounds in vital areas. The enflamed one squirmed as it hit the ground with a thud, shaking the area around it as it continued twitching, the sickening smell of flesh burning filling the air.
The other stumbled then fell down, blood leaking from the arrows and cuts on its neck and head. It landed face down near the other. The ground shaking again as the massive beast went down for the count, a crimson pool of blood forming underneath it. All six of the giants were dead, their bodies laid in various positions of death.
"I'm sorry, my ice queen, next time I'll leave you on the cold ground while I go save the day." Aldred replied with a slight smile on his face, his voice brimming with sarcasm. He grasped her hand, removing her grip from him, then rose to his feet, turning towards Emilia.
"Thanks for your aid, the name's Aldred. We'll talk later, after the two other giants terrorizing the town are taken care of." He said with a grateful, then walked out of the inn through the large hole in the wall, his eyes scanning the area, noting the four dead giants. Then the two final ones dropped dead, one right after another, one in flames.
"Make sure they're dead!" He shouted across to others, making sure they heard. The last thing he wanted was for them to walk away, then one of the giants got back up and attacked the town again. If he learned one thing from fighting so many battles, it was to make sure the enemy was dead.
"Then when that's done meet back up in the tavern!," He said. "Er, what's left of it." He added, in a quieter tone after noticing the massive hole, the boulder and how a large chunk of the building was gone as the giant had fallen onto it. Nothing some repairs couldn't fix. Aldred then turned back around, reentering the inn, approaching Emilia and Sipley once more.
"The beasts are dead." He said with a sigh of relief, then picked up a knocked over chair and sat down, tired from the battle, as he sat he realized a good portion of his armor was covered in giant's blood. It would take too damn long to scrub that out.

Yeah don’t ever recall BLM charging the US Capitol building, scaling the walls, attacking Capitol police and breaking windows to enter.

I will get a CS up sometime tomorrow.
I'm off to work. The Co-GM has the reins.
The giants moving towards the cabins both paused as they were overcome by arrows and a strange mist of fog. One of them took an arrow the back of neck, causing it to yelp in pain. It turned around to see the attacker but its vision was block by the strange mist. Both of the giants only seemed to become even more angered as a result, then Faervel lunged at the back of one of the giant's legs, causing the beast to wildly slap a hand downwards, making contact with the wolf and sending it bouncing to the side.
The giant running towards the people by the inn continued running as the arrow bounced harmlessly off its hard kneecap, the beast continued moving as it came closer, its mouth agape as it prepared to attack. Right as it was about to, Aldred came from seemingly out of nowhere, running as fast as he could, his sword clenched in one hand. He paused midstride, putting himself in the position where if he timed his strike right could hit the creature right in the back of its leg and likely send it to the ground. As it drew closer, he began the swing and connected, the blade slicing into the giant's backleg, causing blood to spray from the wound as the giant seemingly collapsed.
It hit the ground hard, sliding along the ground as it was sprawled out face down. Aldred quickly moved, coming from behind the creature. He slammed his sword repeatedly into the exposed back of the knee, causing the giant to grunt in pain every strike. He paused and walked onto the giant's back, stopping on the top of its back, right behind the head. After ducking a futile swing by the giant, he swung his great sword down, tearing into the back of its head. The beast stop squirming after several long seconds of Aldred twisting the blade. Once it was done, he jumped off of it, moving towards Sipley's down form, sheathing his bloodied sword along the way.
"She might have a concussion, she helped me take down one of the beasts, guess she must have gone down with it when it toppled over in death, same thing happened to me, but I'm wearing enough armor that I could probably fall of a church with no injures" Aldred said with a smile to Lucio as he too knelt down near her body, his expression changing. "It was my fault, should have tried a different way to take it down, maybe not let myself fall into its grip." He said, his tone one of anger at himself, then he reached down and lifted Sipley off the ground, hoisting her over his shoulder before turning to the others
"Go help the others if you are able. There's two more of these monstrosity's left, they seem to have them on the ropes but you never know with these things. Make sure they are dead. I'll find some aid for this one." He said to the group, another order, though not as harsh as it seemed. Then Aldred began towards the damaged inn, walking through the large hole on the side.
As he entered the damaged tavern, he noticed a woman kneeling over the bartender, magic emitting from her hands as she tried to resurrect the man, who was already gone. Aldred never wanted civilians to get dragged into these kinds of battles, but sometimes it couldn't be helped. He paused, laying down Sipley's injured form on the floor, clear out of the way of any rubble. Then approached the woman, recognizing her as another one of the people he had been told about who would join their adventuring company.
"I'm sorry for your loss, miss," Aldred said, his voice calm, his facial expression one of sorrow, he had said the same thing too many times before, often during the war after searching through orc assaulted villages for survivors He hated saying it each time. "One of the people fighting the beasts suffered a head injury, she could use some aid." He added, looking at Emilia.

I'm interested, I love Star Wars, particularly the Old Republic era.

Shit, guys, I'm absolutely swamped this weekend. Definitely not gonna be able to post today and tomorrow. I might have to pull out, cause I probably won't be able to even remotely keep up :/
Think we might need to slow down the IC pace in general, it's getting kind of crazy. I mean I can keep up with it, but some of our fellow RPers in this RP have other commitments that come first.
Midori said
Hooray! Now I just have to come up with something to insert her into the story.
Maybe she was in one of the rooms in the inn, and came down towards the end, right before the inn was smashed in by the boulder?
Midori said
I already made my CS it's on
And accepted!

Heat? Can you read my mind? I was actually thinking about making the giant kick Lucio, but decided to let you the GM control the giants as you had been doing.
I may or may not have telepathy. ;)
Pirouette said
The kill should go to whoever is able.
Right. Whenever I hint at killing an enemy, that is a very good opportunity to go for the kill.
The giant closest to the inn yelled in pain Lucio danced around it, the beast was angry and began kicking around it, one of the kicks from its large feet connecting with Lucio who was knocked back by it. Just as the giant thought it was fine, its face was ignited in flames as Mel's fireball connected, causing the monstrosity to roar in a mixture of pain and shock, it's large hands slapping at its face as it tried to put out the flames. The giant in its shock lost balance and fell over, right onto the inn, knocking down the back end of the building. It laid painfully in the rumble for a moment, its face still covered in flames, now was the opportunity to go for the kill on the creature. The opportunity might need last that long as a giant was bounding towards its fallen companion as well as the normalfolk surrounding it.
The giant charging that was getting attacked by Rion raised a hand to cover its face, then turned its body just enough so that the arrows would harmlessly bounce off of it, which they did. It stopped going forward, a thought seemingly going through its mind as it changed directions, going to the left, towards several cabins containing townsfolk. It was likely trying to draw attention away from its brethren. Another giant following its lead.
The other giant towards the back of the group grunted as Bregil fired arrows into the weak point on the back of its knees. It grunted as its large form stumbled forward, falling to its knees. It still managed to turn around and take several swipes at Bregil and Faervel. But for the moment it was stuck in the vulnerable position on its knees. Right as it looked away, Aldred came bounding from another direction, blindsiding the creature as he jumped towards it, stabbing his greatsword right where the ribcage and heart would be if the creature's anatomy was anything like a human's. The blood actually pierced through the thick skin as the attack came from point blank range.
"Go for the neck!" Aldred ordered Bregil and Faervel, the act bringing back memories when he was a commander during the war. He continued twisting the blade embedded in the beast, causing grunts of pain and surprise. The giant bringing a fist towards the armored man who tried to duck, but was hit by it, albeit not at full force, but just enough to make him lose grasp of his weapon.
