A giant that farms crops or someone who farms giants?

@Aquanthe

Yes

The Great Alliance

Obligated 4th Wall Break

Lance sat in wonder as he realized, he'd been eating for over two days! But he wasn't getting any fuller, and the food and wine hadn't been dissappearing either! His jaw was starting to get sore. Looking around, he realized that the idle coversations and small talk had stopped. The room was silent. Not to mention, nobody was moving. The old man Gioberto, looked like he was frozen in place, an almost desperate look on his face. The conversing girls weren't moving either. The monks were all stuck in several positions, like they were clay models. Lance felt a little unsettled. He was getting worried about the situation he was in. What had happened here while he was eating?

A crossbow that fires magic? You don't see those everyday.

@Aquanthe

Sure, why not?

@Lord Orgasmo

I forgot to mention, firearms are still currently being made in the world of Aeos. In other words, we are stuck at the hand cannon/fire lance era.

In that case I'll probably just give him a crossbow.

Here's a more detailed list of the spells Ysran can cast, as well as a short description of them.

Spell Descriptions

Eldritch Blast-

A ball of dark energy capable of delivering quite a bit of force, about enough to go through a door. Against living targets, this can knock people down, and it terms of damage, it would take 2-3 to kill a normal person as the darkness burns like a strong acid.

Attract Fish-

Attracts all manner of fish and sometimes other aquatic creatures to a singular point. The range can vary from a few inches to several feet.

Summon Shambler-

A zombie-like minion is summoned to do Ysran's bidding. It can follow simple commands such as "Hold this" or "Go there". If told to, the Shambler will follow another person's commands until told otherwise by Ysran. It prioritizes Ysran's commands first.

Summon Fish-

A fish (or other aquatic creature) is summoned much like a Shambler. These can be anything from a goldfish, to a Great White Shark. However the general rule is, the bigger the creature, the shorter time it has before it is unsummoned. This can be delayed, but requires great concentration from Ysran.

Fishscales and Greater Fishscales-

Creates a layer of Scale-like armor around the skin. It doesn't turn your skin into scales,it just created a layer of them on top of the skin. Greater Fishscales is stronger, but normal Fishscales can be cast on others.

Heal-

Can heal most wounds, poisons, and some diseases. This spell however costs quite a bit of mana, and spell casting time can take a while.

Breath of the Deep-

Fills an opponent's lungs with water, drowning them. However first, Ysran must mentally overcome his opponent. The spell also takes a moment to cast, and only lasts as long as Ysran concentrates.

Another thing about Ysran's magic is that in addition to mana, it also costs a bit of sanity to cast. So if Ysran goes around slinging spells super fast, he'll likely break down and start laughing uncontrollably or get unreasonable paranoid. Stuff like that.

The Great Alliance

I'm ready to begin as well, but perhaps we should let our younger companions finish their conversation first eh? In the mean time, I'm starved!

Lance looked around at the various meats, fruits, and vegetables. Finding a piece of Venison cooked to his liking, Lance had soon devoured the whole thing. Reaching out for the wine, Lance decided that now probably wasn't the best time to get tipsy. Lance continued to quickly devour more food, as if he hadn't eaten in days. Actually, only now does Lance realize how little he's eaten on the way here. Perhaps it was all the exitement, or perhaps it was something else entirely? But for right now, there's food to be eaten!

Guess I'll make my character sheet now.

Ysran Stormreach

Name: Ysran Stormreach

Title: Magician of the Deep

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Race: Elf

Personality: Generally very curious. Fairly carefree and loves to make others laugh.

Weapons: Mainly his magic, but when it comes to close quarters, he has a revolver and a Longsword.

Skills/Magic: Ysran uses a variety of Eldritch spells, including: Eldritch Blast, Attract fish, Summon Shambler, Summon Fish (Although this can be almost any aquatic creature) Fishscales and Greater Fishscales. Not to mention basic illusions. He is also trying his best to learn 2 new spells: Heal and Breath of the Deep.

History: Ysran Stormreach is the son of a very successful business man (and woman) who owned Stormreach Harbor. After their untimely death, the company was left to Ysran. Instructed by a family friend, Ysran became very successful like his parents. However, Ysran grew bored of the harbor, and decided to roam the vast world as a traveling Magician. Eventually he came across a book that would change his life forever. A book containing the secrets to Eldritch and Occult magic. Real magic. Ysran's dream. Returning home, Ysran learned about a secret Occult language and soon was able to conjure a ball of force, and soon a Shambler (a zombie minion basically) After making a name for himself as "The Magician of the Deep" His efforts soon led him to Brazil, where an aquatic diety revealed himself to Ysran. After completing a few tasks for him and his people, he was granted great understanding of the Eldritch, and can now fluently commune with them, as well as learning a few new spells. He now seeks out more knowledge and spells to fill his collection.

TL;DR, He's a street magician who knows actual magic.

Ayyyy, Mind if I join the ride?

The Great Alliance

Lance turned to the old man, a bright smile appearing on his face.

"Yes indeed, I am. You must be Gioberto then?"

Lance had heard of this man, but never thought he'd see him in person. A barrage of questions entered his mind. However Lance decided this was not the time nor the place to bombard this man with mundane questions.

The Great Alliance

Lance stood in wonder at the magnificent mountains, taller than any he had seen in Eberron, but not for long. Quickly skipping up the seemingly endless steps he came to a great gate, which was soon opened by monks. He was lead through the Monastery, making sure to take mental notes of the layout. Eventually he was taken to a massive dining hall with all manner of food, wine, candles, and most importantly, potential friends and allies.

Scanning the room Lance noticed two small women at the table, dressed in fur coats, next to an old man, out of place from the rest of the monks. "These must be who I'm supposed to meeting with," he thought to himself. Lance decided It would be best to sit beside the old man and young ladies and with any luck, make some new allies.
