Yeah as said, thank Kel, then ask about the thing. From the looks of it he's seen such a beast before. Are they common? Do they plague the village?

"OHGODOHGODOHGODOHGOD-WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

"Kel-I don't know what the hell that thing was, but I reckon from the number of arrows you just put into it, it wasn't nice.
Thank god you were there to help me."

Grunt thanks, ensure it is dead, retreat and rest, thank Kel later.

You ask, in no uncertain terms, what the thing is, while thanking the hunter for saving you from possible burning death. Kel responds, panting as he loads another bolt, that it's a creature of fire from the pits of the earth, dwelling beside the hot, molten rivers beneath the surface.

There are more people coming, with the rest of the hunters leading. The entire village is coming to your defense, with whatever weapons they can carry.

"I've only seen one of these once before," Kel says in between gasps of air, "It killed at least a hundred before they put it down. But that was far from here. Very far."

"Thank you," you tell him, patting him on the shoulder, being careful not to hurt him, "I'm glad you were here to help me."

He smiles, turning to the bleeding corpse to retrieve his daggers, "It's nothing. I would do the same for any others in my family."

Thanks be to Cazic.

>>7831670

Well, we could go around armed, or make sure we have our magic about us next time. Maybe the former would be good. Having an axe to chop wood, or monsters, is always useful...

>>7831726

Look at him intently. 'Believe me, Kel, when I say I appreciate being part of this family and village.'

'Is there an opening to the underworld near this place, though? Or is it merely a beast that wandered here?'

This sounds like a good reason or excuse to organise defence...

>>7831726
>I would do the same for any others in my family.
D'aaaw-If we weren't giant sized, I'd give Kel a big hug
A heck, let's do it anyway!

>>7831726
>He smiles, turning to the bleeding corpse to retrieve his daggers, "It's nothing. I would do the same for any others in my family."

Wait. He just told us that this thing is massively powerful, said something nice about his family, and now is going near it when it seems to be dead?

DON'T DO IT! Every trope is pointing towards this thing getting back up and killing you as soon as you get within reach!

>>7831780

Question is, why did this thing turn up here?"

>>7831782

>>7831782

<BEATS CORPSE SAVAGELY UNTIL STICK SNAPS IN TWO>

>>7831812
It's the only way to be sure.

I think we should retrieve those daggers for him...

rolled 4, 3, 2 = 9

>>7831765
You thank him again, and tell him you are glad to be a part of his family, and then you give him the best hug you can muster without hurting him, bending down on one knee and wrapping your arms gently around his armored frame. He hugs you back, assuring you that he would gladly do whatever is necessary to make sure you and the rest of the village survive.

As your farmer fire support arrives, swinging shovels and scythes in every direction, you ask Kel where it could have come from. He says that the only tunnels he knows of in this area lead to your cavern, and if it came from there, it would either have run into you a long time ago or approached the town from another direction.

Try channeling the rage and pain mustered from our encounter into our magic in hopes of getting something off just in time to nail that motherfucker, ice beam hopefully.

You reach image limit, we keep going.

>>7831876

Don't give in! All behind you, SubDM.

But meanwhile... we need to think of something else to do with the peasants. What are the tasks at hand, just for another update?

>>7831902
Essentially, yes. According to Kel, the last one was killed the same way, or it would obviously have woken up while it was being gutted by butchers.

I suggest we rest and then continue with our plan of spreading seeds / planting hedges etc. After this is done, we need to consider arming the village to ensure this shit does not occur again, as Kel said they can kill hundreds.

>>7831928
agreed.

>>7831928
Let's find out about this thing first though-Let's ask our resident cool old guys if they know anything about it's properties or if someone could summon this kind of thing.
Also, is it edible?

>>7831924

Gutted by butchers?

Wait, gutted by- what on earth would people want from the beast? Is there something valuable in it we could use?

>>7831938
I'd fuck her

>>7831954

We're not touching that shit, god damn, it could've killed us.

>>7831928
Sounds like a plan.

>>7831571
Do we have clothes on? Might alter our reaction.

>>7831970

Already stated yes.

Xenu makes his approach to the unwary faggots. He observes for a long moment, giving them a moment of his pity, before he begins to recreate their story at a whim. Because Xenu is a fucking alien. Aliens do this.

Ask Kel and assorted farmers how often do random monsters like this show up?
Also, when we next go hunting, ask Kel to tell us more about his army days.

RANDOM ENCOUNTER TIME GUYS. ITS A FUCKING BATTLETOAD.

rolled 5, 2, 3 = 10

The butcher/farmers immediately set to work on the thing, searching for breaks in its armor and sliding their tools into the gaps, prying great, shining plates of metal off of its steaming hide. Sahl and the others ask you if you're alright, swarming over you like anxious parents as you assure them that you're fine.

You ask Kel about arming the peasants, just in case, but he replies that the quickest way to disable them or turn them away is to hit they eyes, and the only way you'll get close enough to do that with an axe or a sword is by losing dozens of men distracting it. The best weapon for dealing with them is a crossbow, which would be difficult to make with the tools at hand, and are more expensive than you'd think. In his opinion, it'd be a waste of effort, as things like this aren't exactly common fare in the deep forest. Still, if you think it's necessary, he'll see about training more bowmen.

Ask Kel more about the last time he saw something like this
Was it summoned, was it natural
He said it killed hundreds-was he part of the army at the time?

>>7832043
this.

>>7832029
Well, once the economy perks up a bit with the excess of food we should be producing, we might be able to trade for some crossbows in that bigger town who's name I don't remember.

And ask them why they are butchering it.

>>7832051
Yeah, is there anything special in it's corpse we can use? Could we use its hide for armor or building materials?

>>7832029

He was in a large town to the far West, over a hundred miles past Fain. It crawled up out of a mineshaft, slaughtering workers and spitting fire. Most of the local militia were swordsmen, near-useless against such a thing. Only the bowmen, aiming for the eyes, eventually brought it down. He was part of the closest garrison at the time, and he arrived just as the fight was ending. It was horrifying, but it was by no means a common occurence.

>>7832079
Oh god wait til you see what happens when you do.

"Kel. As weird as it sounds, I don't think that thing was violent. Or at least it wasn't the blinding hostility of a stupid beast. Are these things inteligent?"
Also, are they edible?

rolled 5, 1, 3 = 9

>>7832066
The hide is covered in a tarnished, silvery armor that seems to absorb light from certain directions. Kel informs you that the plates are incredibly sturdy, and can't be shaped or softened by anything he's got. They were forged in a place where rock runs like water, and without a bellows and a furnace, there's no way he can get a high enough temperature to melt it.

As for the rest of it, the meat is horrid-tasting but extremely nutritious in small quantities, fortified with a great density of essential minerals. One of the purifying organs has been known to contain gems, and almost all of them are made of a material that is entirely fireproof and heat-resistant, yet flexible. The eyes, if undamaged, are covered by a transparent casing that can be flattened into sheets to make windows. As for the limbs, the blades are solid pieces of metal like the armor, and can be used in weapons or farming implements.

>>7832165
Suh-weet loot!
Alright-let's help with the striping and stacking
The plate sounds heavy, maybe we should use our giantess strength to help move it.

>>7832165

This seems like a blessing in disguise.

rolled 4, 3, 1 = 8

>>7832136
It was fixated on you, to the point of reaching out to you without attacking. Perhaps, as was suggested, as a being of heat it was curious about a being of cold.

Almost all of the organs are fireproof, so we should have the women work hard on crafting an apron for our trainee blacksmith as this will prove highly beneficial and a good piece of equipment, should it be possible.

>>7832198
Aww, poor thing just wanted a friend. WELL YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT!

Look in the organ that sometimes has gems. Pray for lots of gems.

rolled 3, 6, 2 = 11

>>7832193
The butchers, directed by Kel, tear apart the smoldering corpse, prying off the armor and cutting the thick meat into manageable chunks. The plates are still a bit hot, but you manage to carry them pretty easily, dipping your hands into the stream after setting them down to cool off.

It takes about an hour and a half to break the heavy parts into sections and move them, and after that, it's just a matter of removing the useable portions and discarding the rest. Even this close to the town, scavengers will carry off whatever is left behind.

>>7832207
I'm wondering if you can make a leather-type material from the organs? It seems a bit odd, but if it works, then it'll be huge step forward for the smiths.

You could use two of the limb-blades to extend its reach, or turn it into a hybrid halberd, but there's no way to fasten them securely without a blacksmith and enough heat to melt the blades.

>>7832401

Trolls were better back in 2005, all we have now is children and idiots.

>>7832364
Then we need an anvil.

Also, if the plates aren't shaped correctly (apparently they can't be shaped) is there any chance they may be able to trade them for things we can use next time they head to the town?

Good thing my motivators are here to make this thread good.

How large are the blades? Could a hilt be fashioned around some and be used as human-sized swords?

rolled 5, 6, 6 = 17

>>7832433
Yes, they can be traded. The material they are made of is called Magma Steel, and it its worth matches its rarity. One of the large ones can buy an anvil on its own.

>>7832419
Which is better-axe or Halberd?

>>7832433
"When all you have in an anvil, everything looks like a hammer."

Wait, I think I messed that up...

I'm not sure trading the plates would be such a good idea; it raises the question of how a small village was able to kill it, and I'm not sure if we would be able to answer that satisfactorily without letting on that they have a giant helping them.

>>7832433
Your butthurt is tangible. This isn't trolling.

rolled 3, 6, 5 = 14

>>7832447
The blades are as large as your forearm but very light; they would be perfect as scythe-blades, but their curvature and large size would make them unwieldly as hand weapons in their current state.

>>7832449
Good, though the only thing I worry about is that a town that managed to kill this thing without loosing anyone might draw unwanted attention... We need to ask the elders if they think it is safe to trade them or if we should hold on to them until we can find a way to shape them ourselves?

rolled 1, 2, 6 = 9

>>7832457
Axe is choppy, spear is stabby.

Halberd is choppy AND stabby.

>>7832449
If it is so rare, it may be a good idea to not let the people in the city know about it. How would a normal Little Villiage have access to it?

We will need these later on when we have the equipment to fashion them into useful items. Keep them, use the gems to buy and anvil and the beginnings of a forge, if possible.

>>7832468
Ah, I say we use them to make harvesting tools. The weapons we have now should be fine, these are apparently the correct shape and would save us quite a bit of work/time setting up the required tools.

>>7832468

We can harvest a field of grain with a single stroke-we'll be just like Paul Bunyan, only blue.

>>7832500

This. They are strong and thus will keep their edge permanently, will bolster the speed at which we harvest, if only slightly. Minor improvements are the way forward.

Now, I suggest we rest for the day, read the lore and medicine books and practice magic and tomorrow we go about collecting lumber and repairing the villager's houses in order of condition.

>>7832505
Bunion had a blue ox. So naturally, we need a human-colored ox!

>>7832525
This.

Furthermore, when we have the means to shape them, we'll also have the means to produce a more conventional harvesting utensil, and can therefore reuse them at that time.

You suggest that the limb-blades be used to fashion new scythes, as the current ones are dull and chipped, obviously unsuitable for such a fantastic town. Mal says that, without proper forging equipment, they'll just be brute-forced into wooden poles, and could easily be taken out and used for something else, if necessary. They won't need to be sharpened for quite a while, either.

A halberd would be longer and thus slightly more difficult to use precisely/carry, the axe blade could interfere with impaling, and the spear point could interfere with chopping.

Frost giants are generally dicks and we won't have a large physical advantage over them. I'm somewhat opposed to seeking out others.

I'm not sure. I was thinking that we'd continue working with them for at least a few years. I suppose eventually we'll need to reveal that we've been helping them, once people start asking about all the new methods and technology that they have/will have. I feel that that's a big enough goal for now.
