“You ever crossed a battlefield before, Sief?”

I shake my head. I am aware of the dangers that can arise from old sites of carnage and suffering if left to their own devices from what I have read in books, but I don't have any practical experience. If last night is any indication, it won't be pleasant.

“Daytime is okay, though we'd have been safer if it was a bright day. At the very least we won't have to worry about ghosts or ghouls... probably.”

“Probably?”

Qualaji shrugs, giving a sheepish grin, she seems to have gotten over her awkwardness from first thing this morning at least.

“It's a foolish person who believes they understand how dead things think. They don't like the daytime though, so with any luck they'll be hiding away until the sun sets.”

I climb up into Raziel, powering up the golem as Qualaji's behemoth lowers its head to allow the princess to step up and walk down to her steed's back.

“You think the basilisk will be out?”

“It could be, just keep an eye out... but not AT the basilisk, you understand.”

“I understand.”

The battlefield is eerily quiet save for a slight warm breeze rolling in from the south, skeletal remains and rusted metal crunch underfoot as Raziel picks his way between rocky outcroppings and crags. Tattered remnants of banners for dead Imperial houses flutter in the wind amidst rusted shell pieces and shattered arcane stone fragments. In places massive skeletons jut out of the landscape, behemoths picked clean by decades of scavengers. Kajilapa gives a low moan in her throat as you pass by a gigantic skull, Qualaji patting her mount on the back, making comforting noises to the great beast.

While much of the equipment here is rusted and broken, you can't help but notice that there is still a wealth of equipment which could be usable, weapons and intact components scattered amidst the wreckage.

We can't really refit things seriously right now and our pick of gear was pretty reasonable.

Though it seems he stopped for now.

>>40492002
Actually, thinking about it, you said Sief "can't help but notice that there is still a wealth of equipment which could be usable, weapons and intact components scattered amidst the wreckage" so does that mean he can already see good stuff just be going the way he's heading? Can't we just keep an eye out for things and grab it real quick if we see something? Wouldn't even have to waste time looking for things.

>>40492027
>Just a quick look. It can't hurt to take a peek.
Of course it can.
The entire point of going through here is to get there without being seen coming, but every minute we spend here we are in danger.
Staying longer in an attmept to salvage incredibly old shit is a dangerous waste of time.

>>40492060
Not really.
We can't afford to have the princess be the frontline so opportunities where we use a ranged weapon instead of standing in the front with a shield will be few and far between.
We cannot carry any more large weapons either, otherwise we wouldn't have had to choose between the secondary equipment options in the first place.
And we can't equip anything sophisticated enough to require more than picking up because we are in the field and not a mechanic, so wrist mounted cannons or other things like that are useless as well.

Writing.

>>40492201
Warlord, is >>40492099 an option?

>>40492213
Well, quickly looking is pretty much this. You can't just grab things you find off the ground without spending a few minutes checking over them though, because you do need to check it over for damage.

>>40492138
>Opening ambush from afar without being in danger.
Gigantic completely unstealthy golems aren't really going to bea ble to ambush all that often.

>Fleeing enemy.
Enemies will still be able to flee because giants are just that tanky and the princess will not be able to pursue without seperating from us, if we decide to stand still and shoot at the giants instead of following.

>Scaring the Basilisk into going into the Giants' den.
Herding with a ranged weapon is anything but easy.
It's probably a lot simpler to beat it up in melee and then drive it before us.

>An enemy with a ranged weapon.
Our enemies are giants.
Their ranged weapons will more or less amount to throwing rocks and if you're reaction to being in range of massive thrown rocks is to stand still and shoot at them, you're not going to have a happy day.

>>40492250
>Gigantic completely unstealthy golems aren't really going to bea ble to ambush all that often.
But ambushing them is exactly the plan, anon, and it's not like Giants have 360 degree vision.
>Enemies will still be able to flee because giants are just that tanky
You mean like that giant whose leg we shot and he couldn't make the distance of a couple dozen meters in several minutes?
We have no idea what ranged weapons giants have, Mama Stump was confirmed to be smarter than most giants.
And don't even act like a giant is going to be able to throw boulders at us faster than we can shoot them with a bow.

>>40492250
Keep in mind that the giants we are facing are considered cunning and have been entrenched in their lair for a long period of time. They could potentially have some decent primitive range weapons or salvaged tech.

I don't want to stray too much from our path, but it would be a shame to abandon potentially useful information, especially if it could help us against the giants.

I veer off a little to take a closer look at a few pieces of equipment that stand out, I find a pair of golem arms, ward-inscribed plates still fitted to the forearms and barely clinging on by residual magical energy. It's good stuff, powerful defensive warding, but it's not fitted right for Raziel right now, so I'd just be carrying it with me until I could get an artificer alter it.

I also spot two other things which could be of use on a more immediate basis, pushing aside a fallen rock I come across an old Hand Cannon, the mana ignition runes still intact, the firing mechanism isn't jammed either, it's even loaded. Looking around though I can only find two more shots for it unless I want to spend hours digging through wreckage.

The final thing I notice is an old Golem Skullpick, a little dented and rusty, but still looking like it could do some serious damage. The pick is still clutched in a golem's hand, torn from the body halfway down the forearm, the point buried into a rocky crag. The whole thing is surrounded by scraps of shell, crushed and scattered bones and mangled metal, in the looming shadow of a rocky overhang. Something about it makes me uneasy, but a Skullpick is an exceptional weapon for fighting giants, do I want to risk it?

To give you a better idea of what they look like, the hand cannon is basically a gigantic single-shot pistol, and a Skullpick is a golem sized military pick, popular for fighting monsters and titans with very tough hides and thick bones.

Guys holy shit this is so obviously haunted or something, please don't risk this.

>>40492451
The battlefield stretches from where you are to the fortress, so if you want to bury them outside of it you'd have to double back.

>>40492472
Can we note this place in our mind and maybe come back for some stuff later?

>>40492484
You can.

>>40492484
Well, it is supposedly the path between the giant layer and the settlement, right?

>>40492498
Okay then, changing >>40492441 to just the handcannon, we can come back for the bracers afterwards, and the pickaxe is too spoopy for me

>>40492503
Dude, we can't even use the bracers, and we can come back for them afterwards.

>>40492498
Then take the hand cannon only

Taking the hand cannon and leaving the rest wins.

The bracers will just weigh me down, and the Skullpick... I think I'm going to just go with my gut on that one, since I am in a haunted battlefield. I pick up the handcannon, peering down the length of it, clipping the weapon and spare ammo to one of the storage runes at the base of Raziel's back.

“You ready to go?” Qualaji calls, looking a little unnerved at the delay.

“Ready,” I reply, as we push on through the battlefield. The clouds grow heavier as the day goes on, the wind picking up, whipping Qualaji's hair as we traverse the gloomy battlefield. The mesa looms larger and larger on the horizon as we approach, and only the slight movements on the edge of my vision, skittering between the wreckage, keeps my eyes from being fixed on the ominous edifice.

Picking my way between two crags, I find myself at the edge of a crater scarring the earth from some ancient arcane weapon, a pool of fetid water gathered at its center. The water bubbles slightly, dyed a dusty brown mixed with sickly green. Qualaji wrinkles her nose, standing up on the saddle for a better look.

“Poisoned. We must be getting close to the basilisk.”

I frown, scanning the terrain, though given how rough it is even from my vantage point I can't see far. More pools of foul water have collected in cracks and sunken terrain, and even the shell fragments and old weapons are pitted and misshapen from the basilisk's acrid venom.

>Stick together
>Tell Qualaji to stay put, scout ahead

>>40492754
Can the Behemoth smell the Basilisk, or does it not know its smell enough to recognize it?

>>40492772
Quite possibly, yes, behemoths do have an excellent sense of smell.

>>40492783
Are Basilisks known to attack behemoths, or ambush their prey?

>>40492754
>Stick together

>>40492754
>Stick together

And here I was thinking it was Monday

>>40492797
Basilisks prefer smaller prey, but they will go for a behemoth if they feel threatened/annoyed, which is to be honest a state that basilisks spend about 95% of their lives in.

Just to remind you of course, making eye contact with a basilisk is fatal. Fortunately not through your viewing screen, but for Qualaji or Kajilapa it would be.

>>40492754
>Stick together

My worry is as follows.
If we leave Qualaji alone, then she'd have basically no way of defending herself against the basilisk(assuming the basilisk stare/curese/magic/whatever works on behemoths too).
But if we stuck together, she would have a higher chance of encountering the basilisk, but we, someone who won1t be bothered by the magic thing will be there to handle the fight itself.
>>40492842
Just to be clear, is it eye contact only? So it looking at you, or you looking at it is fine, as long as your eyes don't meet?
Do Behemoths know not to look basilisks in the eye?

>>40492754
>>Stick together

>>40492875
You have to lock eyes with the basilisk, which basilisks actively try to do, indeed their preferred hunting method is to burst out of a hiding spot and lock eyes with something.

Behemoths are trained to close their eyes when confronted with a basilisk (unless taken by surprise), but then of course they are blind and fighting something which still has very potent venom.

>>40492875
We might probably have to fight it with Qual sticking back and just taking swipes while we keep its attention

Sticking together wins.

Yes, the eyes are no longer fatal after death, but the basilisk's venom, not to mention its blood, saliva, and everything else, are still lethal on contact and remain as such for months.

>>40492952
Could we harvest any of its fluids or is it oh shit levels of poison that would destroy anything we have to contain it in?

I really doubt a basilisk's head is small enough for that strategy to be viable, and extracting an eyeball without getting yourself cursed is quite difficult, I'd imagine.
Actually...
>>40492962
Warlord, does the basilisk's stare work even through mirror reflections?

>>40492952
>you die.
Aww, noted.

>>40492969
You really don't have anything capable of storing basilisk poison for any length of time, no.

>>40492987
No, you have to look directly into its eyes, that's why you're safe from behind your viewing screen too.

>>40493070
Okay, then get QUalaji a mirror if she doesn't have one already.
And tell her this too, in case she somehow doesn't know about it.
She probably does, but let's make sure.

Kajilapa sniffs the air, ponderous footfalls picking a path between the wreckage and noxious waters. I stick close, the last thing I want is for either of them to encounter the basilisk first.

The behemoth follows whatever trail it's picked up for quite some time, drawing closer and closer to the mesa until we are practically at its base, seeing jagged paths and tunnels carved into the side, the fortifications on them long since demolished.

Kajilapa stops, eyelids drooping, and Qualaji gestures for me to stop in turn, pointing over to a cluster of rocks a short distance away. At first I don't spot it, then as I watch the rocks, I see one of them shift, sandy brown scales camouflaged against the terrain as the basilisk pushes itself lazily out from beneath its hiding spot, gulping down a dead boggart in one fluid motion. The basilisk looks half-asleep, its bright yellow eyes staring idly ahead, stunted legs lying flat against its long serpentine body.

It seems we have the drop on the basilisk, so how shall we proceed?

>Write-in

>>40493163

>>40493182
We don't want to kill it, retard.
>>40493163
Do we know where the entrance to the giants' den is?

>>40493070
If we get the poison, coat the cannon's ammo in it. Shoot the giants at least once and we have confirmed kills.

>>40493163
>>40493182
seems good, also would we know how loud a hand cannon is, like alerting the giants loud? Or would it not be much louder than a scuffle involving our huge and heavy golem in the first place?

>>40493198
>We don't want to kill it, retard.
YOU don't want to. I vote for killing it. Please fuck off and keep to yourself when you're not voting

>>40493198
>Do we know where the entrance to the giants' den is?
The fort built into the mesa, presumably any of the carved paths or tunnels would get you there.

>>40493163
How big is it? could we theoretically as a golem just stomp around behind it and drive it towards the fortress?

>>40493198
Why wouldn't we want to kill it? Trying to direct it to the giants seems unfeasible, and wasn't there a nest of something else we were gonna use for that if memory serves?

>>40493163
That's a bit meta, but are basilisk pack hunter or solitary? before attacking if they are pack hunter we should check the surounding for others lying in wait.
If they are not, arrow either through the throat/eyes/head

>>40493163
Are behemoths strong enough to Fastball special a golem?

>>40493231
It's around twenty foot long, it's a bigass snakemonster.

>>40493237
Solitary.

>>40493243
Behemoths are quadrupeds, so they can't really fastball special anything.

>>40493234
No, driving the basilisk to the giants was the plan.
>>40493163
Do we have any big ol' chains around us? If not, just maybe pick up a rock or something, and scare it in the direction of the giants' den.

>>40493198
We can weight the risks of injuring it enough to heard it towards the fort.
Or, make use of it's Highly poisonous blood, salivia, and other body fluids that are still deadly for months.
Coat our weapons in it and we're deadly as fuck.

>>40493260
How territorial are basilisks? Could we challenge it, maybe throw some rocks at it, and have it come after us, lead it to the entrance to the giants, and then get it to rampage in there with some good combat rolls?

>>40493260
twenty foot from tip to tail is vastly smaller in mass than the golem. We could easily manhandle it if it came to a wrassle. The golem would take some minor damage though.

As such, after its gaze does not work, we should be easily able to scare it towards the fortress.

>>40493271
>Do we have any big ol' chains around us?
You could probably find some if you want to spend some time salvaging the battlefield.

>>40493277
Very territorial.

You could certainly try.

>>40493260
Are basilisk fluids corrosive?
In the case that we can't herd it to the the giants, could coating our weapons in its fluids work? Would coating a handcannon ball in it make the ball deadly, or would it burn up when fired or something?
If only we had a bow...

>>40493297
Somewhat corrosive, it's not like your weapons will melt on contact, but there would certainly be some damage to the weapons from the experience.

So how bout this we send Qual back for chains while we disable the Basilisk?

>>40493295
Combine >>40493277 and >>40493281 maybe?
>>40493222
How close by are these tunnels to the basilisk itself?
>>40493306
Can Qualaji's arrows penetrate Giant skin? Does the venom work on contact, or only when it gets in the blood stream? Would it coming in contact with the skin let it work itself into the blood stream because of its corrosive quality?

>>40493306
How do basilisks move? Do they slither like snakes, or do they use their legs?

>>40493323
>How close by are these tunnels to the basilisk itself?
Fairly close.

>>40493323
>Can Qualaji's arrows penetrate Giant skin?
Highly unlikely.

>Does the venom work on contact, or only when it gets in the blood stream?
Contact, at least with people, giants have very thick skin and are highly durable though, so don't expect them to drop from a single fleck of venom on their skin.

>Would it coming in contact with the skin let it work itself into the blood stream because of its corrosive quality?
Yes, over time.

>>40493347
Slither, only some basilisks even have legs at all, and those are vestigial.

How about we shoot it instead of bothering with baiting a strong enemy that can kill a foreign princess we're travelling with VERY quickly?

>>40493389
We could send her back for some chains while we disable it

>>40493389
We are in a comparatively massive golem. Keep it in our sights and drive it towards the fortress.

The thing won't try to attack us after the gaze fails because even aggressive fuckers are not suicidal. Given the choice between flee or get killed, it will flee. The princess and behemoth do not even have to be close to us while we do this.

>>40493407
How would we disable it? Just hold it so it can't get away?

>>40493372
Okay, so here's the plan, since chains wouldn't work well to restrain a snake.
>We go there, challenge it, get it aggressive, throw some stuff at it maybe.
>We lead it to an entrance to the giants, we beat it back, throw it into the tunnel, and get it to flee into the mesa itself, maybe have Qualaji pepper it with arrows to get it angrier and more deadly(deadly blood)
>We go in afterwards, wait till the Basilisk is dead to call Qualaji in.
>>40493407
I'm not sure chains would work on a snake, anon.

Okay, since I'm seeing a few options, let's have a vote.

>Shoot it
>Send Qualaji looking for chains, subdue the basilisk
>Scare it off towards the giant lair

>>40493437

>Scare toward Giants.

>>40493437
>Scare it off towards the giant lair

we can resort to shooting it if push comes to shove.

>>40493437
I'm really quite tempted to capture a live basilisk for study and fame, plus farming its venom, but right now
>Scare it off towards the giant lair
If this doesn't work, we can always just have it follow us into the giants' layer, since we're immune, but giants aren't, and they're stupid enough to get its attention once we're inside.

>>40493437
>Scare it off towards the giant lair

>>40493437

Well, I mean, maybe.
>>40493437
Is the above viable?

>>40493545

Not really, a bad tempered monster is not going to cooperate at all.

Scaring it towards the giants wins.

>>40493955
The real question is which part would be worse.

Implying the spirits are dead.
or
Implying the gods are real and alive.

I hold out one of Raziel's arms, gesturing for Qualaji to stay back, the last thing I want is to get her killed after all.

I crouch low, eyeballing the distance between myself and the beast, the mana currents through the cockpit running hot with the tension as I take a deep breath. Leaping from cover, I charge as soon as Raziel has landed, covering the distance in a few powerful strides. The basilisk's head jerks up, pulled from its slothful state by the sudden burst of movement.

It hisses, rearing its head back, eyes bulging as its fixes its piercing serpentine gaze on me. It's a strange feeling, looking into those eyes over the viewing screen, knowing that I'm seeing a sight which can kill a man. Fortunately, from within the cockpit, the stare does nothing, and I backhand the basilisk with one metal-plated fist, sending it slithering off north.

That's no good, I need it to go east into the mesa, so I heft a chunk of rusting golem shell, slinging it over the fleeing beast, the metal crashing to the ground in front of the basilisk, which veers away from the sudden threat and to the east.

It looks ready to try and break south straight past the entrances, but I cut it off, Raziel slamming to the ground in front of it, the panicked monster swerving sharply up onto one of the paths up the mesa. I watch its panicked flight until it disappears into a carved tunnel entrance, vanishing into the giants' lair.

Qualaji joins me once the basilisk is gone, circling around the spatter of smouldering blood left from where I struck the beast.

“Nice work, Sief, those titan bastards are about to get a nasty surprise,” the princess grins, neck craning as she looks up to the top of the mesa.

>Follow the basilisk right away
>Wait here for a while then follow the basilisk
>Pick a different route from the one the Basilisk took

>>40493985
Well, the former is of course factually incorrect, since spirits are demonstrably real, and the latter is just an insult to all humanity.
I think they are roughly equal, though the latter is more offensive.

Writing.

“We'll give it some time, then follow the basilisk,” you explain.

Qualaji nods, and the two of you settle in to wait, eyes scanning the mesa. It's early afternoon now, and getting greyer by the second, you can definitely see the thicker clouds starting to roll in, and hear the rumble of thunder in the distance.

“It stinks like basilisk here, I bet you can't even smell it in there,” the princess sighs, sitting cross-legged on the saddle, chin in her palm.

Kajilapa gives a disapproving groan, exhaling heavily through her nose. One more reason to be relieved to be in here I suppose, the only smell in the cockpit is the scent of ozone and magic residue, which after the past few days I don't even notice any more.

Qualaji pulls a hooded cloak from her belongings as tiny flecks of rain start to fall from the sky, heralding the coming storm, the princess frowning as she looks off to the south, the gloom interrupted only by the occasional flashes of lightning far to the south.

(cont)

>>40494332
“Ready?” Qualaji calls a little while later. She's probably right, it's been enough time by now.

“Let's go, just stay behind me until we're sure the basilisk isn't around,” I reply, moving Raziel off towards the path up to the tunnel the Basilisk disappeared into. The path was solid once, but it feels more than a little treacherous underfoot, especially with the persistent drizzle, over the past few decades the outer side of the path has started to crumble, a long drop and one which could do a lot of damage to Raziel, and especially to Kajilapa, if they were to slip.

We take the path slow and steady, Qualaji making reassuring noises to keep her behemoth calm. Despite my concerns, we make it to the tunnel without incident, gesturing for Qualaji to wait as I peer in.

There's no sign of the basilisk, or anything else for that matter, just a long subterranean path stretching out ahead of us before turning sharply. I step into the tunnel, the walls still scored with signs of the battle that once took place here, Kajilapa reluctantly following me inside under the princess' guidance.

“Sief, you hear that?” Qualaji hisses as we turn the corner, and I can, echoing voices from further ahead, coarse and guttural, giant voices without a doubt. It's still too far away to make out what they're saying however.

As we draw closer, the tunnel splits up, a sign long since rusted beyond recognition on one wall. The voices sound like they're coming from straight ahead, so we could keep going towards them, or split away down the other passage and see where it leads.

>>40494345

>>40494450

I head towards the sounds, being as quiet as it's possible for a golem to be. Still, with the obnoxiously loud voices of the giants, it may be enough. The path winds around for quite some time before opening out into a large chamber carved out of the rock. I slip out from the tunnel behind a pillar, large enough to hide Raziel, Qualaji hanging back in the gloom of the tunnel.

Glancing out from around the pillar I spot the giants of Mama Stump's clan for the first time, one lies dead on the ground, eyes bulging, froth still clinging to his thick beard, fingers still curled into claws.

Next to him stand three other giants, one is pale and hairless, his chinless head and watery eyes giving him a miserable countenance which is only exacerbated by his current state, clutching his arm, the skin peppered with bite marks, the skin already turning black and necrotic from the basilisk venom.

Another of the giants stands next to him, a flabby and hursuit female, face pockmarked with the aftermath of boils and spots burst or scratched away, clutching a heavy club in one hand which looks to have been modified from an old Imperial mana cannon, I suppose it's a relief that figuring out the cannon was beyond the giants, though it still looks heavy enough to do some serious damage.

The female is arguing with a larger male, and it's pretty obvious from how he carries himself that he's the one calling the shots here. The left side of his face is a mess of pale burn scars, the eye a ruined mess at its center, a third, vestigial arm twitches uselessly against his potbelly, but the layers of fat do nothing to disguise the muscle beneath. He looms over the other two giants, even hunchbacked, his body covered with chunks of golem shell strung together roughly with chain to form primitive armor.

By his feet lies the remains of the basilisk, a rusted golem battleaxe buried in the beast's skull.

“H-hey Mauler, I dun feel so good,” the pale giant whines, prodding at the rancid flesh of his arm.

“Shut the fuck up Runt, one of us gotta go tell Mama that Horsebiter got his stupid ass killed, and that someone's you, Gibbet,” the larger giant rumbles.

“My arm feels real bad,” the pale giant whines again.

“Shut the fuck up Runt, don't see why I gotta go tell Mama 'bout Horsebiter, she's been real mad, don't wanna get beaten no more, you're her favorite, she won't hurt you,” the female growls.

“I'm her favorite because I'm the oldest and the strongest, that means I tell you what to do.”

“H-hey Pa, I think I'm real sick,” the whining giant continues, his good hand slapped away as he clutches at the larger giant's armor.

“Make Runt go.”

“Yeah, Runt, you go,” the big giant growls, jabbing a meaty finger into the chest of the sickly giant.

“W-why do I gotta go, I'm sick.”

“Cuz I'm yer big brother, that means I call the shots.”

“I don't wanna go, make Tooth go.”

“Tooth ain't here, stupid, you go 'fore I break yer face again,” the female snarls, Runt shrinking back from the threat, turning and limping away, clutching at his dangling arm.

“Stupid Horsebiter, getting done in by some snake, as if Ma wasn't in a bad enough mood already,” Gibbet snorts, giving the giant corpse a kick.

“This is what Mama gets for listening to some human, it's all been shit since then, ” Mauler grumbles, wrenching the axe free from the basilisk's skull, turning and heading for a tunnel on the far side of the chamber, the female lumbering along after him.

Ah well, I had been hoping for a more significant result, but that's something at least.

War Sword (with giantsbane runes), Shield, Hand Cannon with three shots.

Pulling the hand cannon out, I gesture for Qualaji to wait for my signal, swinging out from behind the pillar and aiming it at the larger giant. The hand cannon fires with a thunderous roar, a spray of blood erupting from the giant where the shot impacts.

Whether my aim was off for the gun is firing crooked I will never know, but the armored giant spins around clutching at the mangled remnants of his ear, the shot embedded in the wall of the chamber behind.

“What the fuck,” the larger giant roars, the hairy female turning as well, both of them staring straight at me.

“It's a fucking ghost, Mauler, a ghost.”

“It's not a ghost, stupid, it's some stinking imperial meat,” Mauler snarls, charging across the chamber axe raised high.

I bring my shield up to block, the force of the blow damn near driving Raziel to his knees, the joints of the arm screaming through the cockpit at the pressure being put on them.

“Gonna rip ya out of there and give ya to Mama, then she'll be happy,” the giant leers, and I just barely get my sword up in time to stop a heavy blow with the armored fist of his free hand, the metal sparking where the blade scrapes off of it.

I spy out of the corner of my eye as the female giant, Gibbet, circles round to the side clutching her club. While I know Qualaji is nearby ready to jump out in a hopefully more successful second ambush, this is still not a favorable situation.

She's reasonably close by, since she's in the tunnel entrance just far back enough to be hidden, and you fired from next to the pillar near the tunnel.

>>40495375
Try to wait for the big one to strike, then move away so that his momentum carries him into the female one.
Slash at legs or stab at abdomen/back.
If we have time, get some Basilisk fluid on the tip of our sword, and aim for an area close to the heart/brain.

>>40495375

Raziel can't match strength with this giant, not for long, and as Paxton is so fond of telling me, getting into a brawl with a giant is a fool's gambit. Once again I'm glad for Raziel's sealed cockpit as the giant breathes his rancid breath across the golem's face, grinning a rotten grin. I suppose he thinks he's overpowering me, but there's more to fighting than brute strength.

It's hardly honorable, but quite frankly who cares about treating a giant with honor, I let my arm relax just enough to make Mauler overextend, pushing forward enthusiastically, which puts him in the perfect spot for a heavy metal-plated golem knee in the groin.

Mauler's good eye goes wide, a strangled wheeze rattling up from his throat as he tiny brain registers what just happened. Taking advantage of the momentary reprive, I drive the shield up into his throat, wrinkling my nose in disgust as a gob of phlegmy saliva bursts from the shocked giant's mouth.

(cont)

>>40496152
He staggers back, and I hear a shriek from behind as Gibbet charges, brandishing her makeshift club, only to have her charge cut short as Kajilapa bursts from the tunnel mouth with a bellowing roar, head down, slamming into the giantess' side. I hear ribs cracking through the thick blubber from the impact of the behemoth's skull against Gibbet's side, the female giant howling, staggering back.

I have no time to look however, as Mauler shakes off the pain, even by giant standards, he's a tough bastard, no denying it. The hulking giant bellows, axe held high, I let him come, the axe sparking off Raziel's shield as I sweep past him. The clumsy titan loses his footing, stumbling forward, his uncontrolled charge stopped as his axe bites deep into flesh.

“What the fuck, Mauler, you prick,” Gibbet groans, coughing up a thick glob of blood, the axe lodged down to the handle in her shoulder, down through the ribs and into the lung.

“Oh shit, I didn't do it, it was their faults,” Mauler growls, ripping the axe free, leaving Gibbet to slump to the ground clutching at her ruined shoulder, breath coming in short ragged gasps from her slashed lung.

He looks from you to Qualaji and back again, breathing hard, then he throws the axe, the blade bouncing off your shield as you raise it to block the throw, the force rattling the cockpit.

As you lower it again you see him lunge for Qualaji, hand open wide.

We would have a giant lizard right behind us. one that had someone to direct it.

Qualaji's eyes go wide as the giant lunges for her. Cursing I leap across the distance, shield smashing into Mauler's jaw as I push him back away from the princess. Mauler staggers back, nose flattened and bloody, face in a rictus grimace.

I bring the sword around to strike, but his arm swings up, the blade sparking off the steel plate chained to his forearm.

Mauler swings a heavy fist at Raziel, the blow catching the golem in the shoulder, staggering him, the cockpit shaking wildly as I slam the foot down to steady myself. I see him coming in for a second strike and I hammer on the controls, feeling the currents of magic swirl and crackle around me as the golem tries to force the power to the limb in time. Then Mauler stumbles, howling in pain as Kajilapa clamps her jaws down on Mauler's other hand. I see the behemoth's head jerk in one sharp motion, two fingers tearing loose and pulling Mauler off balance.

With a roar, Mauler kicks at Kajilapa, his foot catching the behemoth hard in the shoulder, Qualaji clinging on as her steed is thrown onto her side with a pained groan, but the giant doesn't follow it up, instead he starts to back away.

It looks like Mauler has lost his taste for this battle, sweat pouring down his half-mangled face, smearing blood across his cheek as he wipes his nose with a ruined hand. I can see it in his face, he's about to run.

Crippling seems best because we want to deal lasting damage and get out of here for now.

Their internal cohesion depends a lot on the stronger ones pushing around the weaker ones so the formerly strongest being crippled could mess with that, meaning there is damage to be done even beyond just crippling this guy.

Otherwise, Kajilapa just suffered a heavy hit and Stump has probably already informed the rest of the giants of the basilisk attack, which together with the noise our cannon made should have alerted the rest.
We'll probably want to get out for now, see if we can come up with a way to catch another one or two alone and otherwise pick up Ratu after all before coming back.

Info might be good, but he doesn't seem the type to talk.

>>40497572
>Shoot him

>>40497690
Nah man, we can deal with the rest, trust me.
Take the shortsword and dip it in venom, take the axe and dip it in venom, throw them at giants, use War Sword with giantbane in melee, simple as that.

Why waste our 2nd to last shot?

>>40497672
I thought she was still alive (Gibbet to slump to the ground clutching at her ruined shoulder, breath coming in short ragged gasps from her slashed lung.), but hardly since the amount of time since the ax and this was only around a minute or two at most so i figured she might be coherent and alive.

>>40497740
She may be barely alive, but she isn't going anywhere and she's probably got a few minutes at most.

>>40497572
>Cripple him
>Pursue him
Gotta get that info and find out how many are left and who this person was.

As the hulking giant turns on his heels, I strike, closing the distance, thrusting in low with Raziel's sword, driving it into the meat of the back of Mauler's leg, tearing through fat and muscle, cracking bone. The wound burns with a blue embers as the runes on the blade taste giant blood, tearing and scalding the flesh.

Mauler crumples to the ground, bellowing, clutching as his ruined leg as I wrench the blade free.

“I'll kill you, you fuck, I'll eat you alive,” the giant barks between howls of pain, rolling on the stony ground.

Spirits, he's being so damned noisy. Every giant in the mesa's going to hear him if he keeps this up.
