This is a continuation of the massively overdue summaries I need to be posting, found in There and Bah Ke'gehn.
I woke up on a hillside, in my raw walker form and scare a little girl. I go out into the woods and disguise myself using magic. Then, I save the little girl from 'ogres', who look to be children (boys) around the ages of 12-13. I found a village of small children and talked to their leader, who looked to be about eight. I found out that a giant lives on top of the mountain they lived on, and I left to go find this giant that they were afraid of.
I dealt with ogres on the way up, and experimented with some magic spells (create fire, purify water, extended pseudo-invisibility) sleeping once and going up to the giants house in demon form. I climbed a tree and jumped into the mansion through a crumbled tower, leaving the spear I stole from the Dol Nor at the bottom of the tree. I met the owner of the mansion, Gaston, who was quite hospitable and not put-off by my form. Middle-aged, seemingly cultured man, who ate children. This I discovered when he told me the children went great with a rosemary sauce. Another person showed up, a cold woman with an axe. She left, and I developed some defenses magical spells and fortified his mansion. I spent the night there and some of my sensors were tripped (see list of magic spells). I got hungry and decided to go down to the cellar, and discovered the arm of a human child on a meat hook. At this point, I decided Gaston's hospitality did not outweigh his child slaughtering. I went back up to his room, and I dragged him out of bed and hurled him into his armoire, breaking a mirror in the process. We fought around his house, and I eventually knocked him unconscious by tossing him down his stairs. Then I dragged him into his room, took his ring, threw him on his bed, and trapped him inside by activating the defenses I had set up for his room. Later, Gaston passes away.
Sometime after I atoned for his death, and went back down into the cellar. I melted the padlock on a trap door beneath some carpet, and descended down through a spiral staircase. I found two cell like rooms, then turned around and headed back up to the cellar. There I ran into Talbot, a blonde haired blued eyed young man wielding a jewel encrusted axe. He attacked me and we fought for a bit, I became wounded and tried to heal myself. Some magic spell botched, and I summoned a spirit that inhabited the arm of meat hanging on the hook. Talbot ran out of the cellar, and I ran back down to the basement like spiral staircase.
It was here in the basement that I found what we would later call the deep ones or the deep children, who were bandaged children with golden eyes. They spoke to me about the various artifacts that are in circulation amongst the giants and that they are really stolen property and should be returned. As such, I give them Gaston’s Ring.
At this point I forget the exact order of events. A few things happen, mainly, I travel to Melna’s house, have tea, threaten her, and then escape after she sicks her cadre of ogres at me. Then I think I visit Hans, an older man living in a tower, sneak in and toss him around, and take his magical belt buckle that enhances my strength. I return to Gaston’s place, find, beat up, and then team up with Talbot. We return to Melna’s place shortly thereafter, knock her out, I go upstairs to search for stuff, and then come back downstairs to find that Talbot has slaughtered most of her ogres, which I am not pleased about but kind of let happen. We remove Melna’s fake eye with my knife. I cast a healing spell to regrow her eye. I keep her jeweled fake eye.
Talbot and I go back to Hans’ place (though I forget why) and are confronted by a united front of 4 or so giants. I attempt to use the eye to get them to leave, and at least one does (whether under its influence or not I can’t tell). Then we fight with the others, I almost kill and am almost killed in return by Vlad, an older giant, who can apparently summon things. He almost kills me by tossing acid on me from a pan he summoned. Everyone scatters including Talbot and I. We regroup at Gaston’s place (or Talbot’s I can’t remember) and decide to go on the offensive and attack Vlad. We do so, but his house is booby-trapped, I fall into a pit and magic my way out, go inside only to fall down into his basement, only to be caught by Vlad in a net. I escape, but get pushed into a spiked pit and then gutted by Vlad. I die, and verse out.
