| Mountain Symbol |
Kimit stared at the symbol carved into the mountain
wall. He understood what it was supposed
to mean but didn’t understand how it could be true. Macron was centuries gone, his magical Maul
being the only evidence left of the great giant’s existence. The Ash Giant then remembered the stories the
Spriggans had told him about the Fire Giant who was challenging the Elves Great
Keep.

For the few moments Kimit stared at the symbol he listened
carefully; earlier he had suspected something was following him. As he stood in the mountain pass listening the
Ash Giant grew certain of it. A scraping
noise of stone against stone some distance ahead of him and footsteps, small
footsteps, behind. Kimit knew the stone scraping sound he heard was the
ratfolks emerging from their stone lair but the movement behind him didn’t
sound like ratfolk, it sounded humanoid.
The Ash Giant moved much quicker than his size made him look
capable of moving. Leaping backwards and
up some 10 feet, the giant grasped the side of the mountain wall and pulled
himself up to a ledge. From his sudden
movement and new perspective Kimit could easily make out a small cloaked
humanoid with oversized boots staring up at him from the rock he was hiding
behind. Kimit mentally cursed as he
realized he was being trailed by a halfling but hefted a large stone in his
left hand threateningly, “Speak little one before I bury you in stone.”
“Forgive me tall one, I was only waiting for the arrival of
the ratman wizard so he could introduce me, I’m the druid Amory, and I’m here
to help you.”
