Torel needed a break from the city. While the Yuriwood was all nice and well, he missed the absolute wilderness, the area where you can walk for days without meeting a single person.
Without really planning to do so, he started walking north and didnt stop until 2 days later he felt the undisturbed nature around him and was at peace again.

But that peace was disturbed as he heard a whipping noise followed by a yelping sound of an animal. Quickly on his feet, Torel checked what was going on and found a large frost giant who used an even larger whip on a dire wolf which was chained in front of a wagon that was stuck in the mud. Shouting loudly at the exhausted wolf, the giant doesnt seem to care or notice that there was no chance that the wolf could get the wagon out of there on his own.


I didnt feel very creative today, so I used the classical "Free the animal to win its friendship" plot. I hope thats ok. :rolleyes:

As long as you don't mind if I use the traditional Wizard tactic of Fireball ...

Torel Whistled for Sinwa and got airborne augmenting his defenses. Hey ugly ... up here.

BOOM!

Elevate out of reach + whip range Barkskin (shared) + Flamestrike

While Torel flies into the air and improves his natural armor, the giant notices the human smells danger and throws a rock at the druid, but misses.

Torel answers with a fiery evocation at the giant and burns deep into the giants flesh. He growls in pain, curses in giant and throws another rock, which misses far.

Flamestrike deals only half fire damage, so only that half is increased due to his fire vulnerability.

That was a very unspectacular flame strike ...

Cast Produce flame and begin attacking. I mostly have to just whittle his hp down ... I'm worried about the rocks, but I don't think they should be a huge problem. Feel free to recall PF w/ a pearl and recast.

Torel flies higher into the air to have a better position for the long firefight that goes on for quite a long time.
Torel proved to be highly superior, never missing a single shot and never beeing hit even once. A devastating critical into the giants throat ends the one sided fight.


This was easier much faster to run for me than expected. Congratulations! ;)
