While the others tried to talk sense into the trolls, Gul remembered hearing another noise from the north and stained his ears to see if he could hear it still.

OOC: [roll0] Hey, if you guys do well with the trolls, we could do with hiring a local guide to the moors! Help stop us getting lost after we follow the staff? I don't know that I'd trust them enough to offer an advance on their wages though

OOC: Davaros heard that noise, and has a strong suspicion it's the giants that are casing the trolls. The bargain he wants to strike is to have the trolls fight the giants, if this is what is hppening ;-)

The trolls look at each other and then back at the little armored man. "A big ol' girl with one of these things." he scratches his chin, "And one of those things" gesturing towards the sword on Davaros back.

The other gestures towards burned tissue on the top of his right arm, "Cept hers was a burnin. Not heal so good. Had to run. Can't kill her, too big. She's taking us. Big dark metal chains. 'Yoke' she says."

"Yoke."

Gul peering to the north you see a strange cloud floating just over the inn. As you peer you see strings glimmering in the moonlight hanging down from it, descending towards the ground.

Davaros is not sure what the brutes mean by yoke, but continues to try to persuade them to act with some civility. "Giants. What they did to you is not acceptable. Join us to fight them, and I will buy you all the meat you'll want to fill your bellies. I imagine they are not too far behind you, right?"

They once again look towards each other for some kind of confirmation. "Not sure. Hungry now. They slow down when they chain more of us. Yoke."

"Yoke."

"Hey, look! Something else is going on, apart from giants enslaving trolls.."

Gul moved away from the group, retrieving the Staff of the Vonindod from where he had dropped it, and then kept moving back towards the inn, trying to make sense of what was happening.

OOC: If necessary, [roll0], please bear in mind Gul has Devils Sight up to 120 feet away.

You hear more rattling as whatever is dangling down from the clouds climbs up the walls of the inn to the roof.

"Oy, what's that Hanz?"

"I dunno Franz."

Each of these creatures looks quite a bit like a wooden puppet armed with crude slashing instruments or hand crossbows.

OOC: It has been raining, but I sure wouldn't want that roof to catch fire.

OOC: Creepy af. Disagree RE: fire. Nuking the site from orbit would not be an overreaction.

Willow looks back at Gul, and then squints into the darkness behind him, trying to see what he was talking about. She can't see anything, but she backs up toward the inn a bit, staying between the mage and the dark-haired stranger. She still hopes the dark-haired one can persuade the trolls, but makes it a point to be within reach of whoever might need aid.

"What?" thinks Bellalalalalalinda to herself, but aloud. "So we're not killing the trolls anymore?" She is confused. All the talk about giant trouble, and here are some giants. "But they're not trouble, even if they want to eat the horses? I don't get it." She doesn't fire at the trolls, but makes a Dash by them (to AN 20?), saying "sorry for the confusion" as she does so. Whistler is following her, picking up rocks as he goes.

Next turn, she'll be within range of the marionettes. She is wondering if she should be on the roof of the stable herself, to give her a clear shot (she has a climb speed), but she'll decide that when she sees what the things on the roof do.
