After his attempt to alter his for to ice, Ethelrednlats down and stairs into the middle distance. Deep in thought he stays for a good while.

Then he stirs and addresses Alexis

“We have a difficult task ahead. Then plan to deal with the bats first seems smart. Hopefully there are not too many of them.

When it comes time for the giant I think we have some options to buy us some time.

Smoke could help create some cover for sure. make it at least at a bit harder for the giant to see us.

A wall of ice in front, or around. him could buy us even a bit more time.

If we can get enough vegetation we might be able to build some crude decoys. In addition if we disguised ourself in vegetation we might create even more confusion.

This is in a hope that we can get either past the giant, or close enough to disable him somehow.

If we had a way to get his sword away from him I would feel better about our chances of attacking him. With the sword I do not want to get close enough to get hit. One swipe from that weapon and even my armor would be of little help.

We have a few tools we can leverage, we just have to be wise about how we deploy them.”
