~~~~~~~ A wandering woodsmen walked into the pub earlier ranting about ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a giant he had seen high in the mountain flats. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ He claims: "this giant was a full 2 heads taller than the rest, and this ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ giant bellowed to be king among all giants." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ "The giant seemed to be asking around if anyone had seen a sling wielding ~ ~~~~ young man that had bested one of his family members. And only a fool ~~~ ~~~~ would claim to be couragous enough to confront this angry relative." ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ Funny thing is, a deep gnome walked in earlier, claiming to have seen ~~~ ~~~~~ this same giant deep within the underdark with others of his kind.. ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mission Control Mission Control
