Oragatt is flexible in her combat but the giant is not. "We will ambush, what terrain suits you."
Herocea thinks. "High ground bad, low has reach. Shallow water is good. Small ones struggle."
Oragatt nods "Night battles?"
Herocea shakes her head "Can't hide at night, too big."
The weapons and armor are well received. After finishing her examination, the giant nods "Herocea can use." Of course the giant can't truly appreciate the craftsmanship.
"Herocea is ready to fight, give orders and will follow." her voice bellows.
Oragatt plans her next move.
Oragat makes javelins. Herocea's size is her best weapon and the javelin plays to that versatility.
Most importantly they can be used to pin instead of kill. The Armorer means to impress The Duchess but that can't be done with more corpses adding to the armies of her enemies.
Oragatt sneers at Herocea 'Your dress is unacceptable, I will fashion you something fitting for service!' she then grips the denmother 'This pile of rags with suffice as raw materials.
Foreman Baphora says something about having material stores, Oragatt ignores this statement.
The Armorer glares at Baphora 'How fares the giant?'
The foreman motions 'Come and see.'
Herocea is here. A goblin addresses the armorer. "We've been taking good care of her and she's been helping us too."
Herocea eyes the armorer cautiously 'What more is asked of me?'
A portly rachnid appears "I'm foreman Baphora, I speak for K'lov."
Oragatt states 'The King of Pentacles looks to your village.'
Baphora frowns 'So you're here for the giant?'
Oragatt nods.
The foreman sighs 'We'll be happy to lose the heat.'
Oragatt doesn't like her causal ways.
'Cower servants, I am armorer to the golden lord!' Oragatt bellows.
The congregation kneels before the third acolyte, she is delighted, she almost never gets to do this.
'Who speaks for this village? she adds.
Oragatt strides into the mining village of K'lov with authority.
The mining folk gather and look up at the rare outsider.
One of the miners ventures a question 'What brings a warrior to our doorstep?'
Oragatt has no time for detours, she's taking enough time by walking.
The village of K'lov is a small settlement of Rachnids that Kalez placed as a reserve. They should believe in the cause but that was fifty years ago. They seem willing to hide the giant. A peasant is outside.
Oragatt knows her red wings would fly like a flag, she'll travel by foot, stealth and secrecy have always served the pentacled cult well.
It won't be as quick on foot but Oragatt could scout out possible ambush locations before meeting up with Herocea.
An ambush Oragatt decides, it's only a matter of time until something as large as a giant is found.
The third acolyte leaves her hiding place and heads back to Herocea, she could fly there and maybe be spotted or she could walk it which would take more time.
