[pnpgm] Game Update #49 - File #201 - Party heads east...

[J Hooten]

Raban smiles and thanks Sven himself. "Sven, I must thank you for 
loaning me a horse of such quality. I am quite used to walking and I 
have never needed to go quickly for any length of time, as my services 
are needed most everywhere I travel. But this is not a time for relaxed 
travel and I must do what I can to not slow the others down."
Turning to Ben'Dar, "Thank you, Ben'Dar, I am sure you and Sven will 
keep me from making too many mistakes."

[Days later, when news of the giants is given]
Raban dismounts the horse and says, "I can handle a forest giant without 
killing it if that is what you want. Fighting me would keep it away from 
the others, but if the second one joins in, I could have trouble 
handling both of them. Of course, softening them up a little first will 
help a lot."
[If there is time, Raban readies his bow (may need to string it?) for a 
few shots before he charges the Giant.]

<Skill use. With Bow maximum offense. With Hand to Hand 2/3rds offense, 
Raban will try to avoid their worst hits.>
<What a time to notice you forgot to get a shield to go with the skill! 
It could have stopped one hit. Oh well, it does not fit with Hand to 
Hand anyway.>
<Now the fun part, giant swinging big club likely gets to hit first in 
PnP melee. If there are rules for close fighting that will help Raban, 
please switch to them. He can potentially out wrestle a giant.>
