Scene VII: Danger!
Blade squints through the darkness at the giants 10' long sword and then at the giants
nearly human sized penis and begins laughing hysterically. The
old adage of the bigger the sword, the smaller the johnson
apparently held true even in the giant world. Still, Blade had to admit the guy was apparently getting laid. Seven naked giantesses testified to that.
"I've an idea, mates," he says to the others. "I'll provide an opening in the giant's defenses. When that happens, make your move against him." Blade knew from experience that no matter what, if an attack was aimed at a person's groin, especially while naked, then the flinching response could not be overcome. In an attempt to elicit such a response from the naked giant, Blade whips a knife from his bandoleer and flings it at the giants exposed penis. The darkness obscures his target, but he hears it hit home as the giant grunts slightly. Bruce, crossbow out and loaded, lets fly a crossbow bolt at the giant. Through the darkness he can hear the bolt strike flesh. Ghotu enters melee with the giant. He rushes up and swings at the giants leg, but only grazes it as the giant sidesteps and launches his own counterattack. The giant brings the giant-sized two-handed blade down on Ghotu's shield, denting it and driving Ghotu to one knee. Ghotu stands again, undaunted, and circles the giant. Near the ogre, one of the dogs is heard to yelp out, despite its ability to speak the common tongue. A second later, much growling is heard and cursing from the ogre, and a second yelp, a death cry, is heard. Bruce and Blade both ready more missile weapons and wait for an opportunity to fire without endangering Ghotu. They let fly at different times, each one striking home they think. Despite the missile fire and Ghotu's tenacious advances, Pryapus the hill giant lives, though he is wounded. He advances on Ghotu and sweeps a wide arc which the warrior cannot evade. The giant's sword strikes Ghotu's curiass, knocking him to the side. He maintains his feet and tries to get inside the giant's reach, finally striking two blows, the second of which gashes the giant's belly mortally. But still Pryapus swings his sword with deadly accuracy again, this time knocking Ghotu several feet back and to the ground, badly wounded himself. Ghotu tastes much blood in his mouth, and his vision swims with stars. Stunned, he struggles to rise to his feet and retreat. His left arm, hs shield arm, is numb, and his shield is badly misshapen. Blade whips his swords out, rushing to position himself between Ghotu and the giant, to give Ghotu time to retreat. His eyes are getting used to the darkness, the only light coming from the half-open door. Bruce readies another bolt and steps closer to the giant, intending to end the combat. He mutters a brief curse to his god for accuracy.
