Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
This inquiry being quickly conveyed to the stone previously addressed -- it appears, by the by, that Eliza is best able to communicate in this fashion -- answer is forthcoming.
defeat the guardian and enter
Meanwhile, one of the prodigiously sized fists of the gigantic being emerges from the ground, said appendage bearing a mere three stubby fingers, if one spare a moment to examine its curious anatomy.

"You were correct, Lepus," says Henry, taking out his Force Projector. "Then let us commence battle!" He fires at the giant, hoping to weaken it.

Lepus attempts to hurl a stone into the giant’s eye.

Mindful of her father's force projector, Eliza does as Lepus does, and hefts a large rock to throw into the eye.

Cursing his poor aim, Lepus fishes around for a suitable scrap of cloth among his tattered clothing.
Fashioning this into an improvised sling, he fits in a rock, whirls it around his head and lets fly!
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
Henry activates the Force Projector again, targeting the giant's brain.

Cackling, Lepus selects another rock and lets fly once again.
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
Henry fires the Force Projector at the giant a third time, hoping they can finish it off with the next volley of attacks.

Lepus inspects the fallen giant, poking it with his toe.
“‘Defeat the guardian and enter’ they said. We’ll, thou art defeated, so now we must find yon entrance, yesno?”

Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
As she looks at the fallen giant, Eliza puts a hand up to her own inhuman face. "Will he live?" she asks. "We were called upon to fight him and we have, but must he perish from it?"
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
"He yet lives," says Henry, "though only just. I see no need to kill him. He is no longer a threat. We needed to defeat him, and defeat him we did. I could perhaps heal him, if you think it wise. As for the entrance, could it be the hole in the ground from which he emerged?"

Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
Upon examination, the hole in the ground appears to be extraordinarily deep, its interior revealed only the feeble glow of multiple pale green lights far below. They move slowly about, much like fireflies on a summer's night. From what can be seen of the opening into the depths of the Earth, the interior surface is very smooth, with no apparent irregularities.

"I have my Illuminator to provide light when we descend," says Henry. "We'll need a way to climb down there. We can secure some rope to one of the stones and let it down, but we may need a lot of it." He tries dropping a pebble down the shaft, listening to gauge how long it takes to hit bottom and using physics to calculate the depth of the pit.

“Mayhap yon giant can provide for our needs, yesno?”
Perhaps Lepus can fashion a rope from the creature’s hair or clothing?

Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
Eliza tries to address herself to the fallen giant. "Can you understand my speech? The voice demanded that we fight you. I presume it made a similar demand of you. But we bear you no further malice, if you are willing to agree the same. Is there anything you can tell us of what lies below?"

Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eleventh: A Lengthy Trek
This experimental technique yields the information that the pit is approximately two rods deep; a considerable distance to fall.Mr. Handy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 1:54 am
