Now now the giant killed more than 2 with that swing.  Clearly that was more than a simple cleave.  It was a great cleave..... if you will.....
Yeah, missed opportunity on it being the male giant instead of the female.  That'd set up a hell of a callback.
It was the male giant, though? Unless I'm misunderstanding your intention

"Great cleavage!"

If it was the female giant, she would *literally* have huge cleavage - in both senses - which would payoff the early Roy strip by having it happen but more literally.  Building on the previous situation.
The male giant having "huge cleavage" would just be repetition of that earlier joke.  Callbacks are certainly fun, but they're a *lot* better with a twist.

Anybody know what Roy means by 'travel-sized corpse'? I suppose it's some kind of DnD joke, but I don't get it.

I think he just means it as a silly word for "small", like a travel-sized toothbrush.  Though our party often did stick small creatures (even PCs) into bags of holding for particularly dangerous hijinks.  Like when we orbital-dropped into a teleport-warded area, heheh.

Sounds fun, lol. The orbital dropping into a teleport warded area, not so much the sticking small creatures into a bag of holding, which is effectively a pocket universe, and may or may not involve in the objects being in stasis.

Okay, credit where it's due, some of these giants are being pretty badass for their cause.

Um. I hope she's not dead/severely injured. Also, if they have giants everywhere, what use is a scenic detour? You'll just find more giants.

I think the point is that the giants are waiting along the well-used path?

Ah. But if they planned on them derailing...

No, they'd still have more giants on the path. If they're on the path you know where they'll be; otherwise they have many paths. If they have even the slightest chance of staying on the path, it would be optimal to place more giants there than usual.

Although who even knows, they're giants, they might not be that smart.

Is it a stretch to assume that Andi has Rogue levels, and/or the wrench counts as an improvised sap?
