OOC: Here's the rp of what happened on my turn.
The defacto leader of the southern slavehunter groups was furiously scribbling a message describing the encounter and town they had attacked at the southern side of the lake, putting as much detail as possible into the message. Shame they had seen only one resident, and even that one from some way away, but they had the general idea.
Atleast they knew they were flyers. He didnt know if the thing had possessed wings, but since everyone knew flyers need wings, he described them having large, leathery wings. And while he was at it, he guessed they were somekind of reptilians, due to their apparently pointy head.
They had arrived to the ruins of the vulpinan city only hours before, and were going to sleep a night here. They had also send a message via a messenger bird to the northern slavehunter team to head back to the city to secure after they left. They would be probably underway here by the evening.
They would leave in the morning, and the slaves they had gained from this city would be assembled into a train and whipped before them.

Hallr, a day or two later.
Hrafn grasped the messenger eagle from midair when it was trying to land on his shoulder and took the message attached to its legs. After a while of reading with several grunts and raisings of brows, he walked out of his makeshift throne room in Hallr and set out for the mead hall, where the elder probably was. Hjolf.
Hrafn bended his head and upper body a little when stepping through the meadhall door, and surveyed the smoky, greasy and meady interiors. And there, on a small throne at the far end of the grand table, was an elderly giant sitting, leaning on his shoulder and gazing with faraway eyes into the empty steel mug in front of him.
Hrafn brought his fist down to the table, a loud *CRACK* and *THUD* ensued.
Slowly Hjolf lifted up his head, spit dripping from his lips and alcohol in his breath.
"Wh't do ye want..."
"HJOLF! Get up from your cups old fool! I need you to gather those frail bones of yers and gather up a logging team of five! Ye are to go the western outskirts of the forest and completely deforest the area and bring back all the wood! And order carpentry areas set up, You're gonna need 'em"
Hjolf gave a nasty look at Hrafn and swung his hand in Hrafns direction, as if he could go away and Hjolf would care about it less than a halfrotten mountain goat.
Hrafn let a paper drop from his hand, from where it floated on the face of the other giant.
"Your work orders" Hrafn grunted, and walked out into the daylight.
After Hrafn had left, Hjolf snatched the paper and read it. there was one big word. "JAVELINS!" There was also a smaller writing under it, stating that all kinds of other useful stuff too, mainly some new round shields, some pikes or spears and ballista bolts too. Hjolf wondered where they needed all this stuff.

Hallr was bustling with giants, what with attack force of 30 giants settled in a town of little more than 20. Atleast they had this "Everburner" installed in the town square with some benches around it to make cooking easier.
Hrafn walked up to the town square, next to the meadhall, and waved around for the giants to gather around him.
"Com' 'ere, Com' 'ere!" He took a breath between the sentences "My Faithful Men! I have received some alarming information about potential hostiles to the east of here, not the vulpinans, but something else! It is that i now ask for 40 brave men to split in two groups, to rid our immediate surroundings from any possible threat to my great kingdom! Shall you take up the task?!"
This was met some cheers and grim expressions of duty, since speeches like these were only formality as they knew. They were ordered, not that it was unpleasant order. The now straightened up giants wandered off to their homes and tents to pick up their gear, ready to storm down into the plains.
The tactical decisions he needed to make had tired Hrafn, forcing him to sleep and hope that morning brings answers with it. It certainly did.
Hrafn woke up sweating from his bed, the dreams fleeting away from his mind as he tried to grasp them again. One thing homever was certain, His god wanted to see him again, and this time it was something important.
He set out at the morning.
