Poljen is the last to enter the control room, dragging the head of the giant by its hair. Fortunately most of the blood has drained by now, both on the bed sheets and the floor of the hallway. He stands in front of Esclarotta. "The red ones no longer infest your castle, My Lady," he says in Giant. He then totters over to one corner of the room and begins eating some rations, obviously ready to sleep. He suddenly perks up and asks, "Does anyone wish to hear the tale of our fight right now? Or ask me anything else of importance? If not, I will get some much needed rest."
Lawrance, his immediate concern allayed, sends his Hawk high into the rafters of the hall to find the source of the yelling voice, telling to track it down and report back. "We need to move quickly. Sounds like another loose cultist on the run."
She first becomes conscious of piercing pain all through her body. Her mind is fuzzy. For some reason she can't connect any thoughts." Poljen… Cratol… Velon… a mask? "She looks blearily around and then closes her eyes. Lora drifts away into much needed sleep.
Out of Character: : Thank you Daishain for showing mercy there. With her pretty much dying I'll have her unable to interact until after getting some much needed sleep.

Once in the control room Cratol will find a out of the way place and lay Lorairies down and make sure she is comfortable. He will remove her leather armor so she can sleep better. Once she is comfortable he move a little ways off and get some rest himself. He will keep himself between Lorairies and the evil sword just in case it still has some sway on her.
As Ignazio first approaches the fallen woman, kit in hand, he pauses in the flurry of actions that proceed. He puts the unused kit away and follows the group into the control room. Ignazio raises his hat to the group and states matter of factly, "I am Ignazio, a hunter for hire. I am assisting this passionate fellow." With a smirk, he adds "The rest is his business to tell, but I wouldn't worry about him holding back."
He then makes himself comfortable, pulling out his pipe. "You were saying something about an evil cult and the end of the world?"
Ignazio hangs back and mostly listens. He thinks to himself, Cults and monsters… I wonder if it's too late to get out of this job
Zarra will speak up, saying, "This was a castle commandeered from a family of cloud giants." She will geature to the giantess, she being what was keeping the castle aloft, before continuing, "And the cultists seek to bring back Tiamat, so but the dread scaled tyrant could take over this world. We are seeking to stop them, already having the key needed to help prevent it from happening." The drow does not tell them what that key is, deciding it best not to mention the mask just yet.
Out of Character: By for now, I will try to get in another post or two before the day us done.

Lawrance helps prepare the Hut spell again, putting it in a blocking space against the door as normal. Together with Poppo, they set audible alarms as regularly done when resting.
Specific Action: Hut ritual, Alarms ritual, resting.
Out of Character: : How many party members are we, now? Charging SS ring with Absorb Elements, Magic Missile, Mage Armor, Any 1st level healing given, Keeping Sanctuary. Setting spells in mind to:
4- Fog Cloud, Feather Fall, Ice Knife, Chromatic Orb
3- Hold Person, Misty Step, Aganazzar's Scorcher
3- Protection from Elements, Lightning Bolt, Dispel Magic
1- Conjure Minor Elementals
With the kind lending of Poppo's books, I presume?
After resting, I'll ritual cast Alarm to reset the Arcane Ward back to 17 points.
Velon is relieved to see that all have survived, and they may have gained another two allies, however unlikely it is to keep finding help in a flying castle. "Thank you both. Come with us to a place of safety and we will talk."
Velon will try to move the giant's body from the hall to the bedroom, asking all for aid if possible. He sees Poljen taking a head back with them and asks Lawrance "Hey, can you use prestidigitation to clean up this blood in the hall and the trail back to the control room?" "It will lead any who stumble upon our deeds here right to us!"
After disposing of the body Velon will check the giant's bedroom and bodies for any valuable items before urging the group to return to the control room. He'll watch to make sure everyone stays together and no one wanders off.
Once there he will insist on the long rest, expecting little argument. He thanks Lawrance and any others for setting alarms and the hut, and Tazskan, Zarra, and Poppo for holding the room for them.
"Poppo how goes it with the castle piloting, eh? May I have that scroll back, too?" He gives his friend a smile.
He walks to Poljen last. "Impressive once more, mighty one. Well done indeed. I was told the stone was not very helpful against the giants - (He looks over towards where Cratol rests) - may I have it back for now then?"
Out of Character: Daishain, please just let us know if moving the giant is not possible.
