Those who stay behind quickly barricade themselves in the Pilot room. A large stepstool in front of the control panel can be used to secure the doors, though they do look sturdy enough in their own right.
Those who go make their way up the stairs. Soon enough, they end up on the second floor, outside of the room with the Fire Giants, who are still asleep.
Rather than stopping on the second floor, the group heads back up to the study on the third.
The gryphon is a little difficult to spot, hidden among nearly a hundred similar carvings. But once found, it turns easily. With a faint grinding noise, one of the massive bookshelves slides in front of the fireplace, revealing a large space behind its original position.
This space appears to have been used as a personal armory. The centerpiece is a massive two handed maul, with a head larger than most members of the party. There are also a pair of bows, which would be more akin to ballistae arms on your scale.
Some smaller trinkets are about as well, including a bracelet chain that could be worn as a necklace, and a Javelin that might be usable as a lance.
Cratol will take pieces so that we can take them down to the lady so she can tell us what they are. He will let Poljen take the javelin as he could probably use it. Once we get the stuff we can carry we will shut the hidden room. Cratol looks at the other two. "Back down to the giantess or go kill the fire giants?"
Poljen frowns and shrugs. "A lance is best used ahorse. Leave it for now. We must not delay any further. Come! The sleeping giants await… and no doubt waking them will raise quite a ruckus. So we must do our absolute worst when we start."
I gape at the huge items. Looking at the bracelet chain I shrug and put it around my neck." I'll take this. Maybe it has magical properties to help us. Muscles, how about that maul? I bet that you can carry that." As we ready to leave I hear Cratol's comment." The first time was a simple mistake Monk. You ruined my dress. Do that again and you won't like the result." She grins at him.
