Feasting with the giants proves an interesting affair, if one not without some awkwardness.
Not having enough chairs your size, someone brings in a tree trunk to serve as a bench, setting it on the small side table with your sized stairs leading up to it.
You don't recognize the meat, it tastes a bit like venison, but no deer you know has haunches larger than a man. There are buttered bread loaves that are pretty good if again monstrous in size, but the vegetables served prove nearly inedible, some kind of root that proves nearly impossible to chew. The mead however tastes like ambrosia.
The skalds take turns cornering party members and asking for their perspective on the raid.
Out of Character: . Daishain what language are the giants speaking to us? Common?
"That is very wise, Zarra. You are quite right. I shall commune with Bahamut to always find my courage, not be fearless. A little fear does keep us alive, hopefully a lot longer, doesn't it? Some day we may even rely on our fear to tell us when to run and live to fight another day. Hard to imagine with this lot, though, eh?!" He smiles at her and gives her a light pat on the shoulder, unsure as to how she will take it, but that is how he treats most of his friends so he'd hate to treat her differently.
Velon will do all he can to be polite to the giants, although he is wary of their unfamiliar customs and their size. He tries to block out his paranoia over losing the castle or any poor judgement with regard to the party being completely at the mercy of these mighty new… friends?
Lawrance enjoys the meal absently, eagerly observing the interaction of the hosts, while his spell lasts. When asked about the raid, he will happily relate every single detail, with accuracy of memory and as unbiased as possible, including details of the foes that probably are unnecessary but vivid in his own recall.
"... And the way the blood cascaded off the follicles of hair on the she-wolf! They were like little rubies born at the base of her hairs and dying on the ground as she danced and dodged the blows from our fighters!... " Edited: Gknightbc on 25th Jan, 2018 - 4:01pm
Lia has an uneasy feeling about the giants and the invitation. She says to the others, "Have fun. You have earned it. I contributed nothing in seizing the castle and so have no tales to spin. I will stay here."
Mari hears this. She looks at Velon and shakes her head." I'll stay as well." She goes to the control room and begins trying to learn how to pilot the sky castle.
Lia can't shake her feelings of apprehension. After what she learned from Mari she isn't in a trusting mood. She goes to her chamber and draws water. Lia cleans herself until she is satisfied by her appearance in the mirror. She puts on a little perfume as well. The cleric then calls upon Sune to protect them and their sky castle. Feeling a little better now she jumps astride her broom of flying and soars up to the highest point of the castle that she can land on. She has her bow and staff strapped to her back. Lia peers around intently to see if there is anything troubling to be noted. Her face keeps falling on the giant settlement. Each time it does a frown creases her visage.

Tazskan, enjoys eating the meat, and drink. Having a real good time with the others.
When asked how he came to be involved. He, speaks about him being stripped naked, blindfolded. Adding the fact that Velon, had to rely on hot and cold, to locate him. With the aid of a familiar, to guide him.
He recalls, the fight from his perspective with a white dragon. The fact that it tried to imprison him, and another companion in an ice prison.
Adding, the fact that he got some good blows, that angered the beast.
Tazskan, continues slurping more of the ale.
The evening passes fairly quickly, and your deeds are toasted several times. Eventually, giants start retiring for the night.
When you're ready, the group is escorted back to the castle, several of you filled with food and drink. Soon enough, the castle lifts off, and begins making its way back towards Citadel Adbar.
