Ragna had slept on the tavern floor but even her alcohol fuelled slumber wasn't enough to ignore the chaos that Bhathairk had turned into. Twisting and turning in her sleep, she finally awoke when a lump of timber landed atop her. The giant rose with a growl of anger, tossing aside the beam and...

Ragna grunted. The mage's smooth apology quickly soothed any ruffled feathers. She turned from him and stomped out of the water. Her nose had caught a fresh scent. Another human was talking to Weylin and Rainie. Her eyes narrowed with suspicion but the moment passed. She didn't appear to be any...

Ragna squinted at the surrounding peaks. Some were so high that they were lost in the cloud. Looming cliffs were mixed in with gentler slopes. The forest faded gradually into scrub and then into bare rock. Only moss and lichen survived on the higher ones. She missed the slopes. There was a...

A braying laugh came from Ragna. "They are good sport. Madadh Skullcrusher took one last spring, he used the gryphon's feathers for a cloak. Always something of a showoff, he wore it as a symbol of his status and achievement. Ragna was just disgruntled that all she'd had to show was the hide of...

The journey to Lake Crobhear showed how sparsely populated the Spine could be. Civilisation seemed to disappear, settlements growing smaller, and traffic less and less on roads that grew gradually worse in condition. For Ragna it was a return to comfort. The smells and sounds from near even a...

Ragna tried not to laugh as the human girl ventured it might have been hunters of her own kind. She couldn't help it. Mammoths were tough prey on their own and they'd injured or killed herdsmen before. The thought of mere humans hunting them was comical. Bergelmir was a bit more diplomatic...

Ragna grunted in response. She'd happily eat her prey raw if she had to but the small ones seemed to prefer half burning it over flames. She couldn't fathom why the humans ruined the meat. They might as well be eating leather. She focused on whittling a branch, using a sharp stone to put a point...

Bergelmir noticed the figures returning to camp first. Ragna rose with him, grumbling a little at the wait. They had a fine fire going by now with a pile of branches and deadwood stacked nearby to toss on. There were some bloodied carcasses near by from their own kills as well as some other...

One human was tolerable. Several were far too loud. She was a little lost for words and struggling to keep up with them. Ragna found herself ignoring the babble of questions and speech, stepping back a few paces from both them and Bergelmir. She placed her maul down, leaning it against a tree...

The humans seemed stunned at the appearance of the two giants. It was an understandable reaction but both managed to control their fear. They weren't gibbering messes or bolting back the way they'd came. She frowned at the man's question, his dog yipping at the sight of them. She gave a grunt...

"Hark" Ragna frowned as her ears caught movement coming through the trees. The hill giant stooped to pick up her maul, hefting its reassuring weight. Her hand patted its head, getting ready for what was coming. The sounds and speech sounded human, was Weylin talking to himself? No, she could...

Ragna at least had journeyed somewhat in the lowlands. To Bergelmir even the Spine's lower slopes were a mystery and he was enjoying his new surroundings and environment. The plant life in particular seemed to interest him, discerning which ones were almost palatable. She grunted in answer...

Both giants had been eager to enter the fray once a name could be put to their foe. Their zealousness had been tempered by their human companion pleading for more time. He'd wanted supplies and they'd reluctantly delayed their quest on that account. Humans were fragile creatures and it was...

Ragna tore into the meat without much ceremony. Some of the pieces she left too long in the flames and they got charred. Others she barely let at it for a few seconds, the blood still dripping off it. She ate it all, not caring much beyond it was hot. Venison was one of her favourites. She...

The hill giant studied the rough sketch map in the dirt with a frown. The mention of the lake made her smile though and she gave the human a pat on the back in delight, the impact nearly enough to send him sprawling. "Good" she boomed. It had narrowed it down somewhat. "Crobhear is further...
