Better Than A Frosty Lager
Brogg, 'attacks of opportunity' are 3E. You want weapon spec, you play 1E. You want cheesy feats and sophisticated tactics blah blah, not here.
Anyway, you too chase after the giant, and when you get there, hit him pretty hard. Marivhon too. The giant, now in his dark lair, drinks a giant potion! "
Ho ho," he bellows, "
that's better than a frosty lager after a long day of squishing hobbits!" Giants live the cliche.
And... the giant misses Marivhon.
Schmektor, you and the other humans stumble around in the dark. Make a WI check (roll a d20, you want <= to your WI), and roll a d6, lookin' for a 1. Failing that, you begin the LONG DARK of the giant's cave. Yes, it sucks, but it is certainly better than being the giant's smack-tard. You hear the sounds of combat faintly up ahead in any case, so they ain't too far away.
