So after we leave the Inn we meet some Zentharim members that have some secrets to share only with the members of the guild. So Selene goes with the 3 men to the bathroom to find those secrets, hence the name of this session. What happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom so may we all never find out the truth. AMEN!!![1]
From the representative of the mages from Waterdeep we find out nothing useful and also she has nothing to help us with.
From the streets we hear some noises and yelling[2] but it turns out there are some kids playing with a walking tree. The tree's name is Leaf[3] and he loves this place and the kids in it.
We wait in this beautiful town a little more and we are not disappointed, battle starts soon while yelling: WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!!
Orcs and giants invade the city, but with the help of the guards, the trees and of course our mighty strength[4] we manage to kill most of the attacking forces and put them on the run. We also get one prisoner, a "smart" giant who forgets everything the next day.
We feed the giant so we become friends at least for a day, and we convince him to take us to his leader. The giant remembers exactly the way he came into town so he leads us into… a wall. This was the first clue about how smart Ogh is, because it seems this is his name.[5]
We manage to get out of the town on our own and follow the fresh trail the orcs and giants left.
The next day we convince Ogh that we are not enemies by giving him food, he tries to lead us again to his leader, but as Ireth and Tari soon find out the trails go in another direction. So we follow our elves' instinct and knowledge.
The scenario repeats again the next morning, this time only Ireth sees the trails that are not in the direction our “smart” giants points us.
I think the third critical hit on perception was also the last one for the night so Ireth finds the way another day :)
After no more magical perception on the fourth day we are kind of lost in finding the giants.[6] We wander around for a few days until we hear something that almost resembles a song. It seems a giant female was crying her heart out because she was left alone by her husband. First we mistake her for the leader of the hill giants but it seems she is not the biggest fish in the pond.[7]
By promising her that we will do our best to return the husband to her, she guides us to the hill giant's nest.
Tactics is our strong point this time, so we approach the giants' habitat by "binging binging" with the pigs. All smelly we convince the orc guards to take us to the leader in the person of GHHHH[8], this time the true leader of the Hill Giants.
[1] This is funny due to the following real life conversation:
DM: Alright Zhentarim members, come with me to the bathroom so I can talk to you in private.
[Sammael's and Solid's player]: OK.
[Selene's player]: Whaaat? I can't just go with 3 guys to the bathroom!
[2] Draw weapons!
[3] Lifferlas
[4] Each PC also got an NPC to control, as before. Some died, as before. Lifferlas did a great job fighting some trolls, though.
[5] I had some fun roleplaying Og.
[6] And so they killed Og, just like that.
[7] Also literally, as they later find out.
[8] Guh
