Operation: Sparkly Bracelet

Ever tried climbing the Delkfut tower? The dated construct of the long defeated Zilart became the unofficial home of the Gigas who invaded Qufim island during the crystal wars. Their attempts to retreat back to the far North failed, and thus they took residance in the ancient tower.

Wandering amidst a labyrinth of twisting corridors carved into the cermet. Clusters of bats bursting out of the shadows and flapping those thin leathery wings in your face as they seek to escape to safety. The ghosts of vengeful Gigas victims haunt halls, attacking any living person with bitter resentment.

Needless to say, for the standard adventurer, this is not a playground. But then, I’m hardly the average adventurer, am I?

So I ran through the twisting corridors, into huge rooms full of gormless Gigas. Teleporters catapulted me back and forth throughout the many levels of the tower. Wave upon wave of green giants fell at my feet. Ascending staircases, descending staircases. Until at last arriving at the final teleporter console. I stepped on, the sudden lurch of energy released me as I soared swiftly upwards and my stomach lurched with the speed.

I stopped. My eyes settled upon yet another collection of polished cermet corridors. I knew the way from here. Rushing throughout the tunnels at the right-hand side of the room, I rushed through a large cermet door, and after just a short walk upstairs, I was finally there.

The Jotunn. Powerful white Gigas, the highest ranking of the Gigas led by Pallas, and Alkyoneus. These 2 Gigas are notorious for their strength, Pallas commanded mighty pets during the crystal wars, the cry of his tigers struck fear into the heart of many a fighter. And Alkyoneus was a horrific foe, mighty axe hewing many a warrior simultaniously while he roared furiously. Daunting foes, one would say.

My mission had begun. The rumours of Gigas bracelets were already well known amongst my adventuring peers. Gigas are obviously massively powerful beasts, huge bulging muscles deliver mighty blows to many a foe. However its also well known that their strength is greatly enhanced by the bracelets they wear. The bracelets of Alkyoneus are particularly potent, Pallas’ being a close second place.

So I drew my sainti, and with Tournefoux at my side, I drove down wave upon wave of Jotunn, in the hopes of forcing Pallas or Alkyoneus to arrive and attempt to drive me away. Days passed, I continued to stay at the top of the tower, munching on whatever food I had as sustenance. No luck, my vigilant camping will continue.
