As I reached the edge of the village i was able to gain a better understanding of this world made of simple stone and wood the people had built what i would call a Bronze age village built in a circular shape with the town hall in the middle i clung my freshly made cloak to my body right before i stepped into the village another message sounded out

Warning Nature Pulse is now in inactive mode

because the manna you have absorb has been used up Nature Pulse will not heal the land around you

*Well that will help me not draw more attention then i need*

As i strolled into town i thought people would look at me but to my surprise no one was in the town at all it seemed deserted.As i glanced around i saw a building a quarter of the size of the other building with a sing hanging by the door with the word INN written on both sides.

*Well might as well see if anyone is in there*

I walked across the street to the door and remembering the strength i had in the fight with the troll  I lightly pushed it open. As the door opened the sound of a bell rings and the voice of a man looking at the back of the counter rings out

“Welcome traveler”

When he turns around he looks at me and freezes,For about a minute we stare at each other till i went and shifted my weight to the back of my feet,as i began to turn around and walk out the door.

“AH, wait sir Im sorry for my actions please, stay what can i help you with?”The Inn Keeper said

as i turned around i motioned to the townin a questioning manner.The man looks at me for a moment

“Oh are you curious where everyone is?”

At my nod the man continues

“the rest of the town beside myself and a few shop owners have gone to the local feild to celebrate the marriage of the chief's son, so no one will be back in town till late this night.”He said with a grin

As i nod to say i understood he rubbed his chin.

“So you can’t be a elf to bulky no offense, perhaps a giant?

at his words i thought *well a giant is probably the closes he will get to the right answer so i might aswell say he is correct*

With another nod he grins

“Makes sense you giants aren't the most talkative of the 10 races that the kingdom acknowledges”

As he breaths out with a sigh  

“So do you need a room or are you passing through?”

*at his question i began to ponder well maybe i should stay but that only works for as long as i can keep up this act of being a Giant”

*Shit i forgot about that*

As i motioned to say i had none

“Hmmmm no money eh? well if you are willing to work i let you stay”

*Working here might be good to get some more info about this world*

With a yes the man beams with delight “good i don't have anything for you to do today so you can go to your room or wander the town”

With his opinion i headed to my room to relax and get a better understand of the situation

Innkeeper's POV.

As the party for the wedding was taking place i decide to return to the Inn,after about an hour of cleaning I heard the familiar sound of the door chime as i was putting a jar away i yelled over my shoulder.

“Welcome Traveler”

After a few seconds with no response i turn around to see something i will never forget stand in the doorway was a man that must of stood 8 feet tall and covered in a full cloak with shoes and gloves which seemed to be made of some kind of stone,the only thing i could see from his face seemed to be a light glow of green that seemed to be his eyes.

In my blunder of not making any movement after see him he began to turn around to leave I called out to him to ask if he needed anything. He motioed outside without saying a word.After a second i realize what he wanted to know and explained to him what the town was up to.He responded with a nod making me curious of what race he was after guessing a few times he nodded at Giant.Made since for his size and quietness the giants were know to be nomades and keeping to themselves only rarely entering towns for reasons only they knew.With knowing what he was i relaxed and asked if he wished to stay the night,with his motion of not having the money for it i decided to offer him a room if he would do some work,like chop some wood or run some errands for me. As he went to his room i breathed a sigh feeling the room relax as he left.After about half an hour another person came through the door yelling

“Conall we need help!” a middle age man comes running in

“What's wrong boy speak up” i yell over the counter

“Goblins have attacked the party they brought Trolls with them”

I turned pale at his words “tell me was one of the goblins wearing a Griffon skull?”

“Yeah he came along with a red goblin they seemed to be looking for someone!”

(shit it's Zioc if he is there we are in trouble)as i began to panic the boy yelled

“do you know if any adventures are in town we need as much help as we can get!”

“I got one guy who just checked in maybe he will help” I yelled

I know that giants are not aggressive but maybe he will help.the boy ran out of the inn as i started to walk to the room the giant was using
