Chapter 21: Jokes and Giants

Hey guys, sorry about the long wait. Had stuff to do, but don't worry I'm back in full swing from now on. Another short one this time I'm afraid, mainly just a filler before I start work on a new story arc.

Country of Dakar, Versailles Continent

Arthe and co had been traveling together for roughly a month now (in game time) and during that time they had been on many small adventures, usually quests involving the death of certain types of monster. Frith and Talis had eventually become friends after Frith had discovered that Talis was actually Merrak's girlfriend, for some reason unknown to Arthe this fact made Frith happy. (yes he's thick)

At this exact moment in time Arthe was running away from a particularly large and angry rock giant, whose sleep had been disturbed when Frith 'accidentally' stabbed it in the eye just before Arthe was going to steal the large sapphire hanging from around its neck. Needless to say when it woke up and noticed the group of would be thieves crawling around its home the giant got a little upset and attempted to squish them into paste. Currently it was trying to crush Arthe with a large stone club, at the same time Frith was laughing at the sight and the other two were attempting to strip the cave of loot whilst the giant was distracted.

"Hey Frith, stop laughing at Arthe's 'unique' running style and come help us carry this stuff out of here", Talis called as she grabbed a large engraved warhammer hanging from the wall of the cave.

Arthe was getting pretty irritated at this point because it wasn't the first time something like this had happened, a week ago the party was in a dungeon full of thieves and he was attacking the final boss when Frith and Talis persuaded Merrak to use a slow spell on both Arthe and the boss. It took Arthe 2 hours to kill the boss in slow motion whilst putting up with the laughter and the jokes, and this incident wasn't even the worst one.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

2 days earlier Arthe and Merrak had been bathing in a stream and the girls decided to take all their clothes and replace them with a couple of leather dresses and a couple of bras, then they proceeded to attract the attention of a nearby group of goblins. They pulled the goblins to the stream where the lads were bathing and then watched as Arthe and Merrak were forced to put on the only clothes they had available and fight the monsters. The worst thing was that Talis took screenshots and when Arthe logged off that day feeling pretty angry he discovered that she had posted a video of the entire escapade online. Thankfully she had covered their faces but 28 thousand people still saw two men wearing girls clothes attacking a group of goblins.

Arthe ground his teeth as he recalled these incidents and others like them, he then decided that enough was enough so he turned and threw himself bodily at the rock giant. With a shout of fury Arthe proceeded to attack one of the monsters legs, slashing the back of its knees and stabbing deeply into the muscle of the giant's thigh. The monster crashed to the floor as its leg gave way, Arthe then cast numerous Holy Bolts at the creatures remaining eye blinding it it permanently. He then casually walked over to Frith and picked her up, carrying her back over to the thrashing giant he dropped her next to its useless leg and then attracted the attention of the beast by stabbing it in the leg again. After that he walked off and left Frith to finish off the giant alone.
