Letting the sling loose at one end the smaller stone flew towards the larger one and smashed it into the well. They heard a plop as it fell into the water.
“Thanks,” commented Mendro, “I’ve just cleared that out.”
“Can you kill a giant like that?” asked Kendra.
“Maybe, but if I don’t I can knock him out and kill him with my short sword,” Enoch drew his short sword out and made cutting motions as though he was stabbing a giant man.
“That is a good plan, unless he has a few friends,” thought Nimen.
“That is a question I would ask,” thought Disgast, “are we going to hunt single giants or attack them as they gather for war?”
“I was just going to hunt the worst ones, the ones that cause a problem for the local population,” replied Kendra.
“How many are to be in our group?” wondered Chelnuk.
“A few more, seven or nine altogether,” suggested Kendra.
“So not an army then, more like a vagabond company of bandits,” chirped Mendro as he leant on the wall of the well and eyed up the group.
Letting out a laugh Kendra said, “It is a good job you are a man of God or I might be tempted to throw you back in that well.”
The others laughed also but Mendro looked a bit pensive and edged towards the house, just in case the giant actually thought to pick him up and put him down the well.
