Giant Blog Entry

"Family Arriving At Circus Tryouts" Herr D on heromachine. Herr D doesn't do giants?.-Shelob

[chatbox opens] It has been two weeks.

[laptop agitation, probable startle reaction] Oh! Uh, sorry, Shelob. 

You asked for a longer wait before guest blogging.

[laptop agitation, probable startle reaction] Yeah, I'm sorry. It's been a week of higgledy-piggledy.
I COULD do something now . . . 

Please.

[laptop agitation, probable startle reaction] Okay! Shad of Shadiversity proclaimed a few things about giants, should they exist, and their probable weapons of choice.

Another mythical creature. Please continue. [edit] SPOILER ALERT TILL CAPS RECURRENCE.

Thank you.
Shad skipped over the obvious, that a spear would make a good arrow for a giant, but a bowstring might not work on the scale required. He talked about throwing rocks like Fezzic from Princess Bride, and then surprised me by bringing up a sling. Well played, sir. The sling pouch might have to be a HORSE, but, a giant's own hair could be used for making the rope. He was also right in pointing out that armored boots would be great. Padded armor could be thick enough to repel arrows and still be worn.

He messed up in one way: he recommended somebody make a scythe for him. Head-level swing. It would be a fantastic idea if it wouldn't have been monstrous for a smithy to make. Just yank a tree for each hand, flip it, and wade in, swinging. Have people with weapons chasing--they're down, but it's war, right? Maybe swing oxcarts the same way? That's it.

Thank you. END SPOILER ALERT.
