High up in the mountains, the air is thin and clear. Crags of stone touch the sky, and this is inhospitable country, where little grows except a few scraggly gorse bushes. It is much more frigid here, high above sea level, particularly at night, when the stars are brilliant points of light. A narrow crevasse seems to have been hewn by hand--an extremely difficult task indeed. There is something ominous about the path winding through the pass, and the bones of small animals (mute, surely) have been scattered along the ground.

The trail ends at the giant city of Harfang itself, which provides a dubious comfort. As might be expected, everything from the dwellings to the furniture--what furniture there is, at least--is oversized. Whatever the giants do with their time it is clearly not spent on the upkeep of Harfang, since the town has run to seed. Everything is dirty, and much of the town could use some basic repairs and maintenance, particularly the sagging thatch of the roofs. Even the few crops they've managed to cultivate are practically overrun by weeds.

Grenda

Grenda sits in her throne room, making a not-very-credible attempt to hide her boredom as she listens to the excuses of one of her hunters who was unable to catch a lame buck. She leans her cheek in a corpulent palm and watches the hunter with glazed eyes.

If only we had some real hunting to do... I haven't tasted one of those oversized Narnian Beasts in far too long...

Fed up with pretending she cares, she flicks her hand for one of her guards to take care of the inadequate hunter.

Gullygut heaves the carcass of the buck he has smashed onto one massive shoulder, not even breaking a sweat. He continues to tramp through the mountains, letting out a satisfied grunt.

Gully smash good. Eating time soon.

His stomach gives out a loud rumble and he scowls, lumbering just slightly more speedily. His steps would take him in the direction of Harfang.
 
Grenda

Grenda peers out one of the grand windows of the hall. She looks half-annoyed and half-pleased with what she finds there.
"The Oaf has returned," She announces to no one in particular.
 
.o Gullygut o.

Gullygut has been in the process of entering when Grenda speaks. He drops the deer at Grenda's feet, where it lands with a thud, its legs at an awkward angle.

He scowls, his tiny eyes narrowing. Apparently, he's caught enough to know that she's been insulting him.

"Gully smashed like you said! Why you not happy?"
 
Grenda waves a fat flippant hand at the ugly creature before her. "Bring it to Allougah, and then return to me. I have something more exciting for you, if your tiny brain can handle it."

OOC> I just realized I am now playing to evil queens. I don't know what this says about me as a person but it can't be good.
 
.o Gullygut o.

OOC: It says you have talent ;).

Gullygut begins to drag the deer away until his tiny brain catches onto the fact that once again he's been insulted. He turns back towards Grenda, frowning. "Gully's brain just fine. You watch what you say if you no want Gully smashing."

His massive fist clenches.
