"...So that's about it, savvy? Bloody axe went too far and ended up over 'ere, takin' the top off that castle." The giant orcess explained, shrugging. "Was throwing it at some dragon, but the lizard dodged: lizard was too scared to take the hit. Wanker." She scowled and spat on the ground--at her size, her show of disdian sent a glob of saliva as big as a house splattering across the ground and turning trees into splinters. "Didn't mean to make any morsels piss themselves."

In an outstretched hand, a small white orb glowed green. "She's telling the truth, Hiro!" an Elf mage announced cheerfully as she dismissed her spell. "Looks like this was just an accident; we don't need to fight her at all!"

"Thanks Karyssa," a Human warrior said. He looked up at the green giantess. "Well miss, that's about it. Feel free to take your axe back, we'll be on our way."

"Dammit, I was ready for a throwdown!" a Catfolk woman huffed, like a kitten having a mouse taken away. "I spent all night cleaning my mace--" she twirled the weapon "--and now I won't even get fresh blood on it to show off!"

"Not now, Cleo..." Hiro grumbled.

"You lot? Fight me?" The orcess cackled and slapped her armored knee, the crude metal clanging. "Blimey, that's a riot! I killed a good hundred human 'warriors' just this morning--sat on them when I was making camp, didn't even know they were there! Only found out when I saw the big red stain on my arse." She gave her rear a slap. "You three couldn't hope to put a dent in me."

Cleo smirked, pointing her mace at the giant hand-axe embedded in the ground, a gash of upturned earth in its wake. "And you can't hope to throw that and hit your target. Guess we're even, eh Greenskin?"

The orcess snarled and rose a finger to object--then fell silent, her hand drooping and her face going red-green. "...Ah piss, ya got me."

"Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea!" Karyssa exulted, waving her hand around. Her Elvish near-immortality didn't prevent her from having childish moments. "What if I teach you some throwing techniques? That way you'll hit the dragon next time!"

The orcess smirked. "Killed 'im, but why not? Show me, morsel."

Karyssa took her spear off her back and held it up, arm bent. "So first, the throw starts in the hip, not the arm. Step forward with the same foot as your throwing arm..." She talked through a proper throw, demonstrating each step.

Cleo walked up beside Hiro, who was sighing and rubbing his head. "What's the problem, No-Fur?" she said with a lopsided grin. "We solved this 'peacefully', how you like. The Greenskin lady will actually hit what she's aiming at, and she'll take her axe and leave. Problem solved."

Hiro snorted. "Her axe took the top off the castle AND took out the inn before it landed out here. We have nowhere to stay tonight."

Cleo just laughed. "Ah, you humans and your 'roofs over your heads'. Take the win for once."

Hiro sighed, eyeing the giant orcess. He had a feeling in his gut they'd run into the giantess again...
