The giant leaped to his feet with a display of strength and agility no one would expect from a 50-foot tall giant, but Quogh was already in full retreat. He heard a chain whistle through the air behind him, but it missed. He crashed through the door in the wall and practically trampled Dekh as they all rushed upstairs.

The giant was too big to get through the door. They all escaped. Dekh was wishing he had learned some offensive spells. A couple of Take That You Fiend spells might have turned the tide in this encounter.

They climbed to the top and found themselves in the room at the end of the long corridor again.

"What now?" asked Vin. "I don’t think I want to go back down there right now. Lucky that giant was too big to crowd into this stairway."

"We have a lot of options here," said Dekh. "One thing I can tell you is that we need to stop being so trusting. Just because we can talk to the monsters in here doesn’t mean we should. This is enemy territory."

"Gotta admit that your Knock Knock spell is useful, Dekh. So is the Oh-There-It-Is and the Lock Tight," said Quogh. "What other magic do you have?"

Dekh grinned weakly. "I can cast That’s a Natty Beard," he told them. "Also Find Object, and Find Person. The trouble is that we haven’t really lost any objects or people, so it’s a bit hard to find them."

They rested for a while and discussed their options.

Did they:

1. Go back down the hall toward the dungeon entrance?

4. Go through secret panel number 2?
5. Go through secret panel number 3?
6. Go back down the long stairway and kick that giant’s butt?
