[Grot]

It had gone as easily as he had been told it would. The mongrel half breed had shown up just as he had been told, and with little effort Grot had captured her. The girl had been frozen in fear the moment she laid eyes on his magnificent form. As a giant he suspected he seemed godlike to the lesser races at times, he was certain his prey agreed with that assessment given her reaction of absolute fear. His prey didn't even attempt to escape as he lifted her into the air, grinning like only a giant could as he stared at his prize. This mistake of nature was worth ten thousand crowns in Imperia, and another two thousand crowns were owed to him by the man now approaching to bind her in the shackles. This was to easy however, and Grot knew it, there was more to this then he needed or wanted to know. If the goal was merely to get rid of a criminal, this man would have taken in this whelp himself, it was quite obvious to Grot she was incapable of defending herself even from the likes of a maggot like the messanger. No, there was more to this, Grot was quite sure whoever was really pulling the strings wouldn't mind to much if the courier didn't return....and Grot was feeling rather hungry.

Waiting until the peon had finished chaining up his prey, the giant let her fall to the ground roughly before turning to the man that had hired him. "I believe you owe me another two thousand crowns now" the monster said with a twisted smile. Grot knew this man wasn't going to betray him, his masters wanted the giant to take the woman far away from here, double crossing Grot would only bring an angry giant to their door. Reaching out a hand, Grot waited for the remainder of his payment to be handed over. Regrettably for cloaked man, this would be the last job he ever did and unfortunately for Elantria, she would be forced to watch every moment of it. First things first though, the giant had to catch his meal before he could decide how best to eat him. The plan was simple enough, when the human reached out to hand over his payment, Grot would quickly clamp his hand around the mans arm before quickly grabbing hold of the other. Once this was accomplished, it would be time to get creative.
