Quotations
Caduceus (interrupting): "Very wise." Soorna (continuing): "...So...when they...pierced my brother, and pulled the life from his veins...I gave the command to flee. We regrouped and lost two more as we exited the cave.  It was just the eight of us.  After we had some time to collect our thoughts and prepare to return, we...walked back to the...front...of Braan...and there I saw my brother waiting.  [Omebad?/Onbut?], he who I saw...die before me, just smiled back.  And I knew it wasn't him..." Sam (joking): "If I wasn't so scared in this moment, I would say that that monster looks ridiculous!" Taliesin (frustrated): "No! Goddamnit!" Travis (confused): "Of who? Of what?!?" Marisha (stressed): "Of what?!?" DM (continuing): "The corpse, and you watch the giant's head go..." (the giant's head cracks as it turns) Ashley (worried): "Uh oh!" Nott (calling out to the rest of the party): "Uh, guys? Guys?!?  We've got a-" DM (continuing): "...And look right towards you with this terrible grin, that begins to tear...its jaw unhinges, to the point... Liam (scared): "No..." DM (continuing): "...Where the flesh tears at the corners into this wide..." Liam (still scared): "No..." DM (continuing): "...Twisted smile..." Travis (terrified): "Nono...nono!" DM (concluding): "...And that's where we'll pick up next time!" cast (freaking out): "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
 * Soorna (why the stone giants ran away from their home): "...At first, before all of this...we didn't know from where the smell was coming. But from the bone pit...a strange...a strange glow was discovered by [Omebad?/Onbut?], my brother.  But we didn't think anything of it...until the small nightmares began to come.  We tried to fight, but...our clubs and rocks glanced off of their beastly, horned hides, and...I know better than to know that something small does not make it not dangerous..."
 * stone giant hunter (repeating a common giant saying to Soorna): "You cannot trust folks smaller than your shoulder."
 * Caleb (reassuring that he doesn't judge Nott's behavior): "I-I think that we are working...towards something v-very good. And we could just fritter our life away...and just abandon hope...you and I.  But you're not: you are working towards something GOOD.  And your son needs a world to grow up in, with parents who love him.  So...you are feeling poorly, you are doubting yourself.  I understand that very well...but I don't share your opinion of you.  Or this group."
 * Travis (panicking as the chasme dives down from above): "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I DON'T LIKE IT, I DON'T LIKE IT, I DON'T LIKE THIS!!!"
 * Dungeon Master (describing a "jellyfish made of light" as it enters the stone giant corpse): "It drifts, and then touches and enters the body..."
