Now that the giant is dead, what happens to his cloud-tower that the PCs are currently exploring?
You should watch this awesome Sesame Street/Beastie Boys mash-up right now.

What's your idea, Barry Blatt? Don't leave me hanging!
ReplyDeleteI'd say it starts to disspiate and you'd better hurry up and find a way out. Suddenly, it turns into a cloudy version of Blackhawk Down.
ReplyDeleteA bunch of high altitude estate agents come round and start trying to measure the place up and then flog it to a dragon, the fact it has pests (ie the PCs) is rather unwelcome and exterminators are engaged.
ReplyDeleteIt starts to rain, reducing the size of the tower in every dimension. The PCs can try and guide the place over the sea where it will hopefully attract water vapour and grow again, go end a drought, or just see the place drip away and shrink until they get squeezed out of the windows (or find those high altitude estate agents and sell the gaff off to a bunch of winged hobbits).
As it slowly begins to collapse and dissipate, it triggers massive heavy weather around and beneath it for miles around. In the ensuing storms, hurricanes and falling chunks of cloud masonry, a powerful air elemental is released / created that is significantly more potent than the giants in question.
ReplyDeleteThis howling storm elemental (treat as a 20 HD air elemental if using rules where Storm Giants are 15HD) causes deafness to all within a mile and fear in all creatures of 4HD or less within that same area and can cast Call Lightning at will.
It has nothing against the party, but the locals are going to be in a lot of trouble.
(So, a variant of Option 1, I guess)
That's when the castle starts turning back into a normal floating castle. Suddenly, the castle is plainly visible in the sky and panic ensues on the ground for miles around.
ReplyDeleteyou can drive it if you can reach the pedals from the wheel
ReplyDeleteIt's previous inhabitants call it home
ReplyDeleteAnd destroy the pcs
ReplyDeleteMe being the bastard GM I am would probably have clearly and plainly warned the PCs that "if you kill the giant, everyone is going to die" ideally even uttered by the giant that, in retrospect, was trying to save everyone. Once he dies, the clouds disipate and everyone gets to make a fall check.
ReplyDeleteThe cloud (and the stuff of the castle itself) starts turning into a dark rain cloud. Once the storm starts, the castle starts melting, running away. After the rain, not a trace left.
ReplyDeleteSome villager somewhere gets a giant-sized door hinge in his thatch roof during the storm.
As the giant breaths his last breath, you begin to feel... bigger.
ReplyDeleteScott Croom's idea is better
