Serinous was wandering in the nearby forest when he heard the clash of metal against metal and smelled the sweet ting of blood, 'the mercs' he thought. This army of mercenaries have been raiding town after town for the past two months. He was getting tired of this. Not that he opposed the merciless bloodshed or the destruction of the towns but...This is his Territory!!! "I'm gonna wipe those mercs out myself" Serinous said to himself. Onward he went to go carve the guts out of every last mercenary he could find.
"Is this the last of them?" the leader of the Mercenaries asked his second in command pointing to the villagers that were on their knees in a circle. "Yes Sir, everyone else in the village is dead." Remarked the second-in-command. "Good, tell the men to start loading the wagons with anything of value they find in the houses." Replied the Leader.
Serinous was close now, so close he could smell the fear in the surviving villagers. 'One more minute,' he thought to himself. Their was only one mercenary left standing by the villagers, he figured he could create a protective earth barrier around them before he started with the slaughter.
Unlike most giants, Serinous was surprisingly intelligent. That gave him an advantage when it came to learning the arts of earth bending, he could learn the advanced forms of that art very easily. He was close enough now to use his powers on the villagers. His eyes narrowed and he raised his hands to shoulder level...Earth raised on all sides and over the survivors leaving a small air hole so they wouldn't suffocate. 'Now,' he thought after he was finished, 'time for some fun.'
The guard was staring in disbelief at...What a moment ago was the prisoners he was assigned to watched, when all of the sudden he saw something that stopped his heart....A huge hideous face of a man...And he was walking toward him!!!'Screw this!' Thought the guard, and started running as fast as he could to the nearest building.....

(An army of mercenaries eh, what an original story...)
A arrow penetrated the neck of the running mercenary, he rolled around for a while, slowly dying. aegis jumped down from the tree he was on, and moved on, he figured that this would become a large scale attack rather quickly...

(Of course it's original...had to start somewhere.)
Serinous glanced over from where the arrow came from, "Aegis," he muttered under his breath, "I'll have to deal with him later." he turned his attention back to the matter at hand, his presence was known now and he had to make sure he didn't squish that little human Aegis on top of it.
There was over a hundred mercs that he had to deal with,'No problem' he thought. only about 25 of them were aware of his presence at the moment, so he decided to deal with them first. They were approaching in standard formation, shields and swords upfront and archers in back. He looked around himself and found a good sized boulder, he picked it up and threw it.....Bullseye! Right in the middle of the group, swords and bows flew everywhere and only 5 of the original 25 were left. 'Not bad for just starting' serinous thought...

(sorry! Didn't read mark of an assassin)
The leader was on the other side of town when he got the news that Serinous was attacking his troops. "How many men are currently battle ready?" He asked his second-in-command, "sixty-two sir, the rest are either dead or loading goods." He replied, only a small portion of soldiers were over on the other side of town, the leader was worried that the giant would kill all the men over there before he could get over there. "Order the retreat, I want everybody to pull back into the caves." he ordered, "we don't have enough men to take on Serinous."...

(I'm not going to start writing in the RP yet. I would like to see how this starts out then I will join in as it gets interesting. But, Ice101, good thinking. A army of mercenaries. That is a well thought out idea going on. Can't wait to see what is going to happen. So... intrigue me here!)

( you get an Imagination Ace)
Serinous was getting ready to take out the last of the first wave, when he noticed that they were pulling out. 'hmmm... Interesting' he thought, 'their leader is not a complete idiot.'
The village was safe, he was not going to pursue the mercs...Yet, first he had to get some answers from Aegis. He had to find out if Aegis knew anything he didn't, and he still had to find out who this leader was...

(lol, hey Ace, not to mean or anything, but read up on Mark of the assasin, it's like the exact same story. No offense, just saying that Anthrax has a bigger imagination than you comprehend, but seriously guys, we gotta stop bickering, the whole reason were here is to have fun, so let's just roll with it.)
Aeges noted the giant walking towards him, he jumped down from the tree, not the wisest idea, considing that the giant recently killed 25 "mercs" with a boulder, and could quite possibly squish him. None the less he did what he could in his current position. He put away his bow and put his hand around his short sword. He mede a strange hand motion towards some bushes, which then shuddered followed by a small hand popping up with a thunb's up sign. He turned and made another motion to the other side of the trail, where he saw a tail wag in acknowledgement. If this giant were to try and attack him, he may not be able to defeat him, but his companions sure would.
(only if it comes to that, still wanna be friendly here)

(Hey, no bickering from me! I'm just tryin' to make a story in the best way I know how!)
Serinous noted that the little archer was brave enough to come down out of the tree. He commended him for that, not many sentiants would come out of their hiding spots when he was around.
"Okay Aegis I want some answers!" He started, "first, I want to know how you found out about this raid. Second, I want you to tell me anything that you know about our friend that's leading these idiot mercs. Third...I want you to tell your friends to come out from behind the bushes, I'm not going to hurt you. If I wanted to I would have done it already!".....

A smoothe voice asked a simple question from behind the two, his longsword drawn. It was an elf dressed in leather breeches, and a ratty old jerkin, worn from wear. Blunde hair was kept out of his emerald green eyes by a blue headband. "If they are Mercenaries, why not buy off a few of them.. There are more ways to claim victory than simple murder.. " Zephyr said with a smile. "Most mercenaries are self-serving, working for their pockets, not for a cause... I'm sure a viale amount of gold could 'pursuade' them to rally with you..."

Aegis paused for a moment, and motioned to the bushes. A small boy wandered next to Aegis, bow drawn, followed by na wolf to the opposite side of him. (pause for dramatic effect!)
"The Mercenaries have completely sacked the town to the south, all of the buildings there are under their control..." I followed you because your a giant lumbing through a forest directly towards the enemy, you either have a grudge to pay, or your intent on causing havoc."
(K just to let you know, the enemy conrols the town, a big town, with several very large buildings, so this battle will be a little more urban.)

"These Mercs are not your everyday 'sell for services' guys." Replied Serinous, "these guys believe that they are searching for some great riches. Of what kind I don't know, that's why I'm talking to Aegis!" turning around so he could face both Aegis and this new character, that seemingly came out of nowhere. "I guess introductions are an necessity, seeing that I'm not going to kill you!" Stated Serinous, "My name is Serinous Maximus, the only giant around here..."
