(If you guys get bored and want to quit, then tell me.)<br/><br/>At the armory the four of them were given instructions and equipment:<br/>"Alright guys, just follow my orders and it`ll be okay." Marrick Longfoot began speaking. He looked like he had been a soldier for quite a while, though his very short haircut and his broad nose made him look older than his actual age. He was probably in his thirties.<br/><br/>"Now, I am the leader of this scout group as you have probably figured out by now if you have been listening. If I were to be killed during our mission, Evan Godwinson will take the lead as he has seniority. If he were to be killed as well, you are to get your way back here if possible."<br/><br/>He handed a short sword and a crossbow to each of the three:<br/>"Now, you will be granted a short sword and crossbow. These are mostly for defensive purposes as we probably won't be able to defeat a giant by ourselves, depending on their size. Our only hope is to wound them, or preferably shoot them in the eyes. We will have to travel light as any heavy armor will slow us down and make noise."<br/><br/>He held up a bundle of red colored firewood.<br/>"These are our warning signals. If we find a giant, we will fire up one of these, thus allowing the guys back at the fort to prepare themselves in advance."<br/><br/>He put the bundles in backpacks and handed each backpack to the members of the group:<br/>"There is a boat waiting for us at the river. Any questions before we depart?"
