Colin could now see that the Frost Giant he'd spotted on deck was, in fact, sitting cross-legged on the first level of the hold. A few oversized Hand Axes, Javelins, and Shields were laid out beside him.
If not for the Giant sitting there, anyone would have mistaken the items for building materials; their size was simply preposterous.
Looking around, Colin could tell the ship was clearly a refitted cargo vessel.
The sides of the hold had been partitioned into individual cabins, with a common hall furnished with tables and chairs in the center.
The hold was just as noisy and bustling.
In a corner, a Mantis-man was playing chess with a giant crow.
The Mantis-man had four arms and a body covered in an insectoid, chitinous exoskeleton. Its complex mouthparts constantly made soft clicking sounds. The giant crow across from it was about as tall as a Halfling and, instead of wings, possessed a pair of sturdy arms.
Colin didn't recognize the former, but he had seen the latter before.
