Between Deimos's shield and his Vest, Tal got away from the boulder mostly unscathed, but it didn't look like that would last long if the giant had any say in the matter. As it lumbered towards them with its shoulder on fire, the courier's eyes widened and he swallowed hard, gripping his glaive with gloved but sweaty hands.
And then the Warden's fire cast out from behind the remnants of their bulwark and lashed around the Giant so now there was a flaming Frost Giant shambling towards them. Boreal huffed joyfully high overhead and turned to begin her dive, wanting in on the fiery fun--
"Boreal, no!" Tal called up, ducking away from the remains of their fallen fortress and putting space between him and Deimos so that the Giant would have to choose one or the other, rather than getting a two-for-one special. "We need its hide for the quest!"
Hopefully Deimos would hear that yell, too.
Tal backs away to give the Giant two targets instead of one and reminds his dragon and friends that they need that particular hide that might be currently on fire.
