Swamped

Against an opponent of this size, there are two main strategies.

The first is simply to strike quickly and often. It usually takes a lot of time for a large opponent to act, so you make the most of your opportunities in between their strikes.

You don't think that's going to work here - this is a Giant. Their reflexes are better than their size would suggest. That leaves you with the second strategy - let the foe set the pace, and strike back when they make a move.

It should be particularly effective against this beast, as its legs are quite small relative to its massive body. So its main weapons will be its head and tail... that or simply trying to crush you, but without its full flight capabilities, that should be easy to catch.

Or... it could clutch the deck and start making the ship shake. You hadn't seen that one coming. Still, you can see how to respond. You plant your staff in the ground, and use it to launch yourself right at the Giant's front leg.

The leg lets go, and the shaking stops a moment later. The giant withdraws in pain. Seems your best bet might be to take this one limb at a time.

You're now Corvus. And you and Ash are barely standing up after that last shake.

"I'm not sure this was a good idea," Ash says. "There might not be any good place to let him lie down at this rate."

"I definitely can't count on holding onto the box next time," you admit. "I'll drop it off in that empty room we passed earlier. Then we can figure out what we're doing next."

"It's probably closer than heading back to the cell at this point," Ash concedes. "So I'll take it."

You carry the box, and Long, over to the room, and put the box down in a corner. Then you lay Long down; it's not the best place, but it's all you've got right now.

So what do you do from here?
