Konka Rar finally emerged from the giant's ear.

"Raise your hand to this ear," he commanded. The giant complied, holding out its open palm for the lich to stand on.

"Now, raise this hand to the top of your head." The giant lifted its hand higher, and Konka Rar stepped off, into the giant's thick hair. He noted that the giant evidently hadn't showered in some time.

"Lower your hand." The giant's arm dropped to its side. Konka Rar looked around the room, using his cybernetic eye to get a better view.

There was no sign of Ekelhaft. He could see Ziirphael flying off, but no other contestants. However, upon spotting the refrigerator, he recalled that Gormand had gone off in that direction earlier.

"Go towards that machine." The lich did not point to it - the giant would not have seen it, and the verbal commands were not strictly necessary in the first place. They simply strengthened the mental link between necromancer and minion. The giant began walking towards the refrigerator.

However, Konka Rar had not realized how close Calm and Diego were to the giant. So close, in fact, that they were in the lich's blind spot, completely overlooked by his otherwise thorough scan. As the giant's feet began moving, Calm cursed himself - of course the giant would start moving again when he was this close, that was how his luck almost always worked.
