Encounter: Knell Giant, a rather horrific magical hybrid of a Hill Giant and a Knell Beetle, although its sonic attacks are directed from its bell, rather than a horn. Assisted by a robed acolyte, the Knell Giant is most frequently used as security for especially dark rituals involving grave-robbing or sacrifice, looming quietly in the dark and easily mistaken for a ruined bell-tower; once roused, tends to stay on all fours, but may try to smack or stomp on enemies, while a solid ring of its bell knocks intruders within 100 ft (roll d6) for d4 rounds:

  1. Cowering
  2. Deafened
  3. Frightened
  4. Panicked
  5. Prone
  6. Staggered

The news: There’s a giant, 25-foot statue of Jeff Goldblum in London now

Me: what’s he doing there?

The news: reclining, his shirt open, his angle improbable, floating slightly by Tower Bridge

Me: reasonable. Fair. do we know why?

The news: something to do with Jurassic Park, we assume.

Me: Ah yes – the iconic movie that I always associate with London, England. So obvious. Of course. 

The news: experts are saying “This monstrously large Jeff Goldblum is how I like to imagine the man himself in his true form, or how he would have appeared in the age of megafauna.”

Me: sure, I don’t question that. 

The news: We’ve chosen to caption this image with “Onlookers goggle at Jeff Goldblum’s low-slung trousers and single nipple.”

Me: … are you guys….. okay?

The news: it’s just. it’s making  a nice change from current events

Encounter: giant Jeff Goldblum that materializes hovering and lounging in metropolitan areas, probably a sign or portent of something, although he’s not saying what
