highbough (wis15) would rather take his chances with wolves than the big scary giant, so he follows them into the abbey!

Alas, Olaf's wisdom is only 8, he hasn't joined the dots yet. All he sees is a terrific cloud of dust roiling forth as a 12ft giant bursts through the opposite wall, sending timbers and stones tumbling in all directions! The monster has a h u g e sword that looks like it could cut Olaf in two, and it's making a beeline for the abbey gate, wherein the priests have already withdrawn.

Olaf stays hidden (or mostly hidden) where he is and lets the giant go lumbering past. He can't see Highbough, but thinks to himself, "Surely the old elf will have enough sense to stay hidden and keep out of the way of this thing!"

Other than that, he's waiting for further events to develop.

From Olaf's position he see the Giant lumbering out of the dust cloud rising over the clattering ruin left behind it, and then to his surprise, he dimly sees several of his companions following after it... he can make out Gustave, surely, and who are those others behind him..? Ulric and Armando?

The Giant... wait! It's Giant Guntram! And he's making a beeline right for the abbey double doors. He'll reach them in about half a dozen more strides! The others are only half a minute behind him.

What now?

Olaf will step out of his cover and wave to his comrades!
" Bad guys, that'a way!" Olaf shouts and points toward the chapel, " Highbough has already gone in. I've been waiting for you to show up."

Giant Guntrum breaks into a huge grin at the sight of Olaf. "Follow me, little man, before that wily elf has all the fun!"

Ulric turns in surprise to see Olaf.

"Guntram wait! You're not going to fit in there and we still have wolves behind us!"

Ulric takes a moment to make sure the wolves have not started approaching the breach in the wall then turns back to Olaf.

"Olaf, how many have you seen."

"I'll see to the wolves sure enough after I bash in these doors." Giant Guntrum regards the abbey with a goofy grin. "Ha! Ha!, Three Little Wolfies let me in, let me in - not by the fur on your chinny chin chins? Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll bloooooowwwwwww your doors in!" Giant Guntrum chortles! He makes sure there is an adequate bridge for the others to cross the tar; he judges to see if he can jump over himself to avoid destroying the bridge and then set to on the double doors.

"Two black robed guards and two wolves. Guarding the entrance, there." Olaf points to the entrance, " Highbough disappeared in that direction. We are thinking the artifacts we are looking for are in there."

" Let's go get them!"
