Here is a snippit of Elrum vs Daub (half-giant)... the HG had just attacked Selene al'arabeti (or al'seik I forget) and Elrum interceded because they were hunting together. This is what happens when an HG faces off against a ranger with high offense/defense. It's worth noting Elrum only had Jman bludgeon at his highest point because his offense was to high to raise it, I also have brief combat on during this log...
TLDR - HGs ain't got shit on agility rangers & bolded combat
Stinging sand swirls around you.
Scrub Plains [N, E, S, W]
Rolling scrublands stretch out here, their hardpacked surface etched
by the ravages of the sand-laden wind which blows constantly, combing the
long plains grasses into tangled drifts of color. Sparse sands blow through
the tall pech grass and the shorter tufts of gesra grass, whose pale
lavender blades are scattered through the brown and green lattices created
by the pech. Dispersed through the rolling waves of grasses are the narrow,
rattling stalks of another plant, each stalk tipped with traces of white
blossoms. Small softwood trees stand among the grasses, none more than a
human's height, their branches covered with dull green leaves.
To the east and south the scrubs give way to red sandy barrens. The
scrubs continue beyond the horizon to the west and north.
The short figure in a dusty layered black cloak with an agate clasp has arrived from the south, riding a long-mandibled iridescent beetle.

You look down at the curly, black-haired man.
A tall man with wide shoulders is here. His large frame is almost like that
of a half-giant in proportion, although obviously considerably smaller, with
large bones and bulky muscles. His curly black hair is smoothly combed
backward, and his eyes rest below a thick pair of dark eyebrows. Several
prominent wrinkles can be seen around his cheeks and the corners of his mouth,
curving naturally like that of a smile. Despite his large and muscular upper
body, his legs are quite thin, with several sprawling tattoos covering his ankle
and snaking toward his thighs.
The curly, black-haired man is in excellent condition.
The curly, black-haired man is using:
<neck> a blue and purple inked band
<across back> a rough canvas backpack

You look up at the colorfully inked half giant.
From his shaggy hair to his wide, flat feet, the visible flesh of this
half giant is speckled with blotchy patches of multi-colored ink. Knotted,
ropy hair hangs down over bright green eyes and partially obscures his
lopsided ears, the left being bigger and floppier than the right. A broad
nose and fat lipped mouth are flanked by deep dimples in his chubby cheeks.
His chest and arms, though bulky, are not overly muscular and barely narrow
through his waist. The disproportionately large hands at the ends of his
arms can easily scratch his turned in knees while he stands straight.
A faded, almost perfectly straight scar crosses his forehead, spanning
both eyebrows.
The colorfully inked half giant is in moderate condition.
The colorfully inked half giant is using:
<on head> a stained white, tembo-skull helmet
<on face> a pair of sunslits
<around neck> a stained fanged, inix-shell gorget
<about throat> a string of clay beads
<across back> a stained large, leaf-patterned leather backpack
<on torso> a bloodied chitinous breastplate
<on left shoulder> a coil of fibrous rope
<on arms> a set of tentacle-branded grey leather sleeves
<around right wrist> a bloodied polished tortoiseshell bracer
<around left wrist> a polished tortoiseshell bracer
<both hands> a long, twin-bladed baobab axe
<as belt> a leather pouched belt
<hung from belt> an obsidian-headed polished-bone mace
