JACK THE GIANT KILLER
A Handsome, Young, Adventuring Giant Killer
You are a handsome, gallant, laughing
young lad who has made a name for himself in Pantomimia by killing giants.
Your methods have included digging huge pits for them to fall into, making
them slit their own stomachs after eating porridge and making them fall down
beanstalks. You actually have some magic beans which can be used to create a
tall beanstalk at will. You keep them in a pouch hung on a leather string
around your neck. At the ball tonight
Prince Charmless unexpectedly announced that he was sending
you on a quest to kill Cormoran, King of the Giants!
Your start in life was tragic. Your mother, sister of
Dame
Trot, died shortly after giving birth to you. You have
therefore been brought up by your Aunt Trot, alongside her own son,
Simple Simon.
You are suffering from concussion after a blow to the head that you must
have received in the tower. The last thing you can remember is leaving the
ballroom to take the air in the palace gardens. After that everything is a
blank!
