How could they see us? As I stand besides Aerimor's grave, I wonder how these rangers and giants could see us? What happened?!

We started our trip trying to get mahogany, Verideth, his twin Aerimor and I. We need to gather some mahogany for the new house to be relocated. So we went... we sneaked, and got to an area with mahogany on it. A couple giants and dark rangers guarded the area. I made us all invisible... and I learned later it was a big mistake.

I believe I heard one of the rangers cast a spell. Perhaps they could see invisibility through it? It's the only explanation, because all of a sudden... a giant comes running and attacks Aerimor, who is unseen. I run to him to heal him but can't find him as he was hiding. I even tried to throw a potion at the air to see if he was nearby but it didn't reach him. He bled to death! If I could only have had the ability of seeing him I could have helped! I need to learn new spells to be more powerful in these situations.

Verideth and I walked away and tried to calm down. As we cleared our heads, we went back and tried to gather the wood. We made this long trip, so we would rather honor Aerimor's death by making it productive. We got some tinder... Verideth can easily forage for wood and we wanted to try it to see if it doesn't disturb the enemies. It worked!

We lured the giants one by one to Verideth's bear and fougth them to get more wood. We managed to get a few more branches. He protected me as I used my axe and let myself be seen by the giants. The rangers were hiding, waiting to attack us, but we managed to gather the wood quickly and move to a safer area.

I can't wait until the day I can charm one of these giants and have them on our side in battle! I will work more on learning new spells. I see the need for several of them in moments like this. I will make it happen!
