Arkadie (half-elf Warlock), Barn (minotaur fighter) and Sable (mousekin rogue) are investigating the disappearance of a jungle expedition, and come across a small abandoned keep at the edge of a cliff. Sable scouts ahead and discovers a worg and hill giant within, dozing away in the middle of the afternoon, with the missing (and quite dead) expeditionaries scattered around. She reports back, and the team comes up with a quick battleplan.
They attack the worg, with Sable sneaking up for a free critical strike to initiate combat. She nearly kills the thing in one shot, but it startles awake, yelping fiercely with pain and alerting the hill giant. Barn follows up with a charging gore attack, finishing it off. The hill giant crosses the small courtyard to investigate, sees the dead worg and bellows, "Oi, why'd you kill me dog?!"
Seeing a chance to parlay, Arkadie motions for Sable and Barn to hide before the giant can see them, and calls out, "Right, sorry about that! It attacked me, just defending myself. I was just hoping to have a word with you, mighty giant!"
Barn the minotaur whispers, "Hill giants are dumb as bricks, I'll get on all fours and pretend to be a dog, you can 'give me to him' as a gift."
Skeptical that even hill giants are that dumb, Arkadie goes along with the plan regardless. "But allow me to make it up to you! I'm... a breeder of exotic hounds, and it just so happens I have a fine specimen with me. I would like to offer it to you as an apology and a gift!"
DM: make a persuasion check
Me (Arkadie): 19, total of 24.
The hill giant replies, "uhhh, alright then, let's see it."
Barn, heretofore unseen by the giant, steps out from behind the wall on all fours and sniffs around like a dog.
"Wot kind of dog is that?" the hill giant asks.
Arkadie replies, "It's... a bull dog?"
