Aiolos decided to get a room at the motel. It would cut his current wallet by about a 4th of its contents, but it was better than sleeping out of the open and risking getting mugged or something.

While Aiolos had not let out a scream, his eyes were wide with fear. That nightmare... just what was it? And why did it remind him of...

It didn't matter. With a couple shaky, but deep breaths, Aiolos managed to put this terror aside somewhat for the time being. It didn't matter. He couldn't let something like this distract him from his job, not to mention his end goal. Even so, the effects of this nightmare, and possibly the one before it, had taken its toll. Even Aiolos noticed he had a harder time controlling himself than usual.

With a glum expression on his face, Aiolos got ready for the day and headed out to get some stronger rope, trying to convince himself he was motivated to take down a giant.

Aiolos was absolutely no expert on rope, so just looking at the rope wouldn't do anything for him. Therefore, he went up to the counter and spoke with the shopkeeper. "Hello. I am looking for rope. Preferably, rope strong enough to entangle a giant." He said succinctly.

"I intend to take down a wood giant in the nearby wilds." Aiolos said. "My budget is just short of 100 euro, if that helps."

Aiolos examined the rope. "How long are these ropes? And what are their price?"

"I see. I will take three packs." Aiolos said and held out 36 euro. Despite the fact that Aiolos usually enjoyed conversation, he didn't feel like striking one up now. He just wanted to get the mission over with for the time being.

Aiolos nodded. "Thank you." He said, and left the store, heading once more into the woods.
