Giants

Look over the valley. There is a wide spot in the river channel with a double layered mound in the middle. On top is a walled fort. Watch for a couple of days. Most of the activity is during the day. River water is very cold. Discuss trying to use the river as a way to sneak in but there is little air space and we would need some way to breath underwater. Elwin sneaks up and look things over while I back him up. A lot of noise from inside. At the gates are 8x17ft doors. Thirty foot high walls. Sneak inside. A large area. Two sleeping giants and three doors. Party sounds behind second door. Sneak upstairs to tower. Alarm bell manned by a drowsy giant. Elwin and I discuss. I go back to get Dubious and the rest. When we get back to the gates, Brak casts a silence spell Dubious. Sneak up to the tower. Dubious and Elwin eliminate the alarm guard. We then go back down and kill the two sleeping ones. Cover the bodies with cloaks hanging from the wall. Check out the far door. Elwin uses his mirror. Looks like a hallway. Brak and Dubious push the door open. Elwin says something. Down and turn. Another door, behind which is a armory. A long hallway. Orcs at the end are carrying food and such to the Party Hall. Sneak past. Another door. Elwin hears heavy foot steps. Go back to the Armory and enter. A 2nd door. More weapon racks. Better weapons. Find a great hammer bearing Dubious’s family mark. Go back to door with foot steps. Jian gives Elwin a gaseous form potion just in case. Push door open. Elwin sneaks in. One long hall ending in a kitchen. Door with sleeping ogres. Another larger room with what looks to me to be a Cloud Giant. Decide what to do. First kill the other four sleeping giants. Then move to the Cloud Giant room. Sneak in and surprise him. Short but vicious fight. Jian enfeebles him. Dubious charges in with a good hit. Several of us contribute before he goes down.

Find papers and personal effects. Collect loot. No one seems to have noticed the fight. Cover him with blankets and move back to the entry hall. Check other quiet door. Short hallway. Well appointed room. Sneak in. One sleeping female. Kill her. Search room. Some jewelry items and a lot of coins. Find a large room full of children giants. Bypass it. A smaller room with four female giants primping for the party. Bypass. Door at the end of the hallway. Elwin checks with his mirror. Large hallways. One door leads to the party room. Another might lead to the wolves compound. See what looks like a trophy room. Investigate. Larger room with a fireplace and eight shields on opposite wall. Heraldry from Geoff. One fine shield. Check out adjacent room. Fine room. Find a large gem worth about 1000Au. Jian finds a secret door.
