Galrik's Side Quest Four: Into Grudd Haug
General Summary
After conducting some administrative work for Peldan’s Helm, Galrik returned to the captured hill giant. Galrik threaten the hill giant with either joining his village or death. The hill giant started to cry as he was afraid of Galrik but also feared his chief of his clan Chief Guh. The hill giant tells Galrik if he defeats Chief Guh he could talk to his clan and pledge loyalty to Galrik. Galrik asks about Chief Guh and the hill giant tells Galrik she is a large hill giant. Chief Guh ran off all the female giants from the clan and took all the male hill giants in the clan as husbands. The male hill giants are responsible for collecting food and resources for Chief Guh as she is always hungry. The hill giant also tells Galrik of a man with pointy ears arrived at their home (Grudd Haug) with a deal with Chief Guh. The man with pointy ears told Chief Guh if they could find a little person named Cora Tealeaf and bring her to him he would give the clan all the resources they could ever want. Galrik talks with Durora about the possibilities of raiding Grudd Haug. Durora tells Galrik she has a friend who may help with scouting the area and the man the hill giant was describing matched the half-elf with strange tattoos. Durora’s friend returns and tells Galrik about Grudd Haug and the hill giants are damming the lake causing the river in Peldan’s Helm to drop.
Galrik committed to raid Grudd Haud asks Nyx and her companion Teywin for help. Nyx questions Galrik about the nature of his request and Galrik mentions the half-elf and his fascination with Cora’s capture. Nyx tells Galrik she will help with Teywin. Durora agrees to go as well to help. Nyx and Teywin arrive in Peldan’s Helm where they meet up with Galrik and Durora. Teywin leads the way to Grudd Haug.
The party arrives at Grudd Haug, a large structure which appears to have been built over an area which resembles a beaver’s dam. Nyx scouts the area out and see three areas of entry, an area by a watch tower, a cave entrance to the east of the structure and the main gate to the south of the structure. Galrik creeps up to the main gate and peers in. Galrik sees approximately ten figures near a campfire with tents. Several pins with sheep flank the area around the tents. Feeling it may raise to much of an alarm Galrik settles on entering the structure by the watch tower. Teywin moves into position and launches a volley of arrows at a hobgoblin manning the tower killing it instantly. The party moves up into the tower and conceals the body. They then make there way into the lodge.
Nyx opens the door which leads into a kitchen. The party witness several goblins preparing a large meal and they are in the process of cooking an older male Halfling. Nyx turns invisible as she sneaks into the kitchen to untie the Halfling. Galrik pulls out his tankard and enters the kitchen. The goblins pause for a moment asking why he was there. Galrik tells them he is there for the meal but the goblins do not believe him and attack. Galrik smashes several of the goblins with his tarkard as Nyx and Teywin dispatch the others. The Halfling thanks the party for helping him and introduces himself as Roderik Hilltopper. Galrik hearing noise from a door to the east of the kitchen peers out into a large feasting hall where he sees several male hill giants attending a grossly huge female hill giant. Several goblins are wheeling wheelbarrows of food to the female hill giant as she cries out for more food.
Session ended.
