Glenndarc Information on the Giant raid
Show spoiler
This most recent Giant raid is the fifth he has experienced. And, it is the most worrisome. The scouts, caught off guard, could neither warn the village nor mount a successful defense. Somehow the Giants infiltrated past their forward lookouts and caused damage to one of the warrens that screens the mine entrance. In addition, they gathered up a score of sheep and goats. But, worst of all, some of his children were injured and killed. The Giants have not operated in this region for over 30 years. Finding their current lair is the key to chasing them away, far away.
