Game summary for July 5, 2012, Priscus Venatus campaign, G1: The Steading of the Hill Giant Chief adventure; present PCs included Althion Whiteoak (fighter), Ardel Blueback (dwarf fighter), Crularin Gellantara (druid), and Drake Spellking (half-elf cleric/magic-user) and present henchmen included Rowena Starblaze (magic-user).
Crularin hit the hill giant with his wand of wonder with no effect. The giant then threw open the doors unleashing over a dozen dire wolves. The party and the canines engaged. Crularin fired another blast from his wand of wonder, and the team fighters waded into the brawl. Drake used magic missile on the giant, drawing blood. Soon, the giant and most of the wolves fell to blade and spell. However, an enormous cloud giant and a dozen hill giants emerged from the steading! Crularin used a wall of fire to try and hold them back, but a barrage of hurled rocks and the swings of the cloud giant proved devastating. The giants cut down Ardel, and the rest of the team started to fall back. Althion took off to safety, but Crularin, Rowena, and Drake were knocked out and captured by the wicked giants!
