Storm King's Thunder

What a terrible day.  The giants weren’t even willing to talk.  The leader blew her horn and a terrible attack began.  Boulders were  thrown over the wall into the city, as if they just wanted to cause fear and panic more than anything.  The leader didn’t seem to waver the entire time she attacked the south-west gate.  She was peppered with arrows and wounds, burnt by magical fire but this only made her more determined to succeed at her mission.  With a single incredible blow, the gate was forced open and her winter wolves burst through the gate with lightening speed.  The city guards launched a volley of spears but turned and ran away from the wolves.  Having gained access to the city, the Giantess was determined to see this through.  The hero’s of the day, visitors to the city of Bryn Shander, stood toe-to-toe with their foes.   The giant's and the winters wolves towered over them, but they were undeterred.   Concentrating their attacks on the leader brought her down and she f

Morning, 25th of Ches, 1492 DR Zephros explained the shattering of the Ordning , the hierarchy of giant-kind and that King Hekaton is missing.

Late Afternoon, 20-21 of Ches, 1492 DR A very smooth prisoner exchange occurred. The agreed upon 40 gp were left in the centre of the clearing. Hark counted the coin (to the best of his abilities) and released the prisoners.  All the villagers of Nightstone were grateful, relieved and emotional on their return home.  The morning of the next day, there was a memorial for Lady Velrosa Nandar.  In the afternoon, a dinner in honour of the great rescuers.  The rewards were 60 gold pieces, a luck stone, a healers kit and a potion of healing, and... ? Morak Ur’gray was also very appreciative and asked if the MC (Motley Crew) would travel to Bryn Shander to deliver the news to Sheriff Markham Southwell of the passing of his sister. Maggie urged Dudley to remain in Nightstone and await her family.  Maggie was also informed that her family had arranged for a marriage party in Nightstone, two days hence.  Her father had lied.
