Against the Storm Giants
Storm giants are wisest of all the giants but also the most superstitious. Thanks to their connection to the wide world and the elemental might of rain, lightning, and thunder, they can see beyond the range of mortal men and can predict events that have yet to occur.
While storm giants are innately good, their portents sometimes lead to conflicts of interest. After all, those who are unable to envision what the giants can only focus on the here and now and less on the "greater picture."
Where to Add This Encounter
This side trek is designed for three to seven 17th- to 20th-level characters and is optimized for five characters with an average party level (APL) of 20.
This encounter can be added at an important turning point in an ongoing game or even as the climax of an important story arc. The characters must find or protect a special item or person. Meanwhile, the storm giants will do everything in their power to ensure that the item or person doesn't fall into the wrong hands—even if it means destroying the characters to accomplish this. As good creatures, the giants offer plenty of warnings. As chaotic and wise creatures, however, they will not take "no" for an answer.
