*As Kaalzyr and Odvan approached Largashbur, it was made evident that something wasn't right. The same heavy thuds heard earlier were heard once more, and emerging through the forest made it clear: the stronghold was under attack. A giant was outside the gates, while a couple Orc archers fired at it with arrows and an Orcish woman clad in steel armor fought it up close, brandishing sword and shield slashing at its leg. The giant responded by stomping the ground, knocking her off her feet, as it prepared to follow up with its club.*

"Nevermind about that, then!" He says, turning quick and charging for the giant's leg. He pulls the spearhead out and then puts all his strength behind a swing, hoping to cleave the leg in two, "I think we found what the giants have been attracted to."

*The giant had been in the middle of swinging down onto the Orc woman, but with Odvan's strike cleaving halfway through the giant's calf, she was able to get out of the way as it fell onto one knee. She slashed twice in quick succession at its intact calf, while the giant attempted to swing its free hand at Odvan.*

*Kaalzyr still held onto his axe, walking toward the giant while it struggled with the two Orcs. A voice called from the walls, a woman dressed in black robes who was slinging shards of ice at the giant.*

"By Malacath, what is that?!"
Billy
"It's a Havocrel and an ally, so far. Currently travelling with me, we're looking for what's got the giants so pissed off, and it's led us to your stronghold." He climbs on the giant's back, and slams his axe into the giant's neck
