Wren and Emie find that the Giants inaddition to roaming in groups, and are still as wild and frenzied as ever to any unfortunate soul they come across.
There also appears to be a few extra clearings where the giants have chopped and hacked trees down for some unknown purpose.
It is however, just before approaching the area around the Dun Lake, that they found changes of interest.
Across what were usually the well-trodden dirt paths the adventurers follow, are spikes, with the latest giant victims impaled upon them.
Some are adventurer's who though to assist in the culling of the growing Giant populations.
Yet other's appear to be simple travelers, merchants, and hung from a tree in grizzly pose is even the body of a woman.
They also found lone giants, hidden within the dense brush, watching and waiting.
They seem different than the usual Giant tribes.
Thier tattoo's were more flamboyant and extravagant, with a headress seemingly made from vines and wood which makes them standout.
And beyond these, they found smaller groups of giants wandering the Dunn Lake shores they strode with purpose, watchful eyes penetrating the woodlands.
And around the neck of one, was a battered ivory horn.
It becomes obvious, that the giants are actually patrolling.
Wren later along with Elgon, Drachus, and Gimli went to investigate further. They met heavy resistance, to the point where they were forced to retreat and one of them fell in the fighting. It seems now that some of the giants are resistant to magic as well.
