The Hill Giants and their Ogre lackeys and bugbear servants have been a problem in Gyruff as far as anyone can remember. But they always were sporadic. Now platoons of the monsters have come down from the hills and mountains, looting, pillaging and burning. Where the Brenin's knights and foot soldiers could always take on a few of the beasts, especially backed up by a champion or cleric or wizard, now they cannot against the greater numbers. The rangers report that more are organizing.

The Brenin, Owen I, has sent a plea across his land and messengers to the surrounding countries in Oerik, and as far as the great city of Greyhawk, asking for the help of great heroes, and offering whatever prize they may wish that he may give, if they can stop the depredations of the giants.
