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 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.
