(We’ll do the dominion stuff later, post giants)

On the 3rd, Alzar’s strike team again uses his full items and hits the front giant group, and forewarned, they turn back more quickly.

On the 5th, a third group has routed.

The remaining 7 groups on the eastern flank hold up a few days and gather their forces, and then head out as one big force, 700 strong.

By the10th, two raiding parties on the western flank have arrived at the two hexes of Morkheim. Alak Dool didn’t emerge from his dominion to face them, but he won’t let them in, and himself a pair of apprentice wizards, and a variety of charmed creatures begin to attack, supplemented by his armed forces, and in a few days, both raiding parties are routed, turning the west flank into 7 groups as well.

On the 15th, the first giant party arrives at the northmost Halfling freehold – Port Hinly, and they begin assaulting it. The Great Bay is almost completely frozen.

By the 20th, Alzar hits the large 700 strong group and takes out 18 giants with his forces.

On the 23rd, the forces Alzar are fighting turn south about 30 miles from the Ljallenvals, apparently not really wanting to cross and then run into Alzar and his forces. By now they are down to 651 giants.

25th – The eastern army begins to cross the Great Bay

The 26th – the barony of Lalmetaure, in the forests south of Morkheim, the elf Baron Quillan has turned back and routed another of the giant raiding parties.

The 29th – The groups on the western flank move to create one army as well, and 425 giants are left in this one.

By the end of the month, the troop count is:

West Army – 425
East Army – 617
