Several hundred feet ahead, the cloud ends, and another is here. Sitting on it, her legs swaying in the void below, is a giantess, waving at the party’s ship., and she calls for help. She is a cloud giantess.

Alzar has two longboats head over to her and bring her in. She is Kenatha and was sleeping on the edge of her homeland when the cloud broke away and moved down the void. Alzar agrees to tow her back home. She begins to blow some wind into the sails that can work to gently push the correct direction. Alzar heads to the land of clouds, off the wake, and lands with her and the two head up…

Several hundred yards away from the ships, Alzar follows Kenatha as she steps onto a huge stairway that heads down into the clouds. Thunderous voices cry out her name, as she arrives and she walks to the head table of an older one wearing a crown, and he raises his hand and asks for silence, and she introduces Alzar

He grabs a fork and throws it at Alzar! It misses. The giants do not listen to Kenatha, and they refuse to heed her. They move in, ready to attack . And these are gargantuan giants, about 5 times larger than normal.

Alzar makes his Spellcraft prof, and something is off. But they are too big for Charm or Mass Charm. What about Dispel? He casts the priest Dispel Magic at one and her battle frenzy drops and she moves to flank Kenatha. Alzar Dispels another, but there are 10 giants here, and he’ll be out of Dispels soon. He tries the Disjunction, and it works, and his final Dispel is spent works too. 5 giants freed. That evens the numbers.

He is forced to slay two giants, two more are killed, and the king is captured by other freed giants. They hold him here, and Kenatha grabs some treasure from his pocket and gives it to him:

10000 pp
+5 Short Sword
Staff of Harming
Large Flying Carpet
+4 throwing hatchet
