Month 3, Year 2:

We can use one week of labor in the end of the month as spring begins. But the snow is still around and we can’t work that week.

Dominion News – Bergholm is +20% growth, and the others just +5% each as Spring begins, -6 families in Storn as Frost Giants raid a few people.

A band of Frost Giants were left behind as the winter thawed, and a few made it into the Ljallenfals. They have begun to raid folks.

The most recent raids have them coming from nearby Storn. Alzar teleports over and begins to search. His tabi, Ak’Kadar finds some tracks, and Alzar follows them to the trail along a mountain and some rock hills. The terrain here climbs steeply, and there appear to be no signs of human habitation. Suddenly, the heavy footfalls shake the ground and gasping breathes come from rocks to the east. They draw closer. Alzar conjures an Elemental.

The4 giants round the bend with mouths hanging open in desperate gasps for breath, looks of crazed fear on their faces, and they look behind them furtively. The Earth Elemental is in their path.

Alzar’s axe is out too, uses his Zoster, and he flies down to challenge the fleeing giants.

Init – 3 vs 9. Alzar clashes and needs just a 2 to hit these dorks with axe and a 3 with his shield. He smashes the first one dead. But it was already wounded. The Elemental misses. The other three pause, and then lash out at Alzar. They miss. (Cloak of Displacement, as a reminder, is a cloak he now wears)

6 vs 3. They smash him once for 4d8 damage and roll and get…19 damage. He carves one three times for 16, 16, and 12 damage – 44 total damage 13 left. The Elemental punches and slays it. Two left.

Alzar 55/74

The remaining two giants begin to flee. Alzar casts Polymorph Other and turns one into a turtle. Then he casts Power Word Kill and drops the other (no save on that one)
