Following scouting by the Dwarves of Blanan, [[Pavo]] calls together Voyager after several months apart to investigate a large fortification full of Fire Giants.  These particular fire giants are remarkably well drilled, marching a watch, holding large bells to warn of attack, and bolstered by Hill Giant 'archers' on the parapets.

The major combatants are several Fire Giant soldiers, a Fire Giant Captain (enlarged by the Fire Giant Wizard), the Fire Giant Wizard, and a Fire Giant Blackguard, who challenges [[Pavo]] to a one-on-one fight, and surrenders before being killed.  The party have middling success against the giants, while [[Pavo]] cuts through them like a chainsaw through warm butter, as is his specialty.

Interrogation of the Blackguard suggests that several of the giant races are working together, and in military style, led by figures he does not know.  He has reported to a Stone Giant 'Colonel' for reports, etc.  In the scrum, the Fire Giant Wizard escapes with two Red Dragon Eggs, the purpose of which is unknown.

The survivors are led to Blanan for questioning and Dwarvish Justice.
