[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6056933, member: 42582"] [MENTION=20323]Quickleaf[/MENTION], I don't know the module other than by barest of reputation, so this post might be completely off-base. But I'm guessing the module involves a big red dragon at some point. So maybe the fire giant is the servant/ally of a big volcanic (catastrophic) dragon, trying to inflitrate/corrupt the kobolds to some anti-red-dragon agenda. Put in the requisite clues (maybe an azer or two, or a fire archon, or something) so the players can do something meaningful with the situation if they want to. As for the actual mechanics of a polymorphed fire giant, I would be wanting the fact that it's a fire giant to come out in the course of combat (otherwise what's the point?). So when it's bloodied the magic on it should be dispelled and it grows to Large size (pushing aside any creatures in the three new squares that it needs) - and that would probably also be a nice point for it to summon its volcanic dragon friend to deal with the pesky PCs. For extra colour, you could have the arrival of the dragon wipe some kobolds off the map, or cause them to panic, giving the PCs an opportunity to recruit/bully some into helping against the dragon and giant, or whatever makes sense given the backstory and your group.
