But he's different than the other cloud giants because he has different clothes. So we should trust him?Like here's a floating tower, but it's not a castle. So we should trust him?Like here's a cloud giant, and we should just be cool with that and not try to run away because we're 3rd level.You could pick anything else - likely literally anything in the wide assortment of creatures in D&D canon - and you choose something so near to the villain of the adventure to make the entire campaign hinge upon it. It's a foolish idea.Do you know what would've been better? An awakened owlbear. A treant. A lizardfolk reincarnated as a rust monster.</blockquote>
