Okay, so there's a small 10th level party fortifying a motte and bailey fortress against a winter attack of Frost Giants. They've got all Autumn to prepare, a local servant population of about 100, and collectively about 10k gold to spend. Not possible to preemptive attack for whole heap of reasons.
Frost Giant numbers are uncertain but could be 10-20, and they stand like 18' tall. Their leader is smart and also commands some Ogres and Ogrillons.
(Party is already negotiating with a neighbouring Orc tribe to dissuade them joining the giants, a young adult Silver Dragon backing this up.)
Back to the fort, what non-magical defences could they prepare?
