If the Rogue is hesitant to scout, your Druid might be able to sneak around as a mouse. If your DM sees that as a chance to smash the Druid for going off alone, there might be a bigger issue. If not, you just need to be careful.Most important though, talk to your DM. Campaign feel is a big part of things like this. If he wants to run a Gritty realistic game, where surviving a fight against a single giant is unlikely, that may explain some the deadly bits he is throwing at you. If you do not want such a campaign, the only thing to do is talk it out.</blockquote>
