Let's say you suddenly dumped 200,000 refugees on a D&D-esque city of 80,000 people. Would would be the results, and what sort of scenes might occur?

These giants have a constant electrical glow around them. They wear finely crafted metal armor when prepared for war, and favor large swords and fine jewelry. Combat: Storm giants use weapons and spell-like abilities instead of throwing rocks. Their composite longbows have a range increment of 180 feet. Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—call lightning (DC 17), chain lightning (DC 20).  2/day—control weather (used once), levitate. 3/day – fog cloud, gaseous form, sound burst.  Caster level 20th. The save DCs are Charisma-based. Breath Weapons: The giant can breath either a 100' long line (5' wide), a 50' long line (10' wide), or a 40’ (60’ with feat) cone of lightning once every 1d4 rounds.  Every creature caught in the cone must make a reflex save DC 36, or (DC 10 + ½ giant’s racial hit dice + giant’s con modifier) or take 20d6 electricity damage. A successful save halves the damage.Limited Freedom of Movement (Su): Storm giants have a continuous freedom of movement ability as the spell (caster level 20th). The effect can be dispelled, but the storm giant can create it again on its next turn as a free action. This ability does not affect grappling in any way, and is simply used to allow the giant to travel underwater and through solid clouds. This weird condition is definitely NOT because I forgot to use it when the Imperator got grappled, and just ret-conned the ability.  Nope.  No way, no how.Water Breathing (Ex):  Storm giants can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use their spell-like abilities while submerged. Skills: A storm giant has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. *Storm giants ignore all weight penalties for gear carried when swimming.</blockquote>
