I think you drastically overestimate how easy it is for people to respond to a situation of this type effectively. A few of your villagers might do so, but I don't think they would mount an effective resistance. Not before the giant had a few rounds to run rampant and then exit stage right. Experience a few real crisis emergency situations, you will find out for yourself. Even experienced military units which are well-armed and have trained extensively, and are encamped well have repeatedly throughout history melted instantly and offered no effective resistance in cases of surprise attacks, even from greatly inferior forces. An ordinary village suddenly assaulted by a rampaging giant? Yeah, there's a decent chance they can drive it off, but I'd give 50/50 odds that the villagers end up sleeping in the woods and coming back in the morning to see what's left. Anyway, clearly only a rather silly giant would attack on its own, but that's a whole other discussion...</p></blockquote><p></p>
