[QUOTE="akr71, post: 7134241, member: 6801213"] I think the 'reason' was cut from the final version of RoT, but you can buy it from the DM's Guild - Frozen Castle. [url]http://www.dmsguild.com/product/172527/Frozen-Castle--Expanding-Tyranny-of-Dragons?term=frozen&test_epoch=0[/url] Don't forget, that while the party may befriend the cloud giant, he is still a [I]NE cloud giant[/I]. He may not be hostile toward the group, but definitely believes he knows better than a bunch of small folk. He probably [I]does[/I] consider the wealth inside the castle to be his - it is his castle after all... though he would be more attracted to gems and magic than coins. I would play it that the cloud giant is 'letting them live' while he heads north to consider his - and all of giant-kind's - next move. Do they join the war against the dragons? How best to mobilize a scattered people? If the party does not want to head to the Spine of the World, the best case scenario is to convince the giant to drop them off somewhere - hopefully stuffing their pockets and backpacks with as much loot as possible while he isn't looking. Oh, and if you find the treasure lackluster, change it. [/QUOTE]
