The villagers said, "Great Heroes, please save us!" The PCs valiantly marched off to the Hill Giants, doing no recon, to discover some two dozen Hill Giants inside. They attacked, got their butts kicked, retreated straight back to the village, where the giants saw them go. Giants put two and two together, and razed the village to the ground, sacking burning, killing. The PCs hid out in root cellar in a basement until morning, and the sounds had stopped.They dig their way out to an early morning fog, burned timbers, stone rubble, scores of dead bodies... They healed up and left, not saying a word to anyone about the incident... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
