Next time, G2, our campaign - bring back cloud giant

Aug. 3rd: Sill on Module G2.  Have a drow priestess resurrect the cloud giant.  She uses a scroll made by higher level drow maybe. 

Does the cloud giant have better abilities now? Is he slightly undead?

Does the kid see this happen? Where is the body? 

Artist appears to be E.L.M from 2015. Found on https://ar.inspiredpencil.com/pictures-2023/frost-giant

Today is Monday, August 4th, 2025. 

• Use these special Frost Giant alt stats, eh? Looks good: https://www.emptyhexes.com/monster-mondays/frost-giants
• Dnd Beyond 5.5e frost giant, has +2 init. Has 149 hp. CON save is +8. Has alternative cold dmg on axe or bow (basically 50% of dmg would be cold dmg that barb cant resist).  https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/mm-2024/monsters-f#FrostGiant
• Maybe ideas special Frost Giant (via Level Up), but be careful: https://a5e.tools/node/1638

Combat

The frost giant prefers melee, using its battleaxe and grabbing or stomping when it can. The frost giant only flees if it takes fire damage while it is bloodied .

Names

Kelug the Grim, Skaggi the Wanderer, Snowbeard, Vala Chillborn, Bitterblade, Eitri,

OK, well before the resurrected cloud giant could even show up, the kid found the Jarl and the next door about 20 frost giants. Of the 20, about 9 male and 11 female,... I'm thinking only half of the females fight so it could be a like a 15-17 monster fight.  

How to make this fun and interesting? Giants aren't exactly super interesting at this point, been fighting almost nothing but giants for irl weeks now. 

• Just as a clue, I had some fungus spores on the throne, barely noticeable, but drew attention to some runs written on it. Hint that it was drow writing. 
• What's it for? 
• Teleport location for drow?
• Helpful magic for giants by drow? 
• I did enjoy having things to do with the ogre mages. Spells are always fun, yep. 
• The weighted net from frost giants isn't super fun/great so far. If it misses it is a huge waste. If it hits the barb, he has adv on getting free, btw. And I kind of worry that if it works too well, it'll get the party nuked... b/c having multiple giants with adv on hit is bad news, high dmg. 
• Does the Jarl know this party of tiny people nuked his whole frost giant army so far? 
• Where did the ice toads go? Never got to run them ... .... They are hungry now. I thought there were more downstairs here. 
• Kid skipped the polar bears for now. Left the women and children alone in room 16(?). Killed the one male guard. 
• Kid got the crazy horn of valhala, d100 roll (i let him do it) and he got the lowest 5e option, something like 2d4+2 beserker spirits to help out once every 7 days. 
• He's been using a ton of healing potions, probably half which he'd been saving forever. So might have 10 left. We started doing the "you can use bonus action heal potion" b/c otherwise he'd never use 'em. 

Aug. 5th thoughts

• NEED to use LevelUp's Remorhaz, man it is so much cooler. So I need to get the Remorhaz back. Was it playing dead the whole time? Can't remember how it was killed, ... was something major cuz spat back the barbarian. 
• LevelUp's Remorhazes do 
• play dead when almost dead
• spits guys up when about to play dead
• Constrict (grapple) + heat dmg x 3 characters, when fighting they can
• The remorhaz ambushes prey, biting and then constricting. It bites and swallows a constricted creature whenever possible. When reduced to 30 hit points or fewer, it releases any creatures it is constricting and plays dead.
• Later when FireGiants advance behind shields...
• Make it so they have nearly FULL cover (only feet, so Magic Missile wand good... oh careful, Spell-Sniper, Warlock ignores 3/4 but not 80%, 90% cover, etc.)
• But if you go around the side, they only have half cover or whatever.
