Debrief

The party travel via boat to the island on which Tolbi lies. They make there way from the Port to meet their contact, Lady Asha Vane; a local representative of the Wayfinders Guild, Matteus de Pardieux, and a builder priest, Clovis Brinkham. Lady Vane explains that the town has been under attack by giant humanoids, who have assailed the city walls from the flux. The church of the Builder has fortified the town's defenses for now but they would like to know where the threat has come from. She also suggests they speak to the legendary “giant-slayer” Frilo Haas. Before they leave there is an almighty crash and giants start pouring in to the town. The party fight the monstrous creatures off, as Clovis rushes to repair the damaged walls.

The party find Frilo in a pub called the Hammer. It takes very little persuasion for him to reveal that the giant he killed all those years ago was living amongst a group of exiles in the hills outside the city. The party head off to track down the exiles and on their way are attacked by giants. They also discover the town's guilty secret, that it has been casting out its undesirables rather than dealing with them. This is highlighted when they come across a group of farmers that have been mostly wiped out by the giants. Although ostensibly they were sent out to set up farms in the flux, the survivor claims that the real reason was the town simply did not have enough food for them after the Upheaval and they were sent out to die.

The party finally find the Outcasts, who are being attacked by giants, due to a mad Wayfinder having gotten hold of the bones of the original giant. Once the giants have been defeated and the Wayfinder captured the party talk to the Outcasts. They tell them that the original “so-called” giant was just a child, who although large for his age was basically harmless. His mother had been cast out the two for being pregnant outside wedlock. A group of adventurers came and killed the poor boy, claiming that he had been responsible for the deaths of some livestock.
