" While we could return to Easthaven, that might also be the first place they would look for us after our feats there. It might be better to go to another of the ten towns. Perhaps we can do a little research. See if anyone knows how these zhentarim agents work and what they are up to."
The adventurers leave east towards Lonelywood, traveling along lake Maer Dualdon. They do not appear to be followed. After 2-3 hours, the town of Termalaine is seen in the distance. Suddenly, through the snowy haze, the heroes come to face with a Frost Giant riding a mammoth!
Roc recalls that frost giants sometimes come from the Spine of the World mountains to hunt for wild game on the tundra or on the shores of the Sea of moving Ice. They are known to be ferocious fighters that fancy battle and treasure. They have many enemies, such as great white dragons. They speak Giant.
Previously, the party had encountered a reanimated frost giant skeleton in the cauldron caves of Easthaven.
" a23, giants are generally unfriendly. I'm sorry. It probably would have been best to not approach." He readies his shield and summons Spiritual Weapon and casts thaumaturgy
" Please oh great giant, we have nothing of value to take, and battle with us will make for no great tale to your kin. We have no names. "
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The giant looks to Lumen, whose voice is booming loud enough for it to hear. "Dun mynt gi dun liv..." it starts to say in Giant, before suddenly taking two arrows from Roc! (96 damage) Taking his cue, a23 enters melee range, slashing at the giant twice for 18 damage!
The Frost Giant has taken 113 damage total. It roars in pain from the sudden assault, retaliating immediately at the closest target with its spear.

"I haven't been to Lonelywood in a very long time. Maybe we could hide out there for a bit."
“sounds like the optimal destination. we may want to avoid major roads if you are familiar with alternate routes”
Errona nods.

" We cannot seem to catch a break can we?"
a23 greets the giant with a friendly wave
”hello. would you or your mammoth friend care for a snack”
he rummages through his bag until finally presenting the giant with a handful of old bacon
The bacon is too small for the giant to see. 🥓
He readies his weapon.
"Well... Maybe we can make friends with the mammoth after."
Roc draws his bow and begins to backup until the Frost Giant starts to be hard to see due to the snow.
