It is only through the combined use of the Heroes extraordinary skills that this mission might be accomplished. The characters are initially drawn to the small village by letters sent far and wide begging for help. The military is far away and hiding behind their walls in Fornost or on expeditions in lands far away, they are not willing to send forces for a small village that has no military or resource significance. As the Band of Heroes delve deeper, they find out there is not one giant to worry about, but THREE! Each with distinctive characteristics and dangers. This will lead the party farther north and east into increasingly perilous lands at the feet of the northern track of the Misty Mountains, and dangerously close to Angmar.
