The heroes (Taarna, Rhom, Wynd with Thundr, Saanau, Brock, Esmerelda with Drusilla, Tolus, and Moonlight) set out to find the hill giants in the Bloodstone Valley. The first day's tracking is fruitless, but in the middle of the second day, the heroes find the giants...of the jotuns find them! After a fierce battle, all ten of the hill giants lay dead, though they have relatively little treasure and proved particularly formidable. The heroes then start tracking the giants back to their lair more than an hour away where they find and slaughter two female hill giants and all but two of their dire wolf pets. The heroes spend the night in the giants' lair.
In the morning, the trackers begin hunting for the dragon. The first day narrows down the dragons' location and on the second day, the heroes attack the dragons' cavern. One of the largest blue dragons ever seen flies out and unleashes lightning bolts on the heroes. Tolus is almost instantly slain, though Wynd has no problem thanks to his protection from lightning spell. With this massive adult are a pair of hatchlings, one of which tries to finish off Sanauu. Thundr charges to the elven wizardess' rescue and together they slain the baby. The adult is pissed and continues to strafe the heroes until a lucky shot from Rhom's magical hammer nearly removes its wing. The dragon nearly crash lands and turns to square off with the heroes. While resistant to its breath weapon, Wynd is not match for the creature's claws and bite. He barely manages to escape as Taarna moves in to attack. Brock, meanwhile, is quickly smashed to a pulp by the dragon's tail; Esmerelda narrowly manages to save him and only after getting hammered herself.
The dragon seriously wounds Taarna, but with support from Rhom, the ranger hacks down the venerable dragon and bathes in its blood, gaining resistance to injury and lightning. She also eats the creature's heart gaining dragon-like endurance and stamina. The heroes start going through the treasure as the sun begins to set on the southern edge of Bloodstone Valley...
