Oerth's greatest shaman, BlackRobe, is approached by an emissary from Blackmoor. The kingdom's coastal towns are all being sacked by frost giants. In exchange for BlackRobe's help thwarting these murderous invasions, Blackmoor will intercede on the side of the Flan against the other Oerdian armies in the "Elf-Flan War" in the north, coordinating such efforts with Prince Garlok of Amberwood, a colonel in Furyondy's army. Naturally, BlackRobe accepts the offer and gathers a party.
Answering BlackRobe's call are his Baron, Moorak Drake, accompanied by his fire drake, Akira, the brass dragon, Tycho, and the red dragoness, Feyrath. Moorak immediately taps the Commander of Amberwood's armies, the half-orc, Artec Artlen, The Archer, to help as well as Sul abSil. The Baron also asks the elven ranger/priest, Wynd, for help and he brings his cooshee scion, Thundr, as well as Moorak's high priestess, Rhanée StrongArm, who brings the copper dragon, Zauloman with her. Rhanée in turn asks Joe StrongArm the transmuter for his help. Rhanée uses her magical mirror to bring the party to Mosshold where they party prepares for the assault. It comes on a dark, stormy, and moonless night...
Eight frost giant long ships row into harbor. With invisible Tycho and Feyrath as aerial scouts, the party learns of the assault with nearly five minutes to spare. Wynd and BlackRobe call lightning from the storm, scuttling one of the long ships immediately. That's when the scrag leap from the sea, though they are very quickly put down, with one falling back into the sea. The long ships continue toward the coast. Artec lays down a withering fire of arrows and Rhanée animates one of the ship's rudders to "steer away from shore," preventing one ship from joining the fray. Meanwhile, Tycho slays a very young white dragon assisting the giants and Moorak slays an ancient crystal dragon, leaving the combat to bath in the dragon's blood. His draconic allies, however, fight on.
Boulders begin raining on the shore while two ships slam into the docks, disgorging giants and ogres. Blinded by the crystal dragon, Rhanée is saved by Joe, who transmutes beholder eyes onto the witch. He then [i[]growths[/i] himself after having already cast giant strength and using his giant magic sword, Joe begins mowing down giants. Thundr and Feyrath also receive the growth and wreck havoc as well. Sul nearly dies, but Artec and Wynd save him. Slowly, the heroes turn the tide slaughtering the giants.
The ship with the animated rudder tears out the bespelled part and tries to flee, but Artec's arrows along with more of Wynd's lightning finish them off...
