Editing Garland's Garrotes (section)

===Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl===
The band arrived in the midst of a blizzard, and hurried to find shelter. In a nearby cave they discovered a [[dragonborn]] [[fighter]] named [[Valmyze]], who was herself recovering after her entire party had been slain by the frost giants. When she asked who they were, they deliberated for a few minutes before deciding to call themselves Garland's Garrotes after all of the giants the half-orc had dispatched. While the party waited out the blizzard, Dawn Breeze cast a spell to awaken the cave bear she had charmed away from the hill giants. The bear agreed to continue as her companion, and said that her name was [[Sasha]].

The next morning, with the blizzard abated, they descended into the frost giants' rift. They kept mostly to the side caverns rather than moving straight through the center, with Garland continuing to stealthily assassinate many of the giants they happened upon, until they found a tunnel descending down into a lower level. A wrong turn, however, took them into the lair of a pair of young white dragons, though they ultimately slew the creatures. As they tended to their wounds, Dawn Breeze skinned one of them to make a coat of dragonscale armor for Sasha. Changing direction, they found a large group of frost giants and a mysterious [[shai]] man who seemed to be familiar with Ru Bae Ya and wielded powerful magic. When the heroes slew the giants, the man promised he would see her again and teleported himself away.

Beyond, they found a cave that had been converted into a crude prison where the giants had captured a storm giant. She told them her name was [[Grimhildr]], daughter of a powerful storm giant chieftain, and was sent by her father as an emissary but imprisoned when she did not agree to join them in their raids against Northeron. She offered to help them fight the frost giants, but when Garland moved to free her, Zook stopped him; having spent much of his life hunting giants of all kinds, he refused to work with one now, even against a mutual foe. When his companions stood unanimously in favor of accepting Grimhildr's aid, Zook angrily quit the party and announced he would find his own way out; Valmyze decided to join him.

Despite their departure, the others freed Grimhildr, and after arming herself from a slain frost giant the storm giant directed them straight to the frost giant jarl's cavern. They were in little mood for negotiation, and attacked as soon as they entered his cave. Despite the battle being joined by the jarl's wife, their two winter wolves, and a host of guards, Karriss slew the jarl with Waythe and Garland's Garrotes emerged triumphant. After plundering the frost giants' treasury, they discovered a map pointing to the fire giant fortress known as the [[Halls of Asar]] east of [[Orodeth]]. Though Karriss knew that their king had been slain many years ago, it seemed clear that a new ruler must be directing them now. Finding another magical item providing teleportation, they said a quick word of prayer for Zook and Valmyze before transporting themselves once more.
