 TO THE HEIGHTS!
High in the long dormant volcanic mountains above the town of Gentsfoot, there is a long
abandoned temple dedicated to a legendary giant hero Stormwind, also known as the Sky Giant,
who is said to have once ruled the area. The gnome scholar of Gentsfoot, Sera, has been
studying the relics and lore surrounding Stormwind and his temple for decades. To ascend the
mountain and study the ruins themselves is a task beyond her skills, so she has never been able
to study the ruins up close. And now, with no warning, the volcano has become active once
again, threatening to destroy whatever might remain of the Temple of the Sky Giant. Therefore,

Otherwise, the interior of the cave is empty
except for the skeleton of a previous
adventurer. Players who investigate the
skeleton with a Perception check of 13 can
discover a discarded pouch containing 6gp.
If a player examines the skeleton for signs of
how the adventurer died, a DC 15 Nature or

on the bones. These are the marks of a
mountain lion attack, which can be revealed
if the check used to examine the skeleton is
17 or higher.
Once the party makes it to the top of the
cliff, they continue along the path for a short
time before coming to a section of the path
where another cliff rises above them to their
right. On top of the ledge are four mountain
lions. If the party are not using Stealth, the
mountain lions notice them and the first one
uses its Pounce ability, targeting the player
who is first in marching order. If the players
take time to examine the area before passing
through, a DC 14 Nature check reveals
evidence of mountain lions nearby. In that
case, the mountain lions leap from the cliff
face and snarl at the party, prompting an
Initiative roll.

RIDDLES AT THE BRIDGE
The party continues on for some time
before they come to a wide stone bridge that
crosses a large chasm, extending about 30
feet across. The bridge is blocked by a
locked gate. As they approach the bridge, a
frail, emaciated female gnome steps out
from behind a nearby rock outcropping. She
greets the party with the following:
Well, well, what a day! Not just one visitor, but
two! And one of them a whole group! Maybe
you all will prove more accommodating than
that other fellow, though, eh?
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
A Gnome Lore, Medicine, or Nature check
to Recall Knowledge reveals that this
gnomish woman is well into the Bleaching
(Core Rulebook 42). The players can learn
this by conversing with her for the next
several minutes, but she was cursed by Jotun
priests for dropping the original shrine to
Stormwind’s mother into the chasm beneath
the bridge, requiring a new one to be forged
and sanctified. She must guard the bridge
and she can never leave it nor cross it. If she
attempts to do so, she simply finds herself
back on this side of it. Nor can she kill
herself – she’s tried to leap into the chasm,
only to find that she appears once more on
this side of the bridge. The terms of the
curse were that she must guard it “until the
bridge should fall”. As a result, she has
spent the intervening centuries since the
abandonment of the temple with a lack of
the new experiences and stimulation that
gnomes need to avoid the Bleaching.
Consequently, she is overly eager for
anything new or different, and she won’t
open the gate for the party unless they
satisfy her desire for new and different
experiences.
If the party asks about “that other fellow”,
she responds that a black-robed figure
passed through earlier, heading to the
temple. She wanted to engage him in
conversation or some other form of
entertainment, just as she now does the
party, but he simply ignored her and
teleported to the other side of the chasm.
If the party asks who she is or what she’s
doing here, she tells them her name, Gerdie
Griffleferth, and begins explaining the
history given above, rapidly and excitedly. If
the party allows her to finish, they’ll earn 1
reputation point (RP) and she then asks them
to do something to “liven things up around
here”. The party will need to earn 5 RP for
Gerdie to open the gate and allow them to
cross.
 Give the party some time to come up with
ideas. If the party does not come up with
ideas on their own, Gerdie offers the
following suggestions, each of which earns
RP for the party, 1 on a success, or 2 on a
critical success:
1. “Let’s have a song (or dance, etc)!”
Performance DC 13.
2. “Can anyone, er…(looks around) lift
this log?” Athletics DC 12 (any feat of
strength you determine may be used
instead).
3. “Can anybody do a backflip or
something like that?” Acrobatics DC
12 to balance, flip, or otherwise
perform a dexterous feat.
4. “Tell me the news – any news!”
Society DC 10 to share recent history
or cultural information.
5. “What about a coin trick?” Thievery or
Deception DC 13.
If the party attempts Intimidation or
Diplomacy DC 15 to try and convince her
that their mission is urgent or otherwise to
pass sooner, they earn another 1 RP and
Gerdie requests that they tell her more about
it all. If anyone takes 10 minutes to explain
their mission, Gerdie gets excited, and the
party earns an additional 1 RP.
Once the party accrues 4 RP, any
Diplomacy, Intimidation or Deception check
of DC 10 convinces Gerdie to open the
gate, earning the final Reputation Point
needed.
If the party has not earned at least 4 RP
between their own ideas and Gerdie’s
suggestions, she offers one final suggestion:
a riddle contest.
If the party agrees to the riddle contest,
you may choose from among the following
options at your discretion or by rolling 1d4
and using the riddle associated with that
number below:
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
1. What flows when red, but is still when
black? Answer: lava.
2. What is lost when found and found
when lost? Answer: Time or a memory.
3. When it falls, earth rises. Answer:
lava/volcanic spew.
4. Taller than the mountain, lower than the
sky. What am I? Answer: a cloud.
Once the party has accrued 5 RP, Gerdie
claps her hands in delight and declares that
this was the most fun she’s had in a long
time! She then cheerfully pulls the gate key,
which hangs on a necklace, from her tunic.
She opens the gate and allows the party
through. As the party passes, she asks them
to come back and report how everything
went on their way out. “You will come back
and tell me everything, won’t you? It’ll be a
fine tale, I’m sure!”
THE TEMPLE OF THE SKY GIANT
As the party approaches the Temple, read
the following out loud:
The Temple of the Sky Giant juts out from the
rock of the mountain, the stone that forms its
walls carved right out of the mountain itself by
mighty hands. The doorway is 50 feet tall and 30
feet wide. Near the rear of the structure, a large
cylindrical tower rises 40 feet into the air above
the rest of the building. Two large wooden doors
flanked by statues of gigantic humanoid figures
mark the entrance to the temple before you.
THE TEMPLE DOORS
The first challenge facing the party upon
arrival at the temple is simply opening the
doors. They do not yield to a simple push.
An Athletics check of 16 can push one open
just enough for the party to squeeze through
one at a time. A DC 13 Perception, Crafting,
or Architecture Lore check reveals that the
top hinge of the right-side door is heavily
damaged and destroying it with ranged
attacks results in the rest of the door
crashing to the ground. The door hinge has 5
Hardness and only 10 HP. It has already
reached its broken threshold.
A1. THE ENTRANCE HALL
You enter a wide entrance hall, dominated by a
5 foot tall dais with a 25 foot tall statue of a
gigantic figure brandishing a club. There are
three doors visible. One on each wall, both left
and right, and one on the rear wall beyond the
dais.
An appropriate Recall Knowledge check
(DC 13) reveals that this is indeed, a
representation of Stormwind himself. Any
examination of the dais reveals three
roughly circular insets on its side,
suggesting that something is meant to be
placed there.
Examining the room around the statue
reveals a series of bas-reliefs depicting
scenes in the life of Stormwind. Some have
captions that are still legible, although they
are written in Jotun. A character who can
read Jotun can translate, otherwise a player
may be able to read the Jotun words but will
not understand them. Descriptions of the bas
reliefs and visible captions in both Common
and Jotun are found in the Adventure
Toolbox at the end of this book.
A2. THE SPIDER’S DEN
The left door leads into a dimly lit room covered
in large spider webs. There is another door in the
wall to the right, but it is blocked by the webs.
The webs can be cleared by burning them
with torches, fire based spells or other items,
or simply attacking them. The statistics of
the webs can be found in the description of
the Web spell (Core Rulebook 384). When a
character touches one of the webs, a Hunting
Spider descends from the ceiling and
attacks.
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
HUNTING SPIDER CREATURE 1
Bestiary 306
Initiative Percception +7
If a character enters the same square as one
of the webs, they must make a DC 14 Reflex
save or be caught in the webs. They can
attempt a DC 15 Athletics check to escape at
the beginning of each of their turns. Once
the players defeat the spiders and clear the
webs, they can enter the room to the north.
A3. THE STUDY
The door opens into an abandoned study. There
are shelving units filled with alchemical
ingredients and tattered, crumbling scrolls lining
the walls. A table with tattered, illegible papers
scattered across it and a candlestand sits in the
middle of the room.
Investigating the table reveals that the
candlestand has been used somewhat
recently, and a small, unlocked chest
underneath the table, containing a red gem
just the right size to fit one of the insets in
the dais.
Investigating the shelves with a DC 15
Perception check reveals two minor healing
potions and either a scroll with the
alchemical formula for Leaper’s Elixir, or a
vial with the same elixir already prepared,
depending on whether anyone in the party
can craft the elixir or not. These items
should be useful for traversing the giant-
sized stairs to the tower. If the party has
already ascended to the tower, feel free to
substitute this with a more helpful item as
you see fit.
Investigating the opposite shelving unit
with the same Perception check reveals a
note that reads:
The sun in the sky shines on the grass. This
is the proper order of things.
If the players fail to deduce this, you can
provide them with hints that the three gems
found throughout the temple should be
placed in the order of red (sun), blue (sky),
and green (grass). For instance, you may
point out that sun is written in red letters,
sky in blue, and grass in green.
A4. THE EMPTY ROOM
Upon opening the door to the right of the
Entrance Hall, a cloud of noxious gas
emerges. Players must make a Basic
Fortitude Save DC 12 or take 1d4 poison
damage. Once they enter the room, read the
following:
This door opens into a largely empty room,
unusually warm due to heat emanating from
another door to the left. A pile of humanoid
bones lies in front of another chest.
This chest is locked and requires DC 20
Thievery to Pick the Lock. If the chest is
successfully opened, another gem of the
right size and shape to fit into the dais, blue
this time, lies inside. The chest can also be
bashed open, using the statistics for the
wood material (Gamemastery Guide 577).
Otherwise, the players will have to recover
the key from the next room. The skeleton
and the lack of other obvious challenges
may make the players suspicious. Feel free
to encourage their suspicions, but there is in
fact no other danger to contend with, unless
the rumblings of the volcano have released
more toxic gas, as detailed under ‘Active
Volcano’ above.
A5. THE FORGE
In this room, a crater filled with lava in the
middle of the room appears to have served as a
forge. An iron wrought crane and pulley system
seems to have been used to lower items into the
crater and lift them out once heated enough to be
pliable. A large iron chain is still wrapped
around the central beam, one end dangling
above the crater, the other end wrapped in a pile
to the right of the door which the players
entered. There is also a large vat of water that
would have been used to cool the heated metal.
On the other side of the room a table can be

seen, with a few glinting materials on it.
However, several active lava flows meander
through the room, cutting off access to the other
side of the room.
With a Perception check of 13, a character
will notice that one of the glinting items
appears to be a small key. To collect the
key, players have a few options. They can
simply traverse the room using the Long
Jump action over the lava flow – there is
enough space to get the initial stride
necessary. They may use Crafting (DC 16)
or Engineering Lore to devise to lock the
pulley device so that a player can swing on
the chains with Athletics (DC 15). This can
be done by lodging any foreign object into
the pulley mechanism. Finally, in addition to
any viable solutions the players come up
with on their own, they may use Thievery or
Athletics (DC 17) to release the vat of water
from its morrings and spill water on the lava
to cool it. This can also be accomplished by
simply breaking the vat (see Wooden
Structure statistics, Gamemastery Guide
577). In this case, the lava takes 10 minutes
to cool enough to climb across. If the
players succeed in reaching the other side of
the room, the key can be used to open the
chest in the previous room and claim
another gem to insert into the dais.
A6. THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE
The door beyond the statue leads to a spiraling
stone staircase that climbs some 100 feet up. In
the far corner of the room a pile of broken
scaffolding lies beneath the stairs. The stairs
themselves are an odd size, made for giant gaits,
rather than smaller humanoids. Approximately
halfway up the staircase, some of the stairs have
crumbled away, leaving a gap of about 8 feet
long and 3 feet high between the last usable step
and the next.
The stairs are made for giant-sized feet, and
so are built roughly 3 feet high each. Players
can climb the stairs at half speed until they
reach the gap caused by the crumbled stairs.
The width of previous steps is too narrow to
permit the Stride required for the Leap
action.
With a Crafting check of DC 13, a player
can use the scaffolding below to create a
ramp. With Perception 13, they can instead
find a wooden beam of sufficient strength
and length for someone trained in
Acrobatics to cross using the Balance action,
DC 15. With Perception DC 14 or
Architecture Lore DC 13, a player notices a
rope and pulley system hanging from the
ceiling about 50 feet above the gap. One end
of the rope is held in place by a bucket
sitting near the edge of the opening at the
top of the stairs. A single successful ranged
attack (AC 15) is enough to knock the
bucket over, freeing one end of the rope
which could then be climbed.
B1. THE TOWER
After climbing the spiral staircase, you find
yourself in a circular room dominated by a large
sepulcher against the opposite wall. Another,
smaller sarcophagus lies against the left wall,
with a statue of small dog atop it. On the right
side of the room is a small shrine, in which sits a
statuette of a female humanoid. The coffin is
carved with a bas relief of a giant, presumably
Stormwind himself, holding a scepter with a
gem incrusted in the top. And before the
sarcophagus, a hooded figure stands in the
middle of some sort of occultic circle, chanting
as he faces the sarcophagus.
As the adventurers enter, the hooded figure
turns and exclaims, “No, he’s not ready!”
Then he fires a bolt of arcane energy at the
small sarcophagus on the left side of the
room, and a dog-like creature emerges. The
mage disappears as Initiative is rolled.

Book of the Dead 142.
After this battle, a Perception check (DC 13)
to examine the statuette reveals features that
suggest it represents a female cloud giant. A
Religion, Society or Lore check (DC 16) to
Recall Knowledge allows a player to
hypothesize that the shrine is in honor of an
ancestral spirit. The exact inscription, in
Jotun and Common, is included in the
Adventure Toolbox below.
Combined with the inscription and the
depictions in the Entrance Hall below, this
should be enough for the players to piece
together that the shrine is in honor of
Stormwind’s mother, and that Stormwind
himself requested to be buried high in this
tower as a means of being close to her in
death.
Examining the recent ritual with a DC 15
Arcana, Occultism, or Religion check
reveals the remnants of a black onyx stone.
At DC 18, the player also realizes that the
ritual performed here was to Create Undead.
The gem in the staff is the right size and
shape to fit the insets in the dais. The gem
can be removed with Thievery, Crafting, or
Athletics 16. However, attempting to do so
results in the coffin rumbling and an undead
giant emerging therefrom! In any case,
removing or attempting to remove the gem
triggers an Undead Giant to rise.
At your discretion, the Undead Giant may
awaken to fight by the side of the Scorned
Hound. Otherwise, it awakens when players
attempt to remove the gem from the scepter.

THE STATUE
Once the party has all three gems, they
should return to the dais and put them into
the insets in the proper order (red, blue,
green). This results in a clicking noise, and
the statue rolling back along unseen tracks,
revealing a small compartment in which is
found a large tome entitled The Chronicle of
the Sky Giant. The tome is a detailed
chronicle of Stormwind’s reign over many
decades. It is written in Jotun, but a
character who can read Jotun can find one of
the details in the Adventure Toolbox below
for every minute they spend examining the
Chronicle.
If they spend more than five minutes
examining the Chronicle, the volcano
rumbles far more strongly than before,
triggering the events of the next section.
ESCAPE
After the party claims the Chronicle, the
volcano rumbles stronger than ever before
and begins to erupt. Players must escape the
Temple, treating the rumbling ground as
difficult terrain.
Once they are outside, the rumbling stops
but lava begins flowing in their direction.
Have the players roll Initiative and treat this
as an encounter. The lava flow begins 5 ft.
behind the party and moves 40 ft. per round,
unless you are applying the effect from the
“Active Volcano” sidebar above. If the lava
comes within 10 ft. of a player, they take
1d4 fire damage. If they do get caught in the
lava flow, they take massive fire damage.
Keep track of the distance traveled each
round by each player and by the lava. You
may choose to tell the players the distance
that the lava is behind them, or you may
simply note whether it is closer or farther
from them, as the encounter unfolds. During
each round, different events occur to slow
the players down, or speed the lava up, in
one case. These events are as follows:
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
Round 1: No event. Using all three
actions for movement, the characters should
be able to get at least 75 ft.
Round 2: Tremors strike, rendering the
ground difficult terrain.
Round 3: The players come to a slope that
is just steep enough to require the Climb or
Balance action, DC 18. The slope is just 10
ft high, so that with one climb or balance
action, and using the rest to Stride,
characters can make it a total of 60 ft. this
round.
Round 4: Now the characters encounter a
Landslide, which is Greater Difficult
Terrain. The lava flow reaches the slope,
which speeds it up to 45 ft. this round.
Round 5: A downed tree blocks the
characters’ path here. However, there are
openings between the branches permitting
them to Crawl through. Players will need to
use one action to Drop Prone, another to
Crawl 5 ft, and the last to move 25 ft. (or
their speed if different) for a total of 30 ft.
The lava has returned to even ground and its
speed of 40 ft. per round.
Round 6: At the start of this turn, roll 1d4.
A number of thermal vents equal to the
number rolled on the die open in the path of
the players, forcing any affected player to
use one action to make a Reflex save to
avoid the vents. If they fail their save, they
take 1d6 fire damage. You may use your
discretion to determine which players need
to dodge the vents, or you can go by
initiative order, the vents affecting the
character with highest initiative first, and so
on.
The bridge is 50 ft. away at the start of this
turn. Thus players can reach it with two
movement actions.
In the third round, the players encounter a
recent landslide blocking their path. The
landslide can be crossed but counts as
Greater Difficult Terrain, slowing their
progress and increasing the risk of the lava
catching up to them.
 Round 7: The lava pours into the chasm at
this point, melting the posts that held the
bridge, causing it to collapse into the depths.
However, if the characters make it this far,
they are safe.
Gerdie awaits the party here, and they can
tell her about their adventures in the Temple
if they wish. However, now that the bridge is
destroyed, the curse is broken, and she slowly
fades into an ethereal mist that is then carried
away on the wind. Whether they talk to Gerdie
or not, from here on the players can reach the
evacuation site of Gentsfoot and report to Sera
with no further incident.
CONCLUSION
The party returns to the site to which the
town of Gentsfoot has been evacuated, and
recounts their adventure to Sera. Sera will be
especially interested in their encounter with
Gerdie, if they tell her about it. They turn
over the Chronicle and other treasures
related to the giant to Sera, who is so
enthralled by the Chronicle that she
distractedly points to a pouch of 50gp on her
desk while she excitedly exclaims the details
found in the Chronicle (see above), allowing
the party to keep the rest of the treasures
they found.
Be sure to congratulate your players on a
successful adventure!
ADVENTURE TOOLBOX
OVERVIEW
The Giant Stormwind was a slave of the
runelords, the son of a Cloud Giant mother
whom he adored, and an unknown father.
His mother was the target of frequent abuse
at the hands of their captors, perhaps
because of her proud spirit, which endeared
her to Stormwind, even as he watched her

suffer for it. When she died, he revered her
as an ancestral spirit, fashioning a small
shrine that he carried with him wherever he
went.
After Earthfall, he fled Thassilon
with a few followers, eventually settling in
primarily human lands, harrying the
residents, demanding tribute, and so on. He
soon declared himself king of the region,
and was hailed as a hero by the giants. This
hero worship continued into his death, when
the Temple was constructed.
Stormwind’s dying request was that
he be interred as close to his mother as
possible, believing that she had returned to
the clouds from whence she came. Thus,
when the priests of Stormwind’s clan
encouraged worship of him as a folk hero
and desired to build a temple to him, they
elected to build it atop the high mountains
nearby.
SERA GRIFFLEFERTH
Sera began studying the history of the Sky
Giant chiefly in the hopes of learning the
fate of a long-last ancestor, whom the
players meet at the bridge – Gerdie!
However, through the years she has become
genuinely fascinated by Stormwind and his
story, and thus the Chronicle proves of even
more interest to her than the fate of her
ancestor. However, when the party reveals
Gerdie’s fate, she will be pleased to learn
why she disappeared in the first place, and
that she finally found peace.
THE INTERIOR OF THE TEMPLE
The following present additional details that
characters can uncover in their exploration
of the temple.
A1. THE ENTRANCE HALL
The following descriptions and captions can
be revealed to curious players. The
following are found on the right wall,
numbered R1-R3.
R1. A humanoid figure flees at the head of a
group of other similar figures.
Jotun: Stromwint flugt runahera lant.
Common: Stormwind flees the Runelords’ land.
R2. A group of large humanoid figures
engage in battle with a group of smaller
humanoids.
Jotun: Stromwint drept thar ma…
Common: Stormwind slays the…
3. A large humanoid figure sits on a throne
while other large figures stand at his side
and a few smaller figures bow before him.
Jotun: Stromwint sturt his riyk.
Common: Stormwind rules his kingdom.
On the opposite, left, wall, there are three
other bas-reliefs visible, but only one
caption legible.
L1. A large female humanoid figure cowers
before a smaller humanoid who appears to
be attacking her with magic, while a baby
humanoid appears to cry out nearby.
Jotun: An runaher mainmal Stromwintis mothir.
Common: A runelord abuses Stormwind’s
mother.
L2. The female humanoid walks hand-in-
hand with a toddler, her head held high
while other humanoids in the background
appear to sneer at her.
L3. The same female humanoid lies still on
a stone table, while a male humanoid bends
over her tearfully, clasping her hand in his.
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only .
The word deit ‘dies’ is legible in what
remains of the caption.
B1. THE TOWER
The sarcophagus bears the following
inscription in Jotun:
Jotun: In skiar wer ek lagt that nair at thi ek laig.
Common: In the clouds am I laid, that close to
thee I may lie.
THE CHRONICLE OF THE SKY GIANT
The following bits of information can be
gleaned by a player who spends time
reading the Chronicle of the Sky Giant, or
they can be shared by Sera as she excitedly
examines the book once the players turn it
over to her.
1. Stormwind was born a slave of the
Runelords of Thassilon, witnessing his
mother suffer great abuse at the hands of
their captors.
2. He was able to throw of their yoke and
escape with a band of fellow giants in
the wake of Earthfall.
3. Stormwind’s band of giants conquered
the region and Stormwind proclaimed
himself king of the region.
4. When Stormwind died, he was revered
as an ancestral hero by giants,
prompting a band of giant priests to
build the temple in his honor.
5. The construction of the temple was
delayed when a new statue for the shrine
of Stormwind’s mother, the Cloud Giant
Brunhilt, was lost to the incompetence
