The PCs enter a massive cave, where a band of Frost Giants awaits them. They persuade the giants to let them speak with the king. When Jarl Grugnur arrives, Broch challenges him to a duel. The jarl accepts, but when he understands Broch is more than he seems, he calls for the help of his minions.
Broch slaughters the king, and makes a covenant with the queen. She wants them to kill the Fire Giant King Snurre, an ally of her late husband. She thinks that an alliance with the Fire Giants is a dishonor, but she's reluctant to oppose Snurre openly. On the hunt for more giants, the PCs readily agree.
The queen guides them to a portal that will bring them to the lair of the Fire Giants. There they infiltrate the fortress with some deception, and then face the king and his guards. Summoning mighty magic, the PCs force the king to retreat to his treasure room, guarded by an Hydra.
The party defeats this guardian, and kill the king, but only after he had activated a magical horn to summon "the help of the Stormlords". The horn blows a mighty storm inside the lair, but also seems to act as a portal to somewhere else. With more Fire Giants coming their way, the PCs decide to try their luck, and enter the portal.
