The Valley Giant always dwells in his
valley. This lair is an active farming
area.
The Valley Giant always has other creatures
in his lair to act as workers. These
workers are all less than four feet tall.
Their weapons are +1 hoes and magic
wheelbarrows which produce and hurl
1-10 giant corn kernels every three
rounds.
Unlike other giants, the Valley Giant
has spells unique to himself:
1: Sonic Boom — Upon utterance of
the words “Ho, ho, ho,” this spell causes
a victim to take 6-36 points of damage
and lose 1 point of INT.
2: Charm Undersized Being — Reduces
the victim’s intelligence and CHA
by 2 points each, and a stricken victim
will farm for the giant until dead.
3: Polymorph Sprite Farmer — This
spell affects beings over 4’2”, reducing
them to 3’6” and then acting as a Charm
Undersized Being.
4: Box — Enables the Giant to box
material up to 10,000 gp in weight. (It
takes 10 turns for a victim to escape
the
box, by which time he has been shipped
out of the valley by the spell described
below.)
5: Teleport Boxed Material — Up
to
1,000 meters distance, no chance of
error.
The Giant’s special treasure is 100 to
10,000 boxes of yellow vegetables, 200
to 20,000 boxes of little square orange
vegetables, 150 to 15,000 containers of
round green vegetables, and 250 to 25,000
boxes of all of the above combined.
Because he appears apparently from
nowhere, the Giant has a 99% chance of
surprise.
Description: The Valley Giant has
green skin, hair, and eyes. He wears a
shirt of leaves (AC -2) and has the unusual
habit of standing at all times with his
hands on his hips. The Valley Giant’s
one
weakness is that if someone asks, “What’s
new, Giant?” he will immediately filibuster
for ten minutes and can be easily attacked
during that time, <finish>
