The Mountain Giant, the One Who Does Not Run
Speak to him standing. Whatever makes itself small before him stops being someone.What he is. One of the few giants to live in a tribe, five metres tall, settled on the high slopes he holds as his own. He marks their limits with decorated stacks of stone, addressed to other giants alone, for the strength of a humanoid is not strength. His endurance never runs out, but his body burns slowly, so he spends nothing without return.
Appearance
You see it coming. A herd of mountain bison grazes a hundred metres off. An enormous whistling crosses the slope, the ground shakes under the stampede, and from the treeline a silhouette comes down unhurried to fetch its javelin, four metres of wood as thick as a roof beam, planted in a beast reddening the snow.The ambush. You are about to step in under the snow-laden trees. A whistling splits the air and bursts the branches as it passes. Out of the corner of your eye, something enormous is coming straight at you, at the height of a man, neither rising nor falling.Combat
How he fights. Sparing with his movements, he prefers to let the ground work for him: deep pits, hanging trunks, bison ribs set upright at the bottom. His traps do not capture, they kill, and if he picks someone up alive it is by accident. At range he aims true and he throws only once. Cornered, he takes up a studded club or a spear, and close quarters is not his discipline, but you had better have a strong stomach to go and teach him so.How to fight him. His pride is the only sure handhold. Flatter his strength, show your own, stand up straight: whoever stoops too low stops being someone to talk to and becomes a meal, and one does not speak with food. If weapons come out, stay close to him. Distance is his trade, the approach is dangerous only for as long as it lasts. Never let him close his hand.
