General Summary
As we loot the boggart lair we hear a loud voice calling us 'turncoats' and yelling in a language we can't decipher. Neremyn tries sensing thoughts but they must be outside the spell's range.
Tilly casts an illusion spell to sound like we're moving away, hoping that he can't see us through the fog cloud.
"Puny landlords!" The voice cries from far off, "I'll eat you and destroy your city!"
I decide to use a spell to become invisible and boldly stride northward until I exit the fog and realize it's not a huge area - only a 20-foot sphere that's rather easy to exit, except there may be foes waiting outside our view. Rizza leaves the foggy area, and spots a strange looking troll standing on the little swamp island who'se throwing the massive stones at our group.
Agol & Tilly banter for a moment and we realize it's not a troll but some kind of Marsh Giant! We begin the fight in ernest but even with my magically amplified bow, cloaked in Invisibility, with a True Strike spell on it, Neremyn manages to fumble the shot completely. Thankfully Bork has a large sphere of fire chasing the creature causing some minor distractions.
As the giant dies, he calls us liars and contract breakers... but none of use know why. We decide to keep him alive and tie him up to question when he wakes up.
Bork speaks with the trees and learns that Eli Whitney had an agreement with the Marsh Giant to let them live on the land. We couldn't read much of the details, but after Tilly & Rizza wander off Neremyn decides to use one of their spell-like abilities to kill the giant and make it appear like an accident. The others aren't too thrilled but Neremyn manages to convince the others it wasn't on purpose and we destroy the Land Title/Deed before beginning the journey back to Hero City.
