Curse of the Weregiant

About the adventure

The Curse of the Weregiant is intended for four characters with an average party level of 9. Characters who complete this adventure should earn enough experience to reach one-third of the way to 10th-level. There once was a small enclave of goodly giants that lived in the mountains. They traded with the local villages and mostly kept to themselves. One day, one of their own came back with a terrible festering wound. Try as they might, they couldn't heal the infection. On the next full moon, the poor soul transformed into a lycan abomination and fled the enclave. Ever since, he's been terrorizing the local villages with a pack of werewolves. They strike at night when the moon is high in the sky and flee into the wilderness by dawn. He commands an army of wolves, dire and otherwise, and, if left unchecked, will wipe out every settlement this side of the peaks. The characters are approached by a local militia. They've been trying to defend the outlying villages from werewolf attacks for months, but recently the attacks have gotten worse and there have been sightings of a giant-sized lycan among them. Fearing that the wolves are beginning to organize, they offer the characters 10,000 gp to bring back the pelt of the giant lycan, 1000 gp for each werewolf pelt, and 100 gp for each wolf pelt. They mark a spot on the characters' map of the last sighting of the creatures.
