Don't go bacon my heart.

We return to the adventurers knocking on the door.

Jacques is one of two castle "guards" who are watching over a locked up and very unconscious Giant.

In a stunning turn of events it appears that the village (at least Selucreh) imprisoned the giant in this floating castle as retribution for having taken the children.

Our adventurers learn that Malta told Selucreh all about this castle where a Giant would lose his strength once no longer in contact with the earth.

Some exploring of this strange castle finds our heroes in possession of some strange artifacts.

A Magical Smartness Cap, A Fabulous Cloak of Hidery, A Glamorous pair of Speedy Bootie, and last but no least an Amazing (if tarnished) Sword of Stabby. 

 During this pillaging the presence of a small black cat is made known to our troop and is followed to a forest abode with a detach farm yard that holds of all things 17 pigs. After a short lesson in how to make friends with a kitty and how to communicate with the pigs our adventurers determine that these are in fact the missing children enchanted by none other than Malta.

The decision is made to take all the piggy children back to the castle and find away to turn them back. After tying all 17 of them to Keoman. They make their way back to the castle to hide the pigs and attempt to get the giant out of the castle. As our adventurers are smearing Antaeus in mud a hideous storm blows in and Malta appears!

In a stunning turn of events we are left with a cliff hanger as Keoman grapples Malta by the neck!

What thrills!
