Otto was on the barricade when the Giant came. Well, it was not a giant, they said they grew larger than a lord’s house, and that was very large, but the thing that came running from the road was smaller than that, but it still seemed like a giant to Otto. It was covered in metal plate, and its eyes glowed red, and it moved so quickly it was hard to keep track of. Otto and the rest of the men thought it was another monster come to kill them, but no, it had held a sword that glowed blue, and started slaughtering the orks, cutting through them like they were mere shadows in the night.
The ork shaman had thrown a bolt at it then, and they despaired, but it did nothing to the giant. The magic which had reduced Otto’s friends to pulp, thrown them against a tree where they did not get up had not harmed this thing, it had only enraged it! It had picked up poor Emil’s pitchfork, and rushed into the darkness of the trees. The orks still came at them, but as they fought them they could see the blue outline of the giant’s blade jumping and sweeping between the trees, and the howls of the goblins as they died. It moved so fast like it was magic, and they thought it must be, for the shaman was throwing bolt and flame at the giant, briefly illuminating the bulk of this armoured thing but never touching it. And then they saw the shaman building up his power for a spell that would surely obliterate it, but the armoured giant threw Emil’s pitchfork and got it through the chest just as it released all its energy. They cheered, and were encouraged, and all at once charged over the barricades at the greenskins, who had never seen the peasants do such a thing before. This was not a fair fight. The humies were fighting back! Bloody gits! Woz they thinkin? Deyz ain’t supposed to fight back!
