They are between you and the embattled city of Kurak. As you survey the area, you hear the unsubtle tread of the aforementioned giants. Sure enough, a warparty of giants are staggering your way.

These would darken the thoughts and potentially corrupt even the most pious. Greenskins and evil creatures will have had no defence (nor want one) from the feelings these would evoke.

You pull a token out of your pack. "Aye, just like those. I'm not familiar with this rune." You shake your head. "Not many are. It's the rune of the Shadow Lord." Kaydus flinches. It cannot be!

Before he knows what is happening, the guard is down and knocked out.

"The Shadow Lord's minions are insidious. We must get to your leaders. Only by having them compromised would this be so wide spread!" Kaydus nods. "Let
