Hey Folks, I just wanted to justify Gimlak's last comments. The way I see it, because of what the Storm Giant prince told the party (i.e. that he'll have to get involved if he can see we are attacking), I figured it would be the same for the stone giant. This is why I had Gimlack say what he said. I'll go along with the general consensus, but I didn't want a hill giant to show up, and then have to fight our temporary albeit forced stone giant ally because he would feel the need to ally with giants.
I may also be reaching unfounded conclusions. We'll see ;-)
Cheers,
SG
