==Objectives==
#Speak with a questgiver from the Fighters Guild.
#Journey to and enter the specified dungeon.
##Slay the giant hiding somewhere within.
##(Possible) Rescue the kidnapped merchant.
#(Optional) Escort the merchant to their home town.

==Walkthrough==
When speaking to a Questgiver from one of the Iliac Bay's Fighters Guild Guildhalls, it is revealed to the Agent that a giant has recently moved into the local area. Ordinarily, the Guild would not have to act on this information but a noble has complained that the giant "has been having a fine old time feastin' on [their] sheep." While the giant has also been feasting on the local villagers, the Noble is paying the Guild to deal with the giant before it eats the rest of his flock, and so the Agent is sent off to kill it in its lair.
===A Bigger Problem===
The Questgiver will mark the location of giant's lair, a dungeon, on their map, with the Agent having to enter said dungeon to find the giant within. Other than the giant, the Agent will encounter a random assortment of creatures and enemies, potentially including several other giants. One of those will be the target giant, although when the target is slain, the Agent will face another issue:
As many as six more giants will appear, one by one, to kill the Agent for killing their leader, making the escape much harder than initially thought. They do not need to be killed, however, so all the Agent has to do is escape the dungeon and return to the Questgiver before the time limit expires.
===(Potential) The Next Meal===
After slaying the target giant, the Agent has a one in three chance of coming across a merchant, hiding out in the dungeon after being kidnapped. When spoken to the villager will remark:
The Agent has the option to aid the merchant or leave them for dead, although there will be no extra reward for aiding them, other than a reputation boost among the merchants. Should the Agent choose to aid them, they will be asked to take the merchant to their home town, which must be completed before the Agent returns to the Questgiver.
==Rewards==
The Agent will be paid a random amount of for killing the beast, as well as a standard boost to their reputation within the Guild. Furthermore, the Agent has a one in three chance of receiving a random map from the Questgiver for successfully killing the creature.
Failing the quest will not only see the Agent forfeit a reward, but also have their standing with the Guild harmed:
Success 	Success

A Saviour	A Saviour
Faction 	Reputation
Merchants	+15
