“ You see that castle in the distance, Hoggu? It is a challenge to the dominion your people have always had over these lands. Once we wrest it from the hands of my—er, our enemies, your kin shall once again be the rulers of the Ashen Hills. ” —Gustav the Hammer, warlord of the Ashen Hills to Hoggu the hill giant Giants tear apart the structures of the smaller folk with ease, which is readily apparent to any general or warlord and a hill giant's loyalty can be bought with food and interesting baubles, even if only until the giant forgets about the agreement. These two facts led to the deployment of the first hill giant besiegers. These brawny brutes are ferocious shock troops and are covered from head to toe in sturdy plate and wield gigantic mauls with which to shatter any walls or unlucky defenders in their path. At range, they hurl massive boulders. When unleashed upon the enemy, their tactics are rudimentary, rarely evolving beyond a mad charge to flatten the nearest wall, though they can become distracted if something else catches their attention. A hill giant besieger may lead a contingent of ogres to battle or serve as a distraction for sappers to breach the fortifications elsewhere.
