The Trading Post Becomes an Employment Agency

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 65693

It isn't every day that the trading post gets visitors like these: two muscular yet beautiful women, very pale-skinned and - most notable of all - nine feet tall. They have to crouch a little to avoid banging their heads on the ceiling. They are barefoot and dressed in short skirts and halter tops. The whisper quickly goes round: "Frost giants!"

"What can I do for you two - um - ladies?" the clerk behind the counter asks nervously, trying to keep his voice steady.

"We need to earn some gold pieces," one of the giantesses says, to the clerk's surprise. Her accent is thick, but he can understand her well enough. "Do you know of anyone who might want to employ a couple of guards?"

"Or perhaps wants some heavy lifting done that humans couldn't manage?" the other - redhaired - giantess puts in.

  1. "Excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing," one of the customers says. "I know of something that might be suitable."
  2. "I'm afraid not," the clerk says. After all, who would ever want to employ frost giants? You might just as well employ ogres and expect it to end happily, he thinks.
