Neat bit of trivia... the hill giant steading in the background is drawn based off the artwork from the original D&D module 'Against the Giants'! 🙂
When our gaming group played through the updated 'Against the Giants' module (featured in 'Tales from the Yawning Portal') last year, we cheesed our way in to the fort with our wizard's Passwall spell. But as our heroes here don't have a powerful spellcaster (instead they have a... ahem... bard 😁), they're going a different route. Will it work? Given the average hill giant has the IQ of a bowl of tapioca pudding, I'm gonna say "yes".
Lastly, having done a search for "Trojan Pig" led me to discover that a cider company in the UK has apparently built one, and even rents it out as an Airbnb. Honestly I'm a bit surprised; that's the kind of weird thing I'd expect an American to do first (because as a country we have a screw loose). But apparently the Brits beat us to it! Just like they did with the Trojan Rabbit...
