My People Are Cowards

We suspect they were brought here by the French, who cannot be trusted. It is a bold escalation in what was otherwise a cold or, at worst, simmering war. This cannot be excused.

And yet, none will battle them. All know that giants create ruckus, and that giants should be battled forever until there are no more giants.  I want to know why my people are not battling them. I suspect cowardice.

They must be shown. I will show them. I have studied the movements of the giants. I have armed myself; I will lead a force at daybreak.

Do not mourn the giant...

Note: This whole system was used successfully for a few years, til the end of 2014, but I've moved onto a new thing. It's not perfect, but I don't think I'm going to update this anymore. There are some decent ideas in here. Feel free to use the system, or pieces, for your games. Some pieces were borrowed from other people. Please ask me if you want to use anything make money.
