This archive isn't complete yet, though I'm working on it. The story begins as follows:

SunStorm, a disgraced Paladin, comes to the city of Generica seeking help for the rescue of his people from the invading Demon Queen. His people are the giants who live on the far side of the DiamondGate (one of the multitude of magical doors, portals, and otherwise leaks which the planed of Nexus is riddled with; Generica is a city on Nexus, the Dragon's Inn is a place of business in Generica.) SunStorm is half Stone Giant and half Storm Giant, and rather larger than life.

He is accompanied by his friend TrueSilver, who is a Silver Dragon of good family. He is also accompanied by ShockWave, a magical blade with a big mouth.

A few days after SunStorm came to town, there is a riot in the Low City, and the giant is distracted long enough to help with the fighting against the instigators. At some point during this riot, his dragon friend disappears. This is not a major worry for SunStorm, as TrueSilver often left to hunt, but after he does not reappear in a few days, SunStorm becomes worried.

After seeing SunStorm bash his head on the beams inside the Inn one time too many, Luthor Anside sprinkles the giant with a reducing powder, which makes him shrink to four feet tall; this is a temporary effect and SunStorm puts up with it because he is tired of not fitting inside the buildings in Generica, and he knows it can be washed off with a little wine.

The giant begins looking for his friend, going so far as to approach a seer, who gives him a puzzling riddle in response. Meanwhile, the adventurer Lancos Erredan has taken up the giant's cause and is rounding up a search party.

The story continues from here:
