Our City of Peltarch, The Jewel of the Icelace, is in war with nearby Giants of the Giantspire Mountains, since many years.
As a weapon-able Citizen, I've fought Hill Giants and Outer Spire Giants, ... recently even alone, without any backup.
Experience made me skilled and tough, these Giants are no longer much of challenge for me, at least when I am playing cautious. The quality equipment that I've collected so far is also helpful, makes the difference between victory and death.
I am preparing to venture deeper into Giants' territory, where Giant Savages, Giant Brutes, Tamed Worgs (Big, Bad & Wild Wolves), and Wicked Fomorians (Giants of sorts) dwell.
Did some gossip for preparations, and was advised to invest in the Stone Skin potions or scrolls for when I go there. Also, people advised me to fight on the horseback. Bought special helmet for this too.

I do not know much about magick, about Real Wizardry or Sorcery, but read many books and learned how to cast spells from scrolls. Stone Skin Scrolls are cheaper and easier to find than Stone Skin Potions.
In Spellweaver Keep, in Norwick, they sell Stoneskin Scrolls for 504 gp each. Bought a few and will try it sooner or later. It's pretty expensive for me, but I heard it can be a lifesaver. Thankfully spells cast from these scrolls last for a fairly long duration, for about 70 minutes. Scroll with a spell is 'consumed' when the spell is cast from it.
P.S. I am already using Potions of Bull's Strength (30 gp each) and Potions of
Barkskin (86 gp each). These potions last for short duration, so usually using 2-3 of each for about a half-hour trip.
