Odyssey Laestrygonians<

The Laestrygonians

Aeolus refuses to entertain and equip a man detested by the gods. Gloomily you continue, rowing hard for six days. On the seventh you come to Telepylus, Lamus' stronghold on the Laestrygonian land, where nightfall and dawn follow so closely that a man who could do without sleep could earn a double set of wages. You find an excellent harbour, closed in with a ring of cliffs, with only a narrow entrance between two headlands…

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Stay cautiously outside the harbour?
Moor outside the cove, and send men to explore?
Row into the harbour and get trapped by the Laestrygonians?
Meet a race of ugly, but kindly giants?
Encounter a woman of "mountainous proportions"?
