First off it was total news to me that you were there to fight him unprepped and so forth. Secondly, you didn't kill the giant. Thirdly, the biggest reason more full-on recoveries aren't attempted from Imperials has nothing to do with what imperials you face, and everything to do with centurions. Being cornered in a section of the mud where your foe can run and heal while you have to fear even resting is a huge deterrant and one reason why I think centurions is a #### power. Had I known you were coming to fight one on one I'd have stayed out of it but no one told me. As soon as you left we did recover even though Favtov hopped on, Carrick never showed up even when we raided. Thems the breaks...
