Game Summary
The Ettin's Riddle is one of the original Dungeons & Dragons adventures released in PDF format on the Wizards of the Coast website as part of a quasi-monthly series. The adventure involves a moral quandry and dealing with an ettin behaving rather oddly. Intended for four 2nd- or 3rd-level characters, and uses the version 3.0 rules.

From the website:
"An ettin has begun terrorizing the hamlet of Newkeep, stealing cattle and smashing homes — and flattening anyone who tries to stop him. Meanwhile, a mysterious riddle has appeared on the walls of the local shrine — a riddle which may hold the key to vanquishing the ettin."

Next in our series of monthly free adventures, JD Wiker gives us The Ettin's Riddle, an original Dungeons & Dragons adventure suitable for a party of 2nd-level or 3rd-level player characters.
