It's probably the arrow more than the insult, but the giant almost seems to respond to Metaari's jibe, lifting a heavy arm and roaring in the qunari's general direction. He is the handsomest giant in this Keep, thank you very much. But thankfully not the smartest, as, drawn by their attention, he lumbers forward directly into the path of Twisted Fate's fire mine. But he's moving a little more quickly than might have been originally anticipated from such an ungainly creature, and the blast of flame only manages to singe its backside. This of course prompts another roar, and a flail of its club that sends a wash of icy snow and dirt at its assailants, threatening to get in the eyes and mouths of the unwary.

The giant advances more quickly after its initial shock has faded, feet shaking the ground hard enough to unsteady even the most skilled aim and balance. It lashes out with its club, a huge haymaking swing at the trio.
