By the time that they had finished clearing the last battlefield, the bags on the side of Thor were overflowing with loot, and he looked more like a pack mule than a combat pet. They had simply killed so many Frost Giants today that they couldn't resist grabbing anything remotely magical looking, with the plan to identify and sort it later.
The Frost Giant scouts should have been sent into battle with decent gear, and that gear would be very close to what the group needed to fight them. It wouldn't be the fire Element attack gear they wanted, but if even a few of the armour pieces could be bonded, and assuming there were some Giant Strength type enchantments, they could make massive gains.
Hawk sent them an update on his scouting mission.
