This reminds me of a fight we had long ago.  There was
a very smart goblin who had his tribe of goblins trick
a giant into thinking the giant was king of them all.
Basically for the cost of sucking up a bit to the giant
and feeding him, they had a giant ally when they had a 
fight.

The goblin leader, armed much of his band with lassos 
and bolas.

When they got into a fight, they would knock down the
PC's and then a giant doing 4d+2 with his mace would 
be hitting on a 13 adjusted DX.

The surviving PC's retreated and never actually got 
around to coming back to kill off and loot that goblin 
warren.
