 Your position is hopeless but all is not completely lost. The Jotun follow an ancient code of conduct many times older than human habitation in Arborell, and in this instance it works in your favour. With nowhere to run you raise your weapon and cajole them to attack.
In the light of many torches the Jotun fill the confines of the Library, torchlight throwing grotesque shadows about the chamber, but none move towards you. Instead the largest stands before the rest, a four metre tall ochre-skinned Hordim, emblazoned in tattoos and wearing a finely decorated set of battle armour. It is only as they begin arguing amongst themselves that you realise what is about to transpire. If you had submitted to them without a fight they would have butchered you without hesitation, but such a surrender is not the way of the Dwarvendim. You have stood your ground, and to these giant creatures this is a personal challenge that must be answered by each in turn. You will not die immediately, however once they have decided the order of their participation they will try to kill you. Each Jotun will attack in succession, their fellow Hordim content to wait their turn. You must fight each as a separate combat. Combat values and endurance ratings are as follows.

If by some miracle you defeat these giants of the Horde their kinsmen will flee from your blade, leaving you alone in the Library. If you have survived turn to section 186. If you are overwhelmed by your adversaries then it is here that your quest ends. You can be assured however, that your brave stand will not be forgotten.
