Hon's Round 1 actions were to withdraw from his gnoll (full defense)[looking at map heading towards the Giant door.] and tell him not to attack. [ooc] Ok I just read up on full defense/move action/withdraw. I can't withdraw as in threatened space. I can move 20' and provoke AoO, Full defense +4 AC remains a standard action]
Round 2 Hon's head is on a swivel, switching from his gnoll (G8) to Pito at the giant's door. [common]"Pito, step aside. Our battle is with the giants. We must silence that horn!" Hon remains on full defense, another 20', He motions Pito to move aside with his off-hand, whilst gripping the hammer with the other.
Magnum throw his hammer at the door.
The hammer makes a huge thunderclap and rattles the door, but the giant just bellows louder.

[ooc]Will Hon or Pito the Gnoll required to roll for fort as well?
If so
If/Then statement.
a) Pito the gnoll does not move, Hon will try to acrobat past for another AoO. Can't do full defense if acro-move. .
b) Pito DOES move, Hon will spend finish his 20' move and spend another move switching his hammer to the off-hand, pickup the "HAMMER" with his right hand.
3rd round actions: Hon will first attempt to open door, not sure if it is barred, then sunder it via HAMMER. (BAB+ST+Bless) Knock.Knock.
Magnum went for giant only.
Joan sends off another two arrows at the giant.
Kragg keeps his readied stance should someone try to attack Joan as she keeps firing at the giant. should the gnolls become vilent he will attack them otherwise he keeps his eyes open.
Gallak's hum becomes a full throated drone, undulating in volume and pitch. Drawing the axe, he slams the haft to the floor, punctuating the melody.
One of Joan's arrows bites deep into the giant. Kib fires a missile from a wand, and the giant is immersed in a fiery blast and comes out singed and cursing.
Responding with extreme quickness unnatural in one so tall, the giant fires two rocks the size of small boulders at the gnome in quick succession. Both rocks hit with devastating force and the gnome crumples to the ground.
The gnolls look on in horror. The firepower exchanged by Kib, Joan, and the giant make them recoil. They begin to run to the far wall on the dwarves right as they entered outside the line of sight of the giant.
"Ouch, dammit."
Joan shakes the pain out of her hand after the bowstring sliced her finger.
Seeing kib crumple to the ground, Kragg knows that Joan will be the next target with her flight of arrows. To this end Kragg positions himself in front of her to shield her from the barrage of boulders coming her way.if he can time it right, he can move out of her way to give her a free shot just to jump back in front after the arrows have left. Somebody get Kib up. Don't need another one dying here.
Gallak waits to see if Nar can reach Kib.
Another one of Joan's arrows strikes true, doing what would be significant damage to the giant if he was a 'normal' human. But this giant is made of tough stuff.
Magnum throws the hammer at the giant. The hammer hums as it moves toward the giant singing in dwarvish "Death to giants".
Unfortunately the hammer glances off the giant's helmet narrowly missing penetrating his natural hide. Although the giant does not understand dwarvish, he turns his attention to the human ranger recognizing the hammer as a threat.

Round 2 Hon
Observing Pito skitter out of the way, Hmmm that’s what a scared gnoll looks like., Hon sees two somethings fly out of the window above the door. The gnolls are huddling and whining in their barking tongue, what appears to be a bellowing giant on the inside of the bunker. He does the fastest duck crouch Kragg ever saw then flattens himself alongside the wall adjacent to the door. The Owl’s stealth cloak allowing Hon to first mimic a rolling boulder, then a roughly hewn wall of the bunker. So I get to meet my first giant, likely barred from the inside, and my crowbar sits on the bridge. How inconvenient. Hon inspects the door and listens for another occupant of the room. Hon reaches to one of his pouches as he peaks along the door sill.
Nar moves to Kib when he sees him fall to make sure he is alive
Heal Check
If he is he will swap out bull's strength for a cure moderate
Nar rushes to Kib, but the gnome is fatally wounded. The two stones having induced massive bleeding from his small mouth. Two wands are still clutched in his hands.
Khazad yells in rage and rushes the giant in the doorway. His charge carries him right up to the door and he bravely swings Durnaxe in an overhand blow trying to hit the much taller giant. His blow is ineffective as the giant hide seems to be as good as full plate armor.
Hon watches in horror from his hide as the giant reaches out to grab the dwarf. The giant does not notice Hon as he reaches out and lifts the durable fighter up the door with a grip of iron over his helmet and neck.
As Khazad's head disappears inside, his feet continue to struggle. The axe drops to the ground at the foot of the door.
The gnolls, once out of sight of the giant, give the group a massive stare and shrug their shoulders with their palms upraised. They seem to imply 'What you doing next?'
The gnolls then bash their weapons along the wall and yell, it is obvious they are trying to simulate fighting sounds. One yells in giant,
The axe yells in anger from the ground:
"Someone pick me up, and we can finish off this giant."
The human ranger watches the hammer return to his throwing hand: "Khazad's big a$$ is blocking my shot with the hammer. What do we do?"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
Joan moves up to get a better angle on the giant.
Now we take the fight directly to him.
With that Kragg marches forward redy to deliver death to the over sized giant who has slain two of his comrades. When he is within rech, Kragg starts to lay the giant low taking out his knee caps to bring the giant down to size. Unfortunately his aim is off and his attack bounces off the side of the door frame.
Attack
Damage
Khazad's continues to curse and struggle, so he is grappled and highly upset. Kragg's blow misses and the giant curses the dwarves in his native tongue.
Gallak rips the bandolier of Wands from the gnome and drapes them haphazardly about himself. Drawing one, he points it at the flailing Khazad, intoning words of a language long dead.
Kragg drinks a potion as Khazad grows larger and seems to give the giant some trouble. Khazad attempts to struggle with the giant, but the giant seems to have him in a crushing headlock.
After a brutal struggle, Khazad's battered form with a grossly misshapen neck falls to the ground down the door. Kragg drinks his potion and begins to grow too.
Khazad did not go down easily, and his struggle bought some moments. Would it be enough?
Magnum closes and unleashes the singing hammer with the window clear.
His throw misses wildly, and Magnum narrowly misses grabbing it on the return. He retreats a few paces to pick it up from the ground.

Round 3 Hon Actions:
Looking up at Khazad looming larger, looking at Kragg also growing larger, Hon tries the door before he gets crushed or the door collapses under the weight... Weight crushing the door... Eh. If it doesn't open...I'm gonna sunder this baby open... Oh. Lookee a talking axe. Hon picks up the Axe! "Diplomacy? Not with this crew, we are in the aggressive negiotation stage, eh?"
Joan's focus is on the giant, and her bow hums as another pair of arrows streaks in.
Another arrow finds the giant behind the door under cover.
Hon hits the door and sparks and acid fly. The door is damaged but still intact. It will take roughly three more blows from the big axe to get through the iron door. Hon will have to make way for Kragg, who will occupy the entire alcove when he moves in at giant size.
Gallak draws a second wand as he surges forwards, invoking words of trickery and hissing syllables long forgotten. Kragg's form splits into a kaleidoscope of dwarves, blurring his true self.
As the spell triggers, Gallak reaches for a third wand, a black rod inlaid with bone-white spider webbing. He looks back towards Joan, clearly indecisive.
Should I block him off for now? The white-bearded dwarf asks Kragg.
Nar conjures up a spectral greataxe and sends it towards the giant
Attack
Damage
"Open that door you coward!!!" The axe bellows loudly.
Hon feels the thrill of battle infuse his being. Thoughts of stealth and subtlety are gone. Standing toe to toe with the giant is his main desire.
Hon swings another blow at the door, which buckles slightly but stays on its hinges.
Hon then gains control and pulls back to make room, dragging Khazad away.
Nar's spectral weapon fails to connect with the giant. Two of Joan's arrows stay sunk deep in the giant's neck and shoulder.
Joan's fury finally reaches the boiling point and her voice echoes through the chamber.
Now the same size, relatively as the giant, Kragg starts swinging his urgrosh with a fury. If he doesn't take the giant down first all the damage Kragg inflicts on the wall might make it come down instead burying the giant and Kragg together.
Slashing attack
Damage
Piecing attack
Damage
The giant seems to attack Kragg repeatedly with his bare hands. Kragg is trained to fight giants, and takes advantage of the cover of the door.
The brutal flurry from the giant who seems to prefer his bare hands to a weapon leaves Kragg bleeding from massive wounds on the floor. He finishes with a two handed strike with both hands. The single opponent is by far the most formidable the dwarves have faced.
Magnum throws the hammer hoping to score another hit on the giant.
The giant quickly recovers from the hammer blow and refuses to be stunned by the massive impact the hammer delivers. He bellows at Joan in common, "I have the advantage here. Beg for mercy, and I will not crush you with a rock like the runty one."
Another pair of arrows streaks towards the giant. Joan's eyes burn with what can only be called pure hatred.
The spiritual greataxe whiffs harmlessly past the giant.
Spiritual Greataxe
Damage
Nar casts a heal spell then moves over to aid Kragg, "I'm not letting you die Kragg!"
cure moderate wounds for Kragg
Gallak stops waiting for the leader to respond, and webs the giant into his alcove.
Deaf moron, he remarks as the spell goes off.
As Kragg is healed, Gallak puts a web that expands from the farthest point he can see, just inside the opening over the door. It expands into the alcove making it difficult for movement in or out, and holds the giant fast.
The gnolls look at the bloody exchange and shake their heads. They continue to stay neutral.
Kragg grabs his urgrosh and stands up ready to continue the assault once the web is broken. Thanks for the cover and respite. Now let's kill this thing.
Joan's arrow miss the giant behind the door, and the web fills the alcove and door, grabbing onto the ceiling and floor.
School conjuration (creation); Level sorcerer/wizard 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (spider web)
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect webs in a 20-ft.-radius spread
Duration 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw Reflex negates; see text; Spell Resistance no
Web creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands. These strands trap those caught in them. The strands are similar to spiderwebs but far larger and tougher. These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points or else the web collapses upon itself and disappears. Creatures caught within a web become grappled by the sticky fibers. Attacking a creature in a web doesn't cause you to become grappled.
Anyone in the effect's area when the spell is cast must make a Reflex save. If this save succeeds, the creature is inside the web but is otherwise unaffected. If the save fails, the creature gains the grappled condition, but can break free by making a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check as a standard action against the DC of this spell. The entire area of the web is considered difficult terrain. Anyone moving through the webs must make a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check as part of their move action, with a DC equal to the spell's DC. Creatures that fail lose their movement and become grappled in the first square of webbing that they enter.
If you have at least 5 feet of web between you and an opponent, it provides cover. If you have at least 20 feet of web between you, it provides total cover.
The strands of a web spell are flammable. A flaming weapon can slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire can set the webs alight and burn away one 5-foot square in 1 round. All creatures within flaming webs take 2d4 points of fire damage from the flames.
Web can be made permanent with a permanency spell. A permanent web that is damaged (but not destroyed) regrows in 10 minutes.
Reflex save

Hon lets loose with another swing at the door then moves back out of range of webbing and any backdraft of fire when it gets thrown. Giant ain't touching me that intact web, concealment from door and a giant-sized Kragg the target of choice. Yeah Kragg, you just smiling for that 100 pound anvil fist of his.
