Brom would probably be better off with enlarge, I think. He definitely will do a lot more damage and has a better to hit percentage.
So Shin used IH and MA.
Current AC is 34
Edit: Realized you said wand. Hmmm, tempting.
Dora D Asplora |
" Strong work with those giants back there. Still no sign of our missing cloud giant. Come along Rusty."
Dora will cast cures on herself and Rusty - about 3 charges each on the 10 min trip getting here. That should top them off. I will post with her pre-combat buffs in a bit. .
Pallas Morningstar |
Pallas sees the large array of giants in this chamber. "Great Sarenrae, I should have brought a bigger scimitar. Wait, maybe I can." He (or rather all of the images of Pallas that stand near him) pulls his wand of enlarge person from his haversack and speaks words of power to hasten everyone's movements and begins his battle dance.
Draw wand and cast haste; swift action to activate BD, and use bodyguard feat to protect anyone within 5' of Pallas.
Buffs:
+4 to AC (+3 insight +1 haste)
+6 on attacks (3 insight + 2 morale + 1 haste)
+5 on saves on Ex, Spell-Like, and Supernatural abilities of monsters (3 insight + 2 morale), +6 to Reflex saves
+2 morale on ability checks
+2 morale on skill checks
+2 morale on weapon damage rolls
1 extra attack with full attack
+30 feet movement (up to double)
Dora D Asplora |
Dora casts the cures from wand and will cast rage on Rusty and Prot v Evil on self. They both would accept haste and any other party buffs. She will start her song as soon as combat is about to start.
"This is quite an array of enemies. Sound tactics and perseverance will prevail."
DM Amazing Red |
Three of the giants break off from fighting the cloud giant and engage you.
H2 versus Davo: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
H3 versus Davo: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

H6 versus Davo: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
H7 versus Davo: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
But their weapons bounce off his magical protections as well.
Dora and Brom are up.
Brom'mash of Taldor |

"Get them team! Who do we need to save? The one way in the back or is that the leader? I cannot see past those front giants...cut them down"
She will cast Prot v Evil on Rusty and be ready to move up next turn.
DM Amazing Red |
The cloud giant takes a step back throws a ball of fire hitting H1, H2, H3, H5, and H6.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Only one of the targets is unable to dodge the brunt of the ball of flame.
Shinkeer is up!

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
The poor thunder lizard is still held.
Davo and Pallas.
Pallas Morningstar |
I'm assuming "Be" is the giantess.
Now invisible, Pallas dashes past the giants to the giantess making her way toward the cloud giant. She strikes with all her might as her enemy.
Move action 40' to O21, free action to continue BD, swift action to activate arcane strike; PA giantess 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (5) + 27 = 32 vs. giantess' FF AC for 1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 24 + (2) = 32 damage.
DM Amazing Red |
Davo turns Pallas into an invisible stalker who then creeps up to the giantess and slashes her like she turned him down.
The Hill Giants decide to switch up tactics a little. H2 decides to knock the gnome down.
Trip: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
With the gnome down, H3 grabs him.
Grapple: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 4 = 24
H8 will proceed to down the gnome into dough.
PA, Versus Prone, Grappling: 1d20 + 14 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 4 - 2 = 34

H6: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

But they all miss. Dora and Brom.

Dora D Asplora |
Dora continues singing her inspiring song from the back ranks (+2/+2) while she waits for a chance to move out.
"Hey, you cannot do that to my friend! Way to get him Brom!"
Dora looks into the back ranks and casts her last glitterdust on the enemies near the cloud giant.
Glitterdust, DC17 Will vs Blindness on Giants BE,H6, & H7
Rusty stands there, drooling in place with a crazy look in his eyes.
DM Amazing Red |
And Brom decapitates the rapacious giant. Dora summons a cloud of dust to blind her foes.
Be: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
H6: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
H7: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Shinkeer swings his blade once more at the northern giant.
DM Amazing Red |
Shinkeer hits his target three times and he goes down. The giantess ignores the invisible attacker and focuses on the wizard. She Lunges forward.
PA, Bane: 1d20 + 21 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 21 + 2 - 3 = 37

Davo and Pallas.
Pallas Morningstar |
Pallas calmly continues his battle dance, now in position to truly unleash the full fury of Sarenrae upon the giantess.
Free action to continue battle dance, swift action to activate arcane strike; full attack the giantess: attack1: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (19) + 27 = 46 for 1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 24 + (3) = 32 points of damage; attack2: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (10) + 27 = 37 for 1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 24 + (1) = 29 points of damage; iterative attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27 for 1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 24 + (5) = 33 points of damage; confirmation for attack1: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41 for 1d6 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28 points of damage; if all three attacks hit, giants H6 and H7 also take 9 point of damage each from my arcane strike.
Pallas Morningstar |
If the iterative attack (the 27) doesn't hit, I will burn a gallant inspiration spell as an immediate action to make sure it does.
DM Amazing Red |
32 + 29 + 28 + 33 = 122
Pallas lands every strike with the last making a deep gash in the giantess' arm, but she is still standing. The Hill Giants strike their targets.

DC16 Reflex to drop weapon
She continues to sing while she urges Rusty up to the north to attack the north-most giant (H1) and avoids the reach of (H5) with the wolf's 80' movement (Aoo from H1 may apply as she moves to P11).

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
And through sheer rage the Thunder Lizard breaks free of the enchantment!
Davo plays his dirge and the collective giant community weep a little at the mean words from the bullying gnome. He will total defense. Target is dead, so not sure if you want to use the spell on something else or save it.
Pallas!
Pallas Morningstar |
Pallas calls out in Giant, "Your leader is dead. Leave this place now and you will not be harmed. Stay and death will be your only companion. Intimidate check: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (5) + 25 = 30

Burn a ki point for AC. AC 38 this round.
Pallas Morningstar |
Pallas tries to dive aside as the giant lizard tramples over him and his companions, and is only clipped by the creature's passing. Reflex save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35.
Pallas Morningstar |
"Let's take down this lizard!"
Pallas full attacks the lizard in front of him. If he downs him and still has attacks remaining, he will 5'-step one square to the west (or left) and attack hill giant H5. If he doesn't down the lizard, he will 5'-step one square to the east and bodyguard Shin. attack1: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (7) + 27 = 34 for1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 24 + (5) = 35 points of damage; attack2: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41 for1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 24 + (3) = 33 points of damage; iterative attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26 for1d6 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 24 + (2) = 30 points of damage.

DM Amazing Red |
And Brom almost cuts the dinosaur down all by himself, but the beast is just barely too tough and keeps trampling. Pallas's first strike brings the beast down, stealing the kill. He then finishes off another giant, it is just a matter of time before you all finish off the last one. Combat is over.
Once the battle is over, the cloud giant wizard moves to sit down on a comfortable chair in the central hall. A number of cats, both big and house-kind come out and sit by him. The giant strokes his snow-white beard and manages a smile.
“Judging by your bloodthirstiness, you must be Pathfinders. I am Zoarth, known to some as the Sky Mage. Welcome to my home. How is that
you are here, at the precise time of my time of greatest need? And what’s more, do you know why these brutes have assaulted me in my quiet
and peaceful studies?”
Perception check for whoever is looting the bodies.
Dora D Asplora |
Dora is too interested in the skymage to worry about loot just yet.
"Indeed, we are Pathfinders as well as scholars and historians. Some may say fate brought us to you, others might claim a cat led us. But whatever the reason, while we are here, we would like to discuss a few topics of mutual interest. And as far as why these brutes attacked your home, I can only say that their chief has it in for you for some reason. Oh and nice cats by the way. More of a dog person myself, but cats are nice too."
DM Amazing Red |
"Well I will not hold your preference against you small one. But before we go any further, as a small token of my gratitude, I would like to reward you with some potions from my stock."
His collection currently consists of the following: bear’s endurance, bull’s strength, cat’s grace, displacement, eagle’s splendor, fly(2), fox’s cunning, gaseous form, invisibility(2), owl’s wisdom, protection from energy(acid), protection from energy(cold), protection from energy(fire, 3), see invisibility, water breathing
"Well what would you like to discuss?"
Pallas Morningstar |
Pallas first tends to Brom's wounds and then his own, replacing his shield wand with the curing one. After completing his magics he looks strangely at the wand in his hand and shakes it a few times, before offering it to the rest of the party. "Anyone want a stick?" He looks in particular to Dora's enormous dog, offering to play fetch.
