Adolina seems to almost walk through the fireball - one moment she's there, then the spell erupts in light and when it fades she's still there, completely untouched.
Shadowlina withdraws into the wall, unwilling to face any more damage as Adolina leaps forward, her reflexes even faster than normal thanks to Cadas.
She ducks under the giant's leg, slicing as she goes, and races out the other side.
"You going to run away again Lucretia? Or will you actually be more of a challenge than your sister?"
Cadas avoids most of the fire damage, but now seeing how this fight will likely do decides to divide things up in hopes of taking one enemy at a time. She casts Wall of stone just to the east of Adolina, hopefully blocking the group from sight from all but the closer giant. she adopts the +2 to hit and AC from her deities blessing and advances.
The wall will be 10-12' high and 20-25 feet wide, following that contour line on the map.

DESCRIPTION
This spell creates a wall of rock that merges into adjoining rock surfaces. A wall of stone is 1 inch thick per four caster levels and composed of up to one 5-foot square per level. You can double the wall’s area by halving its thickness. The wall cannot be conjured so that it occupies the same space as a creature or another object.
Unlike a wall of iron, you can create a wall of stone in almost any shape you desire. The wall created need not be vertical, nor rest upon any firm foundation; however, it must merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. It can be used to bridge a chasm, for instance, or as a ramp. For this use, if the span is more than 20 feet, the wall must be arched and buttressed. This requirement reduces the spell’s area by half. The wall can be crudely shaped to allow crenelations, battlements, and so forth by likewise reducing the area.
Like any other stone wall, this one can be destroyed by a disintegrate spell or by normal means such as breaking and chipping. Each 5-foot square of the wall has hardness 8 and 15 hit points per inch of thickness. A section of wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached. If a creature tries to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 20 + 2 per inch of thickness.
It is possible, but difficult, to trap mobile opponents within or under a wall of stone, provided the wall is shaped so it can hold the creatures. Creatures can avoid entrapment with successful Reflex saves.

With a wisecrack and some tricky spellcasting, Robin tries to spin a yarn for the giant bodyguard before he can smash things with his over-sized boulder. But the giant is used to tricky spells and does not fall for Robin's joke.
Instead the big warrior tosses the rock, trying to crush Cadas. Fortunately, both the big rocks miss the Shoanti priestess.
Marcellano fires a series of magic missiles at the nearest Stone Giant hitting him 3 times for limited damage.
Cadas casts a spell that creates a wall across the mouth of the king's hall, separating the giant guard from the enemy casters.
Adolina springs into action, leaping forward and attacking the giant, and cutting a slice from the parts she can reach while bounding away unharmed.
Lucrecia casts a spell from behind the stone wall, and in a split instant, she appears on the other side, along with the giant lord, Barl Breakbones.

Throne of Ancient Kings - Round 3 - continued
Robin tries his comedy magic on the rock-throwing giant once again. This time the brute gets the punchline and falls over himself in gales of laughter.
Not really wanting to laugh, the giant struggles to regain control but the magical compulsion is just too strong and it cannot help himself, as he guffaws louder than ever.
Cadas casts Righteous Might and closes on the laughing giant.
