"Blast you." Zigil channels energy at the overgrown chew toy.
"I hope this is effective. I don't have a lot of these left."

"Zigil we are all hurting here! Heaaaal us you son of a, well daughter... just heal us."

Grodar continues his assault on the skeleton's legs.
Zigil's channel seems to have very little effect on the skeleton, but Grodar is able to break its pelvis with a pair of well-placed strikes, and the skeleton clatters to the ground.
As the badly wounded heroes catch their breath, movement can be heard in the cave beyond.
"Well struck Grodar!"
Giles will retrieve his blunderbuss.

Zigil now realizes he totally misunderstood Giles' previous request. If he has time, he will make sure everyone is close enough and channel energy to heal the wounded.
If there is time to do a second one, he will. .
I assumed the skeleton was undead and not just animated. Should've asked.
The extra half damage comes from the Aasimar Favored class(cleric): Add +1/2 to damage when using positive energy against undead or using Alignment Channel to damage evil outsiders.
I think you have misunderstood that racial trait. Each time you take the favoured class bonus it adds 1/2 hit point to the damage you do. Check out the 4th paragraph here. After all, you can take your favoured class bonus at every level, and there is no way a stacking multiplier on channel is the same as a hp or skill rank. I had missed that you were doing that, because swarms take 1.5 x damage from area effects.
Feel free to change it if you wish.
I didn't know about the 1 1/2 times damage from area effects, but that explains why my mistake didn't get flagged till the giant.
Thanks for letting me fix it. I want to think about whether I would take the skill rank or the extra 1/2 point of damage on channeling at each level. I'll fix my sheet tonight or tomorrow. I'll check Haer Kul's sheet too and make sure I didn't take a favored class bonus on top of the skill rank.
"I think we may have more company coming. I may be able to slow them down some but I won't be able to stop them completely."
Eldan keeps watch at the cave beyond this one.
"Which way are they coming from? We should continue through these caves, but if that's where they are, it might complicate things."
The party holds back, allowing their enemies more time to prepare.
"If they aren't going to come to us, lets go to them."
Giles advances toward the sounds with his blunderbuss at the ready.
Zigil follows Giles' lead.
In that case two rounds then we go.
The opening leads to an open, high-ceilinged, natural cavern with ledges and stairs carved into its walls. Embedded in a fifteen-foot-tall spire of centuries-old bones stands the skeleton of a massive armoured warrior. Though its flesh has long since rotted off its frame, the skeleton still stands proud and regal amid the trappings of battle and mounds of gleaming treasure. The skeleton’s battered halfplate and scarred helmet hint at its many battles, and the warlord’s hands are clenched around a massive stone hammer.
At the far end of the cavern, a pair of huge wolves guard the steps leading to a ledge where a tall, gangly, heavily-tattooed, blond half-orc stands with a flask in hand.
Slei shoots herself in the foot with her slingstaff.

The half-orc snarls, "You have meddled with me for the last time!"
He advances to the edge of the ledge and launches his flask towards Giles.
The missile arcs across the cavern and impacts on Giles, bursting into a ball of fire! The flames extend far enough to singe the rest of the party, except Eldan.
The alchemist then shouts in Orcish at the wolves, and one of them charges across the cavern.
Garm reflex save
"Get out of here Garm! Back down!"
Giles steps up and unloads his blunderbuss.
"Better fire this before it blows up!"
"Getting hot in here!"
Giles' bullet slams into the approaching dire wolf, as Garm backs warily away.
Eldan waits for the second dire wolf to close on the party and when it is within 40' of the front facing of the other dire wolf will cast Stone Call.
Stone Call = 6 + 4 = 10

As the other wolf charges forward, Eldan summons pebbles from the ceiling to shower down upon the pair. They are badly bruised, but still oncoming.
Grodar moves to -M-54 and attempts to punch the dire wolf.
"Perhaps this will help, Grodar." Zigil moves to L55 and casts bull strength on Grodar.
Slei steps to O59 and fires another sling bullet at the dire wolf.

The half-orc moves along the ridge to a better angle, and throws another bomb at Zigil.
The foremost wolf snaps at Grodar.
The wolf's jaws clamp on Grodar's leg and pull the brawler to the ground.
The flames on Giles continue to burn.
"Starting to get a bit singed, but the lad needs my help."
Giles drops his blunderbuss (and powder horn on his belt if a free action). He draws his sword as he moves forward to attack the wolf.
Giles manages to hit the wolf, but his blade fails to get through its thick hide to damage it.
Eldan casts Force Missile on the alchemist.
Force Missile = 4 + 1 = 5
The other Dire Wolf scrambles through the loose stones until it can reach Grodar.
Grodar gets to his feet and punches the wolf, hoping that the attack of opportunity misses.
Zigil decides to hide behind the wolf to avoid being hit by more alchemist's fire. She steps to K54 (if she can, otherwise K55), and strike at the wolf with her longsword.
,
Grodar struggles feebly in the wolf's jaws, while Zigil moves over and wounds the other wolf.
Slei moves up to N55 and draws her longsword.
The half-orc now has a new target in range, and hurls another bomb towards Slei.
Unfortunately for his goals, he badly misjudges the arc and the bomb explodes behind his lupine friends.
Giles and Zigil continue to burn merrily.
The first wolf continues snacking on Grodar, who is very badly hurt.
Giles swings at the wolf next to him.
"Dammit! Attack Garm, Attack!"
Garm moves into an available space and attacks.
