Ali has learned her lesson from before..."don't rush in first." But this is not like before; she has protective spells in place, and the rest of the crew is ready with missiles & magic. Vojtek is bravely standing against both giants, and she will not stand back firing arrows when she COULD be charging her sword with much mightier magic and helping him stay alive.
Nodding to herself, she takes advantage of the fact that one of the giants has swung on Kappi. She draws her sword while moving in, accepting the swing from the other giant.
One of her images winks out, and she grins, blowing the giant a kiss.
She then plants her feet standing shoulder to shoulder with the barbarian. Her hand passes over her blade, and blue-black magic courses up the weapon. With a screech of defiance, she then swings at Blue.
The swing is solid, but barely nicks the giant's thigh...but the magical energy courses up its leg, feeding into its belly, then pulses back into a wave of energy that courses up the elf's arms.
NOW we'll take these things down, barbarian!!
Ali's strike lands and the negative energy courses through Blue, who looks stricken to the bone...but somehow does not yet fall!
Blue rears back to give Ali everything they have left!
Blue lands a blow on the real Ali, the greataxe slicing through her side with tremendous force! The dark bubble of health sapped from Blue vanishes almost as quickly as it arrived!
Meanwhile, Green takes their shots at Vojtek!
Green catches Votjek on his shoulder, the blade tearing through skin and sinew!

Ali grunts in surprise at the hit. You're a lucky little b1tch, aren't you??
She calls upon her inner reserves, and her blade bursts into flames
<--4 is fire
<--6 is fire
If any of these strikes end Blue, 5' step directly south. If the first drops Blue, 5' step & second targets green.
Round the Third
Vojtek slashes indiscriminately, steel and teeth are thrown into gruesome service with abandon. The giant's blood in his mouth and his own blood flowing freely down his arm combine to heighten his insane bloodlust as he attacks the giant yet again!

Ali's first blow staggers Blue, but her blade falls short on its follow-ups. Vojtek manages to bring Blue down with his first swing and steps forward through the red haze in his mind, though only his teeth find purchase on Green!

Ali — fiery sword

Vojtek — raging full attack

Round 3
Still bleeding and slightly in shock from the horrific wound the giant dished out, Kappi moves into the doorway.
He hurls his favorite tomahawk at the still living giant.

As the primordial growling scream pierced Ed's ears, he knew the plan had changed. His Barbarian was angry, and wasn't going to leave the room.
Ed's hastened movement allowed him to round the corner under the floating witch with ease. The long bow snapped into firing position as he felt the healing energy leaving his body. Ed calmed his breathing, and the arrow left his cheek as soon as the firing position was complete.
The arrow was heading true, the giants eyes were focused on the arrow head about ready to pierce it's eye, when it was deflected by the raging barbarian's axe.

Davosh cackles maniacally. "Company is coming!" The Speaker to Ancients then grabs his left supinated wrist with his right hand. He wiggles his fingers as his Big Eye opens. A field of writhing black, rubbery tentacles erupts from the floor!
The tentacles miss their mark, but the field is difficult to maneuver, even for a frost giant.

As Ali shuffles forward to engage the last giant, she waves her hand over her blade again, and it explodes into even fiercer flames!

No one but Ali has much luck with Green this time around, but the elf's blade does land a blow!
Green launches a full assault on Vojtek!
Desna smiles on Green this time, hewing into the Northman's flesh!

The tentacles continue to trash about the giant
, but it's little more than an annoyance.
Davosh continues to cackle, and stares hard, further hexing the giant!
finally, Davosh sends Liska forth, just a bit, just to the edge of the giant's reach.

The magus is about to continue slicing into the giant--but decides instead to take advantage of Ojos Loco's hex! Her hand flashes forward and up, and white lights sparkle at the giant's head.
Green looks fabulous, but unblinded!
One of Edward's arrows lands!
The hex does not stick long-term!

Round 4
With one giant down Kappi becomes a little more brave. Knowing he can do more damage with his magic sword he draws as he plunges forward. Aware of the long reach of the giant the Varisian moves in curving, arcing, darting, lines and angles. It is vaguely reminiscent of the Varisian dances but there is just something about Kappi’s movements that make it look horribly awkward and twitchy.

Round the Fourth
The enormous strength of the Giant's first blow drives Vojtek to his knees involuntarily, and the Northman is nearly crushed beneath the massive axe. Its dull and chipped blade sprays gore as the giant wrenches it out of Vojtek's shoulder muscle to line up another swing.
Davosh's eye sparks with bedevilment and the faintest whiff of burnt ozone trails behind the swinging axe. Where it might have cloven Vojtek in twain, its edge instead merely brushed against his gaping shoulder wound before clanging into the stone floor.
The giant is taken aback that the little man yet lives, and feels the bite of Vojtek's own axe and teeth as the barbarian counters. Vojtek leaps to his feet, head swimming with pain and fury, and launches into a series of axe attacks of his own, punctuated by his signature gnashing teeth!

Vojtek flurriously hacks into and bites at Green, who nevertheless withstands the onslaught!
Kappi nimbly avoids the giant's swing at his head as he ducks out of the way and lands a blow with his shortsword right in Green's heart. Blood gushes forth as the frost giant crumples to the floor in a lifeless heap!
A quick check of the bodies reveals only mundane, Large-sized equipment.
"It's dark in there, unnaturally so. There WAS something coming, but all is silent. I think our element of surprise is gone. We've got to push. Quickly now, how is injured?"
with Life Link running, by the time Vojtek is healed, that's enough time for Ali to be fully healed as well.
Sorry, I didn't prepare any light spells today.

Davosh slaps his chest with both hands and then begins to cast a spell at the darkness! [b]"I'll undo the threads of magic as my brothers and sister undo your life!
Davosh's dispel is successful, and the supernatural darkness vanishes!
Beyond the door lies a vast chamber, so large that the opposing walls cannot be seen from your vantage point.
Ali applies another charge from her Shield wand, then walks carefully to the barricade, waiting for Vojtek to rake point

BLESS is still in effect
After Ed swats Vojtek the second time on the rump, Vojtek feels the spring in his step, and takes point while the redhead waits.
I was considering having Kappi do awkward acrobatics into the room. He has evasion and a good reflex save.
The Varisian rogue bounces lightly on the balls of his feet. He holds his sh sword and his favorite tomahawk in his left. He glances at the others and is a heartbeat away from rushing into the next room to spring whatever trap awaits.
The rogue starts to sprint through the door and half way thru he remembers to use “evasive action”. It looks like he may have tripped but manages a roll and a very ungainly round off and then he is back on his feet...
Acrobatics
To the southeast in this vast cavern, the ceiling of which rises some fifty feet above, a ring of towering black basalt menhirs surround a great gaping pit torn into the cavern floor. Spiraling runes etched in white chalk cover the faces of the standing stones, which are painted with fresh blood. The bodies of two frost giants lie on the floor outside the ring. A border of countless skulls, both human and animal, surrounds the pit. A break in the border forms an entrance leading to the edge of the pit. There, a flight of stone steps carved into the perimeter descends into the abyss. The air above the pit seems to waver and ripple as if from heat.
As Kappi springs into the cavern, a ferocious roar can be heard, along with some muttered words in Giantish, this last emerging from a tremendously muscled centaur with a wicked-looking hammer. The roar comes from a hulking creature with the lower body of a massive stallion with eight thick legs, with the trunk of a muscled humanoid with icy blue skin and a prodigious white beard rimed with ice and piercing blue eyes glaring from beneath beetled brows and a spiraling pair of horns which curl upward.
The centaur points at Kappi, but doesn't appear to be doing anything else, almost as if he is waiting...

The Varisian rogue looks a little nervous at the mighty foe. Kappi giggles for the tiniest moment thinking it looks like the offspring of a centaur and Sleipnir.
Then he darts to the side and hurls a precious alchemical fire.

The fire is very effective, but the svathurim does not ignite!
Bellowing with rage, the monstrous humanoid steps forward and gives Kappi his undivided attention!
Kappi falls to the floor under the svathurim's onslaught!

Ali gasps at seeing Kappi taken down with such violence, but she bites down on the gasp & keeps her head. She calls up on her arcane reserves , and steps a little closer. She holds her left hand up in an arcane claw, ready to cast her spell as soon as Edward moves closer...
ED! Come next to me if you want to be Hastened! Or else tell me to cast it now...
Davosh's gaze intensifies. He continues to will misfortune into the massive monster!
