Seeing the giant might, Leira steps forward and raises a small reliquary in her hands praising protection to the gods "Belkzen will never be for the giants!"
A burst of energy envelopes everyone 20' around the girl with a protective holy aura.
The dragon casts a spell at Gallant. (ray of enfeeblement - DC15)
Thankful he only got hit once, Zavier nevertheless, steps around to get a flank with one of the others and tries to grapple again!
Dolgrym moves to try to get both the giant and the dragon within 30’ from him. If he cannot get both, he moves to at least get the dragon in range. He then casts Stormbolts and lightning exploded from his body.
Lightning Damage and the dragon is stunned one round.
Gallant will start attacking the Tyrrant.
Sid will cast a persistent slow on both the enemies. DC 22 will roll twice take the lower. If that fails on one or either he will cast a quickened slow.
Zavier just manages to grapple Volstus
Both Volstus and the dragon manage to avoid the worse of the stormbolts.
Gallant goes to turn and tears large chunks from Volstus who now looks in a very bad way indeed.
The dragon is slowed but Volstus manages to shake off the effect. Volstus then tries to break free of the grapple
With the party well protected and Zavier having control over the Tyrant, Leira jumps forward after the dragon walking in the air to reach it "For Trunau!!!"
She attempts a Dazing Assault attack against the dragon's temple.
If the falchion strikes, she does deliver the bestow curse in the spell storing blade to decrease the dragon's Constitution.
[i]Leira deals the dragon a mighty blow, but it manages to shake off the worst of the spell effects
In retaliation it attempts to bite Leira
Zavier grins as the big giant is unable to break out of his grip. Zavier goes to work, he whirls around the giant to sicken the giant and then uses his giant fist gauntlets to activate them and increase his damage!
Dolgrym moves and bashes the giant with his hammer.

Sid will have the Trumpet Archon cast heal on Zavier, for 140 HP of healing.
Sid will case Wave of Exhaustion on The Storm Tyrant (he is exhausted no save).
An exhausted character moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. After 1 hour of complete rest, an exhausted character becomes fatigued. A fatigued character becomes exhausted by doing something else that would normally cause fatigue.
That should make it easy for Zavier to grapple.
"Feel the weight of the yoke that you would put up on the neck of those you would enslave. Let that be your last feeling before you die."
Quickened Heroism for "Dolgrym".
With two blows Dolgyrm finishes off Volstus who goes limp in Zavier's hands.
He then turns his attention to the dragon, finishing it off with a mighty blow, if falls out of the sky and crashes to the ground.
Loot: 2 potions cure serious wounds
+2 red dragonhide banded mail
+2 thundering falcata
boots of the cat
orb of red dragonkind
"Yay!" Leira raises her falchion in a gesture of satisfaction as both enemies crash against the sinking fortress.
"We have conjured the menace!" her eyes open wide and shiny but full with tears "We have won!"
"I can't believe it. We did it. Dolgyrm you killed Dolgyrm Volstus. You may now become the most famous Dwarf in the world. More famous than the Steelhands. I can't believe we did it..."
"Dolgrym the Tyrant Slayer" Leira smiles also not believing the war with the giants is done.
She descends to the roof of the tower to pick the orb of red dragonkind "This should be the orb of dragon control Naximarra told us about... what we could do with this is grand..."

Zavier flexes, fully healed. Hah, did you see? He was not able to escape the hold!
He lands himself and claps Dolgrym on the back. Hah, that hammer will be legend with you!
Leira, you will be rememberd by Trunau and all Belkzen when you bring peace to orcs and humans. Then only fighting will be wrestling competitions!
Sid! Your magic is mighty and I thank you for helping me fight the Tyrant, uh... could you make me back to regular size please? Not fair for future opponents if I stay like this, or for future wife! Hah!
”I didn’t think any of us would live to tell the tale, to be honest with you lot. I’m not sure if any of you are in a rush, but I think we’re entitled to a few drinks this evening!”
Leira smiles "That would be great, Zavier. Perhaps now that the giants menace has been averted I have the time to explore the ancestors of my blood and maybe get to know the orc side of the family"
And then chuckles at the image of the giant Zavier and a possible wife, curious to know how the mighty woman might be.
"Yes, let's celebrate Dolgrym!" and turning back to Sid "What are your plans now? Can you bring us back to Trunau or some other city, Sid?"
"Zaiver, I would be happy to." With a wave of his, hand Zavier returns to his natural size. [b]"Liera, I hope that you can learn about the other half of yourself. As for plans, well...I first have to release Gallant's soul to pass on to the next life now that his business is finished. Then I will need to go back to my old life. Sid Keelik, or sidekick, before it was miss heard, does not seem like an appropriate name anymore. I guess, I should start going by Mavzir and not living in Gallant's shadow anymore."
Mavzir walks over to Gallant, "My dearest friend, thank you for sticking around a little longer."
Gallant looks at his little friend, then down to his four stone hands, "I failed to protect either of us the first time around, but we took care of each other this time around. I will miss you."
"I can summon you back whenever I want, so don't tempt me to keep you around. You deserve rest and peace." Mavzir waves his hand again, and Gallant changes from a gargoyle into a small dinosaur, then to a knight in gleaming fullplate before vanishing. Mavzir turns back to the group with a huge smile. I will take any of you anywhere you want to go.

After Mavzir teleports the heroes back to Trunau, Leira is eager to inform everyone their world is finally free of the giant menace. She does celebrate having a drinking contest with Dolgrym and Zavier in the Longhose.
The Trunau girl spends a few months with her family. Her half-sister Sarah has become a ground up woman and she has taken the reins of their mother’s magical shop. Erik has advanced to the ranks of Captain of Trunau’s guard after Rodrik Grath’s death. He and Kurst have good plans to reinforce the village defenses.
Things are good, but Leira is just not the same she once was. She spends more and more time visiting the tomb of her mother Aliana who died during Trunau’s siege, and she increasingly feels she does not belong here anymore. In time, Leira decides to look for her own identity.
Now a woman, she looks for the roots of her father’s family, her grandmother Leira Shaynanti and her half-orc father Olog. Following Droja’s divinations, she traces back her line to the Black Sun orc tribe. Her grandfather, the mighty shaman Blork Thuul is no more. But after a brutal fight in which Leira’s orcish blood magic is clearly recognized, enlarging to a giant size and bursting fire around, she defeats the current leader, her cousin Krun Thuul.
Accepted into the tribe, Leira takes Krun for a partner and together they strengthen the position of the Dark Sun tribe, ensuring a durable peace between Trunau and the orcs. Joining forces to fight the orc-hating New Sun Avengers of Lastwall who killed her father, Leira and Krun are unexpectedly faced with the collapse of Lastwall itself in 4719 AR.
Founding a large saga of strong half-orcs, Leira continued her fight, joining the forces of orcs and humans to fight together against the prowling undead armies of Tar-Baphon, stopping them before they could set a foot in Belkzen. Even today, it is not rare to spot the towering figure of a giant blond woman of orcish blood sweeping the undead hordes in the battlefield with fire and falchion, holding the new line that, to great sacrifice, confines the not-dead ones in the Gravelands.
