Unfortunately Leira's spell fails to push the giant into the pit.
Sid is going to start casting a spell (will activate round one).
Gallant moves to a position for a push (will happen next round).
Zavier already moved.
Dolgrym moves to he could engage the enemies in the next round.
Zavier yells and charges the closest giant ending his run with a resouding shoulder check to knock the giant into the pit.
Gallant also tries for a bull rush on the next giant.
Sid move and attempts to dominate the orange giant (DC 23 Will).
[i]Before they have the chance to react both Zavier and Gallant knock the giants into the refuse pit.
The remaining fore giant manages to shake off the effects of the Sid's spell.
The two in the pit spend a round trying to climb out of the pit. The orange fire giant moves towards Sid and attacks.
"Oh Sid! Caution!" unable to do more Leira runs towards Sid trying to put herself between the little ratfolk and the Otyguth.
Puffing deep breaths for the long run effort, the girl has no time left for other than casting cold ice strike on the fire giant.
Troll Dolgrym moves to engage the fire giant.
Attack
Damage
The fire giant screams as the blast of cold air hits it. The next minute it is struck by Dolgym's claw attack.
Sid will turn into an earth elemental and 5ft step into the ground.
Gallant will fly over and attack the giant.
[i]Gallant tears into the fire giant to the north
The fire giant to the north tries to attack Gallant.
To the west the second fire giant tries to attack Zavier
Seeing his foe glide into the earth the third fire giant turns his attention to the troll.
"Where is the dragon? Answer or you will suffer a terrible end giant!" Leira slashes with her falchion from side to side.
Troll Dolgrym swings his hammer twice at the giant.

Getting smacked Convinces Zavier that it's time to attack himself.
Between Leira and Dolgrym's blow the giant near Sid is torn to shreds.
With a series of blows Zavier pounds the fire giant in front of him. It is still there but only just.
Sid delays.
Gallant tries to finish off the giant as quickly as possible.
----------------------------------------------------
[i]Gallant tears into the fire giant in front of him, tearing it into pieces.
The fire giant attacks Zavier
The other giant attacks Leira again
Leira takes the first hit with pain "Ouch! You are no moron" while she tries to give back at the giant "You do not want to tell where is the dragon? You will suffer then!"
"Where do these tunnels to the north lead? Where does the one to the south?"
Before the giant can answer Leira slices the giant in two in her fury.
Troll Dolgrym swings his hammer twice more at the giant.

Zavier keeps pounding.
Gallant will fly over and attack the last giant.
Between Zavier's punches and Gallant tearing into it the remaining giant is no more and falls backwards into the pit.
Loot: 3 giant sizeed greatswords
"Is everyone ok?" Leira heals her wounds with the wand, then looks to do same with others.
"This is literally a giant sewer" says Leira covering her nostrils with two fingers, which gives her voice a funny clown pitch "According to the slaves these were only the lowest of the giants. The elite ones are to be found at the Grinder. And we still have to find King Tytarian and Queen Quivixia, and the old magma dragon Tesharat"
Looking around Leira points to the north "They must be deeper into the volcano, so let's take that way"
Zavier VERY hurt! the big man complains.
He swigs the one potion of CLW he's been carrying around forever.
Then dips into the wands.
”Remind me tomorrow, Zavier and I will memorize a casting of Barkskin for you,” Troll Dolgrym grunts.
"I will try to remind Dolgrym. I don't have a lot of defensive spells that I can cast on you. The next time I head to Absalom I will learn displacement. That should help."
"Magic does not last much on this long tunnels. I would give you shield of faith otherwise Zavier" explains Leira "I can though improve your armor making it magic"
The young girl approaches to Zavier and touches the well sculpted torso of the warrior casting magic vestment on his chain shirt.
"We should also make use of the equipment we found" if no one else wants it, Leira will put the cold resistance ring we found around her finger.
Once done, Leira directs the group forward north.
This rough natural cavern is lit by magical light and has tunnel exits to the southwest, northwest and northeast. Stair like natural ridges climb towards the northeast exit, which is blocked by a pair of large iron doors. Near the north-eastern exit, stout wooden beams hammered in place with iron spikes support a cracked ceiling. An elevated area takes up much of the southern wall, with a smooth-hewn area beyond it.
"No giants here?" Leira looks to one side and the other "Suspicious..."
She tries to climb to the ledge and check the left doors "Hei boys, what do you plan to do after we finish dealing with the giants? Are you going to Trunau or you plan to continue your wandering days?"
If it seems calm, she just opens the door.
Zavier lives in the moment. But would continue to fight. I stopped fighting once when I got bored of it at home. Then I started to drink too much. Hah. My mother sent me out to find bigger things to fight! Will definitely go home for visit though.
”I haven’t even thought that far ahead. I assume all of us will get smashed by a giant at some point, to be honest. Maybe it’d be nice to find a comfy cabin to pass some time in one day, you know...”
"Ummmmm. I'm going to try and figure out what to do with Gallant's soul. I think he would want to finish his mission that is why we are here. But, after that, I have some very intense research to do."
Looking at the ceiling, "That looks like a trap. If we go past that our exit could be cut off from non-magical means."
"You are helping me finish my mission Sid, but can you not make me a little more handsome and a lot less stony. That being said this body is highly capable."
Leira, you notice two things, firstly there is a weak spot in the ceiling which if collapsed which if collapsed would completely block off this area, meaning that the barracks which are likely to contain hundreds of giants would be barred from reaching the rest of the complex.
Secondly within what you can now see is a basic form of guard post you can hear the regimented marching of 3 giant figures.
Leira smiles at Zavier "After this your visit to your mom will be safe, she will hardly have the chance to find you bigger stuff to fight"
The girl chuckles with Dolgrym's honesty "The giants are certainly larger and uglier as we advance through their ranks, but let's hope we manage to keep dodging their oversized clubs"
And nods to Sid "Indeed, I spot a weak area in the ceiling. Making it collapse will also mean all the remaining giants in the barracks cannot follow us deeper in the complex" Leira gives then a mischievous smile to Sid "Thing is you have those teleportation magics but they do not."
Looking up she adds "I think I can probably make it safely collapse to cut off the giants. Also there is at least 3 giant at that post" Leira points where she spot the giants.
"I propose we got through the doors at the north-east. Those doors must lead to our destiny by the look of them. I can then try to collapse the beams without everything falling over us"
"I'm happy to cut them off. With your silence, we could really minimize giants in other directions hearing. Then we can come back teleport and deal with them if we so choose."
Once everyone is at the other side of the room and heading the tunnel northeast, Leira casts silence on the beams, advised by Sid, and will try better to sabotage the beams so they give her time to retreat rather than outright breaking them.
Otherwise she uses her strength to break it.
If needed, she casts shield of wings to help herself fly to the ceiling.
"If you need some to fly who is strong, Galant can help.
Gallant will pull.
Troll strengthed Dolgrym should be able to basically autoassist a roll with his power.
Same with Zavier.
