"These are the strongest giants yet. Yaoguai are hard to hit with spells. Zavier do you think you can grapple it?"

Only one way to find out! Zavier says, but he sounds very confident as he cracks his knuckles.

Are you going to attack?

Zavier votes yes!

”Lets do it!”

"For Golarion."

You can all have a surprise round action

Leira charges in with her falchion high to open up space with her weapon.

Zavier rushes forward with his giant form and 10 foot reach to grapple the closest cloud giant.

Grapple giant: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (15) + 40 = 55

Dolgrym runs forward and attacks with the magical hammer.

Attack 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38

Damage 4d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 5) + 10 = 26

Leira leaps into battle, swinging her falchion at the nearest cloud giant and striking a mighty blow, Zavier then grapples it before Dolgrym pounds it with his hammer.

Sid/Gallant, your action.

Gallant will dive-bomb one of the cloud giants.

Attack Bite BSP: 1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 24 + 2 = 31
Damge: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

Sid will cast confusion (DC 26 Will) on the back cloud giant and two monsterous creatures.

SR: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
SR: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36

[i]Gallant deals a mighty blow on the cloud giant that Leira had been attacking.

Yaoguai will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Yaoguai will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

cloud giant will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Sid initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Zavier initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Dolgrym initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Leira initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Leira initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Leira initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

cloud giant initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

yaoguai initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9

Initiative order:
Block 1: Zavier and Leira and Sid
Block 2: Cloud giants and Yaoguai
Block 3: Dolgrym
So Block 1, your actions.

Remember Hunters' blessing gives you +2 on the attacks to the giants!

Leira further steps up to keep attacking the giant "Let's bring this one down before they react and start hitting us!"

Sid will delay.

Leira deals the cloud giant a mighty blow, and then Zavier smashes it into the floor, finishing it off.

Gallant moves across and starts attacking a second giant, tearing huge chunks out of his flesh.

The cloud giants move across to attack Gallant, meanwhile one of the Yaoguai moves across to attack Leira

Dolgrym's hammer smashes into the nearest yaoguai and it howls in pain.

Block 1, back to you.

Leira blocks the attack with her falchion and then spins it to create an opening and attack back "Ha, the time of the Storm Tyrant has come to an end!"

Zavier moves to the nearest unattended giant and grabs it!

Grapple Giant: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (14) + 40 = 54

Leira sopins and with two blows finishes off the yaoguai.

The remaining yaoguai moves up to attack Zavier, but misses.

Dolgrym moves across and strikes the nearest Yaoguai dealing some significant damage.

Block 1, back to you.

Grinning as the giant makes a pretty good, but not quite good enough, attempt to break out of Zavier's hold. Zavier proceeds to pin the giant down and smack him around a bit.

Zavier pounds the giant several times, it is still there but only just.

Leira finishes off the yaoguai.

Sorry for my absence, busy schedule at work

Gallant tears and bites the remaing giant finishing it off.

What would you like to do next?

"Swift!" exclaims Leira while watching for any incoming danger the fight might have called "It seems we are in the Fortress now"

After a quick search in the area, the girl directs herself to the southern doors.
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

"Ok, what is the plan now?" after opening the doors she moves to the next rooms. F4b and F10b

"Room by room I think. If we can talk people into leaving or free some slaves as we have in the past let's do it but I think it is kill and hide until we get to the top."

F4: This square room contains steel shelves laden with enormous boulders. A round stone table holding oversized stonemasonry tools sits in the corner across the entrance. A large metal tray like a palanquin lies on the floor in the opposite corner.

"It seems a workshop for a stone cutter or something" Leira inspects the room searching and also with detect magic.
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

"I wonder what is the palanquin for" she tries to move the stuff.

Nothing detects as magical.

The rocks appear to be boulders which are shaped using the tools on the bench, presumably these are then used for some kind of siege engine. You surmise that the palanquin is used to transport them. They are huge enough that it would probably take 2 giants to carry the rocks.

"Weapons of war. Likely to rain down hell on the villages below. I think we can leave these for now, but it is good to understand their plan."

Yah, take out big boss first. Zavier agrees.

I believe you were heading to F10b next?

Several stacks of spare building material-stone blocks, timber, ceramic tiles, and roof shingles-have been piled near the walls of this large chamber. In this room are 4 giant skeletal creatures with a tangle of discoloured entrails clinging to their torso and winds upward to loll from their jaws like a clawed tongue.

Knowledge religion

Dolgrym didn’t recognize anything in the room the group just entered.

Is not nice, very bad. Zavier grouses.

"We can maybe throw the boulders down. In case we perish, at least they have less ammo to fight our people" Leira halts as she sees the skeletons in the new room.
K. religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

"Hold a second Dolgrym, these are not just remains of some bodies" Leira blocks passage to protect her companions "These are actual undead!"

With those words, she prepares herself for battle casting shield of faith.

"These look familiar."

Sid you recognise these creatures as Mohrgs. They have the grab ability and their tongue does a touch attack that causes paralysis. Anyone killed by a mohrg becomes a fast zombie under their control

Sorry there's not much info to provide on them

The mohrgs move forward to attack Zavier and Leira

And on to you guys

Leira nods back at Sid. Feeling herself well protected from grab and paralysis by her freedom of movement she just swings her blade at the first undead monstrosity "Back to the tomb you came from monster!"

Zavier gets smacked for a lot of pain and is actually farily surprised to find himself grappled!

CMB Grapple Take Control: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (4) + 31 = 35

If that works and he is in charge of the grapple. He immediately tries to pin the Mohrg and smack him about in turn.

CMB Grapple Pin: 1d20 + 31 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 31 + 5 = 37
CMB Grapple Pin: 1d20 + 31 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 31 + 5 - 5 = 37

So since second failed he just takes control and pins the Mohrg on his turn

Question: if I cast Freedom of Movement on Zavier, would that interfere with his own grappling abilities?
