grobral seeing his friends injured runs in to assist, full move twards athos
Aram sees the horrendous damage Athos endured and wonders at his survival. He flies toward his companion and channels positive energy to heal some of his wounds. (5d6 (21) +6 Cha bonus).
Grobral manages to climb over and slide between boulders so that he covers 20' toward the others. Celegon peppers his giant target causing the beast to howl in pain. Glimwick's magic missiles kill the giant to Padraig's left.
curb stomp the giant at my feet, then channel ki to heal myself
rolls on roll 20
Athos withdraws from the invisible creature in the direction of Aram. As he moves across the battlefield he pulls a potion of cure moderate wounds and drinks it. Padraig kicks the giant once and it bellows in pain. He kicks it again and it stops moving.
Aram, Athos or Padraig making a DC 25 Perception check (howling giant) can hear the invisible thing cast a spell.
The one remaining giant runs south.
The spell reveals nothing.
padraig perception 38
padraig sees the witcher looking around unsure of where to strike, having heard the caster he points and shouts right there hit him there, so he drops a holy smite down 10 ft north of padraig (or to whereever he pointed) rolls on roll 20
Holy smite is a 20' radius burst, I moved the square provided by jeff. The squares are 10' across.
SR check needed, DC 21
I see you now witch, Padraig moves to grapple her
1st attempt 25, second 27-5?, third 38-10?
Aram drops from the sky and uses his lay on hands ability (heal 25) on Athos. Athos then bolts across the area and charges (needed to get there, +2 to hit, -2 AC) Kahina. He drives his rapier into her for 46 pts of dmg and 4 fire.
Kahina withdraws 80' (20' back and 60' up).
Padraig delays his action while waiting for Athos.
Celegon's first shot skips off Kahina's scales and the others miss. Glimwick is successful and she begins to sink.
The team moves south back toward the frozen mire. There on the banks of the cold marshland they use a wand to cast protection from elements, setup their tents back in the foliage and soon find restful sleep (with a rotating watch of course).
Due to their disturbed evening, they sleep in a bit. By mid-morning, they are awake, dressed and ready to move out.

Celegon casts Communal Phantom Steed and has everyone mount up to head back to the start of the trail. Hopefully this time they can make it in without being detected. Even from a good distance away, he gets everyone to pull in close and casts Invisibility Sphere so they will be undetectable.
"Alright, we should be able to make it in there this time without being seen. Once we head over the glacier, remember to beware the phantasms that we saw below us."
The team makes it to the fort guarding the mouth of the valley. The birdman guards can still be seen there. The team remains undetected, how and where do you proceed?
The team flies back over the city toward their last location. This time, they fly straight over the city and avoid the glacier covered in undead. In a large open area (marked G on the map) there is a large diverse camp of giants (Prof Soldier check to estimate numbers). Further north, about halfway across the artisan district, you see three cloud giants swatting a floating ball back and forth. Then you realize the ball is a chubby humanoid with spindly limbs. It grunts each time it is smacked from one giant to another.
[B] We can ride through on our phantom steeds while invisible and nab him.

Celegon voices his agreement with the plan. "If we can get close enough to him, I can hit him with Feather Fall while he is in the air and we can grab him and hit him with Invisibility as well."
He does frown at Glimwick though, "I'm not sure what we'll do if he decides to attack us. It would probably be wise to have Comprehend Languages or something else active to ensure we can communicate our intentions to him."

Celegon directs the horses down and tries to predict where the creature will be launched and casts Comprehend Languages on himself. Once it comes close to them, he hits it with Feather Fall and they move over to catch it and Glimwick hits it with Invisibility.
If it speaks, Celegon will attempt Linguistics to determine what language it is speaking if it is not one that he knows.
been super busy. sorry for the late post. I am in agreement lets save the guy.
When Celegon grabs the spindly guy he hears the thing say, "oh, by all that is merciful in the dark, thank you."
As for the cloud giants they look confused and a little irritated. One of them looks at the last to swat the creature, "Louis, you hit it too hard and popped it."
The one called Louis shakes his head, "It just disappeared. I think it went invisible."
"Can they do that? I didn't think they could do that." the third giant said.
Louis considered the question again, "I don't know what all they can do but if it could turn invisible, why didn't it do it when we first cornered it. No, I think something else is about." As he finishes speaking he begins looking around as do the other two giants.
The witcher says in a hushed tone "we will take you to your friends and family if you tell us the way but the giants wise to us so I think for now we should quietly go."

Celegon spots a building not too far from one of the giants and in its line of sight. He glances at where the invisible odd creature should be in front of him on his steed and puts a single finger up against his lips as he tries to recall as many details about it as he can. He casts Silent Image in a large area where one of the giants is glancing. He creates the image of the creature sliding out of invisibility and running quickly around the side of the building, making sure the giant sees it. He attempts to make the illusory creature run just slow enough with a gimp that at least one other giant spots it before making it vanish around a corner. If all goes well, he waves with his hand to the others as the take their phantom steeds over to the roof of another building while staying as silent as possible inside of the invisibility sphere.
The original accusatory giant sees the image go around the corner. The giant points and says, "Louis, there it goes around the corner."
Louis turns and just sees the last part of the image disappear around the corner. "Oh no you don't. It won't be that easy." After saying this he moves after the image. The other two follow.
The team slips away. Then they...
after moving to safety padraig will question the creature to get a feeling for what it is, where its from, and why/how he found himself the plaything of three giants

Celegon watches the spindly creature's reaction to Padraig's question to see if it is able to give an answer or even if it understands the question. If it is unable to, Celegon casts Voluminous Vocabulary to give the creature the ability to communicate in Common for 8 hours. With a Spellcraft check (23 against DC=15) he also imparts Thassilonian to the creature.
He then asks the creature, "Can you understand us now?" and gives a recap of the questions.
When Celegon grabs the spindly guy he hears the thing say, "oh, by all that is merciful in the dark, thank you."
it speaks common
When the creature spoke it used Thassilonian. Since it cannot answer Padraig's question right away the Voluminous Vocabulary spell gets dropped and suddenly we have communication.
"Thank you kind sirs. My name is Morgiv. I am one of the spared." The lanky armed creature says in Thassilonian/Common (I assume the spell changes its words as necessary). "I have been trying to find you. I saw what you did to the giants and lamias. You are the foretold."
The heroes obviously ask foretold to do what? And so Morgiv continues, "Our great priestess who founded our colony foretold of a time when the Spared would be enslaved again and that great warriors like those in the old pictures would come to rescue us. You are the great warriors and we are enslaved. Please come with so that you may unenslave us."
Initiative order: Athos, Celegon, Grobral, Beast, Aram, Glimwick, Skulks, Padraig
Skulks just attacked Grobral. Need a FOR saving throw DC 15.
Next up Padraig.
grobral succeeds in his save, Padraig moves through them to flank then ki throws the lower one into the same spot swift action moves into a grapple. Damage added just in case, no modifiers on roll 20
Grobral takes a five foot step back and casts holy word, not sure if this will destroy them but it might. range is 40 ft radius so it'll get the big guy as well
