Not sure if the giants are using weapons with reach, but:
Reach Weapons: Glaives, guisarmes, lances, longspears, ranseurs, and whips are examples of reach weapons. A reach weapon is a melee weapon that allows its wielder to strike at targets that aren't adjacent to him. Most reach weapons double the wielder's natural reach, meaning that a typical Small or Medium wielder of such a weapon can attack a creature 10 feet away, but not a creature in an adjacent square. A typical Large character wielding a reach weapon of the appropriate size can attack a creature 15 or 20 feet away, but not adjacent creatures or creatures up to 10 feet away.
Ragnir is in the adjacent square to the giant. A gaff is a reach weapon.
Unless they are orge hooks, which I have aways thought of as gaff like.
By the way, squishy mage facing off against a giant. Help, anyone.
After Kaos attack I think there is chance we end up G2 this round. If Ulfgard survives 1 more round (and I hope Haskyll can do that happen) we have good chances of stopping G1 before he takes more than 1 attack on Anga, and with your mirror image I am sure we will be on time!

According to the Bestiary 2, the Gaff used by Marsh Giants are to be treated like a Flail, except they do piercing damage. Flails are not reach weapons. If anything, I possibly should have had the Marsh Giants take a five foot step back; which we can adjust.
The weapon in the Bestiary 2's art for the Marsh Giant is clearly not a polearm. It looks like the artist in the Giantslayer AP took some liberty.
Okay, just wanted to check since it says in the attack narrative that they're gaffs. That's why I asked for the clarification :D
No problem. When you made the point, I thought you were correct. I was not really familiar with the gaff. But the Bestiary 2's description cleared it up.
Yep, specific over general :D
@Ragnir - If you get a chance to post today, I will wrap up the Round this weekend. Thanks.
Sorry about the delay, my parents came into town somewhat unexpectedly for the weekend.
Map has been updated. I took some liberty with Ragnir thinking he would go after the next closest Twigjack after the second one was dispatched.

Sorry for any delays. I was just made a PM for a big project at work which is eating up almost all my time. I'll be posting at night, mostly now.
Will be offline the next 4 days. Please bot when necessary.
Back, give me a day to catch up and start posting. :)

Beginning this Thursday, I will be traveling through the next week. Postings will be spotty, if at all. Also, I will not have map functionality. So, I may depend on you for moving tokens on the map. Thanks.
Map is working fine with me.
One of the benefits of Google Slides over Google Drawing is there is an app you can use to modify the map through mobile devices!
Moving forward, drawing his longhammer Ulfgard hammers the left flying fae.
I am not familiar with Google Slides. I will check it out. Thanks.
It's not letting me post in gameplay
For the next week, I will be gone fishing. I don't know if I will have net access. So please bot me as necessary.
GM's, all info should be on my profile.
Sorry for my slow posts, but i just got a new job, and it has distracted me somewhat. Back on game now
Anga, welcome back. I have limited internet at present. Should be better Thursday.
Sorry for that brief absence. My Mother just bought a house here in WI, moving from CA and she needed us for emergency meetings to get things finalized, (house appraisal, inspection etc). I know it's been tough over the last bit, just bear with me, lots of upheaval (mostly good :D ) on this end. (also work blocked quite a bit of what I use to manage the game! grrrr...)
I am back, it will take me a bit of time to catch up, and begin posting again.
As mentioned above, I am starting a new job, and I have to do a whole stack of induction course. Thiese have been long and tiring (lots of looking at computer screens. Pls bot me at need, i'll post when I can. Should settle by next week.
Entangle spell.
If I am not mistaken, and please correct me if I am wrong, you make two saves in the first Round, and one every Round you end your turn in the area of affect, unless you are already Entangled.
Ingrahild moved just out of the area of affect at the end of her Round.
Has anyone heard from Anga? It has been a week since the last post.
Nope! In the game he leads he says he has the flu.
You could GMNPC him for this episode now. Identifieng is simple.
Apologies, but the flu has been very distracting, plus starting a new job
(Horrible timing). Hopefully starting to improve. Pls bot me if needed
The treasure is on the sheet, will try to get it distributed over the next couple of days.
However connections might be difficult, as I will be on my tablet, due to travelling.
I am more than good, it will do a great service to our goal without doubt :)
First question. What extra animal companion would you allow for a dwarf?
OF course... What do you think for animal companion? Wolf? Dog? Badger.
Wolf is fast and I could ride it. But a dwarf riding on a wolf....
Maybe our gm is generous and has some great dwarfish ideas.
Dire Boar? That maybe too big.
Wolf, Badger, Dog either will work. Your choice. You can say you came across it along the river shore near where the keelboat takes anchor on any of the five nights it will take to reach Redlake Fort.
Well actually a big boar could be cool. And stylish. How about a regular boar. Or a bear? I mean we were in a druid demiplane! There must be some animal companions LONGING for a nice friendly dwarf to adopt them!!!
Or reskin a wolf to something less problematic in citys... like a direfox or one of those REALLY Huge dogs. Like This one
Same stats as wolf, just more dwarfish. Orcs befriend wolfes, not dwarfes! HMM Mammoth rider... Ok not 2 points to craft weapons but 2 to handle animal
What about some kind of bird Ulfgard? They are less powerful compared to the options you are thinking, but given you are a ranger and multiclassed, your companion will be 5 levels behind the power level and will not resist in first line combat anyway.
A bird still can do some useful things you cannot do, like distract a far caster, go fetch a distant object, fly and in general anything that requires speed and/or reaching a generally unreachable target.
I think some of them might look pretty cool in a dwarf's arm/hand/shoulder :)
(A dwarf with a parrot? XD)
I thought of something I can ride. And the only option is a horse. And the idea of riding on a horse....
@Kaos - You need to pick a Dragon Type. I suggest Brass. They are CG fire breathers. The other CG Dragon Type is Copper. They spit acid.

Sorry about the delay. I was hit by a semi truck on Wed. I'm okay, a bit stiff and sore with an arm in a sling. My car? The whole drivers side looks like the villains car from James Bond. The lugs from the semi's front tire did a pretty good job of shredding the metal from the back door back.
