Ulfgard, as a blessing, adds a bit of protection.
As the door opens, Ragnir eyes a very large Frost Giant about to throw what looks like a pelvic bone from a deer at one of the Hill Giants. He cast a Hold Person on this very large blue-skinned creature.
The first Frost Giant becomes paralyzed pelvic bone still in hand.
Haskyll touches each member of the party and provides them protection against the cold.

Droja will begin to summon in some help guarding the approaches.
Round One
Ulfgard moves toward the first ogre and attacks him with a wicked bash.
Leira shots her crossbow at the fourth giant trying to finish him fast.
Profiting her haste, Leira moves past Kaos at a distance she can properly aim to vitals and casts a spell that she thinks it would help after observing how effective the fireball resulted.
Haskyll moves out towards the Blue Buggers.
Lets see how you like fire you oversized buggers.
He then presents his holy symbol to bring down fire upon both of the Giants caught by the fireball.
In Torags Name BURN!!!!!

Droja finishes her summoning by bringing in an old friend. The Fire Elemental Ignan appears forty-five feet from where Droja began to cast her spell, near both Leira and Haskyll. The Fire Elemental then moves to slam against the flat-footed second Frost Giant. But even flat-footed Frost Giants are formidable and the Fire Elemental was unable to damage the big blue humanoid.
Droja then moves out into the massive room.
Some burns appear on Leira's face when Haskyll raises Torag's symbol "Ah! It pains! What is that burn?!"

Kaos bulstered by magical speed dive at frost giant 1.
[Dice=gorum's thorn] 1d20+13+1;2d6+16
Sorry I couldn’t see the map well I meant the other one. Frost giant 2.
I was being dense I reread Haskyll’s post and see he was casting a holy smite that should only have a 20 foot spread so Liera should be safe and I believe Haskyll would get 4d8 instead of three please correct me if I’m wrong.
Leira had just a strange reflex, but she is ok under Haskyll's protection.

Surprise Round Complete

Anga is heroic.
Droja summons in her friend and sends it toward the second Frost Giant. The Frost Giant falls about the time it arrives. Ignan's move over the second Frost Giant kills the big blue menace.
Now in a near panic, the fifth Ogre takes its club and swings at the comparable-sized Dwarf. It strikes Ulfgard squarely with its shaped tree trunk.
The sixth Ogre, in mid-pee, comes out of the privy, still leaking from its previous activity. It had left its greatclub at the table and moves to retrieve it, giving Ulfgard an opportunity to react against this sixth Ogre.
The first Frost Giant continues to be held.
Anga's Round One and Everyone's Round Two
"Ulfgard is surrounded! He needs help! I can charge myself of the held one" Leira gulps "With Droja's help perhaps" then moves over at haste, holding the crossbow in one hand and drawing her magical shortsword in the other.
The girl channels arcane magic in the sword and tries to hit the remaining Frost Giant in a vital spot.
Then, Leira readies herself to coup-de-grace next the creature if it survives still held the next few seconds.
Ulfgard yells in glee and starts to attacks ogre 4
Haskyll looking to see that Liera has the last giant in hand, runs hard to the south to try and get in to help Ulfgard.
You overly large tub, you should had at least waited for the rest of us.

As a peeing Ogre runs past, Ulfgard clobbers it with Agrimmosh. The Ogre staggers but does not fall.

The fourth one is actually a Hill Giant that Ulfgard simply pounded on and dropped unconscious.

Droja points toward the last standing Frost Giant. Ignan slams into the held creature. Even held the Frost Giant avoids the flames
Droja runs to engage the held Frost Giant, spear in hand.
It may have miraculous avoided the fire damage in its current condition. There was no miracle though to free itself from its held state.

Although disgusted for some reason, Leira commits to finnish the job as promised to Kaos.
Taking a five foot step Ulfgard attacks the hillgiant.

Leira fires an arrow into the Frost Giants head. The held Frost Giant receives a quick death.
Ulfgard takes a step, stumbles a bit, but recovers enough to deal a fatal blow to the last standing Hill Giant.
The rest of the party makes sure the Giants and Ogres stay dead.
Victory!
As Ulfgard returns to his normal size, and Droja bids Ignan farewell again, another Giant appears from a set of double-doors on the northwest wall of this massive room.
This giant looks unlike the others. First it is female. Soot, ash, and coal dust streak this giant’s rust-colored skin. Her eyes hold a look of both determination and detachment. Her hands are held up in a cautionary stance. She is not holding a weapon, though a massive Warhammer is at her side. She glances at the exits, then briefly toward Haskyll. Finally, she stares at Ulfgard. And then in a clear Common with just a slight Giant accent she says, "You wield the Hammer of Unmaking. You must be favored. My Mistress is sure to want to meet you."
Agreed, we might be wanting to meet her, but please if you will give us a few moments to catch our breath
Haskyll is visibly agitated, but under control.
standing where he can get the party, but not the Giants or Ogres.
Leira saves her magical shortsword and reloads her heavy giant bane crossbow. When the giantess appears she tells Kaos "I do not trust her. It might be a rouse."
The young girl seems ok, without need of healing, but plenty of blood splits around her clothes "Why do you know the Hammer of Unmaking and what does your Mistress have to do with the Whispering Tyran?"
Leira does not sense anything deceptive about this Giant.
The Giantess looks back toward her right, "We must be quick before others come. My Mistress has nothing to do with the Storm Tyrant. She is the Keeper of the Forge, and knows its secrets. But I know Agrimmosh when I see it. It is Minderhal's hammer. Used to forge the first Giant in ancient times."
She nervously looks about. "We must hurry. Follow me."
The Giantess moves to a pair of double doors on the Southwest side of the room opposite the room from where she first entered.
"I guess we can give it a chance. What you others think?" Convinced by the giantess, Leira moves behind, paying attention to anything weird or out of place.
Sighing Ulfgard shrugs."I do not trust her, but first someone should heal me!"

Droja touches the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian, "Here brave warrior."
"Hmmm. That wound is deep. Here is some more."
"That is better."
Aye, let's go. But be wary. The agenda of this one may nay be ours.
Anga quickly casts a detect magic, and scans the fallen for magic. Then she'll follow along
Anga will not find anything on the dead Giants and Ogres that radiate magic.
The Giantess will then lead the party through one set of double-doors to another set of double doors. She motions to the party to wait as she moves through this second set of double doors. Beyond this set of doors the cathedral opens into a huge amphitheater. Three tiers of curved stone benches are arranged in immense horseshoes around the chamber’s centerpiece, a great pit filled with cold black slag. From the middle of the slag pit rises a wide, round platform of black basalt. A great forge, its fire gone cold, sits in the center of the platform, along with a massive iron anvil the size of a cow. The soot-stained ceiling arches far above the chamber floor. A bridge of stone connects the platform to a dais at the rear of the hall, where a towering statue of a stone giant ominously overlooks the entire cathedral.
There are currently no other giants in this massive Cathedral area, though there is movement in the loft above.
"The Keeper of the Forge?" Leira follows the giantess admiring the huge structure "What Forge is that and how does it relate with us?"
"We have not yet presented each other. I am Leira from Trunau" the girl seems trying to make an effort to deal along with the giantess despite the large battles held with her race.
"Urathash may be near. We can talk more once once we are below the Forge." The Giantess says quietly. She gives nervous glances at the entrances and toward the loft.
+2 bonus on dwarf enemies, already incl
+1 bonus on giants, already incl
It is a massive statue of Minderhal himself.
As the Giantess leads the party to the side of the statue, she opens of secret door and waives the party to go through it. The party moves through until Ulfgard reaches it. He slows then look over at the forge. He moves toward the forge and away from the party. Ulfgard goes and touches Agrimmosh to the forge.
Whenever the wielder of Agrimmosh successfully strikes a creature with the hammer, as an immediate action he can attempt a targeted dispel check against the struck creature, as dispel magic, to end a single ongoing transmutation effect that alters the target’s size. Other ongoing spells and effects are unaffected. The wielder uses the hammer’s caster level as his own when attempting such a dispel check.
Agrimmosh also gains 3 charges, which renew at the beginning of each day. The wielder can expend the listed number of charges to activate one of the following spell-like abilities as a full-round action; expending an extra charge to activate the spell-like ability reduces the casting time to a swift action instead. Regardless, the wielder of Agrimmosh can activate only one of the weapon’s spell-like abilities per round.
• Heightened enlarge person (1 charge, DC 23; this replaces Agrimmosh’s 1/day enlarge person ability)
• Heightened mass enlarge person (2 charges, DC 23)
• Lastly, Agrimmosh can be used in conjunction with Minderhal’s Forge at the Cathedral of Minderhal to resize magic armor and weapons.
The current AP only had the last part. I had to go back to the first AP for the other parts of what Agrimmosh does. So, as I understand it, you have everything except resizing armor and weapons. For that Minderhal's forge would need to be relighted.
Leira nods and spots the statue entrance, still not convinced by the giantess intentions.
She then realizes Ulfgard has stopped and she turns back to tell him "A silver for your thoughts Ulfgard "
Raising his hammer high Ulfgard let´s it hammer again on the forge, giving it a deep tone loud through the cathedral. With a smile he looks back and speaks up.
"I will do quite a bit of work here, I would guess!"
He does!
