Ragnir continues forward as years of training to fight against giants takes over muscle memory. He steps up close, moving in to make it harder for the giant to attack, and swings at the things legs. He looks dismayed when his blow skips off the bone. "Bugger me...Och! I'll be a durned idjit, they're undead giants, no meat on em, can't be fightin' em ta take out hamstrings."
Haskyll moves up, and seems to bring forth a small orb of acid.
Switching hopeknife and warhammer Ulfgard charges the giant.

Seeing the big mass of bones preoccupied with Ulfgard and Kaos, Mordea moves behind the Skeletal Giant and tries to push some of the bones around with her Shortsword.

Round Two Recap
Ulfgard charges just to take a misstep and nearly falls.
The Skeletal Giant reacts to the Dwarf's charge by striking the Ranger-Barbarian with his Spear.

Anga hits the mass of bones with a Force Missile.
Mordea moves around the big Skeleton and disrupts a rib or two.
The Hill Giant Skeleton strikes Ulfgard again with its Spear.
Besides recognizing that the Hill Giant Skeleton is wearing a fine suit of chainmail and thus can guess what it will take to penetrate the armor, the Dwarf can estimate how much damage it could take before it falls. Oh...and that it may be able to resist Cold based attacks. But otherwise, Haskyll does not know much else that has not been previously noted. The orb of acid hits its target.
Ragnir moves up and attacks the Skeletal Giant, but misses with his assault.

Ulfgard hammers the creature.
Kaos crushes more bones with his mace.
And Anga's Scorching Ray causes the creature to screech, then collapse into a heap of big bones.
Victory!
Ragnir spits on the bones, "An stay down, ye giant bastard. Wasna' bad enough ye were dead once, ye went and made us have te' do it again."
Ragnir then sifts through the bones trying to find one that would make a suitable haft for an axe or hammer.
Kaos, Ulfgard, come over here, and let me look over your wounds.
Kaos
Ulfgard
He will then use the pearl of power to regain the bless spell.
Ragnir will easily find a bone suitable for a mace or hammer.
Kaos will note that the Broken Spear radiates magic.
The Hill Giant Skeletons had a masterworks suit of chainmail, a masterworks suit of scale mail, two large suits of splint mail and two large suits of banded mail. Also, amongst the other Skeletons were 4 large over-sized Greataxes, one being masterworks, 3 large Greatswords, one of them was masterworks, a pair of large warclubs, a large morningstar, a large unbroken spear and a large masterworks Warhammer.

Anga can you tell what magical properties this spear has? And by the way I think I will take this large Warhammer, unless someone has a better idea. Kaos will hand Anga the spear then pick up the big hammer. As he tests the weight he smiles. Does anyone need this masterworks light mace I think I have found a replacement.Then more to himself and the hammer I think I will call you Bone Crusher.
I got nothing on this
No problem, Kaos
Anga casts detect magic
hmm, ah'm not certain
Good work, but baa to big. Still worth some pennies. Take all the quality and leave the common crap. And we should move on!"
No one is able to identify the Broken Spear, so Mordea carefully moves toward the open cavern to the east, checking for traps along the way, using Stealth in her approach.
Ledges and stairs are carved into the stone walls of this wide-open, high ceilinged natural cavern. Embedded in a fifteen-foot-tall spire of centuries-old bones stands the skeleton of a massive armored warrior. Though its flesh has long since rotted off its frame, the skeleton still stands proud and regal amid the trappings of battle and mounds of gleaming treasure. The skeleton’s battered half- plate and scarred helmet hint at its many battles, and the warlord’s hands are clenched around a massive stone hammer. Beneath the helmet, a thick, round rock has been embedded in one of the skeleton’s otherwise empty eye sockets.
Mordea sees some puppy dogs.
So much for Mordea's stealth. A Dire Wolf lets out a howl. The other Dire Wolves are alerted to your presence, as is a blonde Half-Orc on one of the ledges.
Round One
Two of the four Dire Wolves attack the rogue. Mordea was able to dodge the first one's bite. But not the second one's. Mordea remains on her feet as the Dire Wolf attempts to trip it's opponent.
Torag, bring us the strength we need to prevail
Haskyll calls forth the blessing of Torag again.
Taking a quick step forward Ulfgard attacks the direwolf infront of him with axe and shield
"Bad dogs no biscuits! Back in yer hole.
Ragnir bellows as he moves up next to Kaos and swings at the wolf near him. "Gor, but ye're a big whelp, and och! tha' breath!
Anga looses a force missile at the nearest wolf
down doggie
When Kaos moves into a flanking position with Mordea, the Rogue strikes slicing deep into the bi puppy.

Mordea strikes hard on the second Dire Wolf. It falls.
Round Two
The first Dire Wolf bites at Mordea, but the nimble Rogue dodges the attack. The other Dire Wolves wait for an opportunity to strike.
By the gods that hurt you bloody wench.
Haskyll steps up and places a hand on Anga's shoulder.
ouch! Tha' bloody hurt!
Ulfgard will use his round to extinguish his flaming clothes.
Anga moves five feet then drops and rolls
Ragnir pats at his clothes and beard, then casts create water over the top of himself to douse the flames.
Smiling at the commotion he has caused, the Half-Orc takes a couple of steps and drinks a potion. He then lets out a few high pitched whistles.
Realizing that no one is in a position to offer a flank at this time, Mordea attacks the big puppy dog, getting a good slice into some dog meat.
Round Two recap
The first Dire Wolf bites at Mordea, but the Rogue manages to barely dodge the Wolf's fangs.
