The paladin powers on to meet the stone giant blocking the parties path. Severo continues to keep up what little pressure he can provide with his bow and gritted teeth/tusks.
Brandark moves up along side Severo and pulls the "long" bow string back to his ear.
I hope this hurts you overgrown lump of gristle
He then lets fly.
Only to drive the arrow in the ground at the giants foot

DESCRIPTION
An ally made of pure force appears in a single 5-foot square within range. The ally takes the form of a servant of your god.
The spiritual ally occupies its space, though you and your allies can move through it, since it is your ally. The spiritual ally carries a single weapon, one favored by your deity (as for spiritual weapon), which has the same threat range and critical modifiers as a real weapon of its form. Each round on your turn, starting with the turn that you cast this spell, your spiritual ally can make an attack against a foe within its reach that you designate. The spiritual ally threatens adjacent squares and can flank and make attacks of opportunity as if it were a normal creature. The spiritual ally uses your base attack bonus (gaining extra attacks if your base attack bonus is high enough) plus your Wisdom bonus when it makes a melee attack. When the spiritual ally hits, it deals 1d10 points of force damage + 1 point of damage per 3 caster levels (maximum +5 at 15th level). It strikes as a spell, not a weapon, so it bypasses DR and can affect incorporeal creatures.
Each round after the first, you can move the spiritual ally as a swift action. It has a speed of 30 feet, and a fly speed of 30 feet (perfect maneuverability). Being a construct of force, the spiritual ally cannot be harmed by any physical attacks, but dispel magic, disintegrate, a sphere of annihilation, or a rod of cancellation affects it. A spiritual ally‘s AC against touch attacks is 10.
If an attacked creature has spell resistance, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against that spell resistance the first time the spiritual ally strikes it. If the ally is successfully resisted, the spell is dispelled. If not, the weapon has its normal full effect on that creature for the duration of the spell.

Round Three

Elektra moves up and fires a Magic Missile from her wand at the nearest Stone Giant.
Flynn fires arrows at the nearest Stone Giant. Both arrows strike the giant.
The nearest Stone Giant chokes up on his greatclub and tries futilely to attack the shimmering force that suddenly appeared.
The second Stone Giant continues to lob rocks at the party. He aims for the largest one approaching.
Severo dodged the first rock, but was hit by the Stone Giant's second throw.
Devora continues to inspire the party with her growing epic poem. She fires more arrows at the nearest Stone Giant. Her next arrow lands true, the one after that glances off the big humanoid.

Round Four
The sitting giant is peeved at the party's spell caster. It aims its own Magic Missile at the Elf.
Devora starts adding lines to her poem as she continues to inspire the party while at the same time firing arrows at the nearest Stone Giant.
Well at least one of her arrows will strike the nearest Stone Giant.
Devora takes a five foot step toward Flynn.
Feeling the pain Electra smiles and quickly casts shield herself.
"Timing, moron, timing is everything!"

Only to hit it with a Glancing blow

The second Stone Giant moves up to within ten feet of Severo and takes a swipe with its greatclub. It lands a solid blow against the Half-Orc.

Round Five
The sitting giant fires another Magic Missile at the Elf Wizard. But this time the sure incantation was absorbed by Elektra's newly raised Shield.
Stone's Spiritual Ally maneuvers toward the back of the first Stone Giant. The first Stone Giant takes an opportunity to attack the Ally but its blow has no effect on the spiritual entity. It was an easy climb to the ledge. Stone then attacks the Stone Giant landing a near critical strike with his shimmering scimitar. Stone's Ally also attacks but has less luck getting in a blow against the Stone Giant.
The first Stone Giant staggers but does not fall.
Elektra double-times it toward the second and sitting Stone Giants.

Round Six
"You puny Dwarf dare to approach me! The sitting Stone Giant points a finger at Brandark. A black ray fires from the finger striking the Dwarf Cavalier.
Flynn and Glistenwing will notice something horrible coming up from the stairs behind the party.
Slowly slowing, then shaking his head, Brandark looks at the giant in the chair.
Is that the best you got, you over grown tub of gristle
Brandark slows down a bit while still approaching the thrown
Elektra is quickly alerted by glistenwing. She quickly weaves a dweomer to summon a hound archon.
Severo barrels ahead as fast as he can to approach the sitting giant.
I dont know what it is but somethings coming up the stairs! continues firing arrows
Round Six
As Brandark approaches the sitting Stone Giant, the large humanoid barks at the Dwarf, points a finger, then a black Ray of Exhaustion streams forth striking the Cavalier. Brandark resist its full effect.
