Flynn sinks two arrows deep into second Stone Giant.
Stone's Spiritual Ally opens up a can of whoop a$$ on the third Dire Bear.
Stone then tries to put a Hold on the second Stone Giant from his Wand. It resists the Cleric's attempt.
Stone Giant 2 Will Save:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Round Eleven
Elektra's Bralani flies back a bit and unloads another Lightning Bolt against the Juvenile Red Dragon. But the Red fellow was ready for it, and dodged most of its effect.
Juvenile Red Reflex Save:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Elektra then sends another Acid Arrow toward the second Stone Giant. It strikes the big guy. The second Stone Giant begins to stagger.
As it falls, Flynn puts a couple of extra arrows into it. The second Stone Giant is killed.
Devora moves up continuing her Epic Poem.
Brandark, with Abacus, finishes off the third Dire Bear.
The Sandpoint Guards realize they are unable to keep up with the fleeing first Stone Giant and returns back to town.
Severo and Stone can take other actions now in Round Eleven.
Devora returns to her horse, still maintaining her Epic Poem.
The Juvenile Red Dragon goes after the Bralani with all it has. However, with it resistance to damage, the Azata was able to withstand much of the attack.
I adjusted the Bralani's HPs from last round to take into effect the 10/Cold Iron DR. And this series of attacks only did 12 HPs of damage to the Bralani. The Bralani is truly a powerful creature to Summon in, far more so than the Hound Archons.
It is clear to the party that the Bralani is at least keeping the Juvenile Red Dragon busy.
The party has secured this part of town. But now there is the matter of a Red Dragon causing more panic than harm at the moment. Its first attack did little damage to the mostly stone Sandpoint Garrison structure.
And then there is the matter of the commotion further to the south. What does the party do?
As the party hesitates briefly to regroup their actions, a villager comes running up from the south, "Please help! There are Stone Giants gathering up the villagers alive and putting them into massive sacks. They are just a couple of blocks south."
Revised Round Eleven for some, and Round Twelve for Everyone
Choices!
Keep in mind the following logistics: The Bralani and Dragon are about fifty feet up in the air and two hundred feet down range to the west. See Sandpoint Map. Also the commotion is about three hundred feet to the south. I have tokens on the map to represent where the action is taking place. Obviously, the tokens are not to scale. :)
The Yellow Star represents the party's current location.
Just to confirm, the party is heading south to confront the other Giants. Is this correct? Stone and Brandark are clearly for the head south group. If one more agrees, I will move forward in that direction.
Devora will look over at Flynn and shrug, "I can't fly." She then follows Brandark and Stone toward the south. She then looks back at Flynn, "Come. Let's free these good people of Sandpoint. Then we will deal with that Dragon."
With Elektra's move to the south it is 3 to 2 to move south.
The party moves south near the west bank of the Turandarok River.
@Elektra - What does your Hound Archon and Bralani do in Round Twelve?
Round Thirteen
Staying with the same initiatives, so everyone is up.
There is a new map. It is called Teraktinus. (More on that later.) The party is positioned on their starting point on the map. This map is very different from the previous maps. This was someone's draft of Sandpoint that I have added grid lines. The scale is massive. Every square is ten feet across. So you will need to zoom in to clearly see your tokens. There are other enemies, but you cannot see them from your current location. This map does correspond to the Sandpoint Map. I have added the Sandpoint Map reference numbers to this map so you can see exactly where you are on the full Sandpoint town map.
@Elektra - You also have your Round Thirteen actions for your Summoned help and yourself.
Next time, i suggest we discuss this as a group. And let it be known i am against leaving a flying dragon burning the town. As the dragon cannot be tracked if it flies away, these giants can and the people be rescued. Continuing that, the numbers are against you, there are more people that are in the town, in danger. He seems very miffed

The hound archon will transform to a hound and run towards south.
The bralani takes out her longbow and starts to shoot at the dragon.
Attack:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Taking a stock of her remaining spells,
Electra shoots the dragon with some magic missles.
MM:5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 3, 4) + 5 = 21
@Elektra - Looking at the scale of the Sandpoint map. Elektra would have needed to stop to be within range of the Dragon with her Magic Missile (200 feet maximum range). And even then, she would have been at the very extreme of that range. As a result, she will not start on the Teraktinus map for Round Thirteen.

Stone will move to Severo and impart some Divine Healing.

The comments and discussion changed my mind about the direction, but we should be able to blitz through these giants quickly enough to redirect to the dragon fairly fast
With the debate, and the solid arguments in favor of the dragon, Brandark starts to ride in that direction only to pause when he sees the giant to the south.
Lets quickly deal with these, on the way to the dragon then.
Faster we are done, the faster we get to that threat.
He then draws out his new axe, and starts to ride in the southern direction towards the only visible giant at the moment.
"So it shall be." hard to tell who Severo is responding to, but he proceeds towards the giant also. He uses another Lay on Hands to finish out his healing, and casts Divine Favor while he rushes down.
"There will be more here. I am certain."
I think I moved the horse as far as it can go, but diagonals are funky that way.
Elektra lags behind the party to shoot off a Magic Missile that, though barely, strikes the Dragon.
The Hound Archon turns into a true hound and follows Elektra.
The Bralani flies back and fires arrows at the Juvenile Red, but the first arrow bounces off the flying creatures touch scales. The Azata's second arrow sails wide.
Flynn, Brandark, Stone, Severo and Devora move south.
@Elektra - I went ahead and used your Magic Missile attack against the Dragon. It is below 100hps now. Elektra can take a move action to be on the Teraktinus map. She can then take a standard action. Caleb will be with Elektra as it is a standard action for Caleb to use its Beast Shape ability. Caleb can also take a move action to be on the Teraktinus map. What else do you do in Round Thirteen? Also, the Bralani may have been hurt, but he can still act in Round Thirteen as well.
@Flynn - Since you moved south with the party, you can take Round Thirteen Actions.
Brandark, while drawing out his new axe, steers Abacus closer to the Stone Giant.
Stone provides some healing to Severo.
Severo provides himself additional healing and drives his mount further South.
Devora rides to a point in the midst of the party, and once again begins her epic poem.
Everyone gets the +2 to hit and damage again.
The Stone Giant has a large sack on its back with squirming contents. It takes a rock and throws it at Brandark, beaning the Dwarf Cavalier.
Reeling slightly after being pushed back into the saddle, Brandark leans forward as he and Abacus push forward into the charge.
Bugger brought a rock to an axe fight.
He pitches his voice higher so the giant can hear.
How about you stand and fight you overgrown lump of lard!!! Challenge 1
He then pushes Abacus for a charge.

Also, the Bralani may have been hurt, but he can still act in Round Thirteen as well.
Trying to send the dragon another wave of magic missles Electra then moves forward to engage the giants.
Attack:5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 4, 4) + 5 = 23
Caleb quickly runs forward and then transforms again into his combat form.
The flying Bralani unleashes another volley of arrows.
Arrows:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 251d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Arrows:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
And repeats this as soon as she can
Arrows:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 151d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Arrows:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
The Dwarf Cavaliers then slices into the Stone Giant with his battleaxe. And Abacus stomps on the big humanoid as well. The Stone Giant doesn't fall, but it doesn't feel very well.
Stone tries to hold the Stone Giant, but the attempt from his wand fails.
Severo is heroic.
Ride Check:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Devora stays in her saddle, rides her horse forward, and fire an arrow at the Stone Giant. It sticks into the big creature. The Stone Giant staggers and falls.
At least I think it did! I have Brandark's AC at 21
A third Stone Giant can be seen running up behind the second one.
Then a larger fourth one rounds the corner and launches a rock at Brandark. It sails over the Dwarf Cavalier's head, tearing off siding on the building behind Brandark.

Electra will cast scorching ray on the closest Giant.
RTA:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 254d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 6, 1) = 14 RTA:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 124d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 2) = 14
[b]"Someone has to take care of the dragon, I am out of spells that truly hurt him as long as he does not come very much closer!
Devora dismounts her horse while loudly continuing her epic poem.
Brandark, Elektra, Flynn and Stone will be able to benefit from Devora's inspiration. (+2 Attack and Damage).
Devora pulls a magic arrow to see if that can make a difference at this longer range for her Darkwood Composite Shortbow against the charging Stone Giant.

Stone moves his horse up next to Devorah and calls down a pillar of fire upon the two giants in the back .
Flame Strike DC19:10d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 6, 2, 1) = 30
Area of affect is a 10 foot radius 40 foot high column of Holy fire. Ref for half.
I didn’t add plus 2 to the damage for Devorah song. I wasn’t sure if it applied to spell damage.?
hp52/52 AC 17|T 16 |FF 14, F +4|R +5|W +7, Init +4, Per +17
Sorry forgot that.
Taking a deep breath Caleb charges the closest giant, yelling a warcry at the top of his lungs.
Charge:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 132d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 = 17
@Elektra - Scorching Ray has a short range. 50 feet for Elektra. I moved her closer to the action in this Round. You can use your Scorching Ray in the next Round.
Caleb charges the second Stone Giant.
The second Stone Giant takes a swing at the approaching Archon. It hits the mighty Caleb, but the Hound Archon was able to absorb much of the attack's effect. However, Caleb was unable to land a blow against the tough-skinned giant.
Flynn fires arrows at the second Stone Giant. Two of the arrows stick, one just missed a critical location.
Brandark moves Abacus next to Caleb and hacks into the Stone Giant with Issakaz. Abacus adds a stomp too. The attacks do massive damage to the Stone Giant. However, the big humanoid does not fall.
Stone calls forth a Flame Strike that engulfs the two back Stone Giants.
Red Stone Giant Reflex Save:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Both Stone Giants manages to dodge the Flame Strike's full effect.
@Stone - Devora's +2 Insprire Courage affects combat abilities, melee and range attacks.
Severo continues his advance in an attempt to box in the Stone Giants.
Devora dismounts her horse in order to make her best shot with her shortbow. The arrow stick into the second Stone Giant. The Stone Giant's eyes rolls back into its head and it falls down unconscious.
The third Stone Giant moves forward dodging some of the flames, then moves on to attack the Dwarf on the horse. It chokes up with both hands on it greatclub. Batter up!
The third Stone Giant lands a solid strike upon Brandark.
Brandark takes 29 points of damage.
The back Stone Giant is larger than the other Stone Giants. Seeing the way forward is blocked by the third Stone Giant, the big humanoid eyes another target. He advances toward Severo. He has a heavy pick in his right hand, a light pick in his left.
He calls out in the common tongue looking at Severo, "A Half-Orc Paladin, how unique. Your kind were meant to serve our kind. But Teraktinus will just end you instead." The big Stone Giant swings with both picks at Severo. The large pick does damage, but the light pick glances off the Half-Orc Paladin's armor.

Perhaps noticing that the dragon is no longer occupied Stone moves and casts hold on the larger giant towards the back if he can move to location to where he can see him.DC16
