"Me throw big rock at purty girl to nudge 'er and 'er batty thing along." His gaped tangletooth smile grins.
Desmond waits in his hiding spot, not wanting to be targeted first.
RD 2: Hill Giants
A tall, lanky (for hill giants that is) giant stealthy slips onto the trail (-A, A: 13/14) towards your back side. He is wearing interesting grayish hide armor on his body. He flings a rock at Kalim.
;
He has a darkwood knobby greatclub handing from his side, along with looks like he is well equipped for a hill giant.
-----
A second massive brawny giant steps up (AB/AC:14/15) form the bend and tosses a rock at Grung.
The thick vein in his sloping forehead looks like it's about to burst, as he starts to become red faces and thicker in appearance. He is a heavily scarred, towering giant wears the hide of a black dragon, and wields a massive club studded with dragon's teeth.
;
His greatclub looks like a better fit in his hand than a rock.
------
You suspect that neither of the two hill giants are the source for the spells shaping the terrain.
------
Due to the distance involved in the two front battle, I was not able to export a single map that captured the complete terrain, so I split it into the North and South view.
RD 2 DMPC Des
Des first hears the whistling of a projectile over head, then he witnesses the earth shaking rattle when the stone strikes and bounces. He keeps his back to the stone wall and brush, remaining stealth and creeps forward 20 feet, waiting to ambush his foe.

the rogue remains hidden.

Updated Southern view of Battle field
*I updated the view to reflex Des move.
Karnog directs the small herd if aurochs to stampede towards the red-faced giant (northern one I think)
Stampede
Damage, DC 19 reflex for half or AoO at -4 penalty (AC 13)
Karnog casts weapon of awe on his hammer and gets ready to engage with the giant.
Hearing sounds of battle but not seeing any foes yet, Grimm hopes to get in the thick of things.
Move outta here. This walls supposed to separate us. Stay tagether and lets find a target. Anyone see a target?
Cut off from Desmond he worried about the rogue.
DES PULL BACK
He moves to J15 and casts DIVINE FAVOR on himself.
Grimm sees the northern giant and moves to J:15 casting his spell. The giant does not seem to notice the invisible dwarf and he is too far away to hear which dwarf is talking.
A stampede occurs if three or more creatures with stampede make a trample attack while remaining adjacent to each other. While stampeding, the creatures can trample foes of their size or smaller, and the trample's save DC increases by +2.
The stone giant is casting a spell but I don't want to break his invisibility so I need to figure where the effects are located when I get home and have maptools templates up.
Suddenly, the earth beneath Kalim, Grimm, and felic feet begins to move and shake, shifting and rolling.
You cause an earthen or sandy surface to shift and churn within the area. The shifting sand obliterates tracks and is considered difficult terrain. Acrobatics checks in the area take a penalty equal to your caster level (maximum +10). Creatures entering or beginning their turn in the shifting sand must make a Reflex save each round or become entangled until the beginning of their next turn. If they attempt to move while entangled, they must make a second Reflex save or fall prone. Creatures with the stability racial trait (like dwarves) may apply it as a bonus on their saving throws.
As a move action, you may move the area of shifting sand up to 10 feet in any direction. Creatures that are entangled or prone in the spell's area are carried along with the shifting sand in the same direction if possible. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Unattended Medium or smaller objects may also be carried along or shallowly buried by the shifting sand.
The stone giant caster is now visible up on the cliff (30 feet high) he is red haloed.
reflex
Grimm feels the ground shake and tremple beneath his feet but largely ignores it.
When the caster is finally revealed he yells at Kalim.
He'll drop whatever spells he like from up there. Can ye make me fly?
"Where? And, no, I can't make you fly."
Ya f#*kin WHAT!
Grimm looked as if he'd been slapped.
What kind of Mage couldn't fly?

The small herd tries to stampede the hill giant who smashes down at one's head with his fist. He didn't have a weapon in hand since he threw a rock, he has Improved Unarmed.

The bone cracking sound of giant's knuckle crushing the skull of one of the herd echoes in the valley.
"Hahaha..sound guud, smashy smashy, eat well tonight."
*Kalim thanks for the perception check, I should have had everyone roll one to see if they notice the stone giant spellcaster appear.

The skulls of two of the trampling beasts are bashed in as the toothy giant giggles madly.

Thrilled, and not thinking rationally, at the prospect of the foolish dwarf approaching the raging hill giant advances on Grung with his massive greatclub clenched in two hands.
He attacks:

His thick sloping forehead is about to burst with excitement.
The remaining aurochs Smite and attack, with the "black horse" critter charging.

Karnog moves to the southeast and touches the wall with his fabrication power, dealing damage, bypassing hardness 10
Grimm looks around in frustration. His body practically hummed with the Blessings of Gorum yet there was no foe nearby to kill.
Karnog, ye got a summon that can fly?
He considerd pulling his bow but from that height the caster was a damn hard target.
-Entangled
He falls prone in the sand and decides to Crawl the 10feet to L17 to get out of the spells area.
Having nothing better to do on the ground he casts EXPEDITIOUS RETREAT to improve his land speed.
Grung sees the club coming a mile away and holds up his shield and shifts his body just enough so the club deflects off and sends shards of rock and dirt in the air like a canon ball
Ye gotta do better than that!
Following the others felicitas starts a blistering invective on the southern giant, trying to intimidate him.
Grung returns the favor with Croaker (Elysian Bronze, Magic and counts as silver0

Grung swings croaker into one knee then the other
The first attack by Grung hits, and Croaker bites, but the damage is much less than Grung expected. The creature seems to deflect much of the blow.

Rd 5: Stone Giant
Feeling the sting of the negative energy, the stone giant sorcerer knows he has to end his rival quickly. He rushs a bit of ash in his fingers and ball of flame crashes down on Kalim, spreading in a 20ft area.
reflex 18 for half damage.
I took the two levels off the fireball already
KAlim, Grimm, Feli and Aurora need to make the save.
Kalim screams in pain. "Rock boy! You should fear me! I drain your life! Soon I will take it! Surrender now and live! "
The Dwarf see the tell tale orange pea shaped ball descend from up the hill and KNOWS what is coming. He feels the heat immediately after the explosion and tucks into a ball so tight he nearly cuts himself on his armor.
When the heat passes he screams to the sky, THAT ALL YE GOT? I'VE FARTED HOTTER THAN THAT!
