Yeah, I'll just do that. I'll move toward Kargas and ready an action to teleport myself to safety (on the roofs) if the dragon comes to attack me. Sorry to hold us up

Colvyn "Slick" Dashtail |

Seeing the giant take a villager and start retreating, Colvyn aims at him and sends a volley of arrows. "Oh no you don't. You will not kidnap anyone here!" Each arrows are wrap in electricity as they fly toward the target.
Take a 5 foot closer to the giants ;P

The other two giants to the south cry out in alarm at the swiftness with which their fellow raider has fallen. Rather than wait to grab more prisoners, they decide to run for it. They rush out of the square and hide behind a building near the Rusty Dragon, putting the structure mostly between themselves and Colvyn. Unfortunately for them, due to their height they don't have total cover.
To the north, the giant leader starts his long climb up the cliff. The slope has plenty of handholds and he makes good time, but its a long way up. The other two northern giants throw boulders blindly in Guiness' general direction, hoping for a lucky hit. They drop through the air near him and crash into the surf below.
The dragon, satisfied that no one dares fight him, swoops down to almost street level. Along the way he snatches a curtain out of an open window and uses the cloth to try to staunch his rapidly bleeding wound. He doesn't make much progress.

Astrid Olvirsdottir |

While her dinosaurs finish their journey to the square and prepare to attack the giants remaining there, Astrid takes advantage of the dragon's departure and flies to Kargas's aid. She presses a hand down atop his injuries, and breathes a sigh of relief when he returns to consciousness.
"This is a terrible place to take a nap, you know."
Swap Restoration for Cure Critical: 4d8 + 20 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 8) + 20 = 42

Kargas Stormscar |

Awakening with a pained gasp, Kargas gives Astrid a look that is half grateful and half annoyed at her quip. "Everybody's a critic," he mutters, then whispers a spell that leaves half a dozen injured half-orcs spinning around him. A crackle of lightning from Kellek draws his attention.
"Hey! That's my thing!"
Though Kargas didn't fall, I assume he did drop his falchion? If so, he'll use his move to fly down and retrieve it next turn.

Sorry, I had a post that appears to have been eaten by the boards. Guiness double moves, flying at ground level and keeps buildings between himself and the giants as he heads south towards his party (and the dragon).

Yep Kargas, unless you had the falchion in a locked gauntlet or similar, it fell when you went unconscious.

Kargas is shocked back to consciousness with Astrid's help, and moments later he invokes the magic needed to surround himself with mirror images once more. Guiness spends these moments speeding back toward the center of town.
The two remaining giants to the south stay as well as they can in cover as they beat a hasty retreat to the east. As they pass the Rusty Dragon, a few additional arrows from Rig and Ameiko (yes, they're still around somewhere providing support!) bounce off their armor, with one arrow sinking into a giant's calf.
To the north, the giants spot Guiness moving between buildings and they lob some more rocks at him. The blind throws leave the rocks well off target and Guiness easily evades them. The giant leader makes good time up the cliff.
The dragon flies westward, staying low (10ft above the ground), and attempts to staunch its wound once more. This time, it has more luck and it manages to stop the worst of the bleeding. It turns back toward the floating wizard, its gleaming eyes reevaluating the situation.

Kellek Zaderan |

Kellek, satisfied that no one dares fight him, swoops upward a bit to survey the battlefield and look contemptuously down upon his foes and create clear lines of fire. He elevates from 130' to 160'.
"Hey! That's my thing!"
"Sure it is!" Kellek shouts back, not at all reassuringly. Kellek even has a special wide-brimmed hat for the St. Elmo's fire to dance along. Does Kargas have a wide-brimmed hat? ;p
Kellek turns his eyes to the giant leader and his friends along the embankment.
Kellek casts a fireball at them all (or as many as he can get in the radius of effect) or if he sees their leader is still climbing he targets him to blow him back down into the rocks and water below.

Colvyn "Slick" Dashtail |

Colvyn rushes to the river to cut off the retreating giants. "You will let go those villagers if you want to leave this place alive." Charging his bow once more with lightning, he sends more arrows at the giants. Wonder how the others are doing, haven't seen Guiness in a while.

Guiness continues to fly south at ground level, trying to use the buildings as cover from giant rocks, making best speed towards his companions. He keeps an eye out for any foes nearby, though hIs field of vision is limited by the very buildings he is using as cover.

Even high up, you probably wouldn't see the giant leader due to the fact he's still behind the edge of the cliff and decently far down. You've definitely got the other two in a fireball though. Also, thanks for the reminder - tracker has been updated.

Guiness doesn't see or hear any other giants. From the sounds of things, most of the townsfolk are closer to the docks or in safer hiding places, though there are a few shouts from the burning buildings just north of the Garrison.

"There you are," Kargas swoops down and scoops up his falchion, then flies back up over the rooftop to get eyes on the dragon.
Grab weapon, then fly about 45ft south-ish with a 20ft elevation by the end there.

Astrid Olvirsdottir |

"Mighty Pulura, plea--hold on a second!" Astrid shouts after Kargas, just barely managing to imbue his falchion with divine might before the half-orc flies off for his rematch.
Move to Kargas then use my Holy Lance domain ability to grant it the holy ability for 5 rounds. My summons expire at the beginning of my next turn, so they'll just keep chasing the last giant and then disappear before they reach the target.

Colvyn Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
To the north, the giant leader gets back up to the top of the cliff and hauls himself to his feet. The other two cluster around him, making a defensive wall while their leader takes a step away from the edge. Two of the northern giants grab boulders from their bags and attempt difficult throws toward Kellek. Both thrown boulders fall well short, smashing through buildings instead.
To the east, you see the group of giants that Kellek and Guiness delayed earlier. They're just now rounding the side of the cathedral, looking a little singed and bloody, but otherwise mostly going strong. They seem to be heading westward.
The dragon rises back up above the level of the roofs, beating its wings hard and it starts once more to close upon the three of you in the center of town. (Its now at 50ft above the ground) It seems to be coiling, readying itself for something.

Astrid, somehow, pales even further when the dragon begins puffing itself up. "Scatter!" she shouts, and follows her own advice, but not before delivering another bit of healing magic to Kargas.

Then zooming off 40 feet to the northeast, elevation 20.

Kargas Stormscar |

Using that scale someone cut out, it looks like Kargas can reach the dragon with 120ft fly speed, even with some elevation gain.
"Thanks Astrid, I'm running low on spells," Kargas gives the priestess a grateful nod, but whirls back towards the dragon at her shouted warning. "Back for more, eh, you overgrown lizard?" Kargas' lightning wings flex to hurl him forwards with staggering speed, a wordless war-cry tearing free of his throat.

Guiness flies up at an angle towards his allies just as Kargas races off to engage the dragon. Seeing the eastern group of giants making their way around the cathedral, he grumbles, "Dragon's just too fast for me. I need to get back on solid ground and fight..."
To Astrid, he calls out, "Seems we are in quite the target rich environment--some healing wouldn't go amiss if you have a mite to spare." Guiness is looking quite battered, but his eyes light anew as he rejoins his companions.

His charge leaves him little chance to dodge, leaving his only protection his magical resistance to fire. A resistance he direly needs. He charges through the wave, blinded by fire and delivers a swing that meets nothing more than empty air. (37 fire damage after resistance) The dragon also swings a claw at him as he approaches, but only manages to shatter a mirror image.
To the south, Colvyn's first two arrows bounce off the building the final giant is hiding behind, but his last two arrows find the brute's throat. The giant tumbles and swiftly expires.
While Guiness approaches, Kellek focuses and unleashes another spell. While the gravity magic manages to get past the creature's magic resistance, the dragon flares its wings and pushes past the gravity well (Just barely made the fort save).
With Kargas up close, the dragon uses its powerful wings to remain airborne, then unleashes the full fury of its many natural weapons. Jaws, claws, and tail all smash through mirror images, but one wing slap manages to hit the true Kargas. He invokes his windy escape, but finds the spell useless against the dragon's magic-infused strike. By virtue of his magical illusions and Astrid's timely healing, Kargas ends up still conscious despite the fury of the assault. (Taking only 16 dmg from a wing attack)
The group of giants at E ignore the epic clash above the center of town and instead rush southwestward in a run. The giants at A come around the curve of the cathedral, readying their mallets in anticipation of a fight. Luckily, none of these seem to be carrying sacks of boulders, so they're unable to deliver a bombardment.
(I don't *think* there are any, but we're now on round 17, so one or more rounds/level effects may have worn off. Let me know if there's anything I should wipe off the tracker.)

After hesitating a moment to both admire the impressive takedown of the dragon and allow Astrid to grant him healing if she can, Guiness says, "I'll hold them off to the east! The stone giant leader is headed towards the old light!"
Swooping down with the additional speed granted by his altitude, Guiness quickly arrives at the lead giant just as he rounds the cathedral. Attempting to wedge them in between the building and the retaining wall, Guiness gets in close and sets his feet on the solid ground, willing the stone to stand with him and protect him--from below and on each side. Taking a powerful swing at the lead giant who he has mercilessly taunted from the beginning of the battle, Guiness hopes to take him down before he can land a telling retaliatory blow.

While Colvyn heads back north, Guiness sweeps in and delivers a powerful slam that knocks the first of the giants out. The other three rush in and surround the steadfast dwarf. (you get an AoO as they move in) His shield and armor take a beating from their blows but he stays firm and otherwise unharmed.
The giants at E continue on their mad rush, their target now obviously the Old Light.

Kellek quickly descends to within spell range of the trio of giants surrounding Guiness and opens the earth beneath the nearest giant's feet.

Kargas ignores Kellek and stares down at the fallen dragon, cupping a hand behind his ear as though struggling to hear. "Mok-murian will...what? What will they do, huh? ...that's what I thought." Satisfied that the fire-wyrm wouldn't not be rising again, the half-orc turns and flies over to the nearest rooftop.
"Astrid, I hate to ask again but I gotta," he calls through cracked and blistered lips. "That thing did a number on me, and the thunderbird blessing won't last forever."
I'm almost out of rage, we need to get this business handled soon!

Astrid Olvirsdottir |

(Hopefully) Before Guinness can fly off to fight the giants single-handedly, Astrid sends Muninn flying after the dwarf with a bit of healing magic. It's a bit of a retcon, but I'd like to have done this last turn. If it's not, reverse the order of actions here, sending the bird to Kargas.

Kellek opens a pit under that same giant's feet in an effort to assist Guiness. In an unexpectedly agile maneuver, the giant jumps clear of the pit. In the process however, Guiness ends up no longer flanked. The other two giants near him unleash a series of swings with their mallets. There's a couple of close calls, but now that he doesn't have to guard his rear, Guiness is able to block or deflect each one that comes in.
The western group of giants reach Old Light.

Colvyn "Slick" Dashtail |

First round
Colvyn continues to fly closer to the group of giants. Ah! There's Guiness, in the thick of it as usual. He targets one of the giant and sends a single arrow at it.

Kellek Zaderan |

"Go! Stop the Giant Leader's scheme!"
"What!? You mean he has an urban renewal scheme!?"

Kellek Zaderan |

"Oh, right, that scheme."
Depending upon how close by Kargas and Astrid are Kellek draws forth his scroll of haste from his pack and moves to cast it. Currently without moving he is 40' up in the air. If he has to, he might just use it on himself.

Astrid Olvirsdottir |

Astrid, sensing Kellek's intent, moves closer to the wizard so that he might get his money's worth from the scroll, but not before blasting the giants at the Old Light with divine energy.
Burst of Radiance vs Evil: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 3, 4) = 19
Targets are blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds. DC 18 Reflex to downgrade it to Dazzled for the same duration.

Kargas Stormscar |

Lifting off the rooftop, Kargas flies close to Astrid and Kellek, but his attention is drawn to the ground, straining to see if he can spot Ameiko and ensure she's alright.
"Alright, who dies next?" he asks the two casters as he draws closer.
Move, then cast Long-Arm

Kellek Zaderan |

Kellek draws forth his scroll of haste from his pack and cast the spell off of it.
Haste but only Caster Level 5.

GM Cellion |

Kargas spots two figures standing atop a roof to the south end of town. Ameiko waves her bow in the air in greeting, while Rig sweeps his gaze around in search of any more trouble.
Kellek delivers a more fleeting haste spell that catches Astrid, Kargas and himself. To the west, the brilliant radiance of Astrid's spell encompasses the three determined giants. Holy light sears their bodies, and one of them grows visible disoriented. The trio of giants clamber into the ruins of Old Light and disappear from sight - though one has to be shoved and tugged to get over the ancient stones and into cover.
To the east, the last two giants break into a panic in the face of the implacable Guiness and their allies being slain in such one-sided fashion. They run away, sliding down the nearby slope and heading east (provokes AoO. They're fleeing)

Still focused on the heavily wounded giant, Guiness takes a swipe as it turns to run away.

Realizing that even a fleeing giant can do a lot of damage to his vulnerable infantry company defenders, Guiness reluctantly releases his deep connection to the earth and flies down the hill after the fleeing giant. Suddenly weaker, he is unable to bring his hammer to bear on the creature, but he gets as close as possible.
Fatigued after breaking his defensive stance, so best he can do is 80 foot double move with perhaps some added speed for the altitude drop going downhill.

Kargas Stormscar |

With a grim nod, Kargas flies after Kellek, homing in on the Old Light and whatever the giants there are up to.
5 rounds of rage remain, let's make it count!

Astrid Olvirsdottir |

As Astrid flies after Kargas and Kellek (and falls behind in the process), Muninn catches up with a quick burst of speed, landing on her shoulder.
Double move.

GM Cellion |

Meanwhile most of the rest of the party start heading westward toward Old Light as quickly as they can.
The final giant in group A continues to flee, this time more sensibly withdrawing away from Guiness as it rushes for the river. The giants hiding in the ruins of Old Light peek over the rim of stones at its base and throw chunks of ancient masonry toward your group. From what you can see, only two of the giants in that group are doing so - the giant leader is nowhere in sight. Luckily, you're currently still too far away for any of their stone rain to strike more than the town's buildings. The blinded giant's aim is particularly bad.

Kellek Zaderan |

Kellek darts in and decides to make the giants' search for whatever it is that much harder. He produces a rotten egg from his component pouch and hurls in at the ruin shouting "Pulmɑɪ phingor!" as he does.
Guided by magic the egg impacts near the giants producing a 20' high, 40' diameter cloud of thick sulfurous mist.
The spell is stinking cloud. It has a range of 200'; Fort DC 20 (last point of arcane reservoir); Duration 10 rds.

"Nice shooting, Colvyn," says Guiness as the giant becomes a porcupine of death!
Still winded from his defensive stance, Guiness rises up above the entry to the Cathedral and looks around for any foes. Calling out loudly, he queries, "Defenders of Sandpoint, are there yet any enemies within our walls?"
(Double move up at an angle to get a good view of the town, then Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 ).

Falling even further behind, Astrid sends Muninn ahead with a spell to keep Kargas flying even after his own magical reserves run out.
