Jevar does not appreciate when they get that close.
Don't they know I'm the squishy one!
He carefully steps back

Shohreh grabs a poultice from a pocket at her hip and slathers it over the slashes left by the hag's claws, then hurls a flurry of darts straight into the monster's ugly face.

After the incoherent babbling, Jevar still isn't doing much better with his confidence.
Reflexively, he summons a solid wall between him and the moon hag in front of him.
◆◆ Cast a spell: Illusory object (DC33, frightened 1), area marked on map.

As the magic compelling his retreat fades, Kolgradd feels a rage so strong he has a moment to wonder if it too might be magical. He stares at the hag that fogged his mind, and casts a couple of spells of his won.
◆ Cast Sure Strike
◆◆ Cast Blink Charge
Suddenly he blinks through the air leaving a smear of light in his wake, and strikes at the hag with the force of a rampaging Aurochs!

Nimbly stepping away from each of the hag's claw swipes, Shohreh conjures a shield before throwing another cloud of deadly shards.

Okay! It worked...
Now that he's being left alone, he moves to take advantage of the flank that the moon hag in front of him probably doesn't realize is occurring.

Shohreh swings her magical shield into place to deflect the worst of the claw strike (↻ Shield Block), then counterattacks with a combination of magic and blade.

As the last of the hags fall, a pounding comes from up above. ”Will you three keep it down?! Some of us are trying to sleep!”
The cushions in this room cover recesses where the hags seem to be hiding valuables.
Inventory updated
Back outside, then up the cardinal-direction stairs
Eight broad skylights in the domed ceiling connect this spacious room to the sky above. At the center of the chamber stands a familiar, cylindrical monument with a single flat face inscribed with several runes—a Star Stele!
Nearby is a makeshift bed—though one for a massive creature—that is occupied by a Huge, gray-skinned giant with blue-and-gold robes and various gold jewelry.
As the former-amnesiacs approach, the giant—clearly having been trying to sleep—groans in frustration as he rolls out of his bed.
”Ugh! What do you want now?! I am simply trying to—“ The giant finally gets a glimpse of the former-amnesiacs and folds his arms. ”Oh. More newcomers. Great. What, are you looking to drive me out of here for hours as well??”
What do you do?

Occultism: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27
Kolgradd freezes in place when the giant addresses them, his eyes darting back and forth between them and his companions.
I'm hoping perhaps that someone will make the check and learn something useful, or failing that maybe befriend the giant so a fight doesn't break out

Did someone say Arcane might?!?
After Jevar identifies and distributes the hags' loot, he can be seen for a minute admiring the new staff and comparing it to his current one (the Staff of the Dreamlands).
Somebody should certainly make use of the Stone Robe
--------------------
Jevar laughs nervously at the giant's frustrated greeting, and attempts to reply with a contrite tone.
No no. You can very well stay here. If all goes well we're simply passing through and we'll be out of your hair on no time. We just need a minute with that.
He points at the Star Stele.
DC36 Occultism (T): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42
Realizing the particulars of this giant, Jevar anxiously wonders if he even knows what a "bad moon" is, and if so if it is in effect now. He nervously looks around at his companions.
?? Is the moon knowledge part of the present roll, or...?
