Chark does not reply, but moves north toward the next door/curtain/whatever.
Tiny heads on as well.
Ignoring what the... thing said, the party moves North to the next room in the tent.
Garish swirls and splatters of paint cover the walls and floor of this room, along with several overturned paint buckets. Dozens of trapezes hang from the ceiling, each suspended ten feet above the floor. A purple‑haired gnome woman stands on the far side, "Ah! there you are! I best get going!"
"Were you ex...ex..expecting us?" Charlie asks. "We are just here for MIstress Dusklight. No need to run off."
It's Jasmaile, a rather miserable person in gneral. She is fond of making fun of people and using a pair of hill giants (Kreel and Pidkin) to shake performers down for money.)
"No? No reason you say? Hey I remember you. You're that blubbering idiot. Hey, maybe you just need a better set of tricks. Ever thought of being a clown?"
This is a delay tactic.
"You're stalling. For the Mistress, I presume."
"For her? Oh heavens no. I'm stalling for them."
Jasmaile flips upside down to hang by her feet and points around the corner. All eyes turn to see a pair of dull looking hill giants, Kreel and Pidkin for those from the Menagerie.
Both giants begin reaching into their bags...

Haldan's spell causes the snake to pull back, giving Goliath an opening. The bear closes down just behind the snake's skull. Suddenly Dendillion finds the coils loosening as the snake dies!

Quite familiar with the Trapeze, Tiny moves up and and leaps up to grab a platform and
finds it much more challenging than expected, falling back to the ground and landing prone.
Þóðᛞrekkr grows and guards the rest of the party.
Haldan strides and casually tosses a Fireball spell at the two giants.
Haldan blasts a fireball such that no one sees Tiny fail to get up on the sings.

Jamaile's face changes a bit as she swings around. As if an illusory guize falls away, she morphs into something decidedly hideous. . With a snicker she...casts a spell?
The giants immediately pull paint can's out of their pouches and hurl them at Haldan!

Chark isn't sure what Jamaile actually is, but she knows that the brutes pack a wallop, and focuses on them for the moment, sending a jolt of fire-red electricity leaping between the two hill giants.
Charlie tries to get better coverage and line of sight as he pushes into the corner of the room. Meanwhile Goliath charges in with Tiny, slobber foaming around his mouth in anger.

Chark knows a dandasuka when she sees one. Known as “biters” among the more powerful rakshasa castes, dandasukas serve as spies and assassins for rakshasa clans or powerful spellcasters who have found methods to bind one of these fiends to their will. Watch out for magic that can charm you into switching sides!
Chark's spell works great!

Dendillion feels no ill effects, like he shrugged off whatever it was.
Tiny stands back up, leaps and tries to pull himself up to the trapeze again.
And has no trouble this time.
Meanwhile Þóðᛞrekkr growls and closes with the blue giant.
With the thing hanging from a trapeze, Dendillion considers bringing it down... until Tiny climbs up there.
Deciding that Tiny would best be served with faster feet, the great bard weaves magical music that inspires the group and hastens his dwarven friend's steps.
Tiny is no strange to this kind of act, and eventually gets up to a swing in order to close distance. Dendillion hastens him for the coming kerfuffle, and inspires everyone for the main event.

Haldan chuckles as he casts Grease in the squares that include the two larger foes. He then tosses an anvil at the elevated gnome.
Haldan's little elemental toss simply goes into the rafters. His grease spell:

sends Kreel tumbling! The other hill giant laughs, but then quickly realizes that it's a bad thing.
Jasmaile tries to move away: and then tries to scramble Tiny's mind. .
Kreel stands up and changes tactics, mad as hell at Haldan. He gets up and rushes forward to hammer Haldan's head:

Chark keeps focused on the giants, knowing the bruises they can dish out.
She then conjures up a disc of force for protection.
Chark's spell is more annoying than deadly, but based on the smell of burnt flesh, it is effective.

"Because I LIKE this. I LIKE picking on losers like you! PATHETIC!" Goliath chomps down on the giant, who doesn't take it well, opting to switch to a greatclub, "I'm CLOWN. You ANIMAL. MY ACT IS BETTTTERRRRRR!"
He takes a pair of massive swings at the bear:

Tiny ignores the mental scrambling, used to much worse heckling while high above.
Tiny then gets into their stance and tries to knock their opponent off.
[ooc]If they are down Tiny will use their haste action to follow up and jump down, if they are still up top, Tiny will strike again.
Meanwhile Þóðᛞrekkr takes a bite out of cromt.
Tiny strikes Jasmaile hard enough to knock her off, and wounding her even more! Unfortunately, Þóðᛞrekkr's teeth fail to pierce the giant's skin.

Haldan steps forward and touches the large one in front of him with a smoking hand.
Concerned for Goliath, the great bard weaves in a soothing refrain to the music coming from his lute. Immediately the magic sets to closing wounds for the bear.
"Hey, you!" Dendillion shouts at the gnome. "I bet your father was so unpleasant that the Bleaching was probably a relief for everyone around him!"
Haldan tries to infect the tough giant with a spell , but nothing happens.
Dendillion nearly brings Goliath back to full health as he gets under Jasmaile's skin

"Can you not see the comedy? It's all a big f%*%ing joke." They're her last words. The bite and both arrows are completely fatal. The giants both let out a cry, not of emotional loss, but like a child who just had their toy confiscated.

Chark's spell fries one a bit. If the giants' wounds were concentrated, they're bad enough that you'd likely have one dead giant, or at least close to one.
