Contention in the ranks maybe? The white dragon, knowing that the castle is under attack decides this is an excellent time for him to betray the giantess and steal the ring for himself as he had been planning all along. Pump up the giantess and her minions to make them an epic challenge for the PCs and in the middle of the encounter have the dragon and his kin burst in through the ceiling. It suddenly stops being about surviving and perhaps even beating a high level foe and instead becomes about being caught in the middle as the white dragon and his kin duke it out with the ice giantess and her minions. In the end the giant lies dead, the party has a new BBEG as the dragon has made off with the ring and there’s a room full of loot left behind, but to claim it they must fight off the giants they bypassed earlier, who’ve come to investigate the commotion.Ahahahahahahaaaaaaahahahahhahahahahahaaaa *breathe* aaahahahahahahahhahaaaacanIpleaseplayinyourgame

You asked for a memorable encounter, the idea of PCs scampering around as dragons are breathing ice at the non-immune to cold minions of the giantess(if there are any), and throwing lightning bolts at the giants as they're immune to all their frost spells, maybe one of the dragons cast invisibility as it goes in for a melee attack and all the players can see of it are the giant foot prints appearing in the debris created by the battle, maybe another casts Freezing fog, hampering visibility, greasing the floor and doing cold damage each round, all the while the giants are picking up large chunks of ruined ceiling and throwing them at the dragons, once the fog goes up their accuracy is hampered and rocks could begin landing all over, requiring reflex saves from the PCs to avoid, well that seems like a memorable encounter to me.
