So my players defeated Cinderma at the entrance to the Jorgenfist valley and spotted the ~150 ogres and giants below. Since the blaster mage and the archer are both death on wheels from a distance, they've been assaulting the giants from far above boulder-throwing range and shooting rocs and wyverns before they can close to melee. They retreat into the mountains when resources get low, destroy any search parties, and then go hunting again. At this rate they'll kill or drive off Mokmurian's entire army! What to do?
1. Let them kill or drive off the army. I guess that wouldn't wreck the story entirely; sooner or later the party will enter the Jorgenfist compound.
2. Have the army retreat into the compound.
3. Have Mokmurian go looking for them.
4. Have Mokmurian summon more allies (Longtooth has been chased off, btw) who can fly and have decent defense.
Other ideas?

The PCs have shown their hand on their strengths. Big Mok would devise counters for these (protection from missile weapons, counterspells, etc) then have his Stone Giant army take advantage of their native terrain and drive the PCs from the mountains. That, or threaten to bring the mountains down on top of the PCs - rock falls, avalanches, cave-ins, etc. Other allies is certainly an option as well.
