"Rats! I knew you giants were traitors and I should have exterminated you on our first meeting!" Leira casts greater invisibility to disappear from sight as soon as possible, stepping back to avoid opportunity attacks if needed.

Sorry guys I didn't see the pm. Will save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 What are you doing?
Kaos will cast defensively and put up a shield.
Concentration check DC17:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
After Etena emerges and tries to put a Hold Dragon Disciple, Kaos puts up a Shield.
If at first you don't succeed....
Etena cast another Hold Person at the Dragon Disciple. She then the moves toward the massive stairs.
Again, DC16 Will Save.
Leira casts Greater Invisibility on herself and disappears.
Droja communicates her mood and begins to summon in some help.
Ferrin moves toward the double doors in a near state of shock, "Mistress! They have been helping us."
The other Hill Giant starts getting agitated with the sudden violence, but Lug goes to him and stops him, and in the Giant tongues says, "This is not our fight."
"Snake!" Leira keeps cursing while she moves forward to the base of the stairs to be on sneak attack range "Are you ok Kaos?" she retrieves a small dart focus and a rhubarb leaf she uses to conjure a acid arrow that blobs from her hand to Etena.
Acid arrow+PB+invis (touch, flatfooted):1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 20 Acid damage+sneak attack 3/4:2d4 + 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + (3, 6, 6, 2) = 21 The damage is continuous, which means she will need concentration rolls to cast next round if the arrow touched her
She calls back then to Lug "Lug! Zure arpa jotzeko behar dugu eta esan bere buruari eta Forgeari amore emateko!"
Giant:
"Lug! We need you to play your harp and tell her to surrender herself and the Forge!"

I think that might have hit. If so, then Leira takes 33 points of damage.
The Invisibility rules are far from complete in my opinion. Would casting a spell while invisible create an Attack of Opportunity? I would think with a spell with a Verbal component, that the same 50% miss chance exist. @Leira, do you have clarity with this?

@Mazra I agree those rules are sparse. The relevant bit in this case is not in invisibility or the attack of opportunity sections but on the total concealment on combat, sorry in advance for the long rules ooc ;)
PRD: Total concealment wrote:
You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know what square or squares the opponent occupies.
Also of note in this situation about invisibility:
PRD: Pinpointing and invisibility creature wrote:
A creature can generally notice the presence of an active invisible creature within 30 feet with a DC 20 Perception check. The observer gains a hunch that "something's there" but can't see it or target it accurately with an attack. It's practically impossible (+20 DC) to pinpoint an invisible creature's location with a Perception check. Even once a character has pinpointed the square that contains an invisible creature, the creature still benefits from total concealment (50% miss chance). There are a number of modifiers that can be applied to this DC if the invisible creature is moving or engaged in a noisy activity.
Also of note:
PRD: Invisibility wrote:
If an invisible creature strikes a character, the character struck knows the location of the creature that struck him (until, of course, the invisible creature moves). The only exception is if the invisible creature has a reach greater than 5 feet. In this case, the struck character knows the general location of the creature but has not pinpointed the exact location.
Leira attacked from distance, and then it is a case between having to pinpoint and the being struck you know where the invisible creature is cases. But I guess since there was an acid blob flying it has sense the giantess new where exactly she was in this case.
Leira says the magical words to cast displacement, then steps back to confuse Etana about her position, and touches Kaos to release the spell on him. The half-dragon seems displaced 2 feet away of his actual position.
She then draws the giant bane crossbow while her acid arrow keeps damaging the giantess.
Acid continuous damage 2/4:2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Etena will have perceived Leira. That attack stands.
Leira hits Etena with an Acid Blob.
Droja summons in a Large Air Elemental. It flies toward the Ancient Slag Giant in an attempt to move above and behind Etena. The Air Elemental strikes the Slag Giant.
The biggest problem in this format is initiative. Etena goes before Leira, so her movement an Acid Blob actually happens afterward. Likewise, giving Kaos Displacement will occur after Kaos' attack in Round Three.
Sorry I misunderstood the initiative order. If I am right now, Etena still has to take her 3rd round action, and the displacement will be Leira's round three action then, isn't it? Thanks!
I have everything for Round Three. As a side note, Leira is the first character I have GM'd in a long time with Greater Invisibility. Thanks Leira for the greater clarity.
Round Three
Free from the Hold, Kaos makes a nifty move to avoid an attack.
Why would she not have been able to take an AoO?
But the Dragon Disciple delivers a vital strike in a vital area that drops the Ancient Slag Giant. Etena falls. The further damage from the acid kills the Ancient Slag Giant.
Seeing her mistress fall, Ferrin steps out and holds her hand up at the approaching Stone Giants, "Gelditu! Egoera amaitu da."
Giant:
Stop! The situation is over.
The Stone Giants relax clearly obeying the younger Stag Giant.
The other Hill Giant relaxes. Lug takes a deep breath.
Droja gives Ferrin a wary eye. She is ready to attack the younger Stag Giant if necessary.
Ferrin speaks in Common, "My mistress had gone mad. She was obsessed by the Forge. She also held a contempt for your kind. She was my mentor. I could not strike her." She looks over toward Etena, but interestingly didn't go over to her to render aid. She continues, "Stag Giants, as well as Stone Giants, have tried to live in peace with your kind for centuries. The Storm Tyrant tried to end this. Let this be the end to the violence and the madness. Let's light the forge as a sign of peace and not of war."

AOO I wasent sure but because of the angle Kaos took to get to her. We will see. But why know she would know that our friends would be back. Did she think you would rally to her?
Kaos casts DM and searches Etena.
perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
@Mazra that's fine, invisibility is complex to handle. When it came to strike Leira like that I thought she might have see invisibility or blindsight after all
With zero confidence on what any giant might say, Leira remains silent. Quietly picking up the few healing potions she has and drinking them, ready to face the remaining giants if it comes to.
Potion of CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Potion of CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Sic. I need to rely less on Haskyll's healing and request some more healing pots... the young girl thinks for herself.
HP 49/69 AC 19 TAC 15
Only when it is clear that Ferrin will hold to his word and the giants are not going to attack, Leira talks up "I don't judge her for hating us. I do myself find difficulties understanding our alliance"
While Kaos inspects the body, Leira's invisibility fades out "So what are the differences between you Stag Giants and the Stone ones?"
