Only one giant is close to Shando. In fact, the giant is charging him still, and slams ito him, throwing him back ten feet (25dmg). Shando cant make a full attack now, but he does get to move forward (tumble check sucessful to avoid AOO), ducking under the stone giant's powerful but slow punch, and jumping into the air, uppercutting the giant. (35DMG +stun)

Kayla is headed towards two others when the other one on Shando's side that hung back picks up a rock and hurls it at her ,scoring a direct hit form behind. She falls face-down in the snow.

"So much for attacking a single giant together. They must not have such tactics in her training" Shando mutters under his breath.

"Naverone, I could use some assistance. Outnumbered 4 giants to 1 human and Kayla is down."

Shando continues to take down the giant.

Flurry: +25+25+25+20+15 (unarmed)
Unarmed damage: 4D6+7 (+2d6+1d4 vs Evil)
Stunning fist DC: 24
Dodge against this giant will give me an AC of 38 against it. Not bad for a nearly naked human in the middle of a dwindling snowstorm. ;)

Edit: What kinds of giants are these?

"I feel like I've been zapped by a dying demon who had just previously run a sword through my chest," Dyria muttered, as she climbed to her feet after being healed. She looked around at the battlefield, took stock of the situation, and then headed off to help Shando.

Stone, but they seem to be especially combat trained (i.e. they have a few class levels on em) That knockback thing is not a standard combat move or stone giant ability.

Will do. Timrin, Dyria and Alethia are more or less healed up and we should be joining shortly. Watch out for the issuing fire works. Naverone replied grimly and relayed.

OOC: I'm back from a weeklong vacation. Looks like I didn't miss too much.

Timrin has said nothing while Alethia went about her minstrations. His look is grim but distant as if he were in deep thought contemplating some hard truth. He seems oblivious to the utter chaos around him but rises achingly when Alethia is finished.

He looks at his companions appreciatively before charging off to help Shando.

For Naverone..
[sblock]"It is odd when you choose your time to die... there is no fear, no emotion at all really... almost a bliss... somehow I am... disappointed?"

His thoughts are obviously confused.[/sblock]

It's a normal reaction to surviving something you expected not too. I suspect your god has other plans for you than one involving an early death. the demon chuckled dryly. Still, it's good to see you alive.

Alethia grinned at Timrin and drew Abarax bane before heading off into the chaos of battle, the holy radiance cloaking her like an empherial cloud of light, heading for the giant Shando is facing, hoping to really cause some damage.

When Murdoch has a second (between blasts), he'll see if he can devour magic on the force bridge.

After a few tries, he manages to suppress it for several seconds (and he gets 45 temp hp out of it too). A few hundred invaders fall into the water, and the stone walls come crashing down on them. Water elementals, summoned by Fin, appear and create whirlpools to suck the invaders below water and drown them.

In spite of the progress made, the air attacks, seige weapons, wizards, and soldiers on rafts are taking their toll on the city's defenders. Their defenses were designed on the assumption that the mythal's defenses were active, but with the mythal apparently no longer under their control, the preexiting fortifications and tactics have serious shortcomings.

The group that slew the demon runs towards the giants, killing a few soldiers that get in their way. Meanwhile, Shando lays into the stunned giant, striking him five times and killing him with the last blow.

Murdoch and Barnak see bolts of energy streak form behind them towards the invaders charging accross the re-formed bridge, destroying the first few lines. Behind them, they see Taern Hornblade, the lord of the city (an archmage), as well as the high priests of Mystra and Helm, and Taern and Alustriel's twelve fighter-wizard sons, now leading the defenders from the front. "I see these are the reenforcements from Waterdeep. If you have anything you are holding back, now might be the time. Murdoch and Barnak feel envigorated by magics emenating from the cleric of Helm (+4 enh to str, dex, con, int, wis, cha, AC, Evasion, fast healing 5, DR 8/magic) Despite that, Murdoch and Barnak each take 40 dmg from assorted incoming fire during that time.

Shando poubds the stunne dgiant five times, killing him. Only one of the giants manage to hit the fast-moving Shando with their rocks (25dmg)
 

Alethia begins to glow even more fiercely than before as she runs towards the gates and prays softly in celestial as soon as the vast majority of the bad guys are somewhat behind her. Her words have an effect though as an empherial film begins to spread out behind her, coalescing into a shimmering silver curtain. Silver mists pool around it and wisps of light snake out to strike out at anything evil within its range. She staggers as the spell saps some of her strength but her attention is focused on the enemy at hand.

She then turns to the enemy still within the curtain of light and shouts out loudly in celestial, the clear ringing words audible to those near the castle gates. "Lady Selune, help me protect the innocents both within the city and without with the holy fires of heaven!" she prays and points towards the nearest clump of enemy fighters seeking to do harm.

ooc
casting curtain of light to befoul the enemy's army and flame strike on the closest clump of poor BBEG pawns on her side of the curtain and making certain that any city defenders within the range of the flame strike are forewarned through Naverone.

Shando turns to the remaining giants. "I will give you one more chance. Surrender now or face the wrath of the servants of the gods like your comrade here.".
