Eoghan cast his spell in a low rumble, and little Cordit grew and twisted until she was an enormous ape - equal in size to any hill giant, and more muscled. She laughed, and it came out a deep hollow cough.
The hallway that led to the forge was sized for giants, and she lumbered down it, knuckling the ground. The group that was to assault the forge followed, preparing themselves for violence.
In the north, near the western cellblock, Tamanar took one last look at the cell that he had spent four years in. If it weren't for the patience of the elves, he'd have gone mad. He lifted his shield, liberated off of a bugbear corpse, and waited grimly for the regular beat of the smith's hammer to stop, the signal that the others had engaged the forge.
Zandor lingered in the hallway in front of his cell. He and Olwen had been instructed to hold back, and the merchant had a plan: if the assault went badly, he would move back into his cell and pretend to be sleeping. Though he had been there for a fraction of the time that Tamanar had, his mind was not as strong. Olwen stood by. The old man tried to reassure the frightened merchant, but it was no use.

It had only been twenty minutes since they had come to the cellars, but it felt like far longer. Eoghan was still in the guise of an orc, and he stood with the other orcs. They knew that he was not one of them, but they hadn't had time for an explanation. When everyone at the doors to the forge were ready, the first two orcs flung open the doors and stood to the side as Cordit barrelled through, followed by Bible.
Two dwarves scattered in front of her, one of them dropping his tongs. The fire giant, who had been hammering at a steel chest-plate - armour sized for a hill giant - stopped his hammering and looked up in a furious rage.
* * *
As the hammering stopped, the two guards opened the doors to the torture chamber and stood to the sides to allow Tamanar and Valda to take the lead. A hill giant stood very close to the doors, and he spun around, holding a short but fiendish-looking crop.

"Orcs, Dwarves, throw off the chains of the bigguns! Death to the giants!"
"You craven, coal-witted canker-sore - you might make swords but I understand your own is just a dagger!", Eoghan roared at the Fire Giant.

Just prior to opening the door to the forge Quinn calls on the power of the stars. The bow tattoo on the back of his right hand begins to glow faintly and then increase until the druid is glowing brightly. As the doors are flung open Quinn he casts guiding bolt at the fire giant. The bolt of starry light hits. He then makes a gesture as if drawing a bow and an arrow of pure light forms and streaks towards the giant. Unfortunately Quinn does not want to hit Corbit and the arrow goes wide.

Bible's mouth falls open when she sees Cordit turn into a giant ape and head into the forge.
"Be careful, me swee' Cordit, an' don't get yerself kill't," she calls out as she looks on with pride at the halfling's bravery.
Having agreed to Jack's plan to assault the forge, she turns to Eoghan and Quinn, gesturing to the doors to their north, and says, "Le's try an' make sure no one get's out that way."
Then, drawing her sword, she turns to the orcs behind her and says, "C'mon, le's free yer frends!"
"Pardon me, good sir or madam," she mumbles as she leaps past the dwarf that stands between her and the fire giant, coming toe-to-toe with the great smith as she jabs it twice with her sword.

As the doors fling open Valda pushes forward past the guards (assuming allied spaces count as difficult terrain) to engage the giant. She draws blood but knows that as a hardy lot, hill giants are going to be able to take a lot more before dropping. She invokes the rune inscribed on her shield to draw upon that very toughness of their opponents and use it against them.

Jack saw the familiar instruments of torture and frowned. "Not good," he muttered as he let a quarrel fly at the hill giant Valda just engaged.

As the doors opened and everyone began to rush forward, Eoghan called out to the Fire Giant smith, insulting him. He looked up angrily and smoke puffed from his ears and nose.
Quinn struck the Fire Giant with a bolt of light, but missed with a second bolt as Cordit bounded in front, knocking the hot metal off the anvil. She began to pummel the giant with her big, ape-fists. The giant held a work-hammer in one hand, and he struck at her head, leaving big welts, as Bible moved beside her to help.
The reeve stabbed the giant twice in the leg, and he felt it. With his off-hand, the giant reached into the forge and pulled out a hot pair of tongs. He tried to clamp them at Bible, to get her off him, but she ducked to one side as the hot metal went clack clack over her head.
