Davreya struggles to catch his breath, crushed between the wall and a pair of surprisingly heavy bears. "Ugh..." Davreya grunts. "Reisa...Doorgath...not that I don't appreciate the help...but I would like to breathe at some point." Wriggling his way free from the two hair covered boulders, Davreya looks down the tunnel with dismay. "More giants? Oh, dear..."
"Everyone okay? Peja, Reisa looks badly wounded--I think that rock rolled over her leg and broke it. Oh, and Kull, there's some giants up here that look like they need to have a word with you."
[SBLOCK]Assuming Davreya has an action available, he'll cast Haste on all his allies in range (which should be everyone except Garrel, who is up ahead). If Davreya doesn't have an action, he'll cast the spell at the next opportunity.[/SBLOCK]

Peja blinks unthinkingly at Davreya. Shaking the cobwebs out of his ears in disbelief at the tumult that just occurred, Peja grunts and pushes hard against the bears to try to wriggle free a bit of breathing room amidst the two hulking masses of fur. When Reisha reacts with a snarl at Peja's push, the dwarf looks up with alarm to see the source of the bear's pain and winces. Quickly working against time, Peja calls upon what power of prayer Delundar grants him and attempts to magically stitch Reisha's injuries.
After seeing to Reisha, Peja pushes past whomever is still in the alcove and darts up the tunnel to join Garrel, his newfound fleetness of foot greatly enjoyed.
[sblock=Psion, Doorgath]Peja will drop divination to cast cure critical wounds on Reisha. 4d8+14 = 33 hp restored. Move 40 feet.[/sblock]

"More giants," Ari says ruefully. "Why are they always so rude?"
She moves up behind Garrel and gestures, muttering in Draconic. Several small beads of force appear before her and speed unerringly to their tragets.

Chain Missile -- I don't have my books with me at work, so I'll have to wait until later to do the rolls, unless you want to do them, Psi. I'm having dinner with my family tonight so I can't guarantee getting it rolled up before tomorrow.[/SBLOCK]

No sweat. If I need to post it myself to get things rolling, I will do so... otherwise, unless the cable company gets their act together, this fight might be a bit slow, so no hurry.
Side note - Garrel announced he was ethereally moving behind the giants, so unless you are going to take similar measures, it's going to be a bit rough to move up behind him.

Oh, right! In that case, Ari will wait until one of the other big strong men moves forward, and then station herself behind them.

With a burst of newfound speed, Kull charges up the passageway, stopping just around the corner from the voices of the giants so that he can catch his breath and hopefully catch them off guard enough to get the first attack in.
[sblock=Psion]Kull is going to stop about 60ft short of the closest giant. From the map this appears to be out of the line of sight of the giants. On the following round he will then run around the corner, Greater Rage and attack. I assume that with a movement of 70ft/round he will be able to reach the giant 60ft away (i.e. there is nothing in the way that will slow Kull down).[/sblock]

The second Davreya finishes his spell, Kullrund is off rushing down the corridor. "Wait! Oh, blast. I'm not sure this is going to work out."
Davreya turns to Peja. "I'm a little worried... It didn't occur to me at first, but I think the giants actually want us to rush in. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but this is beginning to feel like a trap."
Davreya sprints cautiously up the corridor, taking cover at the junction. Peering around the corner, he watches the giants carefully, trying to spot any signs of trickery.
[SBLOCK=OOC]Assuming my Haste spell got off successfully, I'm going to creep forward and try to find a position where I can see the giants but still have some degree of cover relative to them (by peering around a corner, if possible). If possible, I'll then attempt a Spot check to see if I can notice anything unusual about the setup.[/SBLOCK]

The cure and the haste went off successfully. I'll assume everyone who hasn't posted yet will follow Davreya and Kull. And it's been (checks) 7 days since Garrel posted, prepping to attack, so I'm going to assume he attacks.
I'm gonna work up my map when I get a chance.[/sblock]
The party, after receiving the benefit of haste and cure spells, proceeds up the tunnel. Daylight peeks around the corner. Ahead is a massive female giant, and a few other giants behind her that look primed for combat. The giants look ready to bear down on the party.
Just then, there is some noise from behind the giants, out of sight, which draws their attention.
Out of sight from the rest of the party, Garrel lays into the surprised elder giant with an surprise attack as he comes out of etherealness, and strikes twice, once tellingly. However, the creature with it's impressive girth, is not felled. Garrel gets the impression that if his weapon was a bit smaller, that strike would not have been so telling.
[sblock=Garrel's attack details]
Two strikes hit, one was a crit, total damage 108.
Garrel - full attack sneak attacks (1d20+25=45, 1d20+20=38, 1d20+15=19, 6d6+11=38, 6d6+11=32, 6d6+11=31)
Garrel sneak attack crit (1d20+25=38, 6d6+11=38)

[sblock=Davreya]
The only thing that strikes you as unusual is that these giants are quite a bit bigger than the mature ones you met outside, yet despite that, three of the giants appear young.

Garrel has acted. The rest of the party is in the tunnel and may act.
