[OOC]Londis nailed it with Terrible Remorse, which is just a brutal, brutal spell, then peppered it with arrows until he killed it before it could run.  That's getting a little ahead in time, but it was that kind of combat[/OOC]  Triixie started casting and another red dragon appeared, screeching at the first one.  Whethe ror not it took notice I'm not sure, because it took more arrows from Londis and fell, crashing into the Tunadoc Academy.I wanted to stay by the tower, but I saw five giants marching up a street with bags filled with something wriggling and couldn't just sit by watching.  One was hearing heavy armor and clearly the leader - time for me to try my new spell out.  He froze in mid-stride and I swooped in to deliver the coup de grace - which didn't exactly go well.  [OOC]Time to carry a weapon for killing - I did a whopping 3 points of crit damage with my staff and he saved against death.  Time to stick a longspear into my haversack.  This is actually a rule that irritates me somewhat - why on earth wouldn't a Scorching Ray or a spell like it be just as effective as whacking a helpless foe with a mace?  Silly.[/OOC]  But with 4 other giants gathering around the leader and my invisibility about to expire, I had to get out of there.behind me Trixie had spotted a large stone giant coming up the street with an elf in silks and a Ulfen we'd seen before at the Hidemarches.  By the time I'd gotten there the elf had dim-doored up to Londis and in addition to clobbering his griffon also zapped the hell out of the inquisitor [OOC]a magus who cast an intensified shocking grasp through his rapier and critted - he would have done it again the next round but Londis grabbed him and I stuck a disruptive on him via a lightning ball[/OOC].  The Ulfen had squared off with an already battered Tofa (who had already taken down a giant and several cave bears with only a little help from Eurayle) and that was a frothing snarling mess that ended with Tofa staggering away [OOC]we thought she'd died - reduced to negative hits while raging means you're a goner - but later realized her DR hadn't been applied to the final blow[/OOC].  I froze him in place with Hold Monster before he could finish her off, but this was after the teleportation of the others.  Trixie had set up the illusion of guards that the giant had actually wasted time fighting through before it grabbed some sort of stone from the base of the tower.  Then it ran back to the elf, and that's when the other one appeared and the zapped away.  I was furious at our failure and webbed the five giants when they showed up, but Eurayle's snakes reported that giants were leaving with Gavrin Deverain and other townspeople in sacks, and as low as I was on spells that wasn't going to happen.  Tofa was barely standing and Londis looked exhausted.  Trixie was three apples high again and nobody had seen Reznak at all.  Shalue's husband had been incinerated by the dragon and she's gone nuts, so with a curse I zipped up in the air and raced off after the giants. Wasn't exactly sure what i was going to do when I caught them, though . . .</blockquote>
