Ipshivi scampered across the ceiling, peeking around the corner to get a better view of the room. Once there, she picked out one of her wands and put it to use- an instant later her chuckling voice could be heard back where the others were fighting...

Thanor Spikeshield
Thanor shakes his head, flinging sweat from his eyes. Driving the haft of his axe into the floor, he uses it to push himself up, scraping his greaves across the floor in a clanging, ringing racket.
Off balance and out of breath, he grimly swings up at the wolf, his axe whirring towards the canine's jaw.
OOC - That round is fine s@s, I'm happy with Thanor attacking while prone - it seems appropriate for him. Standing and attacking Wolf #12 again)

Morika gets swarmed by giants -- the one behind her closes her in and one of the giants smack her over her head and cause her eyes to glaze over briefly.
The others all struggle to get at Thanor, who still is prone on the ground, several spears and rocks get tossed his way, but only the giant looming over him is able to connect with the dwarf. Thanor luckily dodges slightly to the side of the blow, which almost smashed his head like a grape.
"Thank you." Sanne says to the halfork before stepping into the fray again.
Even for someone like her, fighting while standing on the body of a dead monster can hurt her ability to strike accurately, and her first rapier thrust found no target. Her second at least made some contact, and drops the giant with a loud thump on the floor.
Thanor shakes his head, flinging sweat from his eyes. Driving the haft of his axe into the floor, he uses it to push himself up, scraping his greaves across the floor in a clanging, ringing racket, but he is able to duck the lunging wolf next to him.
Off balance and out of breath, he grimly swings up at the wolf, his axe whirring towards the canine's jaw, striking twice and killing the wolf.
Voadam surveys the battlefield behind and in front of him, checking for anything that he could help with, finding nothing at this time, he remains content to watch.
No sign of Ipshivi can be seen, and no voice comes streaming back to the main group.
Morika clacks her heels together and disappears to the chagrin of the giants. She appears on top of the unicorn already casting.
Her hands shine blue for briefest of moments and the cold felt only in the northernmost regions in the middle of the winter envelops the closest giant. It seems the closeness of the Unicorn increases potency of her spell as it is really impressive cold and giant shivers and turns blue -- succumbing to the full effects of the spell, frost belching from his lungs.
She then slides off of the great beasts back, pulling one of her wands from it's sheath.
The unicorn she is riding heals her, but pays the price, as both giants club it over its head, causing it to snort a fine mist of red from its nostrils -- the celestial steed is almost ready to return to its former plane...
Aeranduil steps forward slightly and takes aim at the only giant visible to him and sends three giants streaking towards it -- the first pierces its skull, the second and third slide easily into its chest, staggering the giant.
The two remaining wolves converge on the unicorn and Sanne -- the first bites at the severely wounded unicorn and tears off a portion of its foreleg, while the other wolf bounds down the hallway and tears into Sanne, dragging the poor half-elf off of her feet!
Yoggrith strides forward and raises his spiked staff over his head and brings it down on the wolf attacking Sanne's head, a loud THWUMP is heard. "Bad dog." spits the halfork.

5' step to AS52; then full attack hill giant 35.
atk 1; dmg 1; atk 2; dmg 2 (1d20+13=14, 4d6+7=17, 1d20+8=21, 4d6+7=15) Natural 1 misses; modified 21 might hit; 15 damage, which is terrible on 4d6+7.
If attacked, Sanne will use her counterstrike bracers to counter-attack.

Your scouting of the chamber to the east reveals a large hall, with most of the young giants you saw earlier huddled in that area.
Numerous interesting things fill this place -- there are two large tables, 5 chairs, 2 stools, rugs, hides, and skins on the floors and walls. The tables have pottery flagons and platters on them, and pots and kegs are all about the place. There are trophies hanging on the walls -- heads (you see dwarven, human, drow, and various odd animals and monsters), skulls, skins, and some arms and armor -- several suits of armor stand propped up on spears, and a line of shields line the wall above the fireplace.

These giants seem hardier than the last few the elf had put down with his arrows. Determination now etching his features, the archer continues to send arrows streaking down the hallway toward the enemy.
AC 23, HP 56/64
Initiative +6 - Initiative Roll: 07
Rapid Shot, Point Blank Shot and Adjust the Range/Woodland Archer.
3 arrows: +17/+12/+17 (1d8+11+2d6 bane). Aeranduil will continue to target Hill Giant 35, and if he falls, he'll step forward 5' and switch to Hill Giant 33.
[sblock=Adjust for Range]
Adjust for Range – If you miss a foe with a projectile weapon, you gain a +4 bonus on all other attacks in the same round to hit the same foe.

Hm, what happens when you mistype. It would be much better tactical situation if I were at giant 13th former location...
S@s since Unicorn has magic circle vs evil and Morika is within it's radius did maybe attack or two miss because of it? Assuming the giants are evil of course.
Also, I assumed the giant 13 cannot attack because of squeezing in less area (squares near the wall are halved). Can unicorn do the same and make room for Morika to shift (5' step) to AR 48

1) Yes, one of the attacks did miss once I take that into consideration -- I'll update. thx.
2) The room is 20' wide, unfortunately, the mapping program is off by a pixel or two, which shows the room to be off center. I have been ruling that the room is indeed 4 squares wide, and that the giant and unicorn can both fit abreast in it. The same type of ruling was used with Sanne's tumble into the room.

From where you are standing, you do not have reach to attack either of the wolves or giant. (The wolf directly in front of you is dead.)
