Dreadnought hears the oncoming thuds of more giants, but grimly keeps to his task. He knows that giants can take a lot of punishment, and only focused, unrelenting attacks can bring them down. It's imperative to concentrate on one at a time, because each one is capable of dealing terrible damage.
To that end, he tries to finish butchering this one before the blindness wears off, and it becomes a true threat again!
He chops at the blinded foe twice with his greatsword and lands vicious wounds with each swing -- blood and gore begin to seep from the giant as it moans in blinded pain.
While the warforged goes about the butchering of the blinded giant, the nimble gith takes advantage of the fracas to sneak down the stairwell and around the giant.
Morph, from his invisible vantage point watches as the giant's curse and yell as wounds appear on their legs. Must be the spell Darv just cast. Seeing the gnome being rushed by a giant, Morph seeks to slow the titan with another spell, much similar to the one employed inside, except this one is flammable...
Back inside the stairwell, the shifter sets into the giant with a feral ferocity -- clamping its jaws down tightly onto the giants sinewy thigh -- his teeth glancing off it the large bone in its leg before he rears his head back and impales the giant with his enlarged horns. The giant sputters briefly, but keeps its feet. [Sorry - made mistake with my math. >< - Giant still up.]
Darv! Git! Inna! Tower!
Hudder hisses from his vantage point
The bloodied giant in the stairwell chops blindly at the warforged who set into him, but both swings miss cleanly -- he shouts again in frustration at his unseen attackers and bellows for aid from those outside.
The first giant steps out of the slime and continues towards the stairwell, heeding his injured brethren's call -- he gets to the corner and spots the dwarf and immediately brings his greatclub to bear -- his first swing is deftly evaded by the smaller foe, but the return swing catches Hudder offguard and knocks him backwards.
The second giant screams in pain at something as it walks towards the tower, his feet covered in blood - it looks as if his movement is impaired.
