(OOC: Should i get an opportunity attack, since I am standing with Gwen and I think Im right at it.)
"You do not run from a paladin of Iroas, you will not flee to attack someone else later" Gilded swings the longsword at the giant. To hit: 17 Damage: 6
Oh I just saw this. From 3 hours ago. We already did Init for you awhile ago ^^ That roll for attack and damage can be you're attack of opportunity though!
OOC: Gilded was shooting in the back yes? I let him move 30 feet to heal Jess without getting attack of oppturnity to himself from the giant because I didn't think he was melee range. So for Gilded I would have to say no unless you wanna retcon that part where he went to heal and roll an attack against him and hope he isn't hit.

yep, you did.. I should have said that I moved back to Gwen and I didn't.
Gildaug and Vex together trip the giant before striking it down! The giant huffs in one last breath of air before his eyes went blank.
"Its.. Over and everyone standing? I felt I hardly helped at all. Still.. I'm glad it's over. So Drez I've questions for you! After we are done looking around of course."
Combat is over the party is free to do whatever they please!
OOC: I used Vex's roll from before for his attack of Opportunity
Also everyone's standing! It's hard to make an encounter actually "Tense" for 8 people but still hope that was challenging enough ^^
In DnD they say NPC gets EXP if they were the tipping point or reason the party won. Lmop Sildar for example
But honestly Gwen may have one good round for 27 damage but you guys had a whole other round coming on that Hill Giants ass xD You guys really didn't need her so full EXP ^^
Jess is still shaken from the unexpected appearance of a second giant and its sudden attack on her. She remembers the flash of crashing pain, then all going dark… Them she remembers warm light suffusing her, pain being relieved, opening her eyes to see Gilded bending over her. He had saved her? She hovers near him, instinctively feeling safer with him nearby, as she looks all around.
“That’s all of them, I hope? We should make sure, we don’t want any more harm to come to travelers.”
A part of her is afraid to say it, wants to just run to safety, but she must put on a brave face in front of the others.
“Let’s find their lair. They may have accrued considerable wealth by waylaying people. Also we are looking for information that might connect them to Simon or whoever is pulling these strings.”
Pushing down feelings of fear, she tells herself she’s being silly, and time to get over it.
“I’ll scout around as a deer, I can cover a lot of ground if needed and should appear inconspicuous.”
With that, she transforms into a deer and cautiously moves in the direction where the second giant had come, careful to look and listen for possible danger.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jessica is keeping an eye out (passive perception) looking from place to place. She finds a cave, though the cave is more of a den. It isn't large but leading up to the den was many animals and people laid as corpses. Half eaten or bones only, from she can see from here in the den is that it is empty. In the den appears to be a large wagon. The wagon has the crest of "Radiant City" upon one side. As Jess left Gwyn looked around the group to make sure no one was bleeding or dying out. Before long she noticed strange markings on Sloden's arms.
"What in Dawn's name is that? You lot have many odd secrets huh? Nevermind I shouldn't waste time on wondering upon that. Should anyone go with Jess you think? Just in case? Did she seem.. Okay to you guys?" 10 (Gwen's Insight roll on Jess before she left)
Gwen knew.. Knew it all to well, fear, anxiety,worry were all plastered across her face. Was it a good idea to let her go like that? Gwyn worried a moment in silence as she stood beside Drez and Gilded waiting for the group to decide on it's next move.
”Zat vas a hard battle. Good job, everyone.” Vex says, panting and hoping they all forgot he was a criminal by now because of the fight. His eyes and glaive revert to their original colours, as he polishes the blood off his glaive and sharpens it.
Answering Gwen, Gilded says "Yes, I do believe she was a little shaken by the fight. She is obviously one with a caring and nurturing nature, so glad to have her with us." He looks around to find Corvus. "Corvus, you are the only one of us that can keep an eye on her, would you mind flying up to check on her? Are you injured, you look strange?"Perception: 17 With that, he joins Gwen in searching on/around the bodies of the giants. Investigation(if needed): 5
As he searches the bodies, he tells everyone, very proud to be with your all, you are very brave warriors. He gives a side glance at Vex and Drez. 'Not sure what to make of those two, they fight with valor and bravery but do not possess honor ' he thinks to himself.
Drezmir nods to Gwen, glad that she doesn’t seem shaken by his demonstration with the giant. “I understand. It’s…not something I find easy to talk about, but I will explain the best I can.”
He turns to Gilded, catching his sideways glance. Flashes of the people back at his village cross his mind, their looks of fear, awe, and mistrust alongside reverence cross his mind. All those things led him to such numbing solitude. He’d hoped that he would not be met by those looks beyond the borders of his home. Why had he used that curse? At least it had been useful in this difficult battle.
He hopes that Gilded will come to understand his calling, he would hate to lose such a good friend, “I…hope this doesn’t put a wedge between us. I’ll answer whatever questions you have once we get back to the tavern.”
He looks in the direction that Jess took off in. “I can go after her if you do not want to Corvus.”
Gilded likes Drez, even if he isn't sure about his methods. "Please do my good man." He gives Drez a weak smile as he continues to search. He thinks 'Why would a man desecrate the remains of the dead? It seems so vulgar'
Inside, Vex is slightly pleased that so far they forgot about his past. But from everything in his life, it has scarred him, and now he has the burden of hiding what he has done in the past and redeeming himself.
Jess will not mess around with the cave by herself (I'm not scared, just being prudent, she tells herself) and will instead run back to the group and transform back into her watery self. Already she feels a bit better, facing her fears and staying proactive.

Gildaug takes a mighty swing with his longsword...
Attack: 8 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

"ALWAYS GIVE A MONSTER AN EVEN BREAK!"

(And another crit! Nice one Gildaug!)
(wow that dice roller is really annoying...)
Vex uses his reaction to attack the giant with his glaive once more. To hit if necessary: 9 Damage:9
I got the same rolls. Thank you dice roller

"I found the cave, come with me!"
“Alright then. Vy not?” Vex says after putting his glaive on his back. He then walks where Jess had come from.
