The giant ship continues its forward pace directly towards the docks, where Whisper stands. The giant at the helm calls out for a halt to whomever is operating the many oars belowdeck, and the oars dig in for a moment before the greatship PLOWS into the docked fishing boats, moving them aside or smashing them into pieces.
Aboard the ship, you hardly feel a thing except for a sharp decline in momentum. The giants, seeing as they are embattled with Fey creatures, are thrown into chaos. The giant near the boggle steps out of the slippery oil, managing to avoid slipping and falling, but targets the smelly creature for extermination...
...while the giants that were attacked by the pixies are thrown into confusion. One of them attacks his fellow giant, bellowing hateful obscenities, while the other freaks out about the illusory flames and runs to grab a barrel of water to douse them.
The giant being attacked, meanwhile, is utterly dumbfounded and dodges while trying to shout to his compatriot, <STOP IT! IT'S ME, YOU FOOL!>
The fifth giant sneers as he shakes off the pixie's spell, just in time for Lydia's spiritual weapon to strike him again. Enraged at Lydia, and seeing as she was able to slip out of his net, he proceeds to rush in and grab her.
Lydia please make an opposed Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, DC 17, or be grappled by the frost giant.
There are more shouts from deep, giantlike voices from the lower deck. It's indistinct commotion, but it sounds like several different voices.
The greatship is now "docked" and can be boarded! If Whisper wishes to board, you may simply climb aboard using your claws.

Nirzeg took the rough docking stride, having instinctual made some slight foot adjustments to better withstand it. "And now the shits really gonna hit the fan now."He muttered darkly to himself. Yet despite such disparaging words, the Githyankis uttered some alien word while making the motion of drawing something from his chest. A green and purplish hued energy seeps out with the motion.
Though the effort left him visibly paler than before, it is with gritted teeth that the Githyanki made one last sharp gesture; transforming the chaotic mass in seconds into a thin bolt that streaks right for the giant. Even if by some miracle it avoided the shaft of energy, proximity alone made it shatter into bolts of pscionic energy that sought unerringly for its body. "Though I need not say this Zeek. Keep. At it!" He barked, spurring the flying cat into further action.
Action: Cast (2nd level)Soul Arrow at Giant attempting to grapple Lydia. Attack: 10 Damage: 13 necrotic damage. (Expending 3 hit die as well, inflict(hit or miss) 13 psychic damage.)
Action(Zeek): Unleash Draco Breath on same giant Tomac attacked, inflicting 13 fire damage. Half as much on a successful Dex Save(DC 14).

Using evasive moves (dodge action), Tomac gets to Gruff to mount up and take to the air. They get out of reach of the Giants and circle around awaiting chance for an attack.

Actions: Vall's Produce Flame: to hit: 17 damage: 7 Sprite 1's Shortbow Attack: to hit: 24 damage: 1 Sprite 2's Shortbow Attack: to hit: 10 damage: 1 Sprite 3's Shortbow Attack: to hit: 21 damage: 1 Pixie's Polymorph: DC12 WIS save or be a fish Blink Dog's Attack: to hit: 18 damage: 6 All creatures move away as far as possible
Whisper finds himself within striking distance of a single frost giant, the one who is trying to avoid stepping in the slippery puddle left by the boggle. (You can attack if you like, or use your action for whatever else)
Saves against Vall's fey:
WIS save: 10
CON save: 21
One of the giants is hit directly with the pixie dust. He is now fully transformed into a fish, and is flopping about helplessly on the deck.
Nirzeg's body grows to epic proportions in the span of a single second, and he is enveloped in short, coarse hair. He has become a mighty giant ape!
Lydia easily avoids the grapple, then calls another storm bolt directly at the Frost giant, which strikes in tandem with Nirzeg's soul arrow. The mighty blue berserker cries out in death and falls like an uprooted tree, his body blackened and withered by the powerful magic. Hopping over the dead body, Lydia dives numbly into the frigid sea. She can feel her limbs almost immediately start to spasm, as her muscles tense up from contact with the ice water.
Whisper and Vall move in to finish off the giant that was attacking Tomac, with a combo of strikes including those from the Fey creatures. The giant holds his side where Whisper's rapier ran him through, and attempts to retaliate against the tabaxi...
Of the four remaining frost giants on deck, one looks very worried about the non-existent, illusory flames (from phantasmal force), and has been trying to "douse" them with water from barrels on board. When the water appears to do nothing, he shouts in jotun, <MAGICAL FIRE! WATER DOESN'T WORK! THE SHIP IS LOST!>
The second giant, apparently still under the effects of the confusion spell, grunts in a hazy response to the panic, and sways back and forth before running towards the starboard side of the boat, tripping over the side, and falling with a great SPLASH into the icy water! There are now only three giants on the upper deck, one of which is grievously wounded and engaged with Whisper.
The third giant, seeing how Nirzeg magicked into an ape that rivals his own size, begins to swing wildly at Nirzeg's new, huge, gorilla-like form...
From below, many more frost giant marauders burst from the lower deck, and don't even stop to check what's on the ship. They dash off the greatship and make running leaps for the dock, all shouting, "Ild! Ild!" (which means "fire" in the giant tongue)
Indeed, there are now a few real fires that spread around the ship, sending smoke up into the air; however, they are relatively small, and could be put out with a little effort, unlike the phantasmal fire which is only visible to the one frost giant. The frost giant who believes that there is a magical, phantasmal fire then disengages from combat and tries to run down into the lower deck, as if he's looking for something. He completely ignores you all.
// Players up! In all the confusion, the lower-deck giants, of which there are a clean dozen, have rushed up and out of the ship, believing it to be lost. They seem intent on climbing the steps towards the town of Fireshear, and aren't paying you any attention at the moment. //
Though initially wary, the warning had been enough for Nirzeg to accept the magic. Now as a Giant Yellow Green furred Ape, he beat his chest and and started to roar a challenge; only to be cut off by a giant already prepared to carve him up. The flash of pain makes him lose focus long enough that Zeek spends a few moments coughing, but produces no flame.
Now infuriated for so rude an interruption, Apezig is quick to retaliate with a few big haymakers of his own. Meanwhile, a somewhat confused Zeek eventually made up his mind to do a fly in and help his master by playing with the giant's eyes.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The feys continue to attack the same giant (the giant currently engaged with Whisper). As Call hovers on top of the giants who are now on the docks, he pulls out an obsidian rock and drops it. The area where the obsidian lands starts shaking, and earth and stone erupt from it. The pixie focusing on Confusion starts to cast phantasmal force on another giant on the ship, forming the frost giant who jumped off attacking it.
Actions!
Vall: DC15 DEX save for half of 30 bludgeoning damage, 20ft area effect, and the area becomes difficult terrain.

Acrobatics: 18
Once onboard, Whisper draws his two rapiers and gets into his fighting stance.
"You have come to the wrong town, hombres ... " As he prepares to strike.
Vall conjures a fire spirit as it starts to shoot a ball of flame towards the giant being attacked by the blink dog. The sprites shoot their shortbows, and one of the pixies tries to turn one of the giants into fish as everyone flies out of the giants' reach.
