This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rushing into the fray, the paladin struck without hesitation, slashing at the Magmin upon his approach.
MOVE: Toward the Magmin that Kiza struck, if it's still alive, or if it's not then past it to the middle Magmin immediately north of the well ACTION: Attack the target (and presuming Bless is still in effect) * Longsword Slash - Attack: 18, Damage: 5 magic slashing (add 5 on crit) REACTION: Will use his Protection fighting style if anyone within 5 feet of him (possibly Spike) is attacked.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kiza's action: Kiza fires her bow, striking the closest Magmin. The arrow goes deep but, somehow, the Magmin is still standing. Kiza moves to the rear of the party.
Bjorn's actions: Bjorn moves his Spiritual weapon inside the circle of Magmin, near the camp's common well. The blade strikes quickly, splitting the Magmin in half. The creature explodes upon its death, coating a 10 ft. patch of earth in sticky, burning embers. Seeing the death of his intended target, Bjorn switches targets to the southernmost (south of the common well) Magmin and casts Toll the dead.

Magmin Save: 7
The air around the creature is filled with the mournful ringing sound. The creature grabs its ears trying to block the sound out but it becomes too much and it explodes, covering a 10 x 10 area in sticky burning embers, barely missing Bjorn and Enoch.
The stones and wood surrounding the common well are in flames and the stone is so hot it is melting.
OCC: Spike's intended target has been taken out. With what he sees happening to the Magmin does he change his actions? If he proceeds to attack, what is his target?
His plan foiled as Spike’s capable allies destroy the enemy before he can arrive, Spike retargets the nearest standing Magmin, pushing through the spray of dying foes to stab and slash at their second rank!
(OOC: two Magmin standing instead of 1, but Essendrum’s action will be the same. He passes two Magmin dismissively! He still counts on Absorb Elements and his full strength Ward to protect him from their fire damage and the +1d6 melee fire damage effect of the spell to demonstrate his mastery of fire and thus make his Suggestion to the giant more reasonable.)
Spikes Actions: Spike redirects his attacks to the nearest Magmin, which is the Kiza had hit with an arrow. As Spike attacks and the Magmin explodes with its body, in flames, covering a 10 ft. area.
Spike: make a Dex save DC 11 or take 7 fire damage.
Spike takes 3 h.p. of damage from the spewing of flames from the dead Magmin.
Esendrum's actions: Essendrum strides through the death of the 3 Magmin, with their dying flames all around him. He quickly casts [Tooltip Not Found] and the flames around him dim some as a fire glow surrounds the mage. (1 hp of damage to Essendrum's personal magical shield)
Essendrum steps forward and speaks loudly, his comments directed toward the Fire Giants. The one that is not digging seems to take an interest in the mage, turning to hear what he has to say.

Giants wisdom save: 8
The giant immediately drops to 1 knee and bows his head. "Meg Lord" the kneeling giant says. "We ha locatt the item and ha sent the orcs and magmin zo distract the humans so Am and meg bror can retrieve den.
My Lord" "We have located the item and have sent the Orcs and Magmin to distract the humans so I and my brother can retrieve it.
The Fire Giant stops digging and looks from his brother to Essendrum then back. Insight:3
“Bonam broren at bonam broren proclasta! Abst meg bonam auk distormeg, po supred grend adven am thorap at meg distormeg tem. Procul den meg instant!”
You have done well and the Brothers shall be honored indeed! But it is also well I came in disguise, for an unexpected group of powerful adventurers happens to be in town and I have them fooled for now. Bring it to me quickly.
Having noticed that Bjorn showed some interest in his note taking at the boulder and knowing that it is a favored language of the very wise, Essendrum says in Draconic:
“we may soon see what they have come for. If we must fight, strike the digging giant only, for the other is my thrall for the moment.”
Essendrum mentally directs his raven to alight on the far side of the giants, far enough to be uninteresting but close enough to fly in if needed.
(OOC rolled a 10 for deception in the game log for the benefit of the Giant not compelled by the Suggestion spell. Good thing he’s slow.)
Essendrum stepping forward draws the attention of the remaining Magmin.
Attack: 17 Damage, if hits: 5
Flames jet out from the Magmin and strike Essendrum. OCC: Absorb Element grants Resistance so Essendrum should make a Dex roll-success 0/fail, 1/2 damage.
Essendrum's spell [/spell]Aborb Element[/spell] reacts to the attack and a jet of flame comes from him, striking the Magmin. It has no effect on the creature.
Essendrum fails his save (see roll in log) so his Ward takes another 4 damage.
OCC: Ok, Essendrum had to do 2 saves 1st for the Magmin that attacked him. 2nd from when the Magmin exploded from Enoch's attack. Did Essendrum renew his Ward prior to the Giant's becoming visible? If not, after checking back posts, his ward should be down and any more damage will result in him taking direct damage and will need a concentration roll for Suggestion Spell.

Enoch may act
(( Is Enoch in range of the last Magmin? If so, you can use my last post (top of the page) and just apply it to him. ))

Enoch can close to Essendrum's location and attack, if that is your action.
Enoch moves forward and strikes the Magmin with his long sword. The Magmin explodes with the sword strike coating the area with fire and magma.
Enoch, Essedrum, and Spike will need to make a Dex save. DC 11
Death Burst damage: 9 (half damage upon save)
Essendrum fails his save (see roll in log) so his Ward takes another 4 damage.
