Natasha shrugs I just assume ambush them while we have the element of surprise. That or draw them away with some distraction. They look hurt but even still taking on three giants? We'll want to free Harshnag as early as possible.
Augrek nods in agreement with Natashas assessment. Aye, sooner he's in the fight the better. As for me,I can join ye or keep an eye out for further dangers and try to warn ye should something pop up. I'll leave that to you to decide.

Zack smirks, tensing his muscles to the point you can see the veins bulging. His blue eyes shining with confidence. I do have a way with words Narz! Perhaps its not for everyone... but I've always been a good talker! And I already told you how. I'm not challenging them to a fight, I'm literally challenging them to an Arm Wrestling Match. They'll think they have the advantage due to their size but here's the thing... Generally the person with the shorter arms always wins. And my arm isn't even as big as their pinky! Odds are they won't think they'd lose.
Besides, My plan is the best of both worlds, while they're distracted by the 'silly human' you all can do what you need to. Whoever of you is the best at sneaking can go free Harshy-Boy while I do it and all Eyes are on Me (Trademark to Faye Wong). And then either I win and free Harshy, or we catch them all off guard. And since Claire's a bit quiet... As for you Augrek... I'd want you in a middleground role. Keep an eye out until and unless we engage the enemy. Even if something else shows up, if the giants are down we can deal with that bridge when we come to it. So since time is of the essence... he says, slamming his sword into the ground to pierce it and make it so it stand sup (mostly to avoid as much rusting as possible!) .. he begins to walk towards the giants boldly. His last words to Narz are As confident as I am.. make sure a few birds shit on their heads as the challenge commences. No point in takign chances. And Narz, don't be a hero, don't want you to end up like my dragonborn friend from before.
And nothing in the world would stop Zack short of death itself as he trudged to the Giants. Waiting long enough for everyone else to do their thing or get ready to do their thing... such as sneaking around or whatnot. He strode towards them with confidence, making sure his muscles were on display and once he got within easy shouting distance, making no effort to hide his presence... Yo! Frosties! I don't know your names, but I heard Frost Giants are the Strongest of ALL giant kind, and I wanted to see it for myself! So I can tell all my friends about it! I'm pretty strong myself! And I want to see if you're stronger than me or not.
So lets make a little bet! If I win, I can ask for any one thing from you, and if you win, you can ask me to do any one thing. We'll arm wrestle for it. Whatd'ya say? he said, flexing his dominant arms bicep. And I only wanna take on the strongest among you. So ... challenge accepted?he asks with confidence.
"Not sure why ya think I'm the hero type, but sure. At the very least, we'll be sure to make certain yer sacrifice ain't in vain." He assured the quartermaster with a small smirk thrown in at the end. "Also, can't promise they'll be able to shit on command. New.. bodies 'n all that. But I'll figure something out." At that, Narz turns to the others, knowing or believing it best not to argue. Plus, if things really did went pear shape within moments, ideally the rest would be in position to help by then anyhow. So with that in mind...
"We'll go with a combination. While Zack has them at least distracted -- preferably a little ways away from Harshnag, the rest of us will sneak in close, or at least close enough to be the most effective in taking care of his bindings. I'd only need to get within ninety, but this time I'd prefer a bit closer to 60 or 30." He then looks to Natasha. "Still got enough reserves to use that magical obfuscation of yours? If so, le it be done and us be on the move pronto." After that, if there should be no further revisions or complaints against the plan, Narz is ready to make his move with the rest, hoping to find at least a boulder or the like close enough at hand for the next to get a little closer to the action.
When it came time for Zack to make his play, one of the crows flutters down and mockingly calls out in giant, "Coward, coward", if any giant's look reluctant about accepting the challenge, hoping to goad them further before flying away out of reach and back to the boat to perch on.
The two giants look towards the approaching Zack before looking back to one another confused. They pay little heed to your words and simply reply by tossing a large rock your way.

(To Urben: Was Narz, Claire, and whoever else wished to were able to get within at least 60ft before things popped off?)
(OOC: 80ft. God it!)
'Yea, I thought it'a go about that way' Narz thought with an mix of mild amusement and faint empathy for Zack written in his face. Knowing, however, time wasn't exactly going to be on their side for long, a mental message sent to his ravens would compel them to take flight and start making dive bombing runs for the giant's face, and calling them all sorts of names in giant to keep them distracted for Zack and everyone's sake.
As that is happening, Narz takes out a small diamond piece and with a pulling motion with a free hand, appear to pull the colors from the light refracted within it while chanting words of power in goblin until only a cloudy ball of red remained floating betwixt his fingers. Then with almost casual flick of the finger, the gaseous balls shoots away from him, appearing to catch fire as it rapidly picked up speed until within seconds it's little more than a burning red streak that slams into Harshang's bindings about his arms and setting them ablaze.
"He ain't gonna last very long Claire, but I trust ya got'em." He says afterwards while trying to duck into whatever cover he could find in the heat of the moment. Although failing that, he'd at least draw ten feet closer at an angle away from the others, if but to split the giant's attention.
Narz's Action: Casting Chroma Blast at 1st level on Harsnag's ropes, choosing fire for the damage type. To Hit: 8 For: 15 of Fire Damage.
Raven's Action(s): Help keep both hostile giants distracted vs next upcoming attacks.
The birds fly in the faces of the giants distracting them as Harshnags bindings begin to burn. One of the giants runs forward towards Zack, axe in hand. As it closes in on the fighter it swings its axe down in a mighty arc. (Unless Zack has a way to avoid a 27 to hit..) the axe cleaves through Zacks armor like butter, the sheer force of the weapon proving no match for human made metal. Zack goes down from the blow.
Natasha curses and pokes.her head out from cover, firing an arrow at the giant that felled Zack. The arrow strikes its mark and as it does vines burst forth from the ice beneath the giants feat, wrapping around its legs. However the giant easily pulls its legs free, tearing the vines apart and causing them to wither away as its target breaks free.
Harshnags bindings finally weaken enough and he's able to break the ropes and bring himself to his feet. Harshnag quickly charges the closest giant and punches the giant in the face sending him reeling. The giant then retaliates, turning his axe on Harshnag. Harshnag takes the blows in stride but you can tell he suffered at least one deep cut.
Claire is up and I need. Death save from Zack. (Again Unless you can prevent the damage or.going down in which case you would go.before Natasha.)
Claire calls upon her light for her spiritual weapon, driving more power into the spell than she usually does (casting at 4th level), summoning the golden vine-wrapped spear next to the giant fighting Hashtag, and it stabs at the enemy.
Claire will then start moving towards Zack, hoping to get close enough to heal him on her next turn, and toss a mote of flame at the same giant.

For just a sliver of a moment, Narz entertained thoughts of using the distraction that was Harshnag to rush to Zack's more direct aid alongside Claire. But whether in part due to Zack's request or his more military minded sensibilities getting the better of him, Narz clenched his jaws and splintered his attention between bidding his corvid compatriots to renew their distraction long enough to unleash another silently but deadly ball of death on of the giants way.

Attack: 10 Damage: 27
The giant near Zack takes the firey hit with a grunt before grabbing a large chunk of nearby ice and tossing it Narz's direction. Unless narz can avoid a 21 he takes the full brunt of the attack as the massive chunk of ice strikes him.
