Quote from KappyTheLimey >>

Whistler rages and takes the dash action (100ft) to get down to the Fire Giants.

OOC: Mobile allows to ignore difficult terrain on a dash action.

It's not just difficult terrain, you are at the top of a 100 foot cliff.  Think "El Capitan" in Yosemite, but on a smaller scale.  Climbing down it by hand will take hours, and that's with climbing gear.

You've got Baeshra turning into an Eagle, Umbriel has dropped down onto the Duke's head, everyone else is still on top of the cliff.  There are plenty of boulders to lob down onto the giants.  There's also the air ship if you want to get down quickly.  That will take a couple of turns to load up and fly it down.  It would also put the air ship at risk of attack again.

To be clear, we're waiting on updated turns from Nyx and Whistler. 

(Sorry!)

We Nyx roll another boulder then?

 Sure, go for it!

OCC: Damage 21

I assume they just get a save? Attack roll if needed 18 - have not added a modifier.

(Not getting notifications again)

Boulder: 13

No, Dex checks for dropping the boulders, just like last time!

Nyx: 25

Whistler: 19

Giant's Dex Saves at Disadvantage due to being pummeled with boulders and tidal waves: 7, 5.

(Using damage from the rolls you just did).

The Fire Giants are up!

The Duke roars from the creek bed:  "I'm blind!" And then tears at Umbriel trying to grab whatever he can feel that just landed on his head.  Grapple: 27.  Umbriel make an Acrobatics or Athletics check, if lower than the Duke's, he grabs you and throws you off of him, and you take 3 bludgeoning damage.  If higher, you manage to avoid being grappled.  The Duke will spend the rest of his turn getting on his hands and knees and wiping at his eyes.

The other 3 fire giants pick themselves up off the ground and stand up, wincing as they do.  They see the Duke's legs sticking out from a sphere of darkness and one of them runs over, dashing to get there and grabs his feet as if to pull him out of whatever black hole is swallowing him.

The other uses his action to make a Perception check to try and see what is hitting them from above: 16.

The last one picks up several large boulders and then looks around trying to decide where to throw them.

The party is up!

Umbriel, make your Athletics or Acrobatics check to see if you are grappled.  If you fail, the Duke flings you away and you take the above bludgeoning damage.

(I'd need to roll a 21 on a d20 to pass, so let's just go with the fling)

Umbriel gets grabbed and goes flying, and when he lands he'll pick himself up and then try to back around, keeping the Duke (and the sphere of darkness) between him and the other giants. He'll also cast Tasha's Mind Whip at 3rd level, targeting the Duke and the other giant trying to help him. 

(DC15 Intelligence save, or the targets take 7 psychic damage, and have to choose whether to take a move, an action, or a bonus action. A successful save is half damage and no other effect)

Baeshra swoops down to scoop up another boulder and drops it onto the duke's legs, trying to at least cripple him.

Dex check for boulder drop: 14

Lyngheid sent another bolt at the closest giant and gave Guidance to Nyx.

Attack: 19 Damage: 19

 Make a Concentration check (DC10) for the 8 bludgeoning damage you took from the fling.

Lyngheid sent another bolt at the closest giant and gave Guidance to Nyx.

Attack: 20 Damage: 17

 Guidance and Guiding Bolt both take an action.  If you stay with your guiding bolt, Whistler will get advantage on his next attack.

( Ah, keep thinking its a bonus action for some reason...yeah, just the bolt)

Concentration check: 8 

Duke's Int Save: 19, Fire Giant Int Save: 10

Round 3 Continued:

Ireniana: ??

Umbriel picks himself up and maneuvers around, then casts his mind whip, and both the Duke and the Fire Giant take full damage and are affected!

Round 4:

Baeshra: drops his boulder, which misses and goes back to scoop up another one.

Nyx: ??

Lyngheid lands a Guiding Bolt on the Fire Giant that made the perception check, he definitely knows where everyone is now.

Whistler: ??

The Fire Giants!

The fire giant that was hit by Lyngheid's bolt shouts a warning to the rest of his crew and then moves towards the Duke.

The fire giant with the boulders looks up and decides he can't hit that far, and retreats towards the Duke, spotting Umbriel and using his action to Dash and get within Melee of him.

The fire giant pulling on the Duke's legs chooses to use his movement, and retreats 15 feet as he pulls the Duke with him.  When he sees the darkness following he shouts some more in giant.

The Duke, feeling the tug at his legs, chooses to move and stands up as his lackey finishes dragging him.  He reaches out his arms to steady himself, grumbles a few words in Giant and that's it!

The party is up for the end of Round 4 and the start of Round 5!

Baeshra's in the air getting another boulder to drop, Umbriel is 20 feet away from the Duke with 1 Fire Giant in melee, sneering down at him, and the rest are making a slow retreat down the creek bed.

Baeshra swoops down to grab a pair of rocks and drop them both on the giant in front of Umbriel. (Giant Eagle has multiattack, if this is possible, great, if not, just take first.)

Also since Ireniana knows giant, can she hear what the Duke says? 

Whistler pushes another boulder down.

Nyx will continue to roll with it and drop another boulder.

Dex Check 9

Damage 23

(At the Duke if possible?)

Whistler, make another roll, this is for your Round 4 roll with advantage from Lyngheid's Guiding Bolt, and then take your Round 5 turn.

Ireniana, make a Perception check to see if you can hear what the Duke said.

Baeshra, yes, two attacks, two claws, makes sense!

Need Round 5 turns from Umbriel and Lyngheid.
