The party continues to discuss into the night, before eventually falling asleep and waking up the next morning.
After a quick breakfast, everyone packs up camp and sets out again. Only 30 minutes or so into the mornings journey, gruff, unintelligble shouts come out of the swirling fog and two large, fat hill giants come charging at the party, followed by two slightly smaller, but still big creatures with four heads and four very long, braided beards between them.
The Hill Giants and Ettins are about 60 feet away charging at the party with weapons raised!
Everyone roll initiative and take your first round turn if higher than 17.

Droop Initiative: 14
Ireniana readies an attack if a foe gets in front of her.
Whistler also readies an attack.
The Ettins both move forward, dashing to get up to the party. Whistler and Ireniana's attacks are triggered! Whistler hits the left Ettin once!
The Hill Giants advance and both chuck rocks at the party. The first is at Whistler: 26, and the rock crashes into Whistler for 30 bludgeoning damage. The second is at Ireniana: 13, which just barely manages to catch her, but it does 17 bludgeoning damage.

Lyngheid summoned her Spiritual Weapon and threw it as far as she could towards the giants to distract them, she then summoned healing energies and passed them into Whistler ( 5) and Ireniana ( 20).
Baeshra will dart around to the other side of the Ettin, trying to find a blindspot, transforming into a giant constrictor snake and wrapping himself around his target, trying to crush it.
Attack: 26 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll., on a hit the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained, and the snake can't constrict another target.

Umbriel sees Baeshra transform into a giant snake and wrap around the ettin. He'll dart back and around to the left, ending up next to the trees, 15 feet due west of Lyngheid's spot on the map. Once there, he'll Hex the constricted ettin, making his Str checks at disadvantage too. Then to follow it up, he'll cast two Eldritch Blasts at him. (I'm not sure if the giant snake's attack hit, so I'll roll a regular attack, plus an extra d20 roll for advantage if it applies)
Attack: 8 Damage: 9 - if advantage due to restraint, 19 to hit
Hex: 3 necrotic
Attack: 9 Damage: 5 - if advantage due to restraint, 22 to hit
Baeshra morphs into a giant constrictor snake, and then grapples the left Ettin. The Ettin is Restrained.
Nyx: TBD
Droop peels off to the west, and then fires two arrows at the left hill giant. 24, 26. Both arrows pierce into the giant's belly, doing 19 piercing damage.
Lyngheid summons her Spiritual Weapon, but it misses, and then heals Whistler and Ireniana.
Umbriel gets into position, Hex's the left Ettin on Strength checks, and then lands two Eldritch blasts on the Ettin.
Round 2:
Ireniana: TBD
Whistler: goes into a rage, negates 5 of the damage on himself, and then swings wildly, missing the huge beast in front of him.
Nyx (Round 1) Darts forward, and tries to stab the right ettin, misses, but follows up with a bolt from her crossbow, which hits, and then she backs away, avoiding an AoO.
Waiting on Ireniana's Round 1 held attack and Round 2 turn.
The Constricted left Ettin tries to break free, at disadvantage due to the hex: 6.
The right Ettin swings it's battleaxe at Ireniana: 12, misses and swing's it's morningstar at her as well: 13, but this attack bounces harmlessly off her armor!
The left Hillgiant trudges forward and swings at the giant constrictor snake: 17, it's great club bludgeoning into it for 26 bludgeoning damage. The giant swings again! 28, this time knocking it right in the head, and doing 22 bludgeoning damage.
The right Hill Giant runs forward and eagerly attacks the giant wood elf in front of him! 22, the greatclub smashes into Ireniana doing 18 bludgeoning damage, and the giant attacks again! 13, this time missing.
(What are the concentration rolls for? Wildshape isn't concentration and he hasn't cast any spells.)
If the ettin is still alive, Baeshra will tighten his grip on it and try again to crush it to death, if not, he'll shift to the hill giant. Taking a brief moment to focus his druidic energy to heal himself.
"Well it is a weapon of war. That and the fact that giants of different species normally don't get along says a lot."
"You don't think the castle could have been headed to town?"
