Latrius Lifts his bow and sends three long-ranged arrows flashing out. All three hit Giant#2 for damage, driving into the massive creature's broad chest.

leon Leon moves forward, then he casts a spell... Crown of Stars Several star-like motes orbit his head. One of those motes flashes as it leaps towards the closest giant. To hit: 27 Damage: 32

The javelin is considered a magic weapon and deals 25 piercing damage to the target, striking unerringly. The javelin disappears after it hits.
Leon uses arcane deflection to pass the save for the thunderbolt, as they failed it by one. Even as he is dealing with the thunder though two javelins made of air strike him, staggering him back on his heels. He is still standing, but injured badly. (just under 2/3 of his hp left.)
Iveodaenth will innate cast Control Winds around the castle, creating a strong wind blowing from the castle towards the giants. Ideally giving disadvantage to those wind javelins without hindering our ranged attacks. (100 ft cube that should include Nadariel and as many of the others as possible, so i would say NE corner of the S Tower and a good chunk of the central building.)

Naivara moves to one of the nearby battlements, drawing her new bow she borrowed from Yemphis as she fires two shots at one of the Cloud-Giants across from her. She then goes to hide behind the battlement if she has the movement to hide behind it.
Movement: To one of the battlements on the tower I'm on to gain half-cover if i can ((I'm assuming I'm on the roof because it's hard to tell with the Xs on everything.))
Action: Longbow, +2 Attacks (Using Sharpshooter for -5 to attacks for +10 to damage if attacks hit) Attack: 29 Damage: 28 Attack: 20 Damage: 25
Emmy will use a Legendary Action to do a Wing Attack -- there shouldn't be anyone within range of the attack part, since she's flying, but it should allow her to move half her movement to get closer to Giant 5.
Naivara (Thanks for the feedback on the map. I'll stop using the diagonal borders then, maybe I can do a background color or something instead... Will try some things out, but not changing this map at this point.) She shoots Giant1 twice, both arrows striking true, and driving deep into the gian'ts body.
Giant1 responds by sending a thunderbolt at Naivara... Thunderbolt (2 Actions). The giant hurls a thunderbolt at a creature it can see within 600 feet of it. The target must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 13 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Emmy slashes with her wing, at air, but propels herself forward another 45 feet with the effort.

Also, for everyone, do remember your dragons, in dragon-form, have legendary actions. If you wish to use those, please specify that, and what they do, as I am not tracking the use of those on my end.
Saint, unable to reach these flying giants even if he were to shift into his dragon form, instead raises his staff as a deep bell sound gongs from it. He targets any giants near each other attempting to slow them and their actions. ((wis 17))
Leto, on his turn, grins as he sees the forces around him take to battle, and the power that they wield. Simple shoots off two blasts, wincing slightly each time as the tattoo on his arm flares each time he uses his power.

Caradran glances at the distance of the giants and then looks at her whip with a frown. Even at full extension, these creatures were beyond the range of her whip. Deciding to forgo the whip, for now, she instead starts running forward and leaps onto the side of the tower. As she does so, she shifts form. Growing in size and stature as her scales are replaced by hair. Her arms get bulkier, and her snout pushes in and flattens. Hanging off of the starboard tower is a monstrous giant ape, with the only sign that this was once Caradran, a single line of green scales down her back.
Caradrape, then smashes a fist into the tower, taking a small section of rock out, and takes aim at one of the giants as she continues to climb down as fast as possible.
Move: 60 Feet (45 Feet running to the edge of the tower and 15 feet climbing = 5 feet down the side of the wall)

Do any of the giants respond to Kierro’s question?
Nadariel can not do much with them being to far away, so he will just search cover behind the wall and take the dodge action.

Still, a valid option to try, they might not know the storm giant's power can overcome that. I think it a valid response to the threat.
