Urgala manages to land a hit on the male fire giant's neck, but it barely pierces his skin. He shrugs it off, yelling something back towards his mate, who prepares to lob another burning tree... (she has two more)
With that, she begins riding off towards the fire elementals and will release a crossbow bolt at the nearest one when she is about 70 ft away from it.
Attack: 22 Damage: 15
Darathra rides to intercept the horde of little elementals. He crossbow bolt flies true, and seems to break a chunk off the hardened, rock-like skin of the magmin. Still they all press forward, running straight towards the apothecary and neighboring farm house...
okay I'm off for tonight, Rip will stick with Ink and Foehammer will stay with Flint. as soon as the giants are 120' away Rip will cast lvl 3 magic missle at the male giant
one 4 two 3 three 2 four 3 five 2
The glowing missiles slam into the armored giant, which really only causes him to pick up speed.
//DM Questions/Requests: 1) does the male giant have any burning trees in his hands or fires around him in general? 2) please advise when it's the players' turn - I know I took that first shot, but I'm not sure if the giants have gone yet or not... 3) please let me know when the closest giant is at the 60' mark from mu current position.... 4) please let me know when Narth is within range of the elementals for him to hit (30') - he can move 60' per round with just his movement and cunning action (using action to dash adds another 30' - i think)... 5) Ink seeing the glint in Ulgara's eyes when she takes aim at the giant, is going to use Quill to make sure she always has advantage on her shots (swoop harass and fly away) 6) I don't know about the rest of them, but I'm not clumped up with the group, I'm spread out some so that if a boulder or other large object comes my way, it's only me it's hitting...

//What I want to do is run in close and then let Foehammer attack, then use my action to disengage and move back... I want to be out of their melee range as much as possible during their turn.

The giants close in on your position, and are now both at 90 feet from the ranged attackers. The male giant has taken the dodge action, meaning attacks that target him will suffer Disadvantage.
// Now they are in range for you to do what you want to do, Marav //
The male giant now holds a massive sword in one hand, having drawn it earlier, and clutches some sort of rod in the other.
The female giant still holds two burning trees, one in each hand. The giants stand about 40 feet apart from each other, and are advancing towards the T11 area.
Meanwhile, the dozen little ignans swarm up the hillside to the east of town and rapidly advance towards the apothecary area! They split off in two groups of six now, and are in danger of overwhelming those defenders that are stationed on the east side of town (they can move and attack you next round).
Quill still harries the male giant, giving Urgala Advantage on her attack (so cancels the Disadvantage from dodge for her attack).
he swings wide on the way in, and on the way out not used to being on wolfback
The giant, acting defensively, places his sword in between Marav and himself, causing the druid-wolf to veer out of the way. Foehammer's attempts to strike the giant are thwarted.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ink will take a shot at the male giant ( Attack: 8 Damage: 10 ) and concentrating on the flaming sphere continues to move it towards the male giant's feet.
//I forgot I had the sphere still active, any chance I could get a couple more rounds of it moving towards the giant? Perhaps assisted by a tumble down the plateau? LOL //
Quill, swoops down at the male giant... Ink cries out, "Urgala, take your shot!"

Marav and Foehammer head toward the giant that Urgala nearly killed in a single shot.
