//yes, flint will provide guidance on any of these checks//
// Just for clarification, you can choose one character at a time to offer guidance—if you want to go with Marav, you can roll that Dexterity (Stealth) check at a +10 bonus, or you can just give Ink the guidancenow and hang back, letting him choose when to use it. //
//Marav casts pass without a trace on Angel (and himself and anyone in the area) then goes stealth and gets as close as he can without disadvantage.//
Stealth: 33
//Stealthing mainly to see what I roll with a +16 :D//
// I'll need everyone to choose now whether they go with Marav (and thus benefit from his spell on the approach). You can approach within about 120-ish feet without having to roll with Disadvantage. Getting closer than that will require a roll with Disadvantage. //
//flint ain't got no sneak in him. He'll cast guidance on ink then will approach in the open when signaled. //
//Really wish I could keep my earlier stealth check... LOL//
Ink accepts the guidance from Flint which he will use on his communication with the stone giant. Ink goes in with Marav, getting to about 120' of the closest stone giant... // Stealth24 //
Upon reaching the range of message, Ink will pretend to be quietly digging in the ground as if he were scrounging the ground for scrap (// Performance5 //), and then point at the closest giant using his body to hide the finger and cast message, whispering in a slow, deep, gravelly voice, "Annam the All-Father craves not destruction - unite, find Ostoria - restore the Ordning." // Persuasion or Deception with guidance... 14 //
Ink and Marav manage to remain completely hidden from the giant, near the rubble of one of the houses, using Marav's magic to blend in with the refuse.
// As soon as I know what Rip is doing, we'll progress to what happens with Ink's message and Angel's ability check to sneak closer... //
The stone giant sees Angel approaching. He seems to be listening to a whispered voice, but he shakes his head as if trying to clear it. He picks up one of the many rocks he and the others have piled on the remains of this village and shot-puts it directly towards Angel!!
Attack: 11 Damage: 23 bludgeoning
// If Angel is hit, he must succeed on a DC 17 Strength Saving Throw or be knocked prone. //
Ink sees the giant throw the rock, but then shake his head... Ink whispers to himself, "He heard me..."
Ink recasts message at the same giant, attempting the same voice, but with an angry edge, "We BUILD - not raze. Law outweighs chaos. Rebuild Ostoria to glory. Lead the Ordning."
// Persuasion/Deception, if Intimidation +3: 17 //
Rip will stick close to flint up to ~60 feet of giants, casting fire bolt at the giant that threw the rock as soon as I'm in range (120 feet) 23 for 13

// You can do this one round from now, if you use your action to dash this turn. //
Being 75 feet out Angel is going to do what he does best and lead the charge running in his full 45 feet and then letting out two Sun Bolts before using Patience Defensive to get into a Dodge stance.
The giant raises his hand to try and protect his face as Angel pelts him with sun bolts.
Lady Hawkwinter, seeing the giant and Angel trading fire, charges into the fray! Her powerful white steed rushes up past Flint & Rip, past Ink and Marav, and she yells in a commanding voice: "Come now! We fight!" Angel can sense her coming up behind him, readying her crossbow.
The knight is within 30 feet of Ink, Marav, and Angel, and she has used her special Leadership action, which she freely applies to you:
For 1 minute, the knight can utter a special command or warning whenever a nonhostile creature that it can see within 30 feet of it makes an attack roll or a saving throw. The creature can add a d4 to its roll provided it can hear and understand the knight. A creature can benefit from only one Leadership die at a time. This effect ends if the knight is incapacitated.
The arrow strikes the giant in the hand he was using to try and defend himself. He frowns as he sees the little people ganging up on him, runs forward to pick up another large rock, and hurls it with great force, causing it to roll along the ground towards you!
// Marav, Angel, and Lady Hawkwinter must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 13 bludgeoning damage and falling prone on a failed save. //
