As Crownsguard impacts into the giant’s forehead, he uses the force to drive the blade into its skull, Attack: 14 Damage: 18 slashing damage and must make a DC 15 STR save or fall prone!
However, seeing that the giant’s skull is tough, he pushes harder! Attack: 11 Damage: 21 slashing damage. Same thing as last time.
HE GIVES ONE MORE PUSH! Attack: 21 Damage: 19 slashing damage. Save!

Don twists and dodges and ends up only getting hit really hard instead of super hard.
He glances at the closest giant and then tilts his head forward and his eyes glow slightly and the giant heres, "You are so stupid, you can't do anything right, heck I could beat you with one arm behind my back, you are pathetic. Don't believe me, come prove it."
It is heard by the giant only and in the young giants voice.
with a deft twist Matrix avoids the slag, but is still burned a bit. "All this fire is bringing up past trauma, so please STOP THROWING BURNING SHIT AT ME!!"
Matrix runs to the corner of the gantry and the grease spell, and leaps at the giant dealing with a robot. Athletics 19
while flying through the air he shoots twice...
22 for 5
19 for 9
deftly reloads, action surge fires again before (hopefully) landing on the giant and punching it in the face to activate agile parry (+2ac) then using a ki point for a patient defense bonus action
Ink observes the unfolding situation... "Were those doves flying around Matrix? Where did they come from?" He shakes his head then comments, "I'm pretty sure that my magic has addled the gears in Crownguard's head... although I can't explain Matrix's actions."
He looks at Quill and says, "Go help those two." She flies off and buzzes the fire giant's head with a flyby before pulling up out of its lengthy reach. // Help action used, advantage on following attack on the fire giant granted. //
ink then leans over the edge of the gantry and casts grease under the fire giant's feet. // DC 15 Dex Save or fall prone immediately, and at end of turn. //
Ink then steps back against the wall, trying to get as much cover as he can from the incoming slag. He stows his scimitar, grumbling, "Back to mediocre bows and arrows..."
Flint gets a running start and leaps over Ink's grease spot on the gantry. Grumbling something about "daft fools," he waves his hand resignedly and casts Bless at third level on the entire party.
The giants, for their part, certainly didn't expect two small ones to leap down from the gantry and assault them directly. The fire giant on which Crownsguard and Matrix are riding begins to wave his hands frantically, trying to dislodge them, while simultaneously trying to keep his footing and move out of Ink's grease spot.
Opposed Strength 11. Crownsguard and Matrix, please roll either Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics), with the giant's Strength check as a DC. Failure will mean you fall to the ground.
(Result from Don's deception attempt) The next closest fire giant is distracted by what he thought the young fire giant said. <Is the prince insulting me?> He asks the others in giantish.
<Fool! Pay attention to the intruders! And someone alert Zalto!> The third one says, as he and the fourth giant continue to lob burning slag at Don and Ink (remember you have 3/4 cover).

Crownsguard lifts his blade out of the wound and drives it in once more as the owl harries it! Attack: 26 Damage: 13 slashing damage! Oh man. This poor soul.
Follow up!
Attack: 21 Damage: 21 slashing damage!
And a final drive! Attack: 25 Damage: 18 slashing damage!
Ink hustles over to Flint, casting shield as he does, blocking the bits of slag that made it through the gantry on collision course with the Elf.
Wiping his brow of sweat, he concentrates and a bright blue light flashes beneath his armor, the beads of sweat coalesce into ice - he touches Flint's arm as the ice forms. Ice crackles around Flint sheathing him in an icy mantle and armor of ice. Ink shouts, "Take a leap, aim for a giant - YOU'LL be fine!"
Ink pulls out his bow and readies himself to pepper the giants with arrows from above. As the does he shouts to Don in Giant, "I thought the Prince said he'd be able to clear this place out - why are there so many peasant workers around here mucking up the plans?"
// "Icy Mantle" above courtesy of the shard of the Ise Rune //
Icy Mantle. As an action, you can touch yourself or another creature with water on your finger. The water creates an icy mantle of protection. The next time within the next minute that the target takes bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage, that damage is reduced to 0, and the mantle is destroyed. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Don looks down at the closest giant and in a booming voice yells out. "Enough you pesants, we have business here and it is not with you." He looks directly at the prince. "You, call off your dogs and we can talk."
He then looks down at the closest giant and hex him right before blasting him with both fists.

Flint shrugs and leaps off the gantry towards the nearest giant.
// Using Inspiration to grant advantage. //
Athletics: 24
Falling damage: 18 bludgeoning
He falls directly onto the giant's foot, causing the huge being to cry out in pain! Once he lands, the ice surrounding him shatters and he casts his Spiritual Weapon (4th level) in the form of a glowing hammer, to strike the giant.

Matrix loses his balance in the giants flailing and falls, as his feet leave the giants shoulders he fires his gun at it's face. with cat like grace the monk twists mid-air landing on his feet just north of the slag pit with nary a sound. He then punches the giants foot for his ac boost before running to aid flint as well as getting out of the other giants sights, getting his second wind.
