They fly back out and try to alight on the gnoll camp again to check it out, and it’s been abandoned. Nothing else has moved in yet. They begin to explore the area some more, and a huge boulder flies form a nearby hill at them. The Hill Giant that Alzar’s group freed has returned, with two friends, and remembers that Alzar’s fireball slew one of his brothers.
Hill Giants:
HP - 55, 48, 42; 12 THACo - 2d8+4 with club or boulder.AC 3 with hides on.
Alzar hands a few items from the belt to his peers as they fly down.
Forx the bard uses Horn of Blasting. 2d10 damage sonic - 2+5 - 7 total damage. They are stunned this round and don’t do anything. The crossbow from Rogren fires and hits for 3 damage, and Alzar orders the magic users to stick with missiles only. Alzar uses the Scarab of Venom on two arrows and as they close, he fires at two Hill Giants
He misses the first with a 4 and then rolls a 9 and….that misses too. There AC is better and he need 13 to crack their armor. He’s going t drop down to melee, where he can use his gladius’s +6 vs giants ability to be more reliable hitting. As he does, he activates the Zoster of Zeal.
A boulder crashes into Alzar for 11 damage as he lands, Alzar’s two iuon stones, regen and AC are still spinning around his head.

The next giant chooses to flee. Alzar drops his sword and grabs his bow and quiver. They fly over to chase it. It picks up a boulder and flings it at the carpet in desperation, without even aiming, just to force them away. The one left is the one that survived before
Alzar’s bow peppers it once for 3 damage. Four turns later, missile attacks finish it
