Hot on Velons heels, Lawrance relays the dire situation in the room! “We have to make it in time!”
Out of Character: : dashing through the halls, in a two party rescue team, up the stairs we go, trying not to scream….

Ignazio raises a quizical brow. "Sounds like we didn't miss the party. Shall we make an inconspicuous entrance?"
Out of Character: :
Ignazio will turn invisible and proceed with stealth unless Nicolaos makes a noticeable entrance. If the giantess is still living, he will attempt to cast hold person on her, followed by asking what's going on and then blasting her with cold cantrips.
Poljen gets up and swings at the giantess again, causing yet more wounds to bleed.
She roars in response. Grabbing both Lora and Poljen, the Giant woman starts repeatedly smashing the pair together until they stop moving of their own accord.
As sound fades, they hear her saying, "Alive? Good, this was too slow. The wyrmspeaker, yes, she'll give him a death worthy of his crimes."
Nikolaos and Ignazio, still invisible from the earlier scroll, poke around the hallway intersection shortly after the sounds of fighting cease. To their right, they see a giant woman with very dark skin and flaming orange hair step out of a room.
Bereft of clothing and covered in blood, she is unceremoniously dragging the limp form of a rather burly looking man behind her as she heads in the opposite direction, towards a spiral staircase at the far end of the hall. As the pair watch, two more figures appear, running up the stairs, one an obvious mage, the other a man in heavy plate.
Velon and Lawrance reach the top of the stairs, and see the giantess limping towards them, dragging a familiar shape behind her.
Out of Character: I'll go ahead and use the death saving throws rolled for Poljen before. If he doesn't take another hit, he stabilizes after five rounds and is safe. I'll need death saves for Lora and Cratol. Good luck guys. If wondering, I actually rolled two fist attacks dealing enough damage each to down their targets, this was just a more interesting way for her to end it.

As planned, Lawrance fires off a Hold Person once within sight of the Giantess, his Hawk coming out from hiding and diving into the back of her head and providing a needed distraction once Velon engages in melee.
Specific Action: Casting Hold Person DC 14, Hawk Help action for Velon. Closing only to 59 feet.
Lora is shocked as Poljen gets up and kisses her. She stands incredousky as he gets up and hacks at the tree like legs of the giantess. Moving to pick up her own sword she feels herself gripped in a huge hand and lifted in the air. Shortly afterwards she feels immense pain as she is slammed into Poljen and screams in agony. A couple more bonebrraking impacts and she goes unconscious, hanging limply.
Out of Character: . Wow, that was brutal. Hopefully I roll better for these.

Nickolaos is going to follow the commotion to try and assess the situation. If he notices the tabard of Bahamut that Velon is wearing he will assist by casting Guiding Bolt on the Giantess and using his reaction to hopefully make the Giant miss with a use of bardic inspiration.
If he doesn't notice he will remain unseen and continue to observe.
Tazskan, sees that the situation is looking grim for the team. He feels torn between rushing off to battle, and on the other hand, being on guard duty.
Seeing, through the eyes of Amabalis, he informs Poppo, and Zarra that the giantess is on the move. That she has what appears to be holding on to the bodies of Poljen and Lora. "I'm going to get the pseudodragon, to assist the hawk in a distraction," he adds.
He calls out to Amabalis, to join the hawk come out from hiding, and dive for the back of giantess neck.
Once Velon and or Lawrence, comes to engage in melee. But to retreat, back to safety afterwards.
Out of Character: Sorry Guy's cannot stand by and do nothing, I know its a risk, using both familiars. Hawk, and psuedodragon. That Giantess, needs a huge distraction, to enable the reinforcements to intercept her.
