The heroes (River, Rhom StrongArm, Cliffy, Sul Absil the minotaur, Bianca, Rhanee with Emrys, Zauloman, Metrion, Xinthos, Serena, and Durwood, and Vanity) continue their attack on the Castle of the Cloud Giant Queen. Rhom charged the four hill giants, sweeping two off their legs and leaving the giants helpless. Sul moves in to back up the warsmith and finish his kills while the rest of the party heals up and gather their resources. Just as Rhom and Sul with arrow support from River finish off the male hill giants, three fog giantesses and eight hill giantesses come to investigate. These giantesses are not armed with anything but kitchen tools and not eager to battle, but one cloud giantess leads a pair of hill giantesses to battle the party. Rhom and River with some support from Sul slowly defeat these jotuns, though a fog giantess and a hill giantess flee the melee. During the combat, to limit how the party would be attacked, Cliffy drops a wall of force on the other side of the giants' pantry.
The heroes heal up and look around. The group is a little spread out when four fog giant warriors attack from the direction that the females fled -- Cliffy slows one down with a hold monster but that's it. Meanwhile, the rear of the party where the healers are tending to Vantiy is blasted with a lighting bolt and then a cloud giantess attacks Zauloman from under cover of invisibility. The heroes are not looking too good. Cliffy launches a lightning bolt but is nailed with three boulders for his efforts. The elven mage is close to dead. River begins laying down a hail of arrows, but the fog giants persist, though the lead falls with a damaged leg. Rhom, meanwhile, jumps to the healers' defense, nailing the cloud giantess. Zauloman comes around the wall of force and ambushes the spell-casting cloud giantess. Unfortunately, a lucky hit nearly drops Rhom while both River and Cliffy are near death. A boulder drops the elven mage and Rhom is saved by Rhanee and Serena defending the warsmith. Metrion and Xinthos take the heat off the spell casters and Rhom and Zauloman finish the cloud giantesses as Vanity moves to support them. Bianca, meanwhile, moves through the fallen heroes (Sul and Cliffy), saving them from death with her healing spells.
The heroes narrowly defeat the remaining giants and depart via Cliffy's magical house. Rhanee teleports back to Amberwood where the heroes rest and heal, calling upon the collecting magics of the fief...
