The heroes (Helga, Minosti, Mikhail with Пётр, Cliffy, River, Daj, Maedhros, Bradeen with Dale, and Evalast) continue their battle with the hill giants and their allies. The heroes manage to quickly slaughter several additional jotuns, ogres, and orcs. After Maedhros gives pursuit to one fleeing giant, the melee splits into two battles with Helga serving as the lynchpin for the original one. A pair of boulders drop the half-elf. Moonlight tries to call down the powers of the Staff of Avanrakash to balance the fight, but unfortunately, the illusion of the defending storm giant fails to live up to that of jotun cultural norms, and is thus disbelieved. Luckily the fear affect does drive off the chieftain and one giant.
Cliffy uses a web to focus and funnel the foes Helga is battling, giving Daj a chance to run to help the others. Meanwhile, River rains deadly arrows into the giants until he falls after a series of boulders. Evalast, however, isn't merely downed but actually slaughtered. Moonlight too drops and Mikhail only manages an obscurement to shield the rest of the party aided by a spike growth which has ensnared first two then three stone giants.
Combat gets particularly tough, although Mikhail manages to heal Moonlight and Maedhros, who then use their own spells to heal themselves further and attack the giants. It's about this point that three strangers appear in the battle -- a Nereganti priest, a Medegian myrmidon, and a Midani fighter. Unfortunately, the fighters are quickly overwhelmed, although the cleric escapes into the druid's fog. Now again on his feet and flying, Maedros uses a wall of fire to further the defense and block off the remaining giants.
The party flees, leaving behind Evalast's body as well as the new comers, Xiones and Jamal.
