Isigar vs Hill Giant



There is a force ceiling 30' up (transparent). Ambient (daylight) illumination.
  The river is 10' deep (I made it deeper) in the middle and sloping up to 5' at the edges. It flows from SW to NE at a speed of 10'/round.
  The ground is dirt and/or sand down to 10' where it is sealed off by another wall of force.
  The stone structures are 15' high and made of stonemasonry (DC 20 climb check). The stone has hardness 8, 90 HP (per 10'x10' section) and the Break DC is 35.

  The bridges are wooden (hardness 5, 60 HP, Break DC 20).
Isigar starts in green, the giant in red. Go!

Re: Isigar vs Hill Giant

The druid materializes in the arena next to his stony companion.  He whispers something to Kaalk - though, he need not have taken such pains to keep his voice down, as nobody else in the area speaks Terran.

Re: Isigar vs Hill Giant

The giant mutters something and checks the number of boulders in his sack. He seems eager to fight.

(The giant doesn't really prep anything. He has a club in one hand and a sack in the other)

Init: 13

SRD:
You need both hands free to climb, but you may cling to a wall with one hand while you cast a spell or take some other action that requires only one hand. While climbing, you can’t move to avoid a blow, so you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). You also can’t use a shield while climbing.


To be able to climb up the wall and still have an action left over to ready, the hill giant needs to drop whatever he's holding (as a free action).  But this contradicts the descriptive text that the giant still has a boulder in hand when he gets to the top of the wall.
