I miscounted. Goblin #5 is inside the extreme edge of shadowy illumination (60'). Your miss chance is only 20%, but your rolls will do just fine for that.

Keep in mind that any square you move through that does not have at least shadowy illumination cuts your movement speed by half... unless you're a damn dorf.

JACK jogs up to the goblin, breaks the last few ribs GRIM hadn't already and then kicks its head, snapping its neck with a loud pop.

ZEIG yells out for JACK to not get too much further away. He then takes a 5' stop to the southeast and casts Cure on JACK.
20:43, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 11 using 1d8+6. Cure -> JACK + Divine Seal.
MP: 39/53, HP healed: 16

Giant #1 steps into the darkness. JACK can get a decent idea of its location based on the sound of its enormous footsteps.

Goblin #3 runs 20' to the east, lobs a small dagger into ZEIG's leg, and then drops down into the bushes.
20:54, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d3+1. damage.
20:54, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+9. #3 thrown dagger vs. ZEIG.
20:56, Today: teslas rolled 1,2 using 1d2,1d2. dex and strength damage.
20:56, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 9 using 1d20+5. DC 15 Fort vs. Poison.
ZEIG is no longer at a light load. His movement speed is reduced to 20'.

Goblin #4 is nowhere to be seen.

"Ah hell...guys! Me and ZEIG are getting surrounded!" DAI says as he moves next to GRIM and casts Illuminate on his shield, so that they can see the Giant, though the reverse could also be assumed.

GRIM's shield begins to shine in a dull but consistent light across its entire surface. GRIM's shield now gives off 20' bright illumination and 20' shadowy illumination for the next hour. Reminder: it is dismissible by DAI as a Standard action so long as he is in range to touch it again.

00:10, Today: GRIM rolled 15 using 1d20+8. Waraxe attack (With PA).

The giant swings at GRIM as he approaches, but misses horribly.

In turn, GRIM places his axe deep into the thigh of the giant.

Jack moves to the giant and attacks

02:32, Today: JACK rolled 9 using 1d10+5 with rolls of 4. Attack 1 (Giant 1) Critical Fumble.
02:32, Today: JACK rolled 6 using 1d10+5 with rolls of 1. Attack 1 (Giant 1) Power Attack (4).
02:32, Today: JACK rolled 32 using 2d8+18 with rolls of 8,6. Damage 1.
02:31, Today: JACK rolled 26 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 16. Attack 1 (Giant 1) Focus Power Attack 4.
02:30, Today: JACK rolled 26 using 1d20+14. Tumble (Giant 1).

I take back everything bad I've ever thought about Focus. The attack bonus and damage multiplier make power attack hurt.

How the fuck could you have ever had anything bad to say about Focus? It's one of the strongest abilities in the game. It is the ability that makes you do more damage than a Fighter.

JACK somersaults to the giant, leaps up, and punches it directly in the chin, knocking its head back and compacting its spine. On his way down he attempts to land a second blow to the giant's chest, but trips up and twists his ankle, taking 2 non-lethal damage.

You know, if you guys told me where you wanted to go, you could do cool things like flank and stuff. All the cool kids are doing it.

ZEIG runs down to join the group, then casts Cure on JACK. Again, with his STR damage he's over a light load, and can only move 20' a round.
01:59, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 13 using 1d8+6. Cure -> JACK MP: 38/53.

Giant #1 takes a 5' step back and casts Drain on GRIM, who lets out a low grunt as a large portion of the spell's effect is simply resisted.
02:10, Today: teslas, on behalf of GRIM, rolled 28 using 1d20+11. DC 16 Fort vs. Drain.
02:12, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 2d6+6. damage.

Goblin #3 stands up out of the bush, throws a dagger at ZEIG, then drops back into the bush. The dagger embeds itself in ZEIG's forearm.
02:21, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 1d20+9. #3 thrown dagger vs. ZEIG.
02:19, Today: teslas rolled 2 using 1d3+1. #3 damage.
02:20, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 14 using 1d20+5. DC 15 Fort vs. Poison.
02:21, Today: teslas rolled 1,1 using d2,d2. STR and DEX damage.

Goblin #4 bursts out of the bushes to the east, runs forward a ways, and throws a dagger at ZEIG, but lets go far too late in its haste and nearly throws it into his own foot. It lands on the ground next to him.
02:24, Today: teslas rolled 27 using 1d20+7. critical fumble confirm.
02:24, Today: teslas rolled 8 using 1d20+7. #4 thrown dagger vs. ZEIG.

Round 8:

DAI turns on his heel and begins to focus on the goblins while ZEIG could still stand. He forms a spell he hadn't used often, and fired a jet of flame at the nearest goblin.

03:06, Today: DAI rolled 54 using 1d100. miss chance 20%.
03:06, Today: DAI rolled 25 using 3d12+9. Fire Damage vs goblin 3(PBS).

The miss chance for total concealment is 50%, but there's no modifiers to get wrong so we can use your roll.

DAI launches a spout of fire at the bush in an attempt to hit the goblin. The bush is blown away with a blast of heat, revealing the prone goblin lying there on the ground, unscathed.

Grim takes a 5-foot step towards the giant, and slashes away at the giant. Power attacking for 4.

17:55, Today: GRIM rolled 12 using 1d10+11. Waraxe damage (with PA) - 2nd.

17:54, Today: GRIM rolled 21 using 1d20+10. Waraxe attack (with PA). - 1st.

GRIM's axe cuts more flesh off of the giant's leg, but the second two parts of his assault don't deal any meaningful harm or miss altogether.

Jack slips past the giants club, tumbling to a flanking position with Grim (Up 1, Up-Right 1, Right 3, Down 1) and lashes out at the giant twice.

20:39, Today: JACK rolled 14 using 1d8+9 with rolls of 5. Damage 2. +1 Lightning damage.

Not that it matters now, but I forgot to add the lightning damage to my last attack.

JACK nimbly flips head over feet around to the backside of the giant. He then places two well-aimed punches into its kidneys.

ZEIG removes the several doses of poison flowing through his veins, then moves further away from the goblins. Basuna. MP: 38/53

The giant drops his club and lowers down onto one knee, "You... have defeated me. Be gone, imps."

The two grey-skinned goblins immediately begin bolt away into the woods. One heads to the southwest, while the other the northwest.

Combat is over unless DAI wants to continue his initiative.

DAI watches a little curious, as this was going to be their first chance to actually speak with one of these giants. "No tricks then? You're giving up and those imps aren't bringing backup?" DAI was no longer fighting, but was keeping on his toes in case this was a trick.

21:55, Today: DAI rolled 18 using 1d20+2. sense motif: giant actually giving up?.

GRIM/JACK, you have an opportunity to take an action or something. I'll give you a little while just in case, then we'll continue on.

No action. Just keeping an eye on the giant with my weapons out.
