The team moved to engage the baying Nessian warhounds and found themselves caught in multiple overlapping blasts of flaming breath! Several of the team were protected from fire, but some were not and were hurt very, very badly. Shatha breathed cold back upon the hounds while the group engaged with blade and spell. Deska conjured a whip of spiders while Koshi, Magnus, and Tulvur engaged in melee. Svala was caught in the back but made devastating use of her sharding axe to hit the dogs from afar. In minutes the team had eliminated the dogs and searched the room.
The group moved down the corridor and found a massive chamber with a flowing river of magma at the bottom of a chasm. Across the divide was a ten-foot stone wall behind which stood over half-a-dozen fiendish fire giants! They unleashed a barrage of heated stones at the team. Koshi hurled one of the Russian grenades among them. The giants puzzled over it briefly and deduced it was probably dangerous, so they threw it over the wall down into the magma! Erris used telekinetic charge to hurl Greta into the fray! She tore into the giants, her most hated of foes. Tulvur mounted Shatha, and they soared across the chasm breathing ice and swinging about with blades.
Magnus and Deska began a barrage of devastating spells including maximized flame strike and call lightning storm. Erris entangled several giants with black tentacles, which allowed Greta, Tulvur, and Shatha to thin their ranks. Koshi, a monk of no small measure, decided to leap the chasm and join the battle as well. At the last moment he stumbled and plunged into chasm! He belly-flopped into the magma. Erris dove down after him with his winged boots, but Koshi’s body was completely consumed by the fiery flow. The group finished fighting the giants and spent a few moments lamenting the loss of their companion.
