Arkus's sling bullet grazes the side of the giant's head, and draws a bit of blood, but the beast shakes it off.

Phelan's war hammer strikes the giant's leg, but it deflected by its rough skin.

The militia forces now charge the giant from all directions simultaneously. There are a total of eight militia men stabbing at the giant with spears, or hacking at it with axes. Most of their blows are turned aside by the creature's strong hide, but a couple manage to inflict minor wounds on it.

Cael attempts to stab the creature at the waist with his sword, but the blade is unable to pierce the giant's skin.

You can now hear more commotion coming from another part of the village, not far from the back of the village church.

(OOC:

We are now entering the next round of combat. Hexamer, you're up.

Initiative Sequence:
Barros: 5-current turn
Cloaked figure: 4
Giant: 4
Mercenary: 3
Arkus: 3-current turn
Phelan: 2
Militia forces: 2
Cael: 1)

Given there are now more men on the problem of the Giant, Barros will take this oppurtunity to make a dash for the Church to check the situation, with the feeling, that immediate assistance might be warranted and with the idea that the Giant might be a distraction for something else.

(OOC: I am hoping that the Giant is too distracted with the new arrivals to notice Barros making a move for the church.)

Barros is able to escape the giant's wrath, and arrives at the entryway to the church at the same time that the cloaked figure attempts to stab the giant, but is deterred by the creature's tough skin.

The giant swings out with its club, bellowing in rage, and hits the last mercenary, sending him flying. The unfortunate victim crashes into a stand nearby, knocking it over, and falling into a pile with it. He does not rise again.

For lack of a better idea or a more powerful weapon, Arkus shoots another sling bullet at the brute's head.

OOC: 15 + 3 = 18 to hit, but only 1 damage.

Despite her war hammer having no effect the last time, Phelan tries once again to attack the giant. Yet once again she fails.

(rolled an 8)

Arkus manages to the graze the side of the giant's head, but it doesn't seem bothered at all by the bullet.

Following Phelan's attack, the militia forces continue their assault on the giant, several of them managing to hit it and draw blood. However, the creature fights on, undeterred by its various injuries.

Cael also attempts to stab the creature, but his blade is turned aside by its tough hide.

Barros looks around the church from the entrance, looking for a target. (Last he knew there were a few goblins an the dog headed humanoid that came this way.)

Assuming there is a target to attack, Barros will attack.

Looks like a miss, ,7+1=8
