Nerith agrees with the preacher then with his spear ready will try and go one route to try and attack the Giant when he is within range for a spear throw.

Nerith "Might as well. After all nobody wishes to die alone." the outdoors-man gives a sly smile.

Here's a quick drawing of the giant camp, with the outer ring representing the ridge of the hills surrounding, the red circle the campfire, the rectangle its hovel and the smiley face the giant. Assume the ridge is about 200 yards away from the fire, so the circle itself is about 400 yards in diameter.

Getting into Position

Elerik and Nerith begin moving towards the south as Bodhi circles northwards while the missile combatants hold their ground. As the two warriors work their way into position one of them dislodges a loose rock, which begins to roll and tumble down the slope of the hillside.

The giant's brutish head whips around instantly, staring up the slope, one finger a knuckle deep up its nostril.

The movement is going to give a chance to be discovered. I'm going to rule it 1-4 in 6 to be successful:http://orokos.com/roll/620105: 1d6 5

Melee group 1-4, spellcaster 5-6: http://orokos.com/roll/620106: 1d6 4

Elerik

Elerik stands up and starts banging his sword on his shield and yelling at the top of his voice.
Doing his best to make sure the giant is focussed on him.

Nerith tries to judge the distance between the giant and he and Elerik holing his spear ready to throw or melee with the beast. He too shouts at the giant "HEY BIG FELLA OVER HERE!" he yells and waves one hand at the giant.

I've got actions from the two warriors. Bodhi is about 70 yards away from the club. Does anyone else wish to act?

Using the fighters' distraction, Bodhi will attempt to get within 45' of the club as quickly as possible.

Surprise Round

The two warriors stand up and begin to clang their weapons together, hoping to draw the giant's attention as Bodhi sneaks towards the club. There's a moment of confusion as the giant stares up at the hill towards the two noisemakers, until Drust and Preacher Cardicus stand up and fire their weapons. The sling bullet misses, but Drust's arrow buries itself deeply into the giant's shoulder, and the massive creature lets out a massive bellow! Bodhi sneaks up within range of the club, but must rest for a second or two before casting a spell.
Actions for Round One, please. Spellcasters can't cast a spell and move in the same round, so Bodhi can cast a spell during round One.

Elerik

Elerik will wait to see the giant's reaction.
1. If it turns to the ranged attackers, he will continue to make noise and if that isn't drawing the creatures attention will begin to move down the slope while creating noise.
2. If it turns and spots the wizard, Elerik will run at top speed down the slope making as much noise as possible.
3. If the giant continues to focus on the warriors making noise, Elerik will continue to do so until the giant changes its behavior.

Nerith will continue to make noise and advance towards the giant if he gets within range of his ranged weapons he will throw his spear at the giant. Otherwise he will keep trying to distract the giant. "Hey big man over here!"
