Assuming that the shaman is using some sort of charisma ability to inspire, Hawkes will use cutting words to debuff his roll if he gets one:

Cutting Words
 Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and subtracting the number rolled from the creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability.

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

"Fools! I AM the Thunder god! Not only do you defy me, but your soothsayers have incurred the wrath of the Sea god by threatening his wooden duck!  Now you have also angered the very jungle that sustains you by blaspheming to turn it's vines to oppose me.  It has come alive to eat you!" Indicating Renda. "All who stand against the Thunder god will perish!  Flee for your lives!!!"

GRRRRR! Temp HP Noted in stat block edit, above.

He also shouts "TRAP! They Attack Boat!"

 These kobolds are a bit stronger than usual but to offset that they have low morale, especially to things that seem supernatural, for reasons you will learn or can guess

Some of the kobolds seem confused now, not inspired!

Renda is correct

Crispy is up

Crispy knows he’s got to get back the ship pronto, so he pops off a sleep spell to try and drops the kobolds around him. The scent of sulfur fills the air, as if a whole box of matches had been put out all at once...
Pyriannix "Crispy"

HP: 59/59 (54/38)
AC: 17
Ki: (3/2)
Sorcery Points (6/4)
Spells:
1st: (4/4)
2nd: (3/2)
3rd: (3/3)
Spell DC: 14
Sleep, centered on K3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V S M (A pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket)
Duration: 1 minute
Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard
This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.

8,5,7,5,2,+0

The 2 Spears at M-3 and K-4 curl up into balls like cats in a field of mint.  Their eyes roll happily back into their skulls as fall into blissful slumber.  One's leg twitches as if he is dreaming of chasing a tapir.

The Shield at L-3 sniffs the air and asks in a reverent voice, "Cha Ra Mo Na Ah Na?"  He looks at his two friends and decides it might be safest to imitate them, though he isn't sure why.  He isn't asleep, but he drops into a  position of cowering prayer.  (frightened and prone)

Fly

Components: V S M (A wing feather from any bird)

You touch a willing creature. The target gains a flying speed of 60 feet for the duration. When the spell ends, the target falls if it is still aloft, unless it can stop the fall.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 3rd.

As he lifts off he calls to his friends “uhh... I think you guys got this...I’m going to uhh check on the ship...”

Crispy will use his max movement to gain altitude +20 and 40’ back towards the ship. Does he see anything?

Chris, seems you might have missed the rest of my move before Renda, as I had moved to I-11.

Crispy sees 2 of the "scary long legs" the kobolds mentioned heading towards the beach and the ship which is anchored a bit further out.  Crispy is quite convinced they are in fact Fire Giants.  They wear full plate armor and carry greatswords the size of a small tree.  The two stand about 18 ft high, so Crispy is just above head level with them at +20ft in the air.  It occurs to Crispy that Fire Giants often live in volcanoes.

Hawkes still holds no weapons and stands vulnerable in their midst as if unconcerned by their threat.

(With hurt feelings) "Stop this madness! Have you forgotten the tale?! Of why we put you here?" (With force), "Cha Ra Mo Na Ah Na IS YOURS! It always was; we did not put you here to be subservient to Giants and monsters!" (With resignation), "This is my fault... I should have taught you better."

Sam hustles. Josh, do you want Sam to go in a straight line? More difficult terrain
Or to head NE following the stream? If ypu look at the middle "jungle" map, the terrain clears out considerably
There is a clearer path further south too, just more trees in the way initially


All the Spears and Shields will Disengage and move back from Hawkes and Sjon. They appear confused and await instruction from their Shaman. Scout's action is unobserved.

Multiattack. The scorpion makes three attacks: two with its claws and one with its sting.
Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: (1d10 + 2) piercing damage plus (4d10)poison damage. The target must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one

Sjon sees the fear in the faces of these kobolds. Although others are moving east to protect the ship, he stays with Hawkes. He moves to I-13 (so that there is a kobold to his west and to his south). He takes a low stance with his stinger held high and snaps his claws. He will hold his attack for now, but if either of them make an aggressive move towards his allies or himself, he will strike with a multi-attack.

Renda's eyes slide past the sleeping and cowed as he prefers more lively prey. He lets out a loud shriek/hiss as he launches forward to K-6 and attacks the nearest "lively" kobolds...

The intent is to attack the first target until it falls and then use any remaining attacks against the adjacent one. If they both fall and an attack is still available, he will move another 5 ft to reach that 3rd target.

He will use his move to eat anything he has killed, Dm's roll. Cant do that cuz he already moved. He will stand still.

 Renda flies at the nearest lively kobolds!  

J-7 shield uses his reaction to impose disadvantage on the first attack, which would normally need a reroll, but.... Renda destroys the Slinger with his CRIT on the second attack anyways.  

Attack 3 vs the shield is a miss
Attack 4 vs shield is a hit, but he is still up

Slinger J-6 is left pink = source of food for Dark Blessing

the other 2 cower in fear

Play this right and we might have a crew of Kobold minions for our ship!

"...it wasn't long before the savages began to shed their island ways, and after a few calls to port they began dressing in mimicry of the sea-faring folk they saw around them. Small affectations at first, but it quickly became an arms race among them - to the point of caricature, as they sought to outdo one another in displaying their grasp of fashion and other finer points of civilization."

Cripsy - anytime

Pyriannix "Crispy"

HP: 59/59 (54/38)
AC: 17
Ki: (3/2)
Sorcery Points (6/2)
Spells:
1st: (4/3)
2nd: (3/2)
3rd: (3/3)
Spell DC: 14

Flight 60'/turn (10 minutes).

Ok, bear with me as I lay this out:

1. Crispy will maintain altitude and use his full 60' movement to fly to N-5.

2. He will use his action to throw his Bead of Force at the northerly giant, attempting to hit center mass, (18' tall)  thereby fully encapsulating him.
   Bead of Force
You can use an action to throw the bead up to 60 feet. The bead explodes on impact and is destroyed. Each creature within a 10-foot radius of where the bead landed must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 5d4 force damage. A Sphere of transparent force then encloses the area for 1 minute. Any creature that failed the save and is completely within the area is trapped inside this Sphere. Creatures that succeeded on the save, or are partially within the area, are pushed away from the center of the Sphere until they are no longer inside it. Only breathable air can pass through the sphere's wall. No Attack or other effect can. An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere's wall, moving the Sphere up to half the creature's walking speed. The Sphere can be picked up, and its magic causes it to weigh only 1 pound, regardless of the weight of creatures inside.  

Assuming this is an Athletics check to throw an object that isn't a weapon to a certain point:
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +6" :

15 + 6 = 21

3. Assuming that is a success. The Bead explodes. Damage:
Result of the throw of dice "5d4" :

1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 Hrrummph. Well, no bother.

4. Assuming the giant fails his save and is encapsulated. Crispy will spend 1 Ki point to execute Step of the Wind to take Dash as a bonus action. He will use 50' of the available 60' to fly to T-5 +0' and...

5. ...use his free interaction with an object to PICK UP THE ONE POUND SPHERE containing the giant, lift it over his head, and bound back into the air +5' and north to T-4 (Please confirm the southerly giant cannot reach this point to attack given he has only 15' of movement and 10'(?) reach).

So, lots of assumptions there. DM please let me know if I need to retcon anything if the assumptions don't hold up or if the giant makes his Dex save.

"You must take back your Island.  My friends and I will help you. We will do the heavy lifting, but you must use your strength of stealth and strike from range."

"RENDA!  These warriors are now CLAN!  EAT THE GIANTS!"

"Sjon, let's attend to the Sea god's wooden duck."

"Pretty bird IS a good bird. Watch for the firetail and warn us."

Hawkes will follow in Sam's footsteps once he is satisfied that Renda has stopped eating kobolds.

Nice plan!

1 ok
2 ok
3 ok
4 - Fire Giant fails his save and is encapsulated

5 - ok, but.... I think the other giant can reach Crispy at T-4. if you look at the map, there are 2 spaces that are clear of trees in between, so not all of it is difficult terrain for him. also, he can throw things

Sam is up

Would you concede that since the Force bubble is easily picked up, Crispy could position it in such a way that he could place it between himself and the other giant, providing some measure of cover? All else would stay the same.

absolutely!

given its size, Crispy would have full cover (and then some) from what amounts to a massive beach ball with a weightless giant inside


bubble block ftw. fantastic creativity!


I will fix the map after Josh takes his move

Sam will take out his pocket nuclear warhead and vaporize the other giant...

No? lol

I'll take Sam's turn later today when I have time. Been an interviewing fool all day today and it's not quite over yet

Sam can't do much but try to keep pace with the giants at this point, or at least catch up.

Double move (still invisible). Tell me if he needs to make any rolls along the way.

bonus action: cast Misty Step

I think that puts Sam at Rrrrrr - 10.

Sam runs and teleports to R-10 Jungle Map, still invisible

the remaining Spears and Shields change to blue and begin hustling towards the beach

I think we can handle Sjons move sans-map. He will use his full movement plus dash to head towards the beach with everyone else. Giant scorpion movement is 40', so I suppose 80' by path of least resistance.

He then DASHES towards the giants with remaining attack and move - 90 ft in a "smart path", please.

Elyss-yss smiles upon Renda

Result of the throw of dice "1d10 +2" :

4 + 2 = 6


Renda hustles to G-6 on Jungle map

at 6, Unfeathers flies over near Hawkes
at 5, Shaman advances to L-15, flanked by 2 kobolds for his protection

at 3, Fire Giants are up

The enclosed Fire Giant can't really swing his greatsword inside the sphere, so he punches it as hard as he can.  He curses in Giant, "STUFGAR!"  (bullshit).  He notices the small draconian holding the sphere.  Though he doesn't understand how the draconian can lift his weight, he decides to test him.  The giant pushes against the inside of the ball in an attempt to roll over Crispy (still assuming he has mass).

An enclosed creature can use its action to push
against the sphere's wall, moving the sphere up to half
the creature's walking speed. The sphere can be picked
up, and its magic causes it to weigh only 1 pound,
regardless of the weight of creatures inside.


Giant will move the sphere 15ft (half speed).  Crispy can let go, if he has a Reaction.  If he holds on, he will go for a ride up and over as the sphere turns and take 1/2 the usual amount of bludgeoning damage as he slams into the ground when the sphere rolls over.  

normally it would be 2d6 to fall 20ft, so half damage

Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

5

unless he can let go.  I don't think he would get a Dex save for half, since he is attached to the sphere


The free Giant laughs at his companion and taunts him Giant, "Tectac!"  (testicle).  He notices Renda moving up fast from his six.  He uproots a tree and hurls it like a spear at the Lizardman (hurl rock ability, 4d10+7)

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +11" :

20 + 11 = 31

CRIT!  

Result of the throw of dice "8d10 +7" :

9 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 10 + 4 + 8 + 7 = 53  bludgeoning to Renda


He then resumes his path towards the ship at half speed due to terrain

6 temp HP pushes Renda up to 118/102 HP before being hit.
Renda has "resistance vs bludgeoning" from raging, which halves the dmg.
27 dmg gets through resistance.
118-27 = 91/102 HP

Renda snarls a roaring, hissing, wordless challenge. All pain is hunger, and Renda seems even more mindlessly focused on feeding now...

Damn lucky too, that was an ugly hit! Approx 80% dmg mitigation including magic item effects (temp HP). Otherwise, that hit would have cut my HP total in half in a single blow - OUCH!

5e has the best mitigation\reaction system of any previous version. That is one of my favorite aspects. Radiance had a bit of it, but not nearly as developed as 5e

Pyriannix "Crispy"

HP: 59/59 (54/33)
AC: 17
Ki: (3/2)
Sorcery Points (6/2)
Spells:
1st: (4/3)
2nd: (3/2)
3rd: (3/3)
Spell DC: 14

Flight 60'/turn (10 minutes)

Crispy looks into the Giant’s eyes and growls in Draconic, “Sia shartleg, Tectac”. (My turn, testicle). He lifts the bubble over his head and bounds into the sky, using Dash and his full movement to climb straight up to 120’.

Note: Nothing in the force bead’s description indicates the creature inside would be insulated from falling damage.

Hawkes is up

I'll be in IL for the next few days. I'll have to take Sam's turn on Saturday
