Right so my party has been playing through the Pathfinder Campaign Setting, pretty much unmodified except for a few stupid encounters that would have utterly destroyed us, so far we've lost 1 character to drowning/cliff, 1 to retirement, and 1 to a Lamia Matriarch. We've gotten up to the point where we are assaulting Jorgenfist the fortress, in the Fortress of the Giants module. Its at this point that the DM decided that the standard number of Giants in the fortress was sad, and so we are now fighting a 1811 strong force composed mostly of Stone Giants, and the current plan is a suicidal head on assault.(This is just the army outside)
Couple of special notes, we use A LOT of house rules, and A LOT of homebrew content, a large portion being from Fax actually. If something seems off in the character sheets, please note that chances are its correct with our house rules. We are using Gestalt.
Oh Also as a another note, we have a 'Save Point' before this stupid head on assault. :smallbiggrin:
The Us:
A Dread Necro 10(modified a bit)//Warlock 10, Phrenic Goblin(Fax's version)(Me)
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=138759
Note that right now most of my undead pool is being taken up by already animated skeletons, and that the DM said I could take Desecrate with Advanced Learning. The Body list isn't all with me, some is kept back at a Keep, but assume that I have close to all of the Dire Bears and Stone Giants with me(being dragged along behind my army) Oh and note i've got the party loot written on my sheet.
A Scout 3/Ranger 7(using a variant to get manoeuvres and probably a few other variants)/Ceasless Striker 1//Swordsage 11 Elf(Fax's version)
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=118378
He's our main source of raw damage, and utterly destroys most things we come across.
A Bard 10(Fax)/Marshal 1//Warlord 11(Fax) Drow(Fax)
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=138326
Our Party Face and one hell of a buffer, a backup tank. His Cohort listed below is our main tank and another buffer.
A Dragon Shaman 11//Artificer 11, Dragonborn(dwarf)
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=138554
Hes made most of our items, we pretty much ignore xp cost for most items.
The Enemy:
Our DM gave us the specific numbers because he didn't really think it would matter. Also he needs some help stating out some of the leaders and other such things.
The List
-327 Hill Giants led by a level 8 Hill Giant Fighter
-202 Ogres led by a level 6 Ogre Barbarian
-268 Ogres led by above
-114 Stone Giants led by a Level 6 Stone Giant Cleric of Minderhal
-201 Stone Giants led by a Level 8 Stone Giant Ranger
-183 Stone Giants led by a Level 5 Stone Giant Fighter
-227 Stone Giants led by a Level 9 Stone Giant Ranger
-289 Stone Giants led by a Level 14 Stone Giant Necromancer(ooooh I hate this guy, pretty much my nemesis)
The Plan:
Ummm we don't really have one, other than standing the Ranger thing on the Watch Tower(A1), having the Buffer and the his Cohort charging with most of my army, and me assassinating some of the higher ups with my Pit Fiend Skeleton, and i'm not to comfortable about flying in solo.
The Location:

We're in the middle of some mountains, its spring, and the weather has been very nice and sunny apparently. Just to note we don't know about the tunnels in the cliff side.
Special Notes:
We have a Homunculus with a Lyre of Building, and he can use it!
I have access to Lesser Planar Binding!
Soooo we need some help figuring out what to do, we're committed to doing basically a full frontal assault, but we don't need to be completely suicidal about it.
We have no way to get outside help beyond summoning and the like.
If it matters Gralamin on these boards is the DM.
We'll be starting the battle, next Sunday September 6th.
Oh please don't reveal anything past this point in the Campaign Path to avoid spoiling us.
Soooo
Help?
