Kjell vaults over the corner of the wagon to get in close to the ferocious boar. He swings his great hammer with all his might, but the beast's tough hide deflects the worst of the blow.

Move action: Move to space H15. If possible, he will climb over the corner of the wagon in space G16 to avoid the OA, but if not he will move through space G15 and draw an attack from the boar.
Standard action: Brute strike against boar 4. Attack: 16 vs. AC (narrow miss); Damage: 19. The target is marked.

Aylmora takes advantage of all the distraction made by her companions to strike at the massive boar that now blocks the gates cutting into the beast's hide her blade comes back red with its blood.

"We need to draw it in more to surround it," she calls as she steps back to make room.

Ulm is still busy helping the injured villager, though he is soon ready to send him away - he's bound the wounds, and he'll take better care of the man after the battle is over.

He is still shouting advice at his friends.

Omen: do a heal check or something else to help the NPC.

On Himdur's instructions, the man holding the horse lets go of it and starts to try and help his downed colleague. The horse takes it's chance to bolt out of battle, but does not go very far as it joins the rest of your horses a bit back, where several villagers have taken hold of them, making sure they don't go wandering off while you defend their town.

Shalelu and the remaining guard on the wall heed your words and duck down, taking cover behind the battlements. Robbed of immediate targets, the two giants instead lob their rocks over the walls in a high arc, so that they fall down right on the other side of the door. The ground shakes with the impact, throwing you left and right and killing the unlucky boar who, in his death throes, manages to ram his head into Himdur's legs.

The next boar jumps right into the breach, charging into the opening space, straight at Himdur, which causes the giant to growl, "Stupid," as that blocks the opening once more. Instead of advancing, he hurles a bunch of rocks high in the air, so they come crashing down on the other side of the walls, catching Kjell and Jakob in the blast once more, as well as Aylmora this time, which sends them stumbling to the floor as the ground suddenly shakes under their feet.

GO Himdur and Jakob

note: giants' recharge burst power can push 2 or prone

Yes. Imagine giant-sized backpacks on their shoulders. And it's not even just normal boulders, some of them seem to have been worked so they explode easily on impact.
