Kalar takes all of this in and takes charge.
"Right, lads. This is the plan. I can cast a spell that will render us all invisible to any undead. None of them will be able to see, hear, or even smell any of us. It will last for a little over an hour, but will end the very second any of us even so much as touches any of the undead. I'll provide whatever potions I can as well that will help.
"I'll fly on ahead Bill to try to get around them. Lynda, I would like you with me, I'm sure Bill can carry us both. Just make sure to tie yourself in and keep a death grip on Bill and myself. If you fall, do that ethereal thing that you do, and you should be safe.
"Rachelle, Voulton, and whoever you are, come in from the front. First chance you get, Rachelle, hit the colossus with the sword. The moment that happens, we'll all be visible to them. Once that happens, I will try to wipe out all of the lesser undead behind it. I will make sure to cast it so that none of you are affected like last time. Previously, something happened to me when I cast it, but the situation is dire enough that I will risk myself for this group.
"If any other lesser undead remain, Lynda and I will attempt to deal with them. If the colossus is still standing, I am trusting the three of you to deal with it. Hrulgin will be with you and will help you however he can. Should the need arise, I will have my six skeletons enter the fray as well.
"Right, are we good? If so, we have no time to lose, stand close together and I will cast the spell on all of us."
*Should the others agree, Kalar will cast Hide From Undead and then Bless on everyone.
He will give Lynda his Oil of Bless Weapon. Voulton still has his Bear's Endurance potion, and Rachelle has his Magic Weapon oil. He will also give Voulton his potions of Mage Armor, and Shield of Faith +2 to distribute as he sees fit.

"Well spoken, Tiny man!" Says Rob to the weird looking kid riding on the flying monster. "You are much better at planning a battle than old Gaspard!"

The Shield of Faith potion gets passed to Rachelle and the Mage Armor one to Rottlerwits. Voulton'd say something, but Kalar covered it all. He quietly does as asked and moves closer to the others. Deciding there's no better time than the present, Voulton dons the dead werewolf's bracers. Can't hurt now!

Just before Rachelle lifts off the ground, Rob pats her on the back, and sings the words to the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/herois ... Heroism</a> spell
Rob brings to mind the words to the Bardic Song of <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/bard. ... e">Inspire Competence</a>, which he intends to sing as he rides in. He will not push Stumpy to full speed, because he does not want to leave Voulton in the dust.
He really wants to get the words to Inspire Competence correct, and not to accidental sing the altered words for the lewd version that he sometimes sings for laughs at parties.

After a sensible moment for magical enchanting, the party charged. They're undead invisibility seemed to be holding up as they got closer to the colossus. A call came out from the undead group behind the colossus. "There are invisible enemies approaching, Nathaire," yelled the skeleton. Rachelle noticed, as she flew through the air that the mercurial armed skeleton now possessed half of a mercurial face as well. It's gaze followed her as she flew.
The colossus looked around in vain. The party was in place for their attack.

Kalar flies around behind the colossus, moving above the minions straggling behind. He waits for Rachelle to make her move against the colossus. Soon as she does, and provided that they are outside of the blast range, he will unleash divine destruction upon the battlefield, destroying as many of the minions he can.

Rachelle moves herself into position near the colossus as so to not immediately get crushed by it or overrun by undead, wills herself into a rage, and slashes at the giant undead.
She desperately hopes that the sword doesn't require shoving it into the undead's mouth for the undead-destroying part of the weapon to activate.

Voulton stays off to one side of Rachelle and the Colossus hoping to use it (or more hopefully its corpse) as a kind of screen between him, the mundane undead and whatever punishment Kalar intends to lay down upon them.
Assuming there's a pretty good amount of distance between him and the undead army (and there'd better be if Kalar is gonna start slinging spells) Voulton will wait until Rachelle strikes and the party goes visible before chugging his bears endurance potion and finding a good spot to start the battle from.

Rob follows Voulton's lead in battlefield positioning. He can tell Stumpy is excited and wants to gallop, but rob keeps him reined in, and continues singing his song. Voulton may be the only one close enough to hear it fully, but he doesn't worry about that, and gives every verse his all.

Rachelle strikes. The sword slashes into the colossus. Rachelle could feel the sword urging her to curve her strike but she couldn't follow it's unspoken suggestion and her strike ended. She left a large gash in the colossus but it remained standing.
The party went into action. Voulton chugged his potion, Kalar cast earth reaver. This time, it had it's normal effect and because he was expecting it's radius to be much larger, Kalar only got half of the group in his spell. Only two skeletons remained, including the silvery one, along with 4 wraiths and a ghoul. Rob began singing and Lynda readied herself to attack.
The Colossus' eyes turned directly towards Rachelle then. It readied it's large club.

(On his turn) Voulton chucks his cat-pee bag at the Colossus, moving to get into range if he has to. At the very least, it might distract him!

Flying through the sky was amazing. The wind in her hair, rushing through her cloak, the horrid undead army beneath them...oh wait. Lynda promptly focused on the battle. She began to formulate an idea.
"Kalar, I have a crazy idea!" She tells him. "I'm gonna impale one of these horrid bags on to an arrow. I want to fire that arrow in to the colossus mouth. Could you get me to a vantage point?"
Lynda begins putting the bag on to the arrow, careful not to spill its contents. If Kalar can get her positioned right, she'll fire the arrow in to the mouth of the colossus.

"Very well, hold on tight!"
Kalar orders Bill to fly in closer to the colossus, within arrow range bot hopefully out of range of its attack.
Next round:
If the undead are packed tightly together, Kalar will use the 7d6 globe on his Necklace of Fireballs.
If the undead are scattered, he will instead try to bring as many as possible under his control.

Rachelle takes a short step under the colossus and swings her sword at it again, this time trying her best to curve the weapon like it wanted her to. There was no way she could get out of the range of this thing, but maybe if she made it hard for it to even get to her...?

Rachelle flies around the colossus, trying to prevent it from attacking her. She strikes at it again with similiar result. The sword tears a hole but the colossus does not fall. Her efforts to twart it's attack seem in vain as it steps to the side and smashes it's tree trunk club down on her. The impact sends Rachelle slamming into the ground. She struggles to keep her wits about her as she takes the hit, but the strentgh of the brutal slam was like nothing she had experienced before.
The party rallied around the colossus. Voulton tossed a sack, but his aim proved not enough and the sack hit harmlessly into the colossus' side. Lynda had a similiar result as she shot a hastily made sack and arrow combination at the colossus. Rob continues his song and surveys the battlefield.
With the sack and sword ineffective and Rachelle out of it's way, the colossus continued towards the city.
A large ballista bolt shot by the colossus, just missing it's head. The guards on the wall readied arrows and spears. The colossus would soon be at the wall.
The undead around the skeleton with the silvery arm stay in a group. However, the skeleton makes commands them to spread out and they ungroup a tiny bit. Not enough to fully avoid a blast radius, however.
Rachelle takes 62 dmg.
