What a fight! Here's what worked for me (after 3 or 4 tries
):
1. I picked a fight with the first fire giant I met when I entered the area. This way, my weaker characters were still sheltered in the doorway and didn't get beat on. The other giants (and eventually Ilmadia) started streaming up the walkway to the south of me - perfect positioning for area-of-effect spells.
2. If a giant started to straggle up towards the doorway, and my fighters were too busy, I had my mage cast Chromatic Orb or Icelance to stun the giant in place until it could be attended to more directly.
3. As soon as I saw Ilmadia, I sent my strongest fighter after her, and put an archer on her as well.
Good luck!
