So the night began with the long awaited return of Lord Fangoran, General of the armies of high water, former screaming lance and leader of the Black Hounds of Errith initiative....as well as the troglodyte chieftans son. We awoke to find ourselves in a hole in the ground with 2 dwarves..who they were, where we were...all mysteries. Hole was 30ft deep, 10ft wide (very cramped quarters) but the troglodyte was able to effect self release by climbing the greased wall with a miraculous roll, lowered the rope suspended from a lock in grate allowing one of the dwarves to clammor up the rope to the locked grate and one hand hulk heave open this metal obstruction. Oddly enough, we emerge to find cleaning materials for us to get cleaned up, healing potions to put us back to full life and all our possessions. Apparently, bob the bullette has a vested interest in seeing the black hounds succeed! Anyway, we left the torture chambers to find ourself in the familiar snowy winter time mountatin tops of the dwarf nation.....where we were soon fighting 4 frost giants and some new kind of breed of fire imps/mephits. Myself and the warrior dwarf began our hacking and slashing, dropping 2 giants in a few round (my fumbles made a giant fumble who fumbled directly into the dwarfs spiked chain around his neck which the dwarf usedd to LIFE FREE OR DIE HARD choke this giant out while I was wrapping up ther head of another giant with a spiked net and jabbing my trident into it. Fang was working on 2 giants, killing one buit then getting attacked by the other as well as a few of the mephits who he painfuly discovered that they blow up when you kill them....so, he got the bright idea of stuffing this mini flying torch....INTO THE JOCKSTRAP OF A FROST GIANT!!! ANd, even worse. After they explode.....the ashes they leave behind......slowly heat up, reconstitute and spit out a brand new mephit. "It's all about suppression........" Our dwarven mage was able to constitute some cold AOE that destroyed the mephits ability to reform thus winning the fight. 4 frost giants and 5 new and improved fire mephits....down.
Next we pick up with BArdistiva and the merry gathering of the Black Hounds of Errith. We dispatched the red drakes easily but were warned off of destroying the town as, our favorite dwarf Bob the bullette, informs us that Lord Leng the betrayer is heading to this very town as is lord Fang. We decide to spare the town..for now, kill everything, set up ambush and kill this traitor to the dwarves. The trap went like clockwork; our mad gnome bomber made a super bomb that dropped 10 red drake soldiers, 2 frost giants and wounded as well as knocked down 3 other frost giants. Our archer went straight after the monsterous priests that were around Leng, dropping them both with gnome adjusted explosive arrows while THunk finished the giants on the ground with Comander Cauldwell. Bardistiva, activates his flame ability and by himself, charges after a retreating Leng. He turned a corned, got SUPER smacked by a waiting Leng, flaming battle axe and all. Bardistiva then tried to grab hold of Leng but failed and got cut in two. So ended the blessed life of Bardistiva (-36/30 HP). THunk came over afterwards and rocked the dwarf betrayer with a flail strike that put leng on his back...where the little psychotic gnome took lengs axe and ran with it! Rest of the battle went easy; we all ganged up on em and we brought the vile prick down. Now, we have gurg dirtwater, the young gold dragon hatchling, with us and must now keep him safe from all harm. What will happen next? Will the sudsy fist get word that their quarry has met his end at the hands of other adventurers and not theirs? How will this group of adventurers factor into their plans for their home nation?
