Day 1

Travled with no incidents reaching Far Point Lake by early evening where they camped. Getting to know each other Tim continued to be suspicious of Eric.

Human refugee wandered approached the camp just after dusk and was invited into the camp. The players were suspicious of the human visitor because they didn't feel it was natural for him to be out here in this area.

Eric had been outside the camp when the refugee came in and continued to stay outside the camp and watch.

Tim offered his bedroll to the visitor and told him he could sleep by the fire. The players had one tent that just fit them and Dunk so they snuggled in there.

The visitor waited about 3 hours before getting up and approaching the tent. Eric was going to watch for 4 hours.

Eric had been to far from camp to intervene, but managed to yell a warning as the refugee began to enter the tent.

Tim was the only one to awaken immediately, he awoke to see the refugee at the entrance tot he tent but hesitated. The visitor lunged at him with his hands tearing two large pieces of flesh from Tim's chest.

Tim then managed to make quick work of the poor soul.

Once Dunk realized what had happen, he began to explain about the Fell. Tim immediately began to burn the body. Eric cut off the head and buried it.

Tim and Eric were suspicious as to why Dunk hadn't realized he was Fell before. Dunk explained that the refugee must have just turned. That sometimes the dead don't even realize they are dead, but that the body will start to break down overtime.

Just before dawn Eric who was on watch spotted the Goblin patrol immediately. Eric was able to rouse the party quickly and moved up towards the bridge. Just as the Construct stepped on the bridge the Elves collapsed the bridge and told the party to run. The party ran south east down the old caravan path having to back track to head back towards Durgis Rock.

Travled with no incidents

Day 6

In the early morning, Eric thought he heard a Orc warcry echoing in the mountains.

Mid morning, Lorrie froze in her tracks when she saw a huge winged beast which had to be the largest dragon that ever existed fly overhead.

Mid afternoon Eric on point, came across a wounded Orc and was able to question him and find out that Durgis Rock had been attacked, wiping out all resistance with no problem.

Late afternoon the party could see and smell the smoke from Durgis Rock.

When the party finally reached Durgis, they climbed to an advantagous point where they could look down upon the city. The could see the slavers and the captive dwarves outside the great hall, the loot being piled upon the .. and 3 constructs delivering the dead to the fires.

Eric and Tim debated on their next course of action, when Rhiann announced that she had located the item they had come for, that it was in the Great Hall and their were only 8 Orcs in the Great Hall.

Dunk said he knew a secret way into the city and into the hall and Rhiann said that the Elves would distract the constructs while the rest of the party retrieved the case.

Dunk let party into the marmot holes and brought them up in an antechamber off of the Great Hall.

The party delayed in action and debated on what to do about the Orcs when they heard loud thundering explosions coming from outside. The Orcs left the Great Hall to investigate.

Eric watched the entrance to keep watch for when the Orcs would return. Tim found the Kings chamber behind the throne and took Fiona with him to search for the case. Lorrie came across Woden's body and bent down to check his vital signs, when Woden reached out for her, but she soothed him and he remembered her.

He asked her about the Elves and the women and children. She told him that the Elves were here. Woden told her to give the case to the Elves and to swear to save what women and children she could and told her that the case was located behind the sun in the second column to the right when sitting on the throne. Woden perished not long after that.

Lorrie quickly located the column and pictograph of the sun and had no problem opening the secret space. She quickly retrieved the case and called for the others.

Eric saw the children and women dwarves cutting the throats of the fallen goblins and noticed the Orcs returning, he called out in Dwarvish "Quick, come here!" The dwarves only seeing Eric as a Orc ran!

The Orcs spotted Eric and began running towards him.

Eric quickly retreted back into the Great Hall informing everyone that the orcs were coming back, some of the party not realizng that it was only the original 8 Orcs coming back thought that it was more and the party quickly retreated down the marmot hole.

Once safely back in the tunnels, Dunk asked Eric where the women and children were. When Eric told him that they had run off, Dunk wanted to run off after them. Tim and Eric wanted to make their escape as they considered the case more important. But Lorrie spoke up saying that she had given her word to Woden to save the women and children, Tim and Eric finally relented and were barely able to keep Dunk from running off on his own to find the women and children.

Day 12

While traveling, Freya noticed the Dwarven guidemark indicating that there was an underground entrance up ahead. Not knowing how far ahead, the party began moving more slowly down the trail looking for further guidemarks.

Norvis was the first to notice something strange in the path and realized that there was an hidden path ducking behind some rocks. Freya saw the nursey rhyme but could not recall anything about it.

One of the dwarven women noticed farther down the trail Orcs coming up and called out to Freya. The party looked to see a large Orc war party coming up the trail.

Fiona was quick to point out that one of the children should know it. Several children were brought up and quickly began singing the nursey rhyme while Freya pushed on the pictographs in the correct order.

The party quickly entered the mountain and ushered the dwarven refugees inside. The party quickly began to look for a lever to shut the entrance behind them but could not find it. Having spilled into the next room a dwarven women noticed it and called out. The party was then able to shut the door safely locking themselves inside the mountain away from the approaching Orc war party.
