Terser moves behind Dernock on the lift and attempts to knock it down one level to bring them even with the spider thing. If successful, he will lash out with his glaive. If not, he will try to grab on to keep the elevator level with their opponent.

Sam casts Glitterdust at the Spider thing
Dernock is able to wriggle free of the webs and makes a bold and daring leap to the far side of the scaffolding. I jumped you to P/17 as Q/15 would require a 40 check. Normally you need to declare where you are trying to get and make the attempt. I gave you this one as the first distance was simply far beyond what Dernock could do
Devlin hurls a flaming ball at the spider and the elementals close and attack. A trio of stone creatures emerge from the rock and strike at the Spider. One connects solidly to the hard armored shell
Urval moves up and casts a spell of healing into Oathbreaker
Bruagh moves up waiting for a chance to strike. Dernock jumped to that square, i put you in the next available
Terser moves behind Dernock and operates the lift, lowering it 10'. move action to the lift and move action to lower it A move action allows yOu to control the lift down at a speed of 30 and up at a speed of 15. You can cut the ropes of course and be down in a hurry
The Glitterdust spell sparkles about the creature, but it pays no heed to the spell, Sam Only Highlight to display spoiler: { it speaks into your mind, "I shall save you, little morsel, for last. Watch as your friends perish and despair"}
The spider slashes at Dernock as he makes his harrowing leap. AoO Hit AC 30 Dmg 19
The spider shifts slightly on the wall and then lashes out at Oathbreaker with horrific ferocity and speed
One of the massive spiked forelegs drives into Oathbreaker's abdomen, the other slams into the wall by his head. Fangs are revealed as the spider opens its pincers and it sinks them deep into the dwarf's shoulder Claw Hit AC 18 and 34 Bite Hit AC 32 Dmg 47 + Rot DC 23 Fortitude save or take 2 points of Constitution . note this is not a poison
Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 13 -- HP 44/44 Tuesday May 7th, 2013 11:01:34 PM
Sam, frustrated and enraged, feels his blood boil. His hand not holding his wand clenches into a white-knuckled fist. After Oathbreaker takes the massive hit, Sam lets out a yell. His energy channels into his free hand and is immediately releases it. Another glitterdust spell hits the spider and Sam suddenly vanishes. (Glitterdust DC= 18 or blind... and invisibility on self via a hero point)
Sam rushes to Oathbreaker's aid (O19) while yelling words of encouragement to the team.
"Urval, help me heal Oath. I'll be right next to you. Come on Grim Guard! It is our duty to avenge the fallen!" (Inspire courage +2)

Wanting to give his friends any sort of advantage that he can Devlin once again begins to summon a creature of the wilds. The cry of an eagle tears through his mind as he focuses on bringing the creature to the fight.
Instinctively Raeb moves to Devlin's side wanting to protect him from harm.
The elementals once again focus their wrath on the spider. Their forms begin to waiver a little as the magic holding them here unravels. One of the creatures strikes a mighty blow cracking the spiders carapace.

The Oathbreaker coughs up a sizeable amount of blood, immediately falling unconscious. (Fort Save: 8) However, Urval's intervention brings him back from Gargul's grasp. The masked dwarf gasps for breath, struggling against the spider's grasp. -------------------- Can't find the rules on being squeezed, is it a combat maneuver check?
Under Terrain and Obstacles of the combat section http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/combat.html I had thought allies could occupy the same space and squeeze. That's incorrect and we won't be doing that anymore.

Finally in range of the beast, Terser grins like a madman, adjusts his stance (5 foot step north) and lashes out twice at the creature, managing one solid blow power attack.

Another glitterdust spell hits the spider and Sam suddenly vanishes. Sam rushes to Oathbreaker's aid while yelling words of encouragement to the team.
Devlin begins to summon more allies as the earth elementals continue raining blows at the spider.
Urval heals Oathbreaker heal for 16
Oathbreaker still lies unconscious, but is stable. The abyssal venom also still courses through his body, melting flesh and weakening bone. Rot DC 23 Fortitude save or take 2 points of Constitution
Terser grins like a madman and lays into the spider, striking once hard. Ichor splashes from the wound
Bruagh moves up to strike, but the spider is 10' below him upon the wall
Dernock curses in pain, but finds that he too, cannot reach his target
The Spider shakes his head as the Glitterdust spell erupts about him again and his legs stamp upon the wall, obviously in distress over the spell. It withdraws down the wall to teh chamber floor below, moving a little less surely than it was moments ago.

Sam points his wand at Oathbreaker and touches his wound. (Healed 2 hp with wand of CLW)
The invisible gnome stays by the fallen dwarf's side. The others will now have to handle the foe without his spellcasting aid.

Devlin launches another orb of flame at the spider. The missile splashes onto the creatures back burning through more of its carapace. The Druid seeing he is in the open moves back into the shelter of the hallway bringing Raeb with him.
The elementals in a last ditch effort to attack the spider launch themselves out of the wall to fall down onto its back. As the three creatures hit the ground they melt back to the plane from which they came.
The Eagle swoops down to the spider and begins to claw at its eyes.
Actions: Devlin Throw fire at spider Ranged Touch attack (120' range) = 12, Dam = 6 Move to J,22

Shonti gestures and slings a fireball directly behind the spider to avoid hitting the charging Grim Guard members. (24 damage)
Ooc-Derek is taking a break from the Wold. I'm at a bar and don't have the resources to see what spells he has left. I figure since he didn't cast anything last round, I'm just making up for it with a spell from his list.

Urval casts anouther healing spell into Oathbreaker heal for 13
Rage pours from the Abyssal spider through its telepathic links to all the Grim Guard. Langauge so foul and black, it seems to rip at your souls as well as offend the ears. It lunges blindly at the area where Terser stands. Its great forelegs driving about and that awful spider mouth of abyssal bile. The first attack is well off the mark, but the following strikes catch the Grim Guard dwarf.

Seeing that the spider has been knocked back on its proverbial heels, Sam steps to (M19) and begins humming a low, droning note. He ends it with a short, sharp "chirp" spound that rips through the air as he reappears. A blast of sound hits just behind the spider. (Cast sound burst for 7 sonic damage.

Hearing the shrieks of the spider from below Devlin steps to the edge of the platform and hurls another ball of flame at the demonic creature. Raeb nudges against the Druid before turning to watch the hallway.
The eagle continues its assault of the spider flying away from the blades the dwarfs are swinging and attacking the creature from the other side.

The Chamber Round 11 End Combat Sunday May 12th, 2013 4:05:10 PM
Spells fly, stinging the creature, enraging it more, but it is the mighty barbarian Terser which ends the creatures life and existence in the Wold. It crumples lifelessly to the floor of the great chamber, black and green puss-like blood, oozing from the many great swings of Terser. Bruagh arrives in time to pound the thing in the head, causing it to literally explode beneath his blow

Sam expels a heavy sigh as the spider dies. In the moment of victory, his mind flashes to Tahni. He wonders if they'll ever see her again. To rid himself of the sudden wave of melancholy, Sam chirps, "That was a little rough! Oath, are you ok?"
Sam is ready to follow the group back to the festival.

Devlin waits up at the entrance to guard the passageway. He dismisses the eagle which flies up and through the ceiling. Raeb lets out a low growl as she settles down next to the Druid. Alright lads do we wait here for a while and give Oath the rest he needs or do we push out of here. If ya give me a night I can cure some of that rot that is effecting him in the morning.

Terser channels his rage one last time to heal some of his injuries, then releases it, panting heavily, covered in ichor from the beast. He allows himself several moments to breathe before seeing what he can do to assist his allies.

The Chamber After Combat Monday May 13th, 2013 10:16:00 PM
Several of the group put a final arrow or get one more slash into the spider for good measure. it is most assuredly dead.
Sam employs a wand on several of the Grim Guard and a couple healing spells are cast as well. The group was triumphant again, but this was one of the more harrowing combats. As if to emphasize the deadliness of the encounter with the abyssal, Oathbreaker moand slightly as the rot continues to eat at his flesh. [i]Oathbreaker needs to make another Fort DC 23 or suffer 2 Con damage. 2 consecutive saves are needed[i]
A glance about the chamber shows multiple ways out at the main level There are also some crates and debris that has been pushed awa from the center to lie against the wall at the perimeter. The group discusses putting up a camp right here, after all what sort of other threats could possibly be here with such a creature in the mines. It's not like the thing could have a mate

Terser nods, acknowledging that his statement was only bravado.
It sounded like it came from the abyss under its own power. It did not sound like there was anything else dangerous in the cavern. But it would not hurt to check it out once we have had a chance to recover.
Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 13 -- HP 44/44 Tuesday May 14th, 2013 12:44:13 PM "It most likely jumped planes. It doesn't look like it'll be doing that anymore though."

The Chamber After Combat Wednesday May 15th, 2013 7:28:49 AM
Oathbreaker's body is wracked with pain as the Abyssal rot continues to eat away at him. Urval tries to stem the onslaught, but is unsuccessful. Devlin casts a spell upon Oathbreaker in an attempt to bolster the dwarf's natural ability to stave off the insidious attack. They will know of its success in the next few moments. A discussion is held about the spider, was it alone, is there anything else in the mines is the Grim Guard expected to search out anything else even if it is?
Everyone in the group, as the subject is broached, is quite sure clan lord Ironbane only mentioned destroying the abyssal spider. The mine complex is likely very sizable, as mines are want to be.

There is little any in the group can do for Oathbreaker except encourage him. Terser spies what appears to be a nest just inside one of the tunnels and most disturbing is he thinks he just saw something move. Shonti, still up on the scaffolding near the way the group came in calls back down, [b]"Hidin!? Bah! Aye, I'm still ere ye lout. Jus makin sure we ain't sealed in!

The Chamber After Combat Thursday May 16th, 2013 9:53:04 PM
Oathbreaker is in pretty bad shape, the rot did a number on his body. Terser tosses a pebble, easy enough to come by, and sees a regular rat scurry from the nest. He also sees the glint of metal and hears the sound of ceramic on metal as something in the nest shifts with the rat's departure. As a whole the group is not sure is resting right where they are is the best course of action or not. A few minutes pass, Oathbreaker is at least not getting any worse. He is certainly not getting better, but it would seem the abyssal rot has run its course and he won't be dying today

Sam moves to investigate the nest, Terser right with him, just in case there is more than webs and rats and indeed there is. Nothing that requires the warriors blade though. Bits of ripped armor and broken weapons with crushed and splintered bone are grouped in a pile surrounded by those horrid sticky webs, some rock and busted wooden beams. Sam finds teh specific cause of the glint that captured his attention. When the rat left, it disturbed a leather pouch, out of which spilled half a dozen coins and a bronze vial with the symbol of Domi upon it. Without getting his hands to dirty, Sam spots several other pouches and packs that present the shape of having objects within them. circling the pile, he also discovers a set of boots with runes about the uppers and one leg of its former owner.
Searching the pile will be messy and take several hours. Oathbreaker doesn't seem to be in immediate danger so there would only be the threat of something else arriving on the scene

Terser will aid in searching the pile, for loot, and possible items that would identify the previous owner so they can be properly buried.

An hour of going through the nest is sticky work, but at least the creature seemed to remove anything juicey and did not leave behind anything to put your foot in so to speak. So small favors all around. With the aid of Terser and Shinto and his own Detect Magic, Sam is able to confidently say the nest has been thoroughly searched.

Alright lad this should get you back on your feet. With a few words and a low droning hum Devlin casts two spells on the wounded Dwarf restoring much of his lost strength and heartiness.

Return to the Festival Wednesday May 22nd, 2013 8:20:53 AM
Sam is able to identify most of the items, but is not sure what magic the boots and one of the wands possess. Time passes and at some point the Guard decide it is time to move on. Spells are prepared and cast and Devlin is almost able to fully remove the effects of the spiders bite from Oathbreaker.
Gear stowed, wounds on the mend, the party exits the mines from the shaft they entered. The slope seems far more noticeable now that you are travelling up it. It has no dangers within it and in time, you emerge into the open sky of the Scab. Scattered clouds move overhead in a deep blue sky and a gentle breeze pushes past you coming out of the valley below towards the upper reaches of the mountain.

The Oathbreaker awakes in the same amount of pain, but hides the grimace behind his mask. He manages to meditate long enough to gain his spells, but is about to scream in agony when Devlin cures him of the rot. The masked dwarf takes a shuddering breath, looking up to the other dwarf with wide eyes. He grab's Devlin's arm and mutters, "Thank you... I owe you, Devlin." The Oathbreaker hops to his feet, grabbing his bow and taking the usual place behind Braugh. He pulls up the hood of his cloak and is as silent as ever on their path, keeping an eye out for anything unusual. (Perception: 33)

Return to the Festival Friday May 24th, 2013 9:50:44 AM
Spirits are lifting as the party marches back to the festival and tell of the success in destroying the abyssal nightmare that had stalked the mines for so long. Devlin's magic has nearly removed all of the rot from Oathbreaker, though some of the physical wounds still sting at the tough dwarf. The morning passes with nothing unusual to be seen or heard. Several eagles ride the wind high above and once the sharp eyed party spots a hippogryph banking back in behind a nearby mountain. A small family of mountain goats heading for higher rockier ground as the party nears.
After the a midday break, the party comes across a sobering scene. Lower in the valley, on what appears to be a trail of some kind, lie half a dozen bodies. From here the party can tell that 5 are dwarves and one is human. The bodies are in a defensive circle, the ruins of some wooden construction, perhaps a wagon, about 30' away. About 100' away from the bodies is a 20' radius black circle.
The party is on a higher trail about 120' above. Making your way down would not overly difficult. Climb DC 5

Don't advance too closely until I get back. Ever cautious of a trap the Dwarf ducks behind Raeb and begins to concentrate. As he does so his form begins to warp and shift, shrinking down on itself. Soon a beak and wings begin to take shape and with a sudden lurch all that is left is a small hawk where the Dwarf used to be. He bobs his head to the group and waits for them to move away a bit before taking off to fly over the camp and see what is below.
Raeb begins to climb down the cliff with the rest of the group finding small animal trails to make it easier for her.

From about a hundred feet up, Devlin has a good view of the trail and surrounding terrain. He can easily see the Grim Guard, the 6 dead on the trail below them and the perfect black circle. He does not see any creatures hiding in ambush or lying anywhere else. Whatever killed them is no longer about.
Oathbreaker and Bruagh keep a sharp eye out for trouble, but note nothing other than rock and scrub brush. Sam offers up a Feather Fall ring and Urval dons it for his descent. The climb down is quite easy and there are no issues by any to do so.
The group soon gathers about the 6 fallen. None are armed, though all wear scabbards and hangers for weapons. The human and one of the dwarves are not in armor of any kind, the other 4 are wearing battered and torn breastplate armor. Only 2 Heavy shields can be accounted for, both destroyed. The unarmored dwarf has no boots on and his skin is untanned from elbow to wrist to both arms. None of the men have packs, belts or cloaks. There is a great deal of dried blood on all of them, much of it theirs from horrid raking wounds. Massive bruising and crushed portions suggest bludgeoning as well. There is also a fair amount of blood that is likely not theirs. Now that you are closer, the group finds multiple torches and smaller blackened areas all over from right in front of the bodies to lines 30' long.

Devlin lands on the ground and reverts back to his natural shape. He stands and stretches his arms and legs a bit. Everything looks clear from the air but that sphere of darkness worries me. Could just be a mage but we have seen too many Drow to not count them out. I will start searching the area for tracks and prints try to figure out what happened here. Want to help me Oath?
Devlin begins to examine the area trying to see how the battle happened and where the attackers went.

Urval uses his ring to descend, and just observes as he waits to see what would occur
Death on the Road Wednesday May 29th, 2013 10:52:48 PM
Devlin and Oathbreaker begin to move around trying to put together what might have happened. Dernock spends some time getting a closer look at the bodies. Could he know them? Or have heard of them? Sam investigates the scorch marks and Bruagh keeps a watchful eye for the inevitable trap Urval watches over everything
Devlin and Oathbreaker move about and can tell the group of 6 were attacked and fell back to the defensive formation where they fell. Numerous broken shafts lie about from missile fire as the group faded to here from 80' further away. The fall back was orderly from what the pair can tell and unfortunately for them, they fell back into the waiting ambush. Oathbreaker and Devlin count 10 main attackers and an ambush party of perhaps 8 more. Partial prints and marks give the dwarves the impression the attackers were giants of some kind. There is also evidence of at least 6 of the giants having been felled, but the bodies have been carried off. Not very giant like.
Sam deduces from his investigation that the circular black mark is from a fireball, the 9 other scorch lines are likely from scorching ray spells
Dernok does not recognize any of the fallen nor do they have any identifying sigils or emblems. Most likely an adventuring party
Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 13 -- HP 44/44 Wednesday May 29th, 2013 11:29:46 PM "Looks like a big fireball and a bunch of scorching rays finished them off. Any idea where they headed to?"
Sam then looks to Bruagh,"Even if we know which way they are headed, what do we do next? Do we return to the festival grounds to tell of our victory or chase after this new threat? Maybe someone at the festival knows of these attackers. Maybe they were already hit by them. What about Tahni?"
Oathbreaker (Ian) 19/15/15 - 35/49 (1 Con Damage) - CMD 21 Wednesday May 29th, 2013 11:53:54 PM "Giants," the masked dwarf mutters, looking down the path he and his ally have tracked. Standing up straight, he looks to Devlin and nods. "I suppose the Grim Guard has a new target, aye?" The group's name still felt odd on his tongue.

Devlin nods at Oath as he returns to the group. Aye, they be a threat but one I think we need ta warn the festival about. Also there are still 12 of the beasts runnin' about. I dont like our odds against that number. At least not without some preparation.
Sam I think the fireball and rays were from this lot here. Devlin says pointing to the slaughtered party.They put up a good fight but were overwhelmed.
The Druid pats Raeb as he waits for the rest of the group to discuss the plan.

Bruagh always tries to hide his emotions. What would they think if they knew that he thought of her every waking moment? Only when in battle can he truly get thoughts of her out of his head. Yet, he had grown accustomed to those thoughts. Yet to her someone speak of her, almost as if he had forgotten about her.... brought the pain back to bear with full force.
"We need to go back to the festival, report our success, and find what we can about these giants. I can't help but wonder if these giants have something to do with the stone giants we met when we first came in contact with Delrid? As for Tahni, she was taken by demons and a necromancer... I hope they aren't in league with giants... that could just take this from bad to worse."
Urval Torsten: AC23/13/17 - CMD17 - HP54/54 Thursday May 30th, 2013 4:38:33 PM

Return to the festival Saturday June 1st, 2013 7:57:17 AM
The group concludes their investigation of the area and decides that after seeing to the dead, they would return to the festival to report on the death of the creature of the mines and to warn of a fairly sizable giant party in the area. Digging is a challenge without shovels, picks or spades, and soon the group sets on creating rock cairns. The task done, the party resumes their journey to the festival grounds. The trip consumes the rest of the day and the party has to spend several hours in the dark to arrive. The sounds of the festival reach your ears long before any sights or smells. From those sounds, it seems the festival has returned to much of its former self. The steady rhythm of deep voices proclaim a song is in progress and an occasional chorus of 'huzzah!' erupts aw well.
One difference you note as you round the bend and the festival comes into view is a grip of 4 dwarves, well armed and alert, scattered among a group of boulders. One of them barks back towards the festival "They return!"
The party enters the festival proper to a swarm of dwarves, some gal flings, a few gnomes and many of the elves cheering and hoisting drinks.
Clan Lord Ironbane and a distinguished looking elf you have not met come to greet you as the chorus of cheers continues, "It is done then? Ha you dour life sapping harp player. I knew they would". He claps the elf on the back with a thunderous blow and laughs again.
The elf's face is indeed looking dour, though a cold smile does appear on his face. The look and smile are directly squarely at Ironbane. "I'm no dwarf, thus I can see such things quite plainly. ". Ironbane barks a 'Ha!' In reply, "No never mind, on that Di, you lost the wager and I expect our agreement to be held in account as it always is."
Ironbane than clearly turns to address the group, "come my freinds, heroes of the festival, come to the main square and tell us all of your triumph."
With that Ironbane leads you to the main common area, drinks are waiting, and so is what seems to be the entire festival
Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 13 -- HP 44/44 Saturday June 1st, 2013 9:30:08 PM
Sam selfishly enjoys the hero's welcome, while at the same time temporarily suppressing the news of the dead found in the trail. Maybe it's due to the constant strife that the Grim Guard faces, but it seems the right thing to do for the bard. Sam grabs a mug of ale and uses his bardic charm to flirt with any beautiful, female gnome worth his attention. (22 charisma BTW.)

Devlin relaxes with the rest of the group and takes in the sights and sounds of the festival again. He answers questions as best he can without giving away the groups information too freely. He does his best to present the information about the giant attack and let Lord Ironbane know that it should be considered a serious threat.
As the night goes on Devlin gravitates towards the edge of the celebration. Resting against Raeb the druid begins to whittle absentmindedly. The wood quickly begins to take shape in his hands but than an errant thought crosses his mind and causes a cut to go wrong ruining the carving. We almost lost another lad today. Devlin thinks with a sigh. He tosses the ruined carving into a fire and settles back into Raeb to watch the night slip by.

The stoic Bruagh finds Clanlord Ironbane and tells of the dwarves who fought against the giants and what they found at the site of the battle. Perhaps he has more information or at least knows who they were. He then retires for the night not in the mood to celebrate. He tries to go to sleep as soon as possible but finds himself wishing for a drink to push the pain of Tahni from his mind.

Return to the festival Monday June 3rd, 2013 7:10:26 PM
It seems nearly all of the attendees of the festival gather rapidly now that the party has returned. Sam looks for a gnome that he deems worth his eye. While there is no shortage of female gnomes interested in Sam, all three of them, it would not be fair to say any of them are any more attractive than the average gnome. Terser takes up a drink and some mutton quickly moved his way and does his best to keep his mouth full so as not to startle perhaps any at the festival with the news that a dozen giants are within hours and have already killed 6 hearty adventurers by all accounts. Devlin himself relaxes, or rather tries to do so, but with a dozen fairly drunken dwarves slapping you on the shoulder and thrusting tankards of ale into your face to raise in another toast to Domi and the triumph of dwarven might over infernal creatures of the abyss, relaxing is a challenge at best. Oathbreaker looks for alcohol, and because the gathered crowd brought dozens of kegs with them to apparently toast the night away in honor of the dwarves, Clan lord Ironbane and to a lesser extent, anything they can think of. Consumption of alcohol is not a problem. Brooding quietly is. Dernock is on the look out for doughnuts, and a cherubic halfling in a bright orange tunic and grass green colored pants has precisely what the dwarf ordered. Big as your head sugar and honey glazed doughnuts. Bruagh himself also has a delema, for clan lord Ironbane is within the throng and appears to be beard high in drink and not going anywhere else anytime soon.
As a group the festival goers are beyond exhuberant in their celebration of the victory of the Grim Guard. Even the elves, whom at first seemed more than a bit put off at the general dwarven behavior at the festival, were far less guarded and haughty towards the group and the other races.
At long last, A tipsy Ironbane arranges to get the entire party escorted to his pavillion. As he flops into the throne, Ironbane loudly bellows as he ejects the others from his pavillion. Ironbane dismisses everyone present in no uncertain terms, except for 2 of his personal guard, the elf that accompanied him originally to meet the party upon their return, a gnome and halfling, both of whom the party met before and know as the designated leaders and representatives of their respective races here at the festival. As the tent front drops close, Ironbane lurches forward and hoists a tankard into the air, spilling much of its contents, "To Dwarven might and Domi" a cheer comes from outside as well as inside from those silll there. Ironbane drains the tankard and hurls it across the room.
A mighty belch escapes his lips and Ironbane stands, quite fluidly and quite steady on his feet. "Alright now, you've got more on your minds than your victory and we would all like to know what it is." states a suddenly very sober and serious Ironbane
Sam: 16/12/15 -- CMD 13 -- HP 44/44 Tuesday June 4th, 2013 12:04:31 AM
Although a professional speaker, Sam chooses to remain silent and allow a dwarf of the Grim Guard to deal with Ironbane.

But it seemed as if they were overwhelmed. many were the fallen bodies of the giant foemen, but it seems that they were dragged away, so as to conceal they're loss, which seems a bit strange. Whatever they may have been up to, it is worth keeping the guards alert, and it seems we may have another hunt on our hands. It seems like there will never be a shortage of enemies for us to face in the defense of our homeland.

Return to the Festival Tuesday June 4th, 2013 9:25:57 PM
Ironbane and the others listen intently to any as the encounter on the road unfolds. They ask for some additional details, size of any prints found the body depressions of the suspected fallen giants and very much for all detail that can be recalled and imparted about the fallen. The elf purses his lips and casts a raising eyebrow at Ironbane in silent question. Ironbane grunts and nods and then speaks to the group about and the party.
"That be something I can't say that is not too unexpected. Foul giants have been seen upon the outskirts of the Stone Festival in the past. Likely planning to pull a raid when we all break and go our separate ways in about 2 days when the festival ends."
The gnome then speaks up, his voice and manner polished and refined with study and worldly travel, "Lord Ironbane, from the descriptions provided, I would counsel caution upon the termination of the Festival"
The halfling folds his arms across his chest, producing pipe and weed from his pockets and placing the pipe in his mouth, alights a finger and begins to smoke. He says nothing.
Ironbane speaks again, addressing Oathbreaker's question directly, "Nay, I don't know who those poor men might have been merely by your description. I and and I know their clansman where ever they may be thank you for doing what you could to do right by them. As to the giants, the Scab is flowing with them as you know." he appears ready to continue when the elf speaks up,
"You believe fire was used against them. If you are correct then we at least can rule out the Taiga and Fire giants so at least there is that."
Ironbane nods in agreement, "When the festival is officially ended, I am asking you to stay on for a week more. The Gnomes and halflings and most of the elves will be departing, but I as clan lord of the Festival have a few ends to take care of before departing this sacred area. I would ask that you stay. To perhaps look into this giant matter. I can provide shelter and food as well as access to our forges."

Closing Ceremonies Wednesday June 5th, 2013 10:14:56 PM
Ironbane smiles and nods as the group agrees to stay on for a few extra days. Bruagh's question brings a somber mood to the clan lord., "No, no word or such yet. But I still hold hope. My heart says there is hope and I shall cling to that with all my might."
The group disperses and is able to enjoy the closing days of the festival as Heroes of the Festival in about any manner that you might wish. A Catacombs messenger is indeed on hand, perusing the wares that the collective groups brought, purchasing some and selling to others. In two days the closing ceremonies calls an official end to the Stone Festival and almost everyone begins packing and by the end of the third day, only clan lord Ironbane, the party and about two dozen Ironbane clan dwarves remain. The party is brought up to center stage as it were and presented with a gift as Heroes of the Stone Festival and clan lord Ironbane names each of the party as Friends of Clan Ironbane. Each of the party members is presented with a beautifully carved ash twig in the shape of a holly and wrapped about a pin of Adamantine by the elves. Clan lord Ironbane then presents each of you with a steel 26 oz tankard emblazoned with the Ironbane emblem upon its sides and bottom
The catacombs merchant will stay on if the party requests, otherwise he too departs.
While not the Stone Festival, the 24+ dwarves do maintain a jovial atmosphere of song, food and drink. The clan lord himself stays within his pavilion a great deal of the time. Something about paperwork and a few odds and ends to see to.

Dernock is going to to take the time to ask the various wizards among the dwaves, elfs or gnomes about learning about magic. Nothing horribly in-depth or technical, just the basics: anything in the spirit of "Magic- the layman's Guide" or "What wizards and Sorcerers want you to know". If asked why he wants to know, Dernock will explain about the time he's been blasted or held by magical compulsions and would rather know more about the dirty rotters who keep subjecting him to firebolts, lightning balls, sleeps, symbols, magic arrows and acid missiles. Dernock will offer coin and possibly legal advice in return.

Urval will take the time to help the group catch up on their crafting deficit.
