Maggie was greeted home with news of her impending wedding, a merger of 2 clans with complementing business concerns.  Maggie described her preference for the “single life”.  Her father seemed to acquiesce, deferring further discussion for a family “vacation” at Nightstone.  Maggie and Dudley hopped back into their coach and proceeded the family to Nightstone.  They were to meet their friend, Camele, along the road to Nightstone.
Ronan was raised in Everlund in a musical family with parents and cousins who often had informal kitchen hootenannies.  Ronan preferred more formal musical training and played in local halls and festivals.  Ronan gained vast experience, fans and a trinket.  A set of small keys had been dropped in his open hat on open-mic night by a cloaked humanoid who quickly disappeared, almost roguishly, into the night.
Ronan and Skithryx had become fast friends in the past few years.  They had decided to travel the few days necessary to reach Nightstone where the wealthy came to hunt, and adventure may soon follow.

A devastated city of Nightstone greeted our adventurers. A magically constructed castle decended from the sky over Nightstone.  Cloud giants tossed boulders down upon the city destroying buildings and panicking the residents, who fled the city.  Our intrepid adventures battled worgs and goblins, rescued a fair damsel and utilizing enhanced interregation techniques, learned that the city residents fled to nearby caves.
So while Derp is tied and gagged in the stable and Kella, Dudley and Maggie’s driver keep lookout in one of the gate towers, our adventurers are planning to clean out the rest of the village.  And by “clean out”, they mean “rob”.

The crew picked the cloud giant Duchess Sansuri who lives in a cloud castle called Lyn Armaal.  They were woken by the sound of stone grinding on stone followed by a loud stone crash.  When everyone went to the doors they were met by a gargantuan ancient blue dragon.  Harshnag told everyone to run while he ran toward the great beast, sword drawn.  Harshnag and the dragon were exchanging blows but Harshnag had no defense against the lightening breath weapon and he fell with smoke rising from his chest.  As the five humanoids, our heroes, were running for the north guard room, Ronan and Skithryx saw the blue dragon grab the trident from the storm giant statue, magically polymorph into a storm giant and touched the trident to the glyph on the portal arch for storm giants.  The portal activated and the giant or dragon stepped through.  The Tick and Ronan rushed to his side and gave him a healing potion and some magical healing. Maggie raced into the north guardroom, jumped up and pushe

Morning, 25th of Ches, 1492 DR Zephros explained the shattering of the Ordning , the hierarchy of giant-kind and that King Hekaton is missing. Zephros could well be a powerful magic user as Skithrix heard Zephros casting high-level spells related to communicating with other planes. Late Morning, 27 of Ches, 1492 DR Day 3 brought visitors to the cloud giants tower; 9 giant vultures carrying cultists landed at the base of the tower in front of the main door They demanded to speak with the master of the tower.  The intimidating Skithrix did not deter them for long, however, as they returned later that day and refused to leave, storming past Skithrix to enter the tower.  A battle ensued.  Skithrix called down an impenetrable  blackness upon them, while Chamele, tiny of body but stout of heart, grappled the taller fanatic to the ground, keeping him quite helpless.  Needless to say, our motley crew prevailed against their foes.

The Voice of a Giant God - July 8th

Initial theories (Harshnag’s axe in the hands of the frost giant statue, etc) on how to activate the gateway did not work.  Everyone went into the south hall and found giant-sized tables and benches and a giant sized stone slab that seemed to be used for food preparation.  The air here was warm due to a seemingly perpetual fire burning in the middle of the room.  There was also a remoraz which immediately moved to attack.  Surprisingly, Harshnag was not as big a help as everyone may have hoped.  After the big bug was killed, they found a giant sized great axe leaning against the wall.  They immediately asked Harshnag, who agreed, to put the ax into the statue.  Nothing happened.  Maggie/Chamele suggested the glyphs were significant.  When the Frost giant great-axe was touched to the glyph for frost/snow the portal began to swirl with looked like thunder clouds.  They could make out a room beyond but no other details could be gleaned.  They all (not Harshnag) stepped through. They
