Session 5 - Feb 11, 2018

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.  Once the blackness was lifted, the bodies of frost-bitten and acid burned bodies were all that remained.  Zephros was impressed at how our heroes carried themselves.
• A bag of holding and 10 pinches of pixie dust was their reward.
• The remainder of the trip (total of 26 days) was uneventful.  

Mid Morning, 20 of Tarsakh, 1492 DR

• Zephros dropped them off 10 miles to the south of Bryn Shander.
• Our four heroes hiked up the road north and approached the south-east gate of Bryn Shander.  Augrek was greeting visitors in her normal enthusiasm.  They immediately found Sheriff Southwell and relayed the sad message of his sisters passing.  They agreed to meet the sheriff for dinner at Kelvins Comfort.  Augrek escorted the company to the inn where they secured shared rooms.  A rush of activity in the central square drew our parties attention.  Something is happening at the south-west gate.
• 150 ft from the gates stood 3 frost giants and 2 wolves the size of horses.  "Surrender Artus Cimber…or die!"
