Stackor teleports off to the capitol to fetch the king’s men and return them to the army. There’s a spymaster, who will integrate himself as a fletcher into the army; there’s a cleric of kelinahat, she of ebon wings, that will be joining us; a noble duelist, who will be joining up with the army; and a fourth that I didn’t catch. He then teleports back to the army to drop off 3 of them, and returns to the party with the cleric.
Returning to the party, we heal some ability damage, and then move back into the mines. We walk past our previous victories, finding the bodies of the slain (though not as many as there should be, and definitely moved about). Moving back to the bone door, we trigger an alarm and another symbol (this one significantly less damaging). There’s a trapdoor leading up, with orgres awaiting us with burning oil. After Gabro discovers this, Stackor gives us all resistance to fire, and we ascend! We beat up some orcs, and find ourselves in a large cavern. After some exploration, we eventually hear some giantish discussion, and then get ambushed by a giant betentacled horror! The combat is grueling, but we perservere.
We call it here, batter but unbroken in our quest for the ogre king.
