The Misfits dispatched the Thugs and hear the approach of another party. They passed forward and observed a meeting between the Zhentatrim and a Fire Giant and his cadre. They mentioned a deal where the Zhent’s would help the fire Giants get the Vonindod Fragments in their attempt to get the adamintine colossus up and working. Vael sent a message to the bugbears mentioning a possibl betrayal. the fire giant Gundahella got wind of this and after making the deal w/ the Zhents to release one of it’s prisoners she left off angry and not very convinced of their conviction to help them.
The Misfits continued forward on the road and found their way to Zymorven’s Hall where Vael entertained the crowd and publicly was enjoyed by a rather old crone looking for a quick one.
Tonk met a fellow follower of Olidammara and they bartered for a couple of healing potions.
Vael noticed the castle was well decorated and determined the decorations were animated, hence the lack of guards in the castle.
The party rested there before heading to Old stone.
When they made it to Old Stone the following day the find a mound with a 15 ton stone on it. Vael investigated the stone and determined it’s properties and found a way to shrink the stone. As he was studying the stone, two Cultist followers of DODKONG erupted from the ground mounted on Buellete’s challenging the party to stop what they’re doing and after seeing the stone shrink the Cultist attacked.
As the party was distracted by the buellete’s and cultists they didn’t see the two Formorians coming toward them on each side. It was at this time Vael slipped the stone into Lurker’s bag, Both Lurker and the attackers did not see it happen. The fomorians quickly attacked Vael believing he was the one with the stone.
Vael did his best to hold his own until he took a mighty blow to the ribs breaking most. He fell to his knees and fired back a hellish rebuke “Harder Senpai”to which the Fomorian obliged him. His body exploded. As his torso flew through the air Lurker spotted a black raven fly toward the torso grabbed it and flew off again.
Dispatching one of the foes the fomorians attacked the rest of the party. Hank stepped out of the party and created darkness around one of the fomorians. Tonk followed it up with a spell. The Fomorian heard the spell and attacked her rendering her unconscious. Hank saw a black raven land on Tonk after she fell.
At this time Lurker finished off one giant and both he and Hank took off away from the giant and began their attacks from afar. The Giant, hearing the two heroes, made his way over toward them.
Lurker transformed into an elk and bolted toward Tonk. Hank made a mad dash toward her too. They put her onto Lurker’s back and made a dash toward the cart. Hank began running toward the cart with the giant in hot pursuit.
As Lurker made it to the cart he notice it’s turned the opposite direction as they came in. He also noticed five Druids from his clan.
