Session 21: Back to the North

•  The party prepares for a journey back to the north, into the foothills of the Ironclaw Mountains.
• They buy provisions and other supplies
• They meet up with the Slash Sisters and Lorian and begin walking north along the same road they have travelled before
• The have no encounters the first day and rest in Ilwon, before continuing the journey north to Grogo's Stronghold. They rest in the stronghold, which they cleared out of bandits a week before
• The party travels further north, to the village of Garwon, only a few miles from the foothills
• Debi goes into town and speaks to the villagers, who are simple hunters, who agree to let the party rest in the village that night
• Debi and Mick entertain the people, gaining their goodwill
• They meet a hunter named Rothgar who has seen pylons like those the party seeks on the edge of the Great Canyon
• Rothgar agrees to take them there, if they will kill two ogres who killed his brothers a couple of years before. The party agrees
• The next morning they set off, Rothgar leading the way. They travel into the foothills, so the area Rothgar thinks the ogres live
• Debi starts playing her Elf Pipes, and soon attracts the ogres, who attack. Two of them!
• The ogres are slow. They take damage from all the PCs. Debi casts Dissonant Whispers on one, causing him to run away. The party hits him with missle weapons and spells while the other continues to miss his attacks. The party defeats the two very strong ogres without taking damage - great tactics.
• They find the ogre's lair, a cave. Inside is a little treasure and the skeletons of Rothgar's brothers. They give the brothers a proper burial, and spend the night in the cave.
