There they were confronted by goblin sentries and the remaining bugbears, plus a strange type of undead-looking creature resembling a flayed human being. Battle was joined, the flayed-things proving to be stout and powerful foes even as the goblins and bugbears died under their swords. Finally, the flayed things fell, but not after dealing wounds to the group. Pressing their advantage of surprise, the party charged down into the next level, finding it to be where the dire wolves were trained and kept. Set upon by the dire wolves, their bugbear trainers, goblin kitchen help and a couple of armored rhodin guards the group had a tough fight ahead of them. Mont separated from the group to deal with two of the wolves and their trainer, but they proved too much for him, and he was driven almost to death under their fangs. Na-Vilarus leapt to save him with a timely bottle of healing potion, and soon the group was back to full strength. Vorz held the stairs while the spellcasters worked havok with the wolves and goblins. Kyran leapt down into melee combat, as did Sellik once he was done with his spells. Meanwhile, a rhodin guard leapt down an open pit to flee, causing a roar of hate and anger from beneath: the wolf lord. Mont, Na-Vilarus, and Vorz jumped down to the next level to confront the lord of the citadel and found themselves looking at almost ten rhodin guards in heavy armor, the gigantic 12-foot-tall man-wolf that was the Wolf-Lord, and his goblin spellcaster. While the battle raged upstairs against the remaining dire wolves, Mont leapt to deal with the spell-caster first; his first series of blows killed the tattooed goblin and then he acrobatically dodged the lumbering guardsmen. Na-Vilarus began to deal with the rhodin, leaving Vorz to fight the Wolf-Lord. Vorz dealt the battle-axe-wielding beast mighty blow after mighty blow but saw the blade barely cut into the monster’s skin. Standing his ground, he then wound up and dealt the monster a truly terrible stroke, severing it’s head in one blow. The Wolf-Lord fallen, the rhodim began to escape as their morale broke. Looking down at the Wolf-Lord’s corpse, Vorz was surprised to see the flesh melt and shift.. and become the body of a giant. The battle in the floor above done, the adventurers rested and began to prepare to harry the ones who fled. Out in the main courtyard, they came under attack from ettins, leading the last of the bugbears. Dealing with the last large force in the watchtower, the party then summoned the dragonne to fulfill their bargain with it. Gifting it with some of the rich treasures the Wolf-Lord had stashed away, they also beseech it to carry a message back to Runestone. It does, and days later a ring of indigo fire appears in the courtyard. Giants begin to walk through, knocking snow from their boots and cloaks. It is over seventy giant infantry from Runestone, along with the caster that brought them. The aged woman rests with the party for the night, then the next morning recreates the portal so they can begin to journey home, leaving the giant warmains to guard and cleanse the citadel. The journey back to Runestone took several hours of timeless walking in an alien landscape, under alien moons. Once the group came under attack by powerful spirit cats, terrible servants of the Dark. One bodyguard has his soul torn from hos form, but the others survived to hours later stumble out into the warm spring weather of Runestone. Fourthmonth 11The party rested, knowing they would be brought before the Queen soon. Easa comes to Mont with interesting news</blockquote>
