Mulebone and Marmaduke stayed in camp. Darian had recovered his strength and his spells. So had most of the party. Alya and Arendel though were still partially fatigued. They reached the Ogre camp with little trouble. It was abandoned. Perhaps two hours start.Calrom and Fiddle soon found the trail. Up, back, around, thru, the Ogres gave a merry chase. The tracks weren't all Ogre markings. A smallish being, perhaps a hin, a couple lighter feet...elves, and a human or similar being traveled with the Ogres. The tracks circled Dagger Falls and led to the Falls themselves.A cave in the side of the hill was the end of the trail. The Ogre had entered here and ... who knew what next. Alya sang a tune and vanished from sight and sound. A couple minutes later he startled Calrom."A pool of water," Alya remarked. "That's all there is in the cave."Fiddle went ahead. The tracks led to the pool. It looked just like the Ogre had taken a dip and not resurfaced. Fiddle tossed his glowing candle into the pool. It floated to the back and bobbed up and down."Yep," Fiddle smiled. "Looks like there is a way ahead. But who wants to find it?"Sully and Arendel assumed different forms. Sully became a nixie. And Arendel a very large trout. They plunged ahead. Sully tossed Fiddle the candle when he reached the back of the cave. Time dragged."Do you think they are okay?" Calrom asked worriedly. "They've been gone a long time."Just then Nixie Sully resurfaced."There is a way," he said. "But it is treacherous. And the current is strong. We almost lost Arendel to the Falls.""Last one in cook's dinner," Fiddle yelled. Fiddle, Alya, and Calrom dove into the water. The Bear also had fun in the water. Darian sank like a stone.  The current carried Fiddle and Calrom along a tunnel for several moments. An then an area above the water hinted at air. Fiddle surfaced. It was on the edge of a cavern. Fiddle swam to the shore. Sully and Arendel were already on the edge. The hin threw his rope and grapnel into the water to fish for Calrom. He caught Alya instead. And then...after a pause Calrom came ashore. The Bear too waded clear. He shook his coat free of water. Still no sign of Darian."I think I've got a bite," Fiddle exclaimed with glee. Something big tried to drag the hin back into the water. Calrom, Arendel, Sully, and Alya grabbed hold. The party heaved. Darian came up sputtering.</blockquote>
