[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8028852, member: 6987520"] Our plan failed... [SPOILER] After returning the the Halls of the Fire Giant King, Snurre, we discovered he had been replaced by Boldo, his lieutenant. Using a [I]seeming[/I] spell to appear as drow, we entered and confronted Boldo, informing him the Lolth was displeased with the "lack of progress" and had sent us to replace the drow there. A successful [I]dominate[/I] had Boldo following our orders. He led three of the other fire giants down to the second level to confront the drow. Their battle was short-lived when the drow dispelled the dominate. Boldo was killed for his weakness and the drow ordered a manhunt for our party. We hid in Snurre's private chambers behind two secret doors. Later we emerged and proceeded to the second level, defeating some trolls and gnolls who guarded the passage to below. Once below, we scouted out some passages and defeated ettins, fire giants, hill giants, and one stone giant. The other we allowed to leave once he realized he was outmatched. Defeating the armorer and his troll minions was easy, as our raging barbarian shoved one of the trolls into the molten lava pool! After taking out the guards in the dungeon area, we released the captives and armed them from our portable hole. We found the last remaining gnolls and trolls, using a wand of fireballs to deal major damage in our skirmishes with them. Finally, the last giants were defeated. First the cloud giants (although we offered them terms to leave, one was spoiling for a fight!), who surrendered eventually and left on terms, and then the last survivors of the frost giants from the glacial rifts were cleansed. Although was had discovered three ways to enter the natural caves below the Fire King's Halls, we knew the drow remained. A disintegrate destroyed more than half of the roper-wall that guarded their chambers. We continued to assault the wall, waiting for the drow to emerge. But we were surprised! When the wall collapsed, only one drow remained inside, firing his hand crossbow with deadly poisoned bolts.

A shadow demon phased through the walls and lunged at our barbarian and a yochlol slammed into our retainer, while a plague of biting and stinging insects summoned by the drow priestess assaulted the unfortunate lightning victims. But worst of all, the lone surviving rakshasa returned and while invisible, utilized its plane shift and [I]another[/I] party member, our dragonborn sorcerer/druid, was sent to Hell! Our rogue launched himself after the rakshasa, determined to avenge his comrade. Summoning his fighting spirit, he slashed with sunblade and hand axe, forcing the rakshasa back into the wall. The rogue assassin was merciless. His former fighting days rekindled in his mind, and he surged with energy, his weapons a blur of blood, fur, and flashes of silver and light!
