“Dragon!” The Barbarian quailed, he had never faced a dragon but knew the legends and did not relish meeting one in the company of giants “it is a good thing we return to Faldurr and can better prepare for a dragon - Faramaug? And what were those other names? Arlalacky? and Snure? Does anyone recognise them?
there is more here than meets the eye” Kahru wasnt the sharpest when it came to solving puzzles, but he was observant and could see peices, the sword Waythe had already told them there was powerful magic and sky giants involved - but what did it all mean?

Cromby whistled softly at the sight of the Chief's head, "Well blow me down. That oughter do it! Siersha here will lead you back to the Cairn, an' much revelry to be sure! His lordship will be pleased. I will stay on look-out an' see how the giants take it."
Siersha mounted her horse Ionn, and led the group along a different trail from the one that they had taken from the cairn to the steading. She rode slowly, but it was not an easy thing to follower her, in spite of her assurances that this was "an easier route in the dark, if a little longer."
Doc, who was flying ahead, found after ten minutes or so, that each hill looked much the same to him as the others. When he backtracked, he found no sign of his companions. It was only when he found the spirit of a drowned man floating over a murky pond that he was able to ask for directions. The spirit pointed him northward, which was not quite where he had expected the others to be, but he found them eventually.
When they arrived at the Culligan's Cairn just over an hour later, it appeared deserted, but soon they were confronted by two guards who stepped out from behind a rock. Siersha wished she could stay, but trusting that they would make a full report, she bid them goodnight and rode off into the darkness, to keep Cromby company while he watched the steading.
They were led into the cairn and Lord Falldur rushed to meet them. Though it was very late, the Lord appeared to have had no sleep. He greeted them excitedly saying, "I am glad to see you have returned safely! I trust your bring me favorable news?"

Gimlak summarizes the days's events. He adds laconically "We need to go back tomorrow to free those enslaved by the giants "
The Colonel saves his last casting of Levitation so that young Donnell can bring in the Giant's head like a grotesque kite. He clicks his heels, and stands at parade rest when he delivers his report. (In his mind, Lord Falldur is not his commanding officer, and he owes him no more than this.)
Following Gimlak's initial report, describing the successes they had at the Steading, the Colonel stresses the need to return immediately, supporting Gimlak's summary.
"We know there are prisoners, and more giants, beneath the fortress. In addition, we have evidence that the hill giants had allies -- possibly ones more powerful for themselves. While the success, capped by Donnell's slaying of the Chief, is sifgnificant, the job is not yet done. We mean to return once we have been resupplied. Sir."

Kahru watched to see how Falldur reacted to the presentation of the giants head, a large and gruesome trophy likely to stir things up back at the Giants Steading.
As they settled he checked the condition of both Waythe and his Staff of the Wooded Grove, cleaning and buffing as needed. Then he asked the staff to grant him some Good berries, offering a peice of the juicy fruit to each of his companions.
After Gimlak and the Colonel gave their summary the Barbarian zealot made sure to inform Lord Falldur that there was a Cloud giant in league with the hill giants but he had escaped, also that a dragon was hidden beneath the Steading so any boon that could be provided against dragons would be welcome.
“The dead king also gave the names Snure and Arlacky” Kahru reported to the local Lord “have you heard those names before?”

The Colonel listens to Kahru, and hopes his face doesn't blanch too much at the mention of the names, which he had made a point of omitting from his official report. Good fighter; needs discipline, the Colonel thinks.
