The PCs accepted four orogs, two ettins, and two mind floaters. They also rescued another mind flayer captured by the githyanki.
They’d lost all their NPCs by the time they made it to the portal leading to Stardock. They now have to try and take on the main githyanki force (and their dragons) alone … again. Maybe the third time will be the charm!
(As an aside, I had Halaster give them the quest of wiping out either the githyanki or the mind flayers in order to end their conflict. Although I’ve even hinted that the mind flayers would be no match for the PCs, the players are too scared of them and decided to make a deal and have continually butted their heads against the more organised and lethal githyanki instead.)
