The PCs nose around after their Short Rest (note Dirty has no Healing Surges left), they discover a a fair bit of incidental treasure- nothing of any great value.They are over the moon with the destruction of the Grey Dwarves fortress- they are a little less pleased to discover that there are two slaves still outstanding... Bugger!This isn't the PCs wanting the adventure to be over down here in the Thunderspire (I canvassed them to check), they just thought they were about to kick the backside of the big bad guy- and that was pretty titanic encounter with Murkelmor.The next stop for the PCs is the return to the Seven Pillared Hall, I figure we don't need another dungeon delve type operation so we play the journey back- after an Extended Rest in the Grimmerzhul as a very minor Skill Challenge- after all they know the route.Stats: PCs connection rate 68.63% versus the bad guys with a lowly 42.86%- that really is low (only 18 hits from 42 attacks). But that doesn't tell the whole story, oh no-Individual connection rates-Winstanley 100% (7 from 7)Kaspard 76.92% (10 from 13)Grey 76.92% (10 from 13)Phrenic 66.67% (8 from 12)Dirty 0% (0 from 6)Oh David!And it wasn't as if the bad guys defences were particularly high- this was one of the few times we didn't record actual dice rolls- but Dirty must have been rolling very low not to hit, he does after all have the second best To Hit roll (after Winstanley). He also has the best weapon- his brand new +2 Flaming Maul.Whisper it but- shhh, 'Dave sucks'.And three of the other PCs did a chunk of damage, a chunk being 100 HP or more-Kaspard 104Winstanley 110Grey 146Personally I think it's about time that Dirty started pulling his weight- obviously I never said that to Dave at the time- I like my life.</blockquote>
