Much improved but that had little to do with the actual adventure I think and more with the DM. We finished freeing a ghost who had been bound by skullmad and he led us along a river and up a waterfall to the throne room. Using the warlock as an emissary (while I got into position) My fighter challenged skullmad to single combat for leadership of the Trolls. He accepted and we dueled, my flaming sword ensuring he could not heal his grevious wounds. He pummelled me pretty savagely and if I wasn't MC warlord I probably would have lost (I spent 6 surges plus had the level 2 regen utility going most of the fight). In the end he opened a portal and turned to flee after knocking me prone. Somehow from my back I was able to strike him (thanks wisdom bonus/combat superiority) and cut him down as he turned to flee in cowardice. The Jewel in his eye flared, his body crumbled to ash (the jewel folding in on itself) and he screamed something along the lines of "Fools what have you done, the old king will........"  So as new king I dusted myself off and issued an order to have the assault on Moonstair recinded and the warlock and some trolls went off to make it so, along with some orders from an "officer". The drow in the throne room explained someof what was going on and how there are forces being marshalled on the otherside of the portal (presumably by this old king was how I infered it) which is still open. I asked the drow to establish a supply line and to bring it supplies to the trollhaunt; we plan to make it an actually community, and try and integrate the trolls into the surroundings. Meanwhile the warlock met a worg commander who wasn't interested in what he had to say, but was able to take him and his puppies down with the help of the troll flunkies. We all agreed it was the best session of the adventure by far. Although we've clearly taken it way off the train tracks. But at least we're all excited to play it again now.</blockquote>
