Perhaps this is truly my chance at vengeance. Nodding with his decision the giant speaks up, “Perhaps we can have an arrangement. A drow wizard of sorts was the one who helped Gungir ensnare me. He may be trouble. If you can somehow get my father to enter my cell I will defeat him unless he flees the cell. I expect you to finish him if he does not allow me to. For that I will give you much information about Gungir’s future plans for the area as well as where he keeps several secret stashes from his frost giant followers.”   An idea forming, the dark elf grins, “We’ve encountered this elf you speak of. He was formidable, but I doubt he’ll be back to bother us today. Perhaps I can use my magical hat to take the form of the drow and try to goad him into the cell.”   “I’ve got a better idea” counters the mulhorandi, “I can retrieve an illusion spell from the spellpool of my order and use it to make it appear as if The Nameless Thing has somehow escaped his cell. Vez, you can use the form of his drow cohort to tell him you’ve sensed the disturbance and that he must chase the illusion back to the cell. Once that is completed, we’ll just hope things go our way.”   Concentrating and appearing as if he is somewhere other than the corridor, the mage nods and with a smile continues, “Ok. I have found a spell that will make minor visual, movement, and sounds enough that I believe I can duplicate our new found friend here’s form. The rest of you can hide in the trophy room and take him from behind in case we encounter difficulty.”   The rest of the group liking the idea, move to their designated positions preparing for an interesting predicament. Vez makes his best attempt to mold his form into the likes of the drow who almost an hour ago had nearly taken his life. Satisfied, and with a thumbs up and wink from the necromancer, the dark elf is satisfied with his appearance.   Making his way back towards the throne room where they had slain the hydra, Vez hears what appears to be someone making a bad attempt at being sneaky. Spotting Harashk, the ogre he had sparred earlier, Vez decides its time to put on a show. Hoping the ogre informed Gungir, he waves the ogres way and shouts, “Quick! Bring Gungir, his son has escaped and is wreaking havoc!”___________________________________________________________________   The ogre, not completely fooled, readies his greatclub and charges the imposter drow. Making his way down the hallway, he recognizes the drow as the same one who he’s seen Gungir dealing with in secret usually while most of the other Frost Giants were out hunting. Having gained only enough respect to join such missions occasionally the ogre had been able to catch Gungir in his “negotiations” with the dark elf wizard.   Slowing his charge, the ogre speaks, “Who are you and how did you get in?”   The drow, yelling and gesticulating greatly points down the hallway shouting, “That’s not of consequence now! We must re-capture that dragon creature! Where is Gungir”?   Stopping as both the ogre and the disguised dark elf feel the movement of some large silent creature pass by them, Harashk realizes that that must be Gungir making his way towards his son who can be seen at the end of the hallway. The Jarl had cast invisibility and silence spells upon himself in an attempt to help surprise the interlopers and finish them off now that they were secure inside the great hall.   Lowering his weapon and realizing that this might be his opportunity to show his worth, the ogre dismisses the drow with a wave of his hand and also begins racing down the dark hallway. A few seconds pass and a large grin forms upon the imposters lips. “And so it begins” the dark elf proclaims as he slowly makes his way towards what he’s sure to soon be an ensuing battle.</blockquote>
