Session 29 Recap

Having killed the Umberhulks, you decided it would be best to return to Cut'mahard for some healing and so Flint could rearm. Ruk was too afraid to come all the way to the city - o you left him in his hole. On arriving at Cut'mahard you headed directly to the Heart of The Mountain where you found King Ugi Granitehand and some of his chosen warriors were marching out on an expedition to try and find Art Killer - their footsteps echoing into the abyss sounded like a heart beat. Flint asked the King for some bronze to make bullets with - and after demonstrating the power of Princess and Queen on a giants helmet  Ugi Granite hand agreed to help. You also taught the giants the ancient art of the "High Five". You made your way back into the city, and Flint headed to the Great Stone Giant Workshop - a huge cathedral to engineering, stonework and metal work. There he was able to set to making some bullets. The rest of you headed into a large area of the city that had been designated as a field hospital. Duala assisted a Stone Giant called Juliat in removing stone shards from a stricken stone giants chest, and in return you were invited to partake of the Stone Giants Potion of Healing. You found you needed to drink loads of it to gain any benefit however. Shadow had a bit of a wander about, but resisted the urge to rob the poorly giants. He did however partake in a spot of state approved scavenging from the dead.

After fully healing up, you headed back into the Underdark where you found Ruk cowering in his hole again. He led you deeper into the Underdark for several miles, before he stopped in fear at an unnatural darkness ahead. You cautiously magically probed this darkness, as Flint recognised this as potential work of the Drow (whom he is racially biased against). As your attempts to pierce the light failed several times - Fluff remembered her Helm of Brilliance, which pierced the darkness and revealed a cloud of stinking gas in it's place. Qelgar was able   to dispel the gas using a strong gust of wind. Beyond the gas was a figure of light - who you completely ignored. And correctly ignored. Beyond the lights were your foes, a group of three Drow. Once you closed with them you dispatched them pretty handily - the noblest of the Drow attempted to escape through some spider webs he created - which Duala immediately counter spelled - and you killed him before he could escape.
