Following the party's encounter at the Eye of the All Father,
they knew they had to get to Maelstrom, and only a giant lord
stands in their way...

Finding the Axe of Thrym and Harshnag touching it to the rue of
Ise, the portal opened. To the surprise of the party, the body
of a cloud giant lay in the circle of 6 lantern-holding giants.
The ghost of Eigeron materialised, explaining how his father had
betrayed him. Likely now near a small village called Parnast.
Eigeron showed the party how to activate the oracle and they
asked 6 questions...

Asmundr asked the oracle 6 questions, I only recorded the
answers and badly at that. But here is what I have written in my
notes for those who may not have been there or don't remember.
Q:Why did the all Father break the ordning?
A:Broke ordning to get his children(the giants) to do things(be
less complacent).
Q:Which order of the ordning is best for the little folk?
A: Hekaton is best for the little folk.
Q:How to find Hekaton?
A:Speak to his youngest daughter Serrissa, She is also in
danger.
Q:?
A:?
Q: why are the Dragons on the move?
A: Because the Giants are on the move.
Q:How to get to Maelstrom(I think this was the question)?
A: Magic conch of the storm giant king will lead us to the
maelstorm and we should root out the evil within his court. And
we need to pick a path of one of the giant kings.
This last questions seems to indicate that each of the giant
lords has a conch from the storm Giant king that will allow them
to travel to the maelstorm, and if we can get it, we can get to
the maelstrom. Thus we need to pick which giant(or i guess all
of them?) to steal/kill/bargain for their magic conch. And at
the time of this post being writing David and I wish to get the
fire giant conch. If you disagree post either on here oR the
skype group so that when the DM is no longer on vacation we can
jump right into it with our decision. So Fire giants unless
someone convinces me otherwise.

-Long time no post-
Since leaving the Eye of the All Father and witnessing
Harshnag's sacrifice for the party against some ancient blue
dragon, the Red Dragon Cultists of Klauth greeted the party with
tidings from Great Snarl. The cultists said they would happily
assist the party in vanquishing the Giant threat - from which
they would all benefit. Klauth has promised to reward the party
personally for their help, once the giant threat is quashed.
After some preparation and scouting, the party selected to go to
Ironslag and face the Fire Giant threat head-on. Obtaining the
Fire Blanket from Edward in Shimmerglade, Asmundr made sure to
relish in his new fine appearance and safety. Meeting for their
final evening at the Monastery of the Yellow Rose, the monks
explained how Ironslag is an ancient forge, that had in recent
times been relit. The fire giants were there - led by Duke
Zalto, the point where the Vonindod, the Great Dragon Slayer
would be assembled.
Diving into the Yakfolk Village covering Ironslag, the party
parlayed with the leader Kartha-Kaya for some information and
trading a few magical items for three moon-elf slaves. Halani
the leader of them, a princess of a nearby Woodland tribe.
Feigning some ignorance regarding the knowledge of the Fire
Giant forge beneath them, it was later clear that the Yakfolk
were complicit with the Fire Giants, a large river wheel turing
a large elevator descending deep deep into the mines.
After an extraction on the airship, Halani revealed that she
overheard some Yakfolk discussing how they planned to overthrow
the King of Citadel Adbar, a nearby dwarven stronghold. Through
what means, it was not very clear. Discussing their carefully
laid plans, the team deep struck via watery sphere into the
mountainside terraced farm, quickly popped some disappearance
dust and grey-oozed their way into the elevator shaft room.
Preferring stealth, the party took the path through the mines.
Defeating some Salamander taskmasters and freeing 14 slaves, the
party continued down until they encountered the complex proper.
Killing off some more task masters, riding a bucket chain
through the main hall, glimpsing the massive titan of the
Vonindod, 1v1ing a Fire Giant, gaining some orc allies,
defeating enemies near the wheel of woe, saving some slaves,
charging out against the giants, retreating, charging again, and
encountering Duke Zalto in discussion with some drow, the party
was eventually captured.
Before being captured, Asmundr appealed to The Collector, who
was on a mission of his own in the City of Brass, on the
Elemental Plane of Fire. Duke Zalto and the drow discussed some
interesting points, how he was now the true ruler of Gauntlgrymm
and unleashed Maegera the Dawn Titan in a crucible into the
center of the room. This, he claimed, would complete his mission
of securing the blessings of Anam the All Father by claiming the
top spot of the giant ordning.
Unlocking the cage door and the collector appearing before them,
the party turned invisible, grabbed the Forge Stone Edward had
requested, grabbed their gear and teleported back to the
Monastery of the Yellow Rose. All the while The Collector
mentioned how the Fire Giants operation had been severed
hindered, and the Vonindod would take many weeks to complete. He
saw some Fire Giants and goblins leave the complex - perhaps
looking for new slaves to continue their work and rebuild.
Inside the Monastery, the party rested as The Collector said
goodbye, before promising that he would invoice The FSC soon.
Being reunited with Peppercorn and no longer covered in blood
and only somewhat battered, the party spent some time recovering
on the airship while flying to Shimmerglade.
In Shimmerglade, the party purchased some potions and met with
Edward and Alphonse once again. Edward, impressed with the Forge
Stone promised to make a magic item for the party - his
specialty being mechanics and weapons.
Deciding to head-off to Lyrabar next and meet with the Queen as
well as hopefully some Cloud Giants, the party passed through
the series of portals, arriving in what appeared to be a walled
cemetery inside a raised crypt. The topmost level of the crypt
has a stone sarcophagus watched over by a shield guardian. The
name MYRNA is inscribed above the entrance. On the floor below
is a small room which is magically lit and occupied by a small
girl who identifies herself as Thestryl Melladrin, a Harper
wizard.
Heading back to the palace, the party arrives outside, shows
their letter obtained by the Queen several months ago and is
shown at once to the throne room. Queen Oswynn greets the party:
"Ahhh the Fallen Star Company, it is truly a good sight. I am
relieved to know you still fight for the people of Impiltur. The
Lord's Alliance has been suffering dire losses at cities around
the nation as well as our allies nearby. Some members of the
Emerald Enclave have made a move in the West to counter some of
the Stone Giant's aggression. While our friends to the North
East along the rivers have stopped communications all-together.
We fear for the worst..." she finishes as she looks out the
window, up at the floating Cloud Giant city casting a shadow
down upon the palace.
"Have you located Harshnag? Or do you have other news?"

Clunk gestures at the queen "Met him and he aided us in our
quest, then we were separated by blue dragon. He" Clunk pauses
looking slightly down "distracted it to let us continue on."
Clunk looks over at Asmundr then back at the Queen "The Giant
orderning has broken and the giants are fighting for rank. We
are now going to reach out to King Hexaton to resolve this
situation, Even tho we hear he is missing."

Daniel removes his hat in the presence of the queen, and makes
sure his shirt is tucked in and his neckerchief is straight.
"We also had a run in with the leader of the Fire Giants, the
despicable Duke Zalto. We snuck into his base, Ironslag, and
disrupted his operations, but had to flee for our lives. We
nicked ourselves a lead to King Hekaton's whereabouts, though,
and we were hoping that maybe your scholars or the cloud giants
could shed some light on the Maelstrom."

The party spent most of their days asking questions. The Queen
and her Archivist divulged some information about the Storm
Giants as well as some of the historical dragons of the region.
The party also spoke with Griffith, an old sailor, known for him
and his Ship the Black Dog meeting with the Queen of the Storm
Giants, Queen Neri years back during a chance meeting. They
exchanged pleasantries and she gave all of the sailors beautiful
shell necklaces. All sailor have heard legends of the Queen of
the Depths, and meeting her is seen as a sign of good luck.
The party also spent some time in the Inn, talking to some brave
Order of the Gauntlet folk, fighting up north east against frost
giants. Members of the Emerald Enclave were being sent out west
to deal with rampaging stone giants, and members of the
Zhentarim were unhappy with the exchange between Durango Daniel
and their group.
Climbing to the top of the castle tower with some signal flags,
the party met with the Cloud Giants Kiflith and Ardius Higsag
the next morning outside the city in an abandoned farmstead. The
Cloud giants wore dramatic smiling masks and spoke common,
discussing how the small folk would be able to at least breath
down in Maelstrom, as the other lesser giants could too. They
too had heard of Hekaton going missing, and how his youngest
daughter Serissa held the throne.
The clan of Higsag worried little about "Duke" Zalto, as they
saw him as little threat, especially considering they were not
taking part in the Civil War. Though the richest Cloud Giant
family in the region, Countess Sansuri could not be the same.
She had recently captured a dragon of unknown type and planned
to hold a celebration of his new seizing of power.
Having spent a long time asking questions, the party decided
they were nearly ready to head to Maelstrom and get to the
bottom of the situation.

Clunk is going to look to buy some potions of healing (any
size), some potions of giant strength(hopefully storm), some
potions of speed, some potions of growth, and some potions of
heroism.
