The group arrive at the Dwarven islands and find them a militaristic xenophobic enclave.
They're stripped of some of their more obvious weaponry and shunted into a holding cell for quarantine purposes.
They spend the next three days in quarantine, gossiping with neighbours in cells, like Grullivad the Barbarian, and learning about the Dwarven society. They even get out and do a little bit of assisting with the cooking on the final day

Day 191 to 195 : Flight from Castle Connaught& Sail to the dwarves
The Men of Cuhullin use the morning temple to inform the Elven King they are leaving, and he is suitably unimpressed, and it's not a moment too soon!
Elves are coming in through the trees, and up through the beetle warrens.
Olo and Isabel get up the trees, and the RNV makes its way away. Rather than fly direct to Appolyn, they cut west and head right for the coast to get out of the Elven King's sphere of influence as quickly as possible.
The Elven King attempts to keep them there with a magical storm, but Malik casts Protect Magic and holds it off.
While huddling from the storm, Olo finds that Odo has been trapping the RNV and Boz attempts to de-scramble Odo's brain, with possible success?
In the morning of Day 192, Olo finds a large temple created to ... a different king?
Isabel locates a Skull Stick on shore
The storm returns and the group huddles in the RNV to weather it as Malik fights its way back down.
Once it abates, the group sails straight north to the Rift, then turns Northwest to sail to the dwarven islands.
(OOC moment: there were two elven families coming in: this is what fight you avoided:
One family is proteceting three shapers who have melded with a tree and are using it to shape with.
They are using the air and wind to fight the RNV's departure
The other famlily is using chemical weapons on slingshots to provoke and direct the bugs and spiders. They have come in through the bug warrens.)

Day 187 - 191 explore Castle Connaught
After triggering the big trap and cleaning out all the Keerdah, the Men of Cuhullin explore the Castle.
The next morning they trigger the temple and speak to the Elven King, who unpleasantly demands that they stay until Elves arrive
Day 188 they discover the entrance to the 'beetle' tower . They explore into the tree, and discover a warren of beetle tunnels under it, and that there are Keerdah in those warrens.
Over the next couple of days...
Knowing that they do not want to be here when Elves show up, Boz preps the RNV for departure ASAP. It's still beat up from the fight with the Wight King
Malik finds a series of scrolls in Elven, on History, Husbandry, Cookbooks, Armaments of Clan Connaught.
Olo finds the Noble Temple, separate from the temple for the rest of the castle.
By day 191, it is time to go!

Day 187 Liberation of Castle Connaught
Weapons found: Galen takes the Orb, and goes back to the Elven King at Meath
With Odo on board, Boz's suspicions are aroused... his stalking of Odo is constant and permanent
Castle Connaught is two trees that soar to the top of the forest, with platforms built out of the living tree, and bridges made of boughs that intertwine. They approach with the RNV and try to scout a safe landing point.
The most inviting platforms are TOO inviting, too... easy.... so they settle for landing at the most dangerous looking, and seeming, platfor, but first they incendiary it, and then pull off the tent that covers it, revealing some Keerdah who lurked under it.
They fire the grapeshot rounds into the tent-top and dispatch the Keerdah
Olo and Odo talk while BOz secures the ship and defends their landing zone.
It's discovered that the two trees are hollow, and the heroes descend as Boz guards the top of the hole.
They find the central temple in the middle of a union of the branches between the trees,
The two big vats of water were the last line of defense by the elves, designed to destroy all the keerdah at once, but the builder became a keerdah before she could trigger them. And she is still there and fights back to prevent the Men of Cuhullin from triggering the trap and cleaning out the Keerdah
Sakaala is killed on the branch of the tree
The tree had been trapped by Elves determined to keep the Elven King from taking it, even expending their own lives to keep it safe. The Men of Cuhullin clean it out, except for the base of one tree that is infested with beetles that are predatory and defend their own space quite aggressively.
