Down the ancient ramp of the old trade entrance and into the cave of Ug!
They are welcomed into the old and broken-down trading hall, and then further invited in to stay byFenPit, a sort of trading liaison. He takes them to stay with SnotWax a powerful and rich goblin who runs a basket-making guild.
They are housed in a guest house, six stories with lovely rooms, just down the side of the stalacmite from the guildhall.
Snotwax invites them in to see all, and asks them to help him with a little job....

Day 208 to 210, into Ug, and past some new Keerdah
They stash the RNV in a hollow, deflating it and banking the elemental. They take the Orb of the Black King with them...
A nearby goblin scout agrees to guide them, after some violence, to the cave of Ug.
Along the way, they are attacked by 10 well organized Keerdah, and the distant sniper. Gronk, hit by an arrow, hallucinates...

Night 206 - 208: The Goblins Attack, and the flight to Ug
Slowing at night, as they leave the sad sir Clifford behind, they fly over a huge forest. A boarding party of goblins attack! Our heroes dispatch them, all but one, Gronk, who reluctantly joins them to monitor them as they travel. from here to the cave of Ug. He also knows the locations of the Goblin Caves...
One moment of note as they travel south to Ug: they are ambushed while hunting by a distant sniper... They are not able to locate it perfectly as it camouflages itself with keerdah. But it has used magical arrows with a crown burned on them

Day 205: Some nice people, and The Death of Skold
They fly over Lord Clifford's Castle, and he welcomes them in.
Skold turns into a Keerdah, finally, and they have to kill him.
Olo makes a new and exciting dish, BAccula Mantecuto, and Boz meets some of Clifford's people. They seem all nuts, in a scary evil, but not black-king-serving, way.
Keerdah begin to congregate from across the land, heading for them, and Olo and BOz get to watch a terrible trial where a man is 'judged' by a Keerdah, and of course is eaten.
In the flight, Olo convinces 4 hobbits to leave Clifford and come with them
A lovely diversion. Shame about Skold...

Day 201 to 204: The deaths of Odo, Malik, and Montacute
Olo finds that Odo serves the Black King, and they debate what to do with this.
Meanwhile, while hunting, Malik triggers a skull-pole.
The Men of Cuhullin resolve to do some killing of Odo, and despite his pleas and begging for mercy, Boz dusts him. This leaves two Foils left: Mladris and one Stirling.
To protect from being found, Malik shape-camouflages the bottom of the RNV
(Did the crazy giant pop in here and say Hi?)
On the 203rd day, disaster strikes. The group finds and explores a magically trapped old King's tower, the tower of King Fainen, and Malik gets cocky and gets killed by the ghost of the King. The remaining men of cuhullin get away with the Crown of Fainen though.
The next day is no less grim, as Montacute, a keltie they met earlier, joins them unexpectedly. It's not long before they suss out that he is a Keerdah lord, one of the knights, and they kill him right quick, and burn the body.

Day 198 - 201 In the Camp of King Tain
Entering a beautiful and exquisite trap, lovingly crafted by the GM over several days, the Men of Cuhullin say fuck it and break through a wall, they follow the track all up to the surface and meet Crisdean Druinnach, A healer for King Tain.
Tain has sacked the Dwarven Island and is interrogating and killing off the prisoners
Isabel returns to and checks on the ship; Skold is gone, but Odo is hiding in the smuggler's hold
Olo finds Reginar Goodsong, Tain's head hobbit. The worsening weather sends a storm.
Boz reclaims their ship, and locates their gear
Malik checks on a surface dwarven temple, but finds it being ransacked
Isabel checks herself over after the fight against the ants yesterday
Olo talks to the HObbits and find them happy... but TERRIFIED of something
That night: Malik finds another dwarven temple and tries to face the King
Isabel finds some heavier clothes, in the style of Thane Kerr
Boz tries to meet with Tain, and fails
Day 199, Olo tries to pitch going to the Hobbit Dam , and Malik tries to link Boz's mind to a Dwarven Priest. He fails and accidentally transfers the mind of the Dwarf to Boz. Boz (now with the mind of Devoid GravelGrog) head into the old Dwarven caverns; Malik hides...
Olo gets to talk to Tain, and is sworn, in a magical sense, that he will find the Dwarven King and report his location to Tain, and gets a magical oath that they can leave with their gear and their ship
Olo rearms, and he and Odo and Isabel go after Boz. They can't find him, so they head back to the ship.. still no Skold.
The next day they retry to find Boz and see him with someo other dwarves at the bottom of a glowing pillar of magical stone, they descend around the pillar and have a huge fight!
At the end of that fight, Boz convinces Devoid, now no longer in his head, to join their cause, they flee back up and out into the light.
Day 200, they find Skold, he has a nasty round impalement wound and is dying. Psychometry reveals that he has been attacked by a scorpion.
They restrain him, then go to track the Scorpion.
Crisdean Druinnach joins them as they search as he is headed to Tain's tent, but when the trail runs out, he goes into Tain's tent and they slink away.
The 201 night is noticeably colder than it should be...
Everyone heads for the dwarven temple at Dawn, and Boz talked to the Dwarven King. He asks the Dwarven King to sacrifice himself to make a new Dwarven King; it's not conclusive.
Day 201... they fly away...

Day 197, Attack at the Dwarven Compound & the Old Dwarven City.
That night, there is an attack from the mainland.
The dwarves collapse the tunnels, sealing in the men of Cuhullin. The group breaks out and makes their way to the kitchen, finding all other ways blocked.
They break through from the modern Dwarven compound into the ancient tunnels of the dwarves far below, and make their way down.
There they face three challenges!
The first is a cavern of ancient homes that seems empty at first, but then begins to flood with angry kobolds, charging towards them! The group beat a retreat to a huge door, and seal it behind them.
The second cave is made of dozens of horizontal platforms stacked on pillars above each other. Olo transforms into a dragon and flies the group over the platforms to the far door where they camp.
The third cave is a network of caves; the walls are made of carved heads of old dwarven heroes. and kings.
They bar the door behind them to keep the kobolds out, using traps and shaping. They thensee that the heads are hollow, and Boz senses that non humanoids live here.
There are houses in here, luxury ones, and they find ants in them! HUGE ANTS
They see a mesa in the middle of the cavern with a crystal temple on it. While trying to access it they are pushed back by ants and take refuge in the head of Bhor Badir, the last dwarven king ....? Malik uses Pscychometry and sees his coronation, his fight at Kallum Kyle, and his fall into the ground
Malik relays this to the others.
Malik and Olo fly to the ant-queen lair, and isabel covers Boz, but the ant queen attacks his mind, and tries to pull him into the collective mind!
Olo uses the temple to reach the dwarven king, but his kingly temper overwhelms him and they almost fight, ending the connection. Olo sees that the dwarven king is held in some kind of collar.
They flee back to the head of Bhor Badir and rest there, while debate happens.
Decision is made, they fly up to the new tunnels, and cut their wayy back in.; It is Day 198
