LEARN ABOUT THE VOLCANO---- 

Day 223 - 228 Spiderton further deteriorates, and then TAIN

Day 223: more investigating!

They begin to see graffiti around SPiderton that hints that something bad is coming, and refers to Calum Kyle, and the Black King!  They figure out that the worship at SPiderton is not effective, because Lord Kellinor is going armed onto the temple

They hatch a plan!  They will build a covered temple through the spider cave to a set of goblin doors they have seen on the far side, and then escape through there to avoid this terrible terrible winter.

Winter is especially terrible

Day 224
Things get worse, the graffiti escalates to actual attacks against them.  Those cultists, who captured Lady Foerster and Lord Kellinor, they are CITIZENS of SPIDERTON! SPOOKY MUSIC.

They kill one, Braxton, and his Savage Scroll.

Day 225
Boz and Gronk tunnels
Earl, keeps guards on shift, even as people begin to sneak away from SPiderton in terror
OLo writes a religious tract (critted the roll)


Day 226, they finally must hunt!
Their hunting is interruped by a Keerdah attack, and they find that Jean Mocquais was turned, and then he was forced to drag Olo's hobbits out into the cold with him, while they fled his ravenous maw.
Upshot? The goblin king has the stone, is hunting the MoC and is allied with teh Black King against them.

Day 226-227, things GET WORSE!!
THey hunt, they build, they temple,
Lord Kellinor ails, SPiderton shrinks.. there are traps, there's graffiti, there's cultists... it's bad
THe tunnel to the Goblin Tunnels continues to proceed!  This could work!
Isabel gets trapped alone and has to fight a gelatinous cube!

Now we come to day 228:
Earl and ISabel meet  Sammy and Taggart, two barbarians who seem frienldly, but suspicious.
they elude them, and sneak back... or do they?

THe tunnel is done, and the group make their way into the goblin tunnels, but they're not goblin tunnels, they're DWARVEN tunnels!!!
They met 5 dwarven scouts, Theboum, Orizzag, Dwarholin, THrahasam, and Yukhunli, who agree to trade for food

But when they get back to SPiderton
THere's the barbarieans!!
Sammy and Taggart appear, and explain that Tain needs the Orb of the Black King.  THey rbuff them and they get two weeks... to think about what they've done. (until day 244)





(Where in this did the person representing the BLack King sue for peace?)

Day 219 - 221 Spiderton gets worse

Isabel checks the cultist area and determines that the guy was a guard
Gronk finds the forge and the armoury
Isaebl talks with Edward about the elven king
Gronk finds out the hobbits are raising cows

KEllinor and Foerster up the security in the tunnels, and interrogate Lady Jax. Foerster discovers that someone has tampered with her memory A SHOCK!!!

That afternoon, the argument and unsettled mood spreads as arguments occur

That night, day 220? (did we lose a day?) the MoC plan their attack on the abandoned tunnel cultist complex.

Evening of 220, they explore, against orders, the cultist area.

They smash their way through a wall, and then gas orbs are dropped on them, Earl manages to catch one.

They flee back away from this.

Day 223: Isabel goes with Darius and they find a letter from Lady Jax where she explains her guilt and she has died!

THen, oH NO, Lady FOerster and Lord Kellinor are captured by the wicked bad cultists!  Who shall rescue them?

The MoC Kick their way through a basement in the abandoned village and drop into the tunnels of the cultists...

The tunnels are filled with shapers who control plants, they battle through there, and into a room where the room floods with water that then freezes to ice!  Then they get through that into a room (Where the water is coming from) and then they pass through there.

They find ANOTHER temple, and a set of barred doors.

They battle some cultists in a maze of plants, and find Lady Foerster and Lord Kellinor. Lady FOerster is relatively unhurt, but Lord Kellinor is in a bad way.

They head back to SPiderton to restore civilization

Day 217 - 218 Spiderton

Spiderton is filled with interesting sites:

The Crystal Chamber of Light, where sunlight is caught and refracted back along the 6 crystal arms of the caves.

The training cave where warriors train, run by Kellinor

The schools cave, run by Foerster

Lady Foerster runs two wings of the building

There are chemical storage areas, run by the hobbits

Medical areas; the short term ones are run by Kellinor, the longterm care is run by Lady Foerster

There is a large beautiful temple where they worship every day, and there is a "garden". Nothing grows there, but it's there.

The MoC descend to the Great Hall, where they meet Sir Kensil, Lord Kellinor's right-hand.  They tell him their story.

That night, Earl reports in with Lord Kellinor, Boz dives into Lore and meets Philip the Loresman, Olo explores the kitchens and meets a couple of dozen hobbits, run by Mother Berthel.
Isabel rests and finds a nice set of boots, and Gronk loses an arm wrestle to Harry! or is it HAIRY?

Kellinor wants to return to the surface and fortify it... that is his dream.

That night they sleep in the great hall, and Olo shares some Good Pipeweed with Reginard, and tells him about the new religion that he's forming.

The next day Boz sees guards setting up, and makes tea. Olo digs a fake temple and real temple, Isaebl and Gronk do weapons maintenance. Earl hears about the optimism for the future.

They have a discussion about what to do next.

Earl gets a magic shield

Boz uses Lum Mechanics on the food production,and Lady Meghan shows him how the light works, and his lum mechanics helps improve the light distribution.

Olo checks on Lady Jax's memory that he wiped

Isabel and Gronk scout

Earl looks for a secret door in the temple he trailed Lady Jax to, and kills a couple of Keerdah on the way back.

That afternoon, Isabel hunts, Gronk finds som clothers and gets to know Earl and Mother Berthel, and Boz tries to find more about crystal, and learns that the red crystal goes boom.

That night, they sit with Kellinor's men.

At night, Earl and Boz go to the old abandoned temple and find the release for the door.

They explore and there is a fight against gas-mask wearing cultists! They fight them and escape

They take this dsutrbing news to Kellinor and Foerster.

Day 217, flight to Spiderton

Jean Mocquais appears and convinces the Men of Cuhullin to give him the digging stone; he promises to return the 4 hobbits to Olo

The MoC flee to spidertown, as OLo builds a sled to pull Earl and Isabel, still wounded from their fight.

As they arrive at Spiderton, whose entrance is in an old collapsed barn, A lady appears who sees Olo as a King, and she gets all weirdly seducey until he transforms back into a hobbit and makes her forget about him. Her name is Lady Jax

Earl tracks \Lady Jax and her trail leads into an old abandoned surface temple and disappears there.

They descend down into the Great Hall of SPiderton and Meet Sir Kensil one of Lord Kellinor's men.

Day 216: The Death of Sir Abernale (and Madris)(And Lady Grenville)...

It is winter, frozen friggin' solid. This is way early.

The landscape is filled with snowy mounds that line the coast, until the Men of Cuhullin realize that they are snow-covered Keerdah who begin to attack. 

They flee through them, and find an army encampment; the camp of Sir Abernale

Boz, miraculously, manages to convince Abernale to engage in one on one combat against Olo: which he does, as they are ringed by Keerdah slavering for blood but held in check by Abernale

Isabel spots and pursues Mladris in the crowd

The fight is massive, and invovles getting ABernale's helm off him before he can be defeated. ALso involves awesome tentacles spurting out of the ground and also attacking Olo (that's more likely Grenville)

Earl spots and follow Lady Grenville, and eventually dispatches her.

Earl brings the Men of Cuhullin to Spiderton...

Day 214 - Day 216 "Our Work Here is Done"

On a spit of land, they're picked up by the basket weavers, then they rest.

They use the secret papers to convince Devoid that the Black King IS the High King, and Devoid takes off.

The Shaper guild come and say "the favour is done, we are in your debt", but Olo asks Snotwax to check on Alicia at the Butchers Guild.


Day 215: They're joined by Boomer, a Basket Weaver Goblin, but Devoid steals him and disappears.

Day 216 They see the Goblin King at temple, and have a brief fight that they blame on Snotwax. The dwarven King is avoided.

Then they go down, after the fight, to get to the Dwarven King, as they find him and begin to talk, Boz spots Devoid and Boomer sneaking in to the Dwarven King at his cell.

A massive melee breaks out, and Boomer lives up to his name and kills the Dwarven King, and grievously wounds the goblin king. The Men of Cuhullin run away out through the escape tunnel and emerge on a snowy shore.

Day 213: To the Island of Skinners

While visiting the Skinners, a few things happen:

1) Cuderd, an urchin, tries to steal Isabel's Insane Wyrm Bow, because it was told to. Bad people kidnapped Curderd's mom and are threatening to hurt her because they didnt' get paid for a job that an Elf hired them to do, so go rob the Elf over there and get us some loot. Isabel gives Cuderd her normal bow to pawn off onto the captors.

2) They learn that whatever was stolen was taken out through the Skinners' tunnels, much to their chagrin.

3) They learn that the theft was done by a group called the "Men of Cuhullin" THANKS BETA TEAM (Who have the Crown of the High King, btw)

4) They go back and get Alicia, and get her to deliver The Eye, then Cuderd's Mom approaches, and explains where to to find SLYKZ, the Goblin who did the job for The Elf.
After a fight, they talk Slykz into letting them go into the escape tunnels; Boz goes under and finds that the escape tunnels go to the surface. When he returns, Slykz attempts to abduct Olo and fails.

It's interesting to note that Mladris (obviously The Elf from Cuhullin who did the thieving) MADE the tunnel of escape as they fled.

Day 210 - 213 : Cave of Ug & the Death of the Baronet of Devon

Olo tries to sneak into Snotwax's house, but gets caught, and instead of being punished, he's welcomed and feted!

He also spends a little time building a temple to the Dwarven King in the guest house.

Isabel scouts, Gronk fishes, Olo rests, Isabel senses some tension...

Day 211:  The next day, Boz & the Dwarven Priest go to temple, and Isabel, through her scouting, learns that there is Sabotage underway somewhere in the cave of Ug.

Snotwax has asked them to intercept a shipment, and Olo susses out that it's a _Someone_ in the shipment, not a _something_.

Boz converts their lended punt into a catamaran, for speed.

Everyone is camouflaged as cargo, and Gronk sits out pretending to fish.  THEN THERE IS A BIG FIGHT.

They open the crate, and see a Keerdah in it!  They nail it back up, and deliver the box to Snotwax. When Snotwax sees it's a Keerdah, he has it killed, and dumped into the sea.

Day 212:  Isabel rests up and heals after the big fight.
Gronk goes actual fishing to keep everyone from starving,
Olo has a great meeting with his hobbits.
Boz heads up into the basket factory.

3 boats come, it's the Fishmongers come for revenge! It seems the Fishmongers are looking for the ... Men of Cuhullin?

And then Boz catches someone sneaking up around them, and captures, for interrogation, a Merovingian.  That's right, not a human at all!  His name is Jean Mocquais, and he's a Merovingian Policeman... he explains that he's here looking for a thief, or investigating a theft...

Isabel sucks up the Goblin Children, but then Devoid finds that someone is trapping their guesthouse, then it's off to an audience with the Shaper's Guild...

It turns out the Shapers will help, but they want Olo to drop off an "Eye" in the Butchers' Guild... an easy job to do....

The night of 212 passes slowly....

Day 213: Olo briefs Alicia, one of the hobbits, and getting her to drop off the eye at the Butchers' Guild.

But there's a trap on the boat! A fight breaks out, and the Baronet of Devon is killed...
