The heroes (Ichi, Shang-Lung, klornap, Corona with Frost and Deadlock, Shayana, and Zylvanar with Nikaris) decide to take a nap during the late morning and early afternoon in Bloodstone, since most of the party spent much of the night running terrified from the demons' fear effects. In the late afternoon, the group set out to find the dwarven refugees in Bloodstone Valley, though with the heavy cloud cover visibility was limited. Despite a large amount of snow on the ground, the group could find no tracks of the dwarves. Just before sunset, Ichi hopped on his magical broom, however, and quickly located a small camp carved out of a few, small, sandstone cliffs but well-defended from above. The Master of the East Wind returned to the party; the plan was to seek out the dwarves in the morning.
In the middle of the night, Deadlock awoke the party twice. The first time was when the grizzly bear went over and "cuddled" Klornap while he was sleeping, the Wee Jasian SCREAMING awake when he realized what happened. The second time was when Deadlock caught the scent of a pack of dire wolves and warned his mistress, Corona. Corona and Zylvanar went out to greet these new wolves, with their own animal companions in tow and Ichi and Shang hanging even farther back. Corona was able to easily convince this pack to leave the Valley. It would seem that there are only two dire wolf packs left.
In the morning, the heroes set out to meet the dwarves. Zylvanar elected to stay behind as drow tend to provoke an "extreme" reaction from dwarves. Corona and the animals stayed with the young dark elf. The party met with Chief Tokan of Clan Orothiar who agreed to move into the human settlement and exchange dwarven labor for food. Unfortunately, more than a quarter of the dwarves have fallen prey to a strange disease. Shang-Lung identified it as a non-natural one and Shayana was able to cure it easily enough. The heroes explained to the dwarves about the two druids. Corona healed three of the dwarves before they made the journey and Shang-Lung itemized three more. The two of the four remaining sick dwarves were cured in town by Zylvanar, though the rest of the party intervened to defend the drow. Zyl offered to let himself be charmed and the chief's son, Tamal, a minor cleric of Dugmaren Brightmantle, cast the spell. Satisfied with the young drow's answers, the dwarves tolerate his presence. Even better, the heroes befriended the red-headed warsmith, Bruenor, a former adventuring companion of Glenn.
The next morning, Gamoth arrived with the centaurs. He cured the remaining dwarves, returned the weather to normal, and took Glenn away, but before he did, he also offered the heroes support from the Eastern Circle. Cainna NihFalen will check in with Bloodstone every few days to offer healing and support. She will also help get both the region's plants and animals "back on track". Gamoth did a commune with nature to reveal that only one demon remained within the valley, though there are many more in the mines. The mines also have quite a number of trolls, ogres, giants, and the like, as well as many undead and creatures from the Underdark.
The heroes headed northward up the valley toward the mines. En route, they were ambushed by a polar worm caught in the sudden thaw. The remorahaz only managed to hurt Deadlock before being soundly trashed by the collective force of the party.
