The heroes (River, Rhom StrongArm, Cliffy, Sul Absil the minotaur, and Bianca) heal up their wounds and prepare to continue on their quest to slay the queen of the cloud giants. The group approaches Rhanee StrongArm, High-Priestess of Bahamut in Dragondale, the Brown Witch, Rhom's younger sister for healing support and she agrees, but brings along not just her familiar, Emrys, but also Zauloman the copper dragon, Rhanee's apprentice, Serena, and her squirrel familiar, Durwood, as well as Rhanee's two young targs, Metrion and Xinthos. The heroes talk and Rhom and Cliffy (after a comment from Bianca) visit the storm giants, Nimbus and Cerulea, who tell the heroes the location and some details of the cloud giant queen's sky-castle. The heroes briefly visit Greyhawk for magical supplies. The heroes then make for the Sulhut mountains and locate the peak above-which the cloud giant queen's domain floats.
With the rest of the party within Cliffy's magical house, the elven mage touches Rhom and teleports twice up the mountain to the very limit of visibility on the cloud-wreathed peaks. Estimating about another 1000 feet to climb, the elf enters the house and gathers the rest of the party. As Cliffy and River emerge, Rhom is nearly surprised by a fog giant hurling boulders. The strength of these giants make them particularly dangerous and although Rhom trades missile fire using his hammer of lightning bolts, soon the warsmith is outnumbered five to one! Cliffy slows three of the five as Rhom slowly whittles down the first fog giant. River's arrows lend support, but after a volley of boulders, the half-elf is forced to flee back into Cliffy's house for healing. Sul emerges and charges, but is struck down. Rhanee joins the melee and unleashes fiery dragon breath which does little damage, but which gets the giants' attention. The witch nearly dies under a hail of boulders. Meanwhile, Cliffy's fireballs fair better and the elf manages to seriously wound several giants as well as destroy their weapons. Bianca and Serena heal first River and then Rhom, allowing the two to continue the fight and ultmately defeat all of the giants. During the battle, Cliffy uses his wand of wonder and can no longer preceive one of the five, but the rest of the heroes save him.
Seriously wounded, the heroes agree to loot the dead fog giants bodies, hide Cliffy's cube and enter it, and there heal up and nap...
Afterwards, everyone is back to full health except Cliffy who is at 72 of 75, but protected by a stoneskin, the spell also on Serena and Rhanee.
Eeps were 5000 xps each (Serena hardly burned any!)
