After finishing the battle with the 33 ghouls from before, the heroes (Ichi, Wynd and Thundr, Kyron Drake, Conan, Flint, Dajamira, and Baelaman) were ambushed by a squad of invisible trolls. The monsters savaged Kyron and Thundr, though the Cooshee gave as well as he got and Conan and Flint hacked their way to rescue. The heroes tended their wounds and re-entered the Steading.
In the lower halls, first Conan and then others felt a presence. Then a hammer flew from out of the darkness at Wynd, hurled by an invisible assailant. The elf straffed the area with arrows as most of the rest of his party was strangely complacent. After one magic arrow struck it's mark, a female dwarven voice commanded the group to "kill the elf" and Conan, Daj, and Kyron were only happy to try. Flint blocked Conan and Ichi blocked Kyron, but Daj destroyed one of Wynd's mirror images. The elf leapt away, but the act broke the charm on Daj who blanked the area in faerie fire, revealing a dwarf standing on the ceiling. Wynd unleashed arrows and followed it up with his sword, ending the unlife of Margarent "Peggy" Mountainspire.
The heroes then searched the dungeons, finding six different groups of captives. Among them were a few orc, most of whom were spared. Also in the process, the group found quite a lot of treasure as well as some whimsy wine.
Wynd used a commune to try and located the remaining elves. Evidence pointed to survivors, but the heroes couldn't find them. They did encounter a few orcish escapees and with some bargaining, gained access to the vampiress' lair where they found three more elves they saves, including a moon, a sea, and a dark elf.
Total rescued: 64 human (60+4), 15 elves (14+1), 2 goblins, and 4 orcs
