The heroes decided to spend the night on the backside of the Forge and make their ascent in the morning. Unfortunately, things didn't quite work out that way. Several hours after nightfall, the watch spotted three fire giants patroling the base of the volcano. The heroes awoke and got ready to fight. They expected a terrible, fierce and bloody fight. Amazingly, under cloak of invisibility and with a bit of luck, the heroes Sabuto and Harbinder managed to SLAUGHTER the fire giants after Flint "softened them up" with a frostball.
The next day, the 19th, however, didn't go as well. The heroes reached the base of the Genies' Forge and were confronted by a triad of lava children. The heroes prevailed, but found these minor spirits more taxing than the giants. They Orn slashed open his hand on a sharp section of lava / volcanic glass. Later, nine magmen, minor lava elementals, attacked the group. These monsters nearly slaughtered the whole party. Orn and OohOoh used water to distract them, but most of the fighters were badly wounded in the process. Then a vent of flaming gas burned 1/3 of the group. Finally, just about 2/3 of the distance but half of the travel time, the group was getting ready for an afternoon rest when they were attacked by several small, flaming scorpions. These little monsters proved to be a major threat, nearly killing Sabuto with their blood-boiling venom. Unfortunately, Orn failed to cast cure serious wounds off the party scroll, so the kensai's combat abilities will be limited.
And now the climb gets tough...
