The heroes (Aris, Stefan, Mikhail, Moonlight, Jamal, Cedric, Shiek, and Maedhros) guard the gate a bit more, battling and quickly-slaying a 10' tall, 10' diameter monsters full of brains. The beastie manages to paralyze Mikhail, but after volleys of magic missiles from Stefan, Aris, and Maedhros, the thing is a pulped mass...
Meanwhile, on the 12th in Greyhawk, where Daj is penning in her new spell-book, the half-dryad, Saanau, and Helga are attacked in their room in the Green Griffon by three bar llgura who teleport to the attack! The three women slay two and drive the third off (to save it's own life!) and they quickly come to the realization that Iuz, Old Wicked is scrying them. Saanau teleports them up to Fangoria where they ask Mirkquin for her protection. The drow priestess then sequesters the three in her Underdark temple, too deep for scrying or teleportation to pierce.
When the whole party is gathered together again on the 14th, Helga uses a lighten load and with the bags of holding (*vague bombed Cliffy*), Mikhail psionically teleports back to the wall of the Black Ice and seek a way across. After four jumps, the young druid stops to rest, but Saanau, Stefan, and Maedhros use their fly spells so he can travel quite a bit longer. At one point the heroes decided to briefly camp, but first Stefan's attempt to cast Leomund's secure shelter fails and even when Maedhros does get the spell to work, the resulting structure is actually COMPOSED and built of black ice... That's when the ten trolls composed of black ice also attack!
The party battled the beasties and discovered that they were resistant to magic as well as possessed regeneration...though they were less tough than regular trolls.
The group continued on with Mikhail flying. Shortly after the sun set, his last fly spell gave out and while the druid and Saanau were discussing their options, nine wraiths swept out of nowhere and converged on the pair. Mikhail teleported away JUST as the undead reached them...
...and the pair appeared in the Elmshire park of Greyhawk. The party had a fine meal and went to sleep with the three girls in one room and five males in another. Stefan used an alarm spell to keep tabs on events. Which was perfect when the two babau and one bar llgura appeared. It was even better when another babau and two more bar llgura teleported in later during the fight. What the demons did not allow for was just how tough Daj, Helga, and Saanau are in their undies! And when Moonlight arrived and invoked the Staff of Avanrakash so that it appeared that an army of modron arrived...well, the fight was surprisingly one-sided.
Karla the bouncer and Dave arrived, but Saanau gave them 600gp for the (minimal) damages and the heroes finished sleeping through the night.
