Lord Jammin

So the large statue is gone. Red told those orcs to go smash big things and they ruined any chances I had of finding a sneaky place to attack from. Those huge orcs made a racket in their bloodlust, so I hurried back to the group and smacked Snarf on the butt with the piccolo to cast Enhance Ability.  THAT FIGHT WAS SO HARD. All my spell slots are gone above 1st level. But we won! And now there is a drow to interrogate!

Lord Jammin

After a long day battling giants and other creatures in the Yak village, we settled down for the night. I created my wonderful Tiny Hut and the hut was soon filled with the sounds of snoring. 

We wake up in those dark hours before dawn and I was able to get some morning movement in. Gotta keep limber for those performances! 

After sending Hustle’s bat (named “Bruce”) into the mines, we snuck back in. Pechey stopped to look for shiny objects! 

Got to the bottom of the mines, but the carts were stopped. So we had to walk around that big pit with the fire giants. 

Red mentions that it’s unnaturally quiet. We proceed cautiously. Bruce does most of the work. 

Bruce found prisoners! Thanks Bruce. 

Pechey and Lord Jammin go in and try to distract the hobgoblins with a Jimi Hendrix Light Show/Revivalist church show. The hobgoblins hate fun and shot at us! It was a quick scuffle, with Hustle shooting down the last concert-hater when the hobgoblins turned and ran. 

Turns out the dwarves weren’t even caged in! Just held there by the threat of the guards. Red tried to communicate through Snarf to the prisoner orcs, but when I turned around next the orc that he was talking to was charred black... 

Well, we finally talked to the prisoner dwarves. We tell the dwarves to let the King Morinn and Queen Tithmel of Felbar know that A Class Act saved them! We let the dwarves leave, but kept the orcs continue to follow Red. 

Red started checking out the other room with the orcs, where we found those demon dogs kept. Then due to a miscommunication of possibly letting the hellhounds out, I might have over-reacted and cast Calm Emotions, but some of the orcs started to work themselves up into a frenzy.  Red thinks the best way forward is to get the orcs to fight whatever’s in the main room, so... we’re going to try that next!
