As we return to our heroes, they started heading out looking for the hill giants and their leader. Along the way they came across an old, burnt down inn. Outside of it, in a flower patch, was a small goblin frolocking around. Upon approaching a bit more they realized that this was their one time companion Zsz’dax. He told them Titania told him he could take a vacation, and after talking our heroes decided to take him with them again.
They approached a small farming town that seemed oddly quiet, not a single person was seen. They started sneaking through town, as they approached the center they saw the townsfolk gathered around 2 large cloud giants. The townsfolk were telling the giants the history of Secomber and Athalantar. Our heroes talked with the townsfolk and giants. They followed the giants out of town a bit and talked with them. They did tell our heroes that Countess Sansuri could most likely be found in the Evermoors.
Finn talked with the kids and learned they were currently impoverished. Talking with some others he learned that all of the town’s good crops were being given to hobgoblins. The party talked and decided their higher priority was the hill giants and so headed out towards the Dessarin Valley. Along their way, they were greeted by two teenagers on horses, who told them their town had been destroyed by hill giants.
Our heroes went to the town and saw it completely overrun with goblins and a few giants. They quickly went to work. Finn’s magical lightning and Zesh’s animated tokens helped take care of everything, even Seraphina used some new magical lightning arrows. When all was said and done, the townspeople thanked the group, one of them even gave them a ring of protection. Thus the world came to standstill once more.
