It has been a long day. We have done more this morning that most adventures get done all day and yet we have just begun. After our discussion with the dragon and the discovery that Mokmurian was actually under the tower we proceeded to the bug door. Given the unholy things guarding the door Takkad should be happy that these abominations have been destroyed.

 Orges and Giants defended the forge. Through careful tactics from Avia and Nolan we were able limit how many were able to attack us at once. Every time I looked it seemed that Trask was tossing a new spell at the Orges and Giants, very impressive but later we discovered that he was running out of spells.

 Once we had dispatched the remaining Giants in the forge Rigal discovered Dwarfs and begun to hyperventilate. The Dwarfs were responding so I soon figured out that she was not hyperventilating but actually speaking there language, or trying too. At that point I lost interest as these are just dwarfs that were being forced to work in the forge. Kane provided them with magic food and we were on our way as Takkad had seen something down the hall.

 Once Trasks wall of fire had expired we proceed down the hallway. We follow in the direction that we believed Takkad spotted the creatures. The sounds of music and scents confirmed that we were likely heading in the correct direction. We proceeded slowly forward until these creatures started talking to us in Thassilonian, something about converting us to Lamashtu. In response I told them that we were here to convert them to Desna.

 Battle had just begun when I felt like something had ripped into my head. Everything went dark, I could not see. Damn creatures had cursed me with blindness so I did the only thing that I could and started swinging my Axe. I felt a good solid hit and then I could hear that the creature had taken a step backwards. I stepping forward and continued to swing my Greataxe at it, once again really good solid contact with the Axe. I soon heard her hit the floor.  There was some commotion somewhere ahead of me before Avia grabbed my arm telling me to follow her. To the next creature we went. I heard solid hits from Nolan and/or Avia and I heard the second creature hit the floor. Once again Avia guided me to the last creature, she was soon dispatched like her sisters.

 Takkad and Kane will have to wait until morning to remove this blindness. It was going to be a long day until Rolo stepped up with prayer beads with the ability to cure the blindness. It is really good to be able to see again.

 We were looking around after the battle when Kane catch our attention. Kane was hearing talking from down the hall. When I went over there I clearly heard two voices talking in draconic. They were talking about their scales and a tattoo, dragons. These had to be very young dragons to fit down here. A plan was formed; we could go down the hallway and talk with these dragons. I was to start out the conversation in draconic and then let Takkad more diplomatically convince them that MM is not worthy of their loyalty. All went to hell at the point where we discovered that they young dragons only knew draconic. I tried to stay calm just like I have seen Takkad do countless times during negations but clearly that does not work for me. In retrospect tossing the head and talking loudly at the young dragons was likely the first clue that I do not have the charm of Takkad. I quickly lost my patience with these obnoxious young dragons and began to bark orders at these younglings. Looks like young dragons are as easily intimidated as young half-orcs. I was able to convince the young dragons that MM was not worth their devotion and that they should leave this place. They seemed more interested in eating the dead we left behind. At that point we had to back track, telling the dragons to leave the dwarfs alone. Since we were already down that way we also told the dwarfs to get out of the complex.

 We made our way back up past location where we found the dragons. Unexpectedly we found Conna; A female giant that was friendly towards our cause. It turns out the Conna and her husband were elders of the MM tribe before he seized power. Conna’s husband had try to talk since into MM and he was killed for it; on this very alter. According to Conna MM had pick up odd ideas and had obtained magic in non-traditional ways. It seems that Giants believe that the elders pick up magic as they become wise. Good thing for Trask, Rarallo, and myself  that this does not ring true for other races. Conna has agreed to help us by making a map of what she knows of the complex. We are going to wait here for her to bring the map and then we will figure out what to do next.
