Hurrying up the mountain to [[Vorgaard]]'s home, they found that a group of Emerald Claw soldiers are waiting for them. They offered our intrepid adventurers a choice, give them [[The Dragon's Eye]] and go back, or have their corpses burned in the inferno. Seizing the opportunity, our bard Georgy of the Jangle plucked another bead from his necklace and decimated a fair amount of the soldiers with the ensuing fireball, though not as many as he had hoped. As they finished off the last of the Emerald Claw soldiers, a savage roar erupted from behind them, two ogre mages made their presence known. Caught off guard, the mages managed to place Nexa and Georgy into a magical sleep, leaving Konrad on his own. Fearing for his friend's lives, he made his last stand in the doorway to the estate.

With the estate burning, they quickly searched the doors within the entry hall, claiming some of the treasures that the rooms held. Quickly pressing forward, they're greeted by an old friend, [[Dura ir'Matellan]], the woman who demanded that they give her the Dragon's Eye back in [[Q'barra]]. Wasting no time, Georgy plucked yet another bead from his necklace leaving him with one if this old bard's memory recalls true, and cast it at Dura and the two undead servants with her, killing the undead. Dura, at the same time, threw a black bead up into a huge preserved squid, bringing it to life.<br /> | With the estate burning, they quickly searched the doors within the entry hall, claiming some of the treasures that the rooms held.
