The city of Xin-Shalast.

Dalgång stad Xin-Shalast

Avsats bredvid vägen 50' high

four super giants, storm giants and a rune giant

Honey cast a cherub wings spell on all of us and before I could stop her she made us all fly up to the giants

I threw dagger into three of the four storm giants I could see but missed the runegiant They hardly noticed I hid among boulders further in

Velicia telpade and burst, then again

Giant thundered but I was further away from it. Another did catching me, but then Pelor protected us. Third whirled sword around and hit me. Ouch!

I oath hit runegiant hard hard hard and velicia followed up felling it. Honeypot persuaded the storm giants not to fight and Nath killed runegiant to make a point

"Fear the Harridans" and flew away from town

I remembered that at Jorgenfist the giants wanted to go home

Looking into the valley of Xin-Shalast

Things coming from right into the town

lichen covered glacier

the city glitters of gold

a big camp with giants in open space not far from where we came in to town

Nathaniel look through his monocular He saw hippodrome far far away

Hippo? hippopotamus? what's that?

look closer at the giants camp

hundreds of giants

rune giants keep the stone giants in line

very few rune giants

Honey & I sneaked closer

H stood next to sleeping stone giant and used the ring I told her to get

She changed her appearance to that of the sleeping stone giant

Streetwise: Stone giants liked to build things but didn't like the harridans

There was an organized resistance but it was very low key

Patrolling groups usually rune giant + five storm giants or Harridan, twenty lamias and several vrocks that looked like some kind of harpy

Nathaniel found out about an underground city

Eyukak was resistance leader

Old civ but not as old as oldest tassalonian

some kind of monk giants from the other side of the mountains

They wanted a big distraction so they could leave

Told us about the city

A big round dome building - Yeti abominable snowmen lead by Vorgor

The tangle Further away the lichen covered glacier was a fungus jungle - Very dangerous Rotting heaps of compost

The arena - heptagonal building with a big seven pointed star A devil keeps court

Vomax Circus (the hippodrome) next to the arena

Then crematoriums in the undertaker part of town

Last part of golden road called temple row. Several temples along the road where bad gods were worshiped Mostly lamias there.

In big brown temple worship lamashtu

Blue dragon live cave in mountain side above temples

There was also a keep where giants who are warrior and not workers live

Legends of Turengate. He wrote a book that if you read it you become the worlds best general as he was

Harridans create rune giants from fire giants.

We sensed that Eyukak wasn't a stone giant. Honey changed back to satyr and suggested that he took his true form too.

He changed to a Oni. It was some kind of ogre mage.

He told us about the occlusion field around the high part outside town where Karzoug lives

Need amulet to get in but if you do every guard know everything about you.

We thank the giant and return to ruins.

There a strange man met Nathaniel and wanted him to follow

It was a skulk. a race living underground

he told of a prophecy telling of our coming to save the people

his people had been enslaved but Mesmina led them to freedom

The hidden beast preyed on them and new saviors would come

The victims of the hidden beast became vampire like
