Nell tippsar Honey om Face stealing ring Hon gör sån Jag skaffar ring och uppgraderar rustningen

Using her new face stealing ring Honeypot, standing next to one of the defeated rune-giants, assumed both it's appearance and size. Honeypot cast the telepathy ritual and Velicia remarked that it wouldn't work through the portal. Honeypot replyed that it didn't matter as it worked from her wood all the way to the Storval mountains. We gathered around the portal and with help from weired fey creatures Velicia opened the gate. Just before it opened we all retreated to be out of site as the Honeypot-giant stepped through. She told us she was met by six giants on the other end, and they spoke a lot. After a while, just before the portal was about to close we all hurried through. No fighting they told me. I had no idea what they talked about, but from the short translations Nathaniel gave apparently Velicia lied overwhelmingly. They said something about us not killing good giants. I thought that I regretted killing giants with the sihedron rune as I knew that somehow gave that runeguy Karzohg power and I really didn't want that, but I didn't do so well in that regard back in Sandpoint. Anyway they talked something about a library too. Not that I care about those, unless of course, they want to buy a copy of my diary. They also talked about Mokmurian having a pact with some strange creature that Velicia called a stone golem and then described into boring details. I told them to tell Conna, as the female leader of the stone giants was called, that she needed to get rid of those tattooed stars or that their souls would be lost when they die.

At last the others stopped talking gibberish to the giants and we could continue. We went down the corridor we had gone the day before. There was still the strange effect making everything seem very far away. I went a little ahead and peeked into the room with the cauldron. There I saw something that looked just like the golem Velicia had described earlier. I told the others and we stormed out into the room and attacked it. Suddenly I got a bad feeling and noted something stirring in the wall behind me. I reacted immediately and threw my dagger straight into the enormous thing emerging. It was a lot bigger than a giant and looked strange in an unnatural way. It reminded me more of the machines I'd seen than any living creature. The dagger was aimed at what would have been the throat of a living being and struck the thing very deep in a joint, leaving a leaking gap. As it returned to my hand I threw it again, hitting it again, and retreated to behind Nathaniel. It was clearly very damaged by my dagger and disappeared back into the wall. Nathaniel quickly dispatched of the golem and Velicia went up to the wall to listen after the big thing, as did Nathaniel. Hesitantly I joined them and could rather feel it, than actually hear it, moving deep into the rock.

I told everybody we had to hurry as someone could have heard the fight. We reached another room with a large corridor and a smaller one to the right of the other. I decided that we should continue along the big one. It led into another corridor that was even bigger and had rounded corners. There were several doors in it. Velicia headed for a pair of brass double doors with reflective silver inlay and a sihedron rune, like the door keeping the demon in at Thistletop. Velicia looked at door for ages. I went back along the corridor to another set of double doors, made out of stone. They were very heavy. Nathaniel arrived and said "Those look heavy. Do you need any help?" Together we opened them only to find another set just inside. I wrote "Nell was here!" with my purple eternal chalk, and then closed the outer doors and continued down the corridor. I said I was keeping to the right as Nathaniel had told us to, not counting the small corridors I ignored earlier and some shut doors, but otherwise we had kept following the right. Nathaniel is very good at dungeneering.

Finally Velicia gave up on the double doors and we could silently slip into next room. It had no sharp angles only rounded corners. The wall to the left had scorch marks all over. I was about to ask the others if we should use the ritual protecting from fire as we were attacked. IT was ugly dog like creatures that appeared from nowhere and attacked. As soon as they had bit us they disappeared again. After some fighting we killed them, but their bodies still disappeared. Velicia said that they were Hounds of Tindalos and that they hadn't been killed, but just driven away.

After a short rest we continued on through a set of double doors. Inside we had a glimpse of a big room with pillars and a balcony in the far end before a magical fog filled our view. It was awful and I didn't want to go into it when Honeypot suddenly rushed us all into it. It didn't hurt, but was very hard to move in and I couldn't see a thing. Luckily I have a good memory and with the help of my magical shoes I quickly got out of it and somersaulting over the floor I threw my dagger deep into the smallish giant standing up on the balcony. The rune covered giant staggered from the deep wound and I continued up to the base of the stairs leading up to the balcony and hid.

Han går fram till kanten och anfaller mig. Jag kommer inte åt honom långt upp för trappen och dessutom trycker han bort mig in i molnet tack och lov kastas han ned för trapporna av Velicia och vidare bort till miog av Honeypot så jag kan stabba honom hårt där han ligger så Nathaniel kan sänka honom. Velicia tar hans hammare. Jag ser till att han verkligen är död.

Vi kollar runt i rummet. Det finns lite böcker, knivar, ljus och en kista. Jag öppnar den och hittar

Mokmurian reser sig och när jag drar dolken så börjar han tala. Han säger att vi hjälper honom genom att döda hans följeslagare med runan. Han nämner både sitt namn Karzoug och Xin-Shalast som är något ställe.

Jag klottrar "Mokmurian is dead" och "sjustjärniga tatueringar stjäl er själ" på väggen på giantish med hjälp av Nathaniel. Velicia dillar om att man inte får klottra på de sybolerna som fanns på väggen fast vem bryr sig. Hon försöker påstå att de blir mindre värda. Som om jag skulle gå på hennes billiga trick för att jag inte skulle klottra. Ha! Hon får lära sig att bluffa från gatans mästare.

Vi kommer fram till att biblioteket är bakom dörrarna i metall.

Velicia säger att de är skyddade med magi och att vi ska dyrka det mekaniska låset.

Hon mage handar en knock, men istället för att få upp dörren får hon fram ett ljusmonster.

Child of light bländar mig och jag kan inte gömma mig. Min shadow armor hjälper inte. De andra slår ned den och jag låser upp dörren. Då hoppar en ny fram men vi smiter in i rummet innanför och Nathaniel stänger dörren efter oss. Där inne finns ett stort runt rum. Det har mysiga läderfotöljer och snygga ekbord. Sedan är det massa tråkiga böcker och det kommer fram en konstig typ. Clockwork librarian som pratar konstigt språk som de andra talar igen.

De börjar blaja med den så jag börjar springa runt och leka med den konstiga avståndseffekten. Det känns som om jag springer hur fort som heldt. Jätteroligt. Ibland tar det tokstopp och ibland hamnar man någon annan stans än man trodde. Fast efter ett tag blir det med tråkigt och när de andra börjar träka med böcker sätter jag mig och äter. Dukar upp massor. bla, bla bla...

Efter ätit allt så torkar jag av flottet på bordet med armen. Det hjälper inte. Tråkigt igen. Klättrar på väggarna! Honey och Velicia säger att de vill stanna i flera veckor för att maskinen inte låter dem ta ut böckerna. Nathaniel och Nell ska gå ut. Då får han Velicia till att göra mobiler... Dvärgstenar? Då ska vi tala om för jättarna att vi dödat Mokmurian och att armén ska upplösas så alla kan gå hem. Alla följer med. Velicia har hittat bok om dörren och fått tag på lössenord. Vi möter Conna och berättar att armén ska upplösas och att de måste lära sig ritualen för att ta bort runan. Men först ska vi slå hjäl Lamiorna. Jag som ledare för partyt blir ledare för alla jättarna när vi ska slå ihjäl Lamiorna. Det visar sig att de har dominerat magiskt två blåa drakar att slåss för dem, men Honey bryter snabbt den och de vänder sig mot sina former masters. De dör kvickt. Velicia vill ha ond drake att rida på. Fånigt! Man ska dessutom inte flyga. Det är jättedåligt. Vi hittar rester av drakar i grop. Jätte säger att Mokmurian offrade giriga drakar där som hans röda drake hittat. Den har varit försvunnen ett tag.

Nathaniel och jag ska ge oss ut till Kaven och Orik. Honey och Velicia går tillbaka till biblioteket. På vägen tillbaka klättrar vi upp till drakgrottan och hiter jätteskatt.

Vi återvänder in i borgen och portalar hem, men Honey och Velicia stannar.
