Even later in the night Report

General Summary

After taking stock of the "Barracks" Actually it was a brewery. We decided to clear out the upstairs and make sure nobody was hiding around up there.

Upstairs in the brewing 'office' we found a number of cooking herbs, medicinal herbs, a poison and some alchemical vials.

We then made plans for the night.

1. Varr'os collected another three Frost Giant Beards for his collection.
2. We poisoned a few barrels of ale with the deadly nightshade.
3. We rigged the brewery boiler to blow explode in about an hour.. left a very long slow burning fuse to some powder.
4. We snuck around the entire southern portion of the camp all the way up to the building we think is the mess hall. Amazingly we were sneaky enough that nobody and nothing saw us at all. We hid until the Explosion over at the Brewery rocked the camp and lit up the whole of the night about twelve hundred feet to the east.. distracting EVERYONE in the camp so we can move on to the next step of the plan.
5. We then snuck over to the Grainery Mill under the cover of Daemon's Invisibility spheres. We heard a noise and then we waited more and a pair of trolls came outside. We went inside!
6. Inside the grainery we found a dire bear that was coming out of the back room. Between the Nargyrmkin twins, Giggety and Varr'os we were able to calm down the scared Dire Bear and make him an ally (35 Wild Empathy) then Adler decides he hates bears and speaks the words of a Thorny Entanglement trapping the bear in the now burning Mill. Zaxel follows adler's lead and tosses a vial of alchemist fire into the loose grain. Half the party flees the building the dwarfs try and try to get the bear out only to be burned very badly as the mill now explodes.. killing the bear and almost killing the Nargyrnkin twins.
7. Giggety runs up the animal pens and starts to warp wood on the fence.. she makes enough room that herself and Grumog can slip inside. Adler pushes open the gate and throws a thunderstone into the barn.. setting off a stampede.
8. Picking ourselves up from the ground the dwarves head towards the nearest watch tower as it is currently shooting off skyrockets. We start shooting at the frost giant. daemon appears out of nowhere having caused the giant to have a seizure.
9. Giggety shifts into E'Lunas form and works as a moving fence patrolling to drive the mammoths deeper into the camp and farther away from the rest of the party. She looks different somehow but is moving so fast inbetween tents its hard to make out.
10. adler shows up at the watch tower and kills the giant, just as the dwarves were about to. Varr'os takes the beard to add to the collection, and the others rifle through a few sacks and paperwork that were inside the tower.

We pause here for the night at roughly 2AM.. With the intentions next session of burning down the mess hall, meeting with the wolf pack. Hopefully ive succeeded in talking the others down from burning down the Shrine of Thremyr (o) in the far north east of the camp. Ive got a very very bad feeling about doing that.. we KNOW that the alpha of the winter wolf pack Renfear is a divine guardian of Thremyr and if we burn down his shrine then the winter wolves WILL go to war with us. We do not want that to happen.
