The party had freshly lured two Garis wizards into the stairwell room when the session began. The two wizards did not make much of a fight, facing the party's new tactic of holding them to the ground and casting silence spells. This one-two punch made them ineffectual and the party was soon securing the room that they had been guarding.
People (and Giants) in Stasis
The room, among other things, had many side rooms and closets, some full of foodstuffs and one full of clothes, wizard robes to be precise. The hallway to the rear of the chamber had 6 coffin-like enclosures with what appeared to be submerged wizards inside. The party decided not to disturb these apparently sleeping? frozen? wizards until later.
In the next room, however, two giants, presumably ice giants were in gargantuan coffins of the same description. The two giants appeared to be perfectly preserved and possibly sleeping.
Mambet Mambet is Found
A few rooms later and Dastanbek Nariman was found, a high level wizard and friend of Mambet Mambet, who was immediately discovered in the next room. Like the others, both were found in a magic circle and collared. They immediately left their holding areas and made for the way out, saying that they would research a way to remove the collars. An impatient Raqim Anuar could not wait for this, however, and attempted to cast a detect....
This action detonated the two collars which exploded for enough damage to vaporize poor Raqim. Fortunately, he was protected with magic resistance to fire and survived the twin blasts, which came very close to destroying the rescued wizards as well. Raquim's owl did not survive. Ebil Yalies healed up the casualties and the party was soon back into shape.
They pulled out the compass box and summoned Hedgewind Jalinbeti.
Hedgewind is Summoned
Upon being summoned, Hedgewind Jalinbeti appeared in an adjoining room alongside the ranger Rayjock Halperion and a mysterious cloaked wizard. Hedgewind immediately tended to the two giants in the coffins, waving his hands over the various lights. This action seemed to drain the coffins of whatever liquid was inside them and brought the inhabitants back to life.
Hedgewind spoke with the two revived frost giants in fluent Giant language. He assured the two giants (named Akzhurek and Ulukbek) that they were now among friends and that they would do everyone a great service to find their way out of the fortress below and take as many wizards as they find with them. The wary giants thanked Hedgewind with an oath and went on their way... presumably to knock around a few air elementals.
That excitement over, Hedgewind bade that the party move upstairs to confront the sorceress, Gulaisha Abzal.
The Final Battle
The party moved to the next door...
