With Hargulka now defeated the group well rested now marched their army west to the emerald city, the ex-troll kings capital.
It soon comes apparent that the capital isn't as well developed as Wyvernshore as they observed what was more like a "shanty" town, the only developed building was the king's lair which was built into the side of a small mountain.
The group ride through the "city" and make their way to the lair only to find a hill giant had barred the door to the lair from the inside.
The group ride through the "city" and make their way to the lair only to find a hill giant had barred the door to the lair from the inside.
The group announce the troll king's death at the door and ask for the
door to be opened. The giant appeared to be uneducated and a being of very few words, which made it awkward for the group to use their persuasive skill set, but eventually the hill giant opens the door even though he protests that he was
told not to let the group into the lair.
The group question the hill giant as to the location of anyone else residing within the lair to which he informed the group that his friend ‘Korgalc’
was collecting all the ‘shinies’ down the corridor there, Miro instantly became restless and so the group left the hill
giant to guard the door whilst they went looking for his pillaging comerade who was preparing to flee with their hard-earned(?!?) loot.
Eventually they find themselves in a large chamber with an old wagon that has lost it's wheels and numerous crates that appeared to be overflowing with the spoils of war and standing in front of all those crates and separating Miro and his "hard earned" treasure was a rock troll with a nasty looking club and an evil grin that verged on being near-delighted.
Not wasting anytime Kyrander shoots an arrow and hits.
Vaneer casts sound burst.
Otto casts haste on the group.
Miro stabs and stabs and stabs and stabs (you get the point) and hits.
The Rock troll swipes at Miro and sends the half-pint treasure collector flying.
Natalia casts flaming sphere and hits.
Bob charges in for the attack and misses.
Kyrander shoots 3 more arrows and hits.
Vaneer attacks and misses.
Otto casts acid splash and hits the rock troll.
Miro critically hits the rock troll severing both the creature’s
arms in an not so impressive display of acrobatics.
With the fight over the group take account of what their new addition to the kingdom has to offer, they leave a small division of troops to maintain order in the emerald city till an official Lord/Mayor/Count/Duke etc etc is decided to take responsibility for the city, though the door guarding hill giant was delighted to hear that he wasn't about to be made unemployed.
Whilst going through the lair's possessions Miro discovers a note and a map that obviously shows Wyvernshore and the nearby area with an arrow pointing at the city leading from some hill's with the note, "It has been released!".
Worried what could be happening to their own city the group rush to return to Wyvernshore

Meanwhile as our heroes rush back in Wyvernshore, on the morning of the 3rd day (the day when the group will arrive) tremors begin to shake Wyvernshore:
A glass of water on someone's bedside cabinet ripples as a dull thudding noise grows in volume,
A giant shadow approaches a series of houses in the early morning, just before the sun rises.
A couple of residents walking through the streets stare up on disbelief and shock
A loud shriek echoes across the city and windows implode.
An enormous clawed paw smashes through a shop as if it were made of paper-mache.
The few remaining street lights glow a green light and then explode as electric discharges arc across the sidewalk.
A loud sizzling noise can be heard and the nearby hairs of a labourer out walking his dog rise up and crackle, before both are turned into blacked shadows on the stone path,
… Will they arrive in time to save their city from two enormous creatures?
