The World of Telvar

Sputnik Finds a Glyph on the door and Fred Erases it. He then pops the lock after the Giant’s belt is active. We then move into the next room and find another trapped door. We decide to spell shift in that room.
Sputnik determines the door has a Glyph that Fred Erases. After much discussion Fred burns a hole in the door with acid. He then Sleeps the archer squad on the other side. There are several doors out of that room. He
Two of the doors are labeled in Dwarven. The left door says Military Offices and is highly used. The one on the right said Merchants’ Guild Offices. Straight ahead used unbarred closed. Behind and to left is a trapped door.
Fire giants could move easily enough in here, but a Cloud Giant would struggle a bit to get through.

After much vacillation we decide to go through the Military Office door. There is a 20 by 30 room with many low stone counters around. There are a large number of posts in the floor with rings on top. They were to hold ropes to create queues.
The tracks lead straight through to a room with stairs leading up and down and a passageway out the back. The door out of the room is not trapped and is least used. The passageway, though, has sounds coming from it.
It goes a short distance and there is a small room with food strewn about. Then there is another room with 5 more Hobgoblins. We slaughter them. There are arrow slits out of the room and a ladder leading up out of the room.
The ladder leads to an immense space with two squads of Hobgoblins. There are arrow slits out of the room and two alarm bells. Fred Sleeps the lounging squad. In the next segment Raybur Holds two of the other squad. The other three then start yelling. Sputnik then Holds two of the last three. Fred heads to start killing the Sleepers. Sputnik shoots at and misses the fleeing Hobgoblin. Farwater and Arthur slay him with a pair of crossbow bolts.
We slaughter the remaining 9 and head down the way. Five of Hobgoblins run from us due to the yelling. As we catch up to them they fire at Fred and he returns with a Pool Ball Lightning Spell. He drops those five and two more of the brace of squads that emerge from side doors.
Two of the eight combatants start spells and Conrhia hits one with an arrow. Farwater shoots him again and he drops. Arthur wings the other spell caster. The one that is still standing lobs a cloth bag which explodes into a poison cloud as Talarian leaps into battle. Farwater saves by the margin of the Bless. Talarian chunks the caster’s bodyguard. Arthur then drops the caster.
Talarian gets shot. He is “hit cleanly.” Zephram then drops another. Farwater gets into melee and drops his guy with one shot. Phyllis chunks the penultimate one. The last guy shoots Talarian again. Before anyone can do anything else he shoots Talarian again. Talarian wilts to keep from dying. Fred shoots his bowstring. Sputnik takes a swing and barely misses him. He fries Sputnik with his new bow.
The rest of the melee fighters close with him. Fred drops him with a final set of Magic Missiles. We gather the portable magic items including 12 short arrows that Sputnik picks up.
We explore a little and find six chained goblins in a forge room. We free one and have him lead us to where the Giants would be, which is the other trapped door in the first choice room. We then decide to liberate the mine. He leads us back toward the mine. We spot an ambush with 20 hobgoblins, two Fire Mastiffs, a pre-historic Lion, and the two giants.
We use the Fireball Scroll and toast 19 of the Hobgoblins. Then Arthur lobs the Inflatable Squid at them and kills the animals and encourages the final Hobgoblin to flee, but the Squid grabs him as a late life snack.
Sputnik zaps the Fire Giant with the Korian circlet for a little damage. Zephram drops him with a crossbow bolt. The Cloud Giant Flies at us. He is just under 17’ tall and the ceiling is 20 feet high. He has to hover above the carpet of bugs, but missiles do not hurt him and he doesn’t seem to be very affected by fire or electricity. We wail on him until he decides to flee with 8 wounds. Five of them came from two hits by Raybur with Ankle Biter, bka Belly Miner.
He runs and Fred sets the Battlement Bridge. He runs into it, stops and
