From the journal of Dame Orky

Benjamin thinks the Oozes came from the Underdark, but we can't find any large passages.

We decide to contract some Dwarves to plug up any holes to the Underdark we find. We collect our treasure from the Wraith to hire a militia. We got 150 gp per person. 1 gp per cycle is a ton of money for a solider is a lot of money. Geral is considering paying them 1 sp per day.

Gundren pulls Geral aside and shows him an Elven airship (~150 ft long) that has landed and the crew is approaching us. They seem friendly. Tasbros talks to them and they said they notice we activated the Spell Forge and he wants to trade so they can access items of power. Geral asks Gundren who built the Spell Forge. He doesn't know, but thinks the Elves and Dwarves had an agreement previously. Geral asks Airship Captain how he knew we cleared it. He said it sang to them along the Ley Lines as soon as it was freed. He says his name is Varbation Starsight and the Elendil is his Airship. Geral introduces himself and shows interest in creating a trade agreement. Varbation offers 5% of the value of the items they make. Geral mentions the Drow we captured to Varbation, who will take it to the High Courts of Judgement. An Elven Air Marshall walks over to the Drow and puts some sort of magical cuffs on the Drow, preventing spellcasting. Geral talks to Gundren about what happened with the Wraith. He agreed that we should find some way to let him pass on. Gundren seems suspicious that this creature is a Wraith, he thinks it could be a Ghost.

Aeraval

Gundren says his clan is under attack by Giants. He will give us 15% if we save his family. We wholeheartedly agree and jump on the airship to find them. We ascend very quickly and set off!

We see a very large Dwarven Mining Crawler that is being pounded on by very large humanoids. We are all handed a Quaal's Feather Token by Varbation and told not to lose it and just jump off the edge of the Elendil. We count 11 Giants and 12 Ogres with various equipment on them. Ten of the Giants are massive but one is super jacked, a Fire Giant. Ogres are on the front trying to jam the door open. Geral decides we should land in front of the door and protect that first. The magic folk should land on top of the Dwarven Mining Crawler.

The vehicle cannot move because there are a ton of clubs stuck in the tracks. We need some large people to help pull them out. We use Charm on the Fire Giant that is still alive to try and get him to pull the vehicle. We surround the Fire Giant, weapons raised, and Wulrif commands the Fire Giant to fix the vehicle. He complies and then, finished, starts walking away, proudly. We let him go. He takes off a chain, puts it on the ground, and steps through a what is now a portal, disappearing. The Dwarves are very happy and we inspect the vehicle. It has these weird things that makes food. We take a long rest now.
