Saving the Elves from a Revenge Genocide

Harald drops off the Brotherhood of Purity in Fez so they can go off and try to stop the Phantom Blot from joining the Qingu Tournament. He rejoins the party on their boat that is headed back to Iceland, but he Teleports low and lands in the clutches of a waiting giant squid. The squid tears into him, and he is only saved by Ailyll breaking his Elven succor stick. He appears in a blasted wasteland covered with bones, bandages himself, and waits warily. The rest of the party Teleports to him using the Rod of Cadmus after they finish putting down the squid. A Heal and one forced march later the party is pow-wowing with Hisham, the Caliph of Cordoba, his rat vizier Norwit, and his trusty party led by Raheesh. They tell the party about a terrible Black Cloud of Vengence that has been wiping out the elven kingdoms one by one. Only the Dog Riders kingdom in the south has not been attacked. We team up and head there, and then prep for a big fight. Indeed, after some time a terrible storm approaches, then it starts raining fire. We take a severe beating, but kill this evil Cloud in one round, saving elfdom. Harald tries to get appointed Super-king of the elves, but has to make do with being recognized as Defender of the Realm. We get Raheesh to agree to help us out with vengence on Throk, who was behind all of this. Without resting Harald, Akim, Trappo, and Ailyll Teleport off to Avalon, while Saiiq and Lila head back to the boat to assemble a sub-party in order to get Thorgrimm and Bevis out of the tournament.
