We met Kormanak the kobold, who repulsed Harald and the Old Party in Kebnekaise. He's now Kormanak the Dragon-bather or some such, and a high level badass super kobold. He's likely on our side, and knows a lot of stuff. He said we should be worried about Zimerly-lin the mega-lich. Seems like he was pissed off about the Greae's list not including him, and now he's melted their temple and is going after everyone on the list.

We were fighting this stupid mega-demon shrew thing, and it was not going well for our team. Harald got Enlarged and picked up Severer, we won initiative and I rolled a 20 on my first shot (pic below). No more shrew monster. It's gnome (actually Spriggan) worshippers all start worshipping Harald and begging him to save them from leukemia now that their god is gone. Mass readings of the Vacuous Grimoire later the jerks are unable to cast illusion spells, and safe from bone cancer forever! Also, we learned that Utpala wants to a) genocide rakshasas and b) make sure the earth is "Destroyed at the right time, and by the right people". He also told shrew-demon that he has a fix in on the unknown men. We had a divination implying that this is the case, and they have a traitor in their midst. It is very likely that he knows the recipe, and thus wants no more rakshasas. He's living in Kandam as well, so we'll see you there, most likely.

Then we met with the Queen of the Rakshasas. She's all buddy-buddy with Jan Seyoum, and they have a trade set up: He straps himself into a machine she made that will cut off his hand and pull out his eye at the same time. She gets those, and he gets her artifact hand, the hand of Muji-aj. Also, found out that Naravanahabadata is the traitor, him and maybe one more unknown man. There's something up with his sword, called the sword of Kama (Love God) in India, but the sword came from the West.

We killed a demon-monster-giant dude, and got a sweet totally unusable crazy-damage dealing magic 30 foot long pike. Know any giants who need something like that? Also got the paw of the rakshasa queen, sweet. Now we've two rukh or rukh+ paws, so we'll give on to you guys for distributed storage next time we see you. Also picked up an expert mechanist and a bunch of crazy Oqba spiders, plus a machine that will pluck out Jan Seyoum's eye and chop off his hand at the same time. We're going to sabotage that so that it isn't exactly the same time, which should screw him and good. Then we hit the Footprint of Adam, where a crazy bronze golem horse guarded a bunch of stuff. Harald foolishly ignored some Augury and fought the house, narrowly avoiding death. But avoid it he did, and we got to talk to an old god of the mountain in Sri Lanka. He knows all about the South, up to and including Kandam. He gave us these pointers: 1) Ool is cloaked in negative plane derived darkness, so you need a light or bad thing happen to you. Critters there will come to eat your light, so you better have a lot of light, or kill those critters quick. 2) Veshna hid "his greatest wish and greatest treasue" in Ool, but forgot the combination. 3) Utpala does not have Shiva's Cresent moon; Shiva crushed that, and what Shiva crushes stays crushed. Also, Shiva's Cresent shot a disintegration beam or somesuch, and had nothing to do with undead or paralyzation or anything. There is another Moon artifact: The New Moon of Ratri, thief goddess. As a thief artifact it could disguish itself, perhaps as a cresent.... 4) Undead in Kandam are unturnable, and uncontrollable. Also, there are a lot of them. We also got a ton of gold and an item or two, TBD.
