Notes:

After looting the giants, the party heads into the cloud giant’s tent to address the efreet. They agree to release the efreet if he will answer 3 questions, and he offers to give them each an item as well. The questions they ask and the answers they receive are nothing of substance save to confirm that the efreet is not in any way a plot point. He does confirm than Fingali is in catacombs underneath Mooncrest. The items given are necklaces that prevent scrying, which the party gratefully dons.

The party decides to bypass Caer Wynnic and not try to confront the giants; their main reasoning was to find and kill Fingali anyway and since he is elsewhere they decide to just bee-line towards him. They ride for Mooncrest. In the evening of the second day on the trail, Fyn (on watch) sees a lone figure destroy a patrol of giants. The party rouses and chases after the figure. He proves to be completely obscured by a cloak and hat but is quickly identified as the Puppet King (or one of his manikins, unknown for sure). The party disperses but Bajol stays to confront him. They have a terse conversation inside a dome of wicker, where Bajol learns that the Puppet King is not interested in the party anymore because they no longer have Alerhaus’ Book Box, and that the Puppet King cannot enter the Library on Isles of Mist. In the meantime he is killing giants out of boredom and sense of antagonism towards the God King. The party continues towards Mooncrest and the Puppet King wanders off east in Avonhollow.

They ride for a third day, continuing to dodge giant patrols, and arrive at the road to the south around lunch time. They then turn west towards Mooncrest and continue. That night they meet a group of merchants traveling east; a Halfling named Trevor and two human companions Enrique and Hefe.  The merchants let them know that the road is still open but dangerous, and that travelers are disappearing regularly.

They travel the next day and hit the crossroads at midday, and continue, rest for the night, ride again, camp once more and wake, a day’s ride from Mooncrest. End Session
