The Slaughter of Morach Tor

After handing the spear over to Tyro, it is agreed that the next step of action should be to rescue Lorhin, Siril's son, if possible.

- Tyro explains that Lorhin is being held by an old tribe of lizardfolk called the Khoroshen. They live in a small swamp on a large rock outcropping called Morach Tor, located north of Kingfisher Hollow.

- The party leaves for Kingfisher Hollow, where they hire an old trapper to lead them to the swamp.

- Once at the swamp, the party is met by a large group of lizardfolk. They are massive creatures, powerfully muscled and wielding bone clubs and wooden shield with the emblem of a viper. These are the Viperkin, the warriors of the Khoroshen.

- A deal is struck to trade Lorhin for a number of mundane weapons and a magical spiked chain. Lorhin is taken back to Cauldron.

- After hearing what Lorhin has to say, Tyro urges the party to return and eradicate the Khoroshen.

- With a handy water breathing spell the party sneaks into the Khoroshen camp on the side of Morach Tor. Jonl manages to sneak all the way into on of the leader's huts and stabs him in the back. Battle ensues. Their opponents consist of a lizardfolk druid, many Viperkin, a few crocodiles, and one giant crocodile.

- In the Khoroshen camp they meet a black-skinned gnome named Grimham who speaks a very choppy gnomish. He says he comes from a city he calls Darkhome, the city of his people. He was captured by the Khoroshen and has been their slave for the last few years. The party agrees that he can tag along as they plan on venturing in Morach Tor. Grimham hopes to find the entrance back into the world below.

- After the long battle, the party ascends Morach Tor and decides to wait it out a night. The next morning they head into Morach Tor, battling a small group of crocodiles and Viperkin.

- They swim their way into an area with a whirlpool where sacrifices are made to the Khoroshen god, Kheshebik. A battle is fought in tight quarters with the priestess of the Khoroshen and her Viperkin guards. The party rests up in a small dry side room.

- The continue down the next day and battle a five-headed hydra. They learn through trial and error to kill the creature by lopping off its heads.
