Session Ninety-Six: Mountain Inhabitants.

Kraah slept lightly and was awoken by the sounds of wailing below. He asked Raco what he thought it was and Raco said it might be the undead on the plateau. Kraah decided to fly down and investigate.
Kraah heard the wailing and saw the glowing red eyes of the banshees below. He estimated there were a dozen or more. Before he could study them further, he was filled with irrational rage.
Kraah flew back up to Raco and began viciously attacking him. Raco punched and kicked Kraah in return. Being a hand to hand master, Kraah was no match for the mul and was quickly knocked unconscious. Raco then tied him up, with some giant hair rope.

Day 4, Week 1, Dessalia, Friend's Vengeance, 190th King's Age, Sun Descending

The morning was cold. More cold than any of them could remember. Cheet had a blanket, which was normally warm enough, but she shivered as the cold breeze glided over her skin. Yusef was wearing two sets of clothes, along with a blanket and cloak. Everyone else in the group, besides Raco, was dressed in a similar fashion. Raco had a light robe and Cheet was wearing a skirt and shirt, which left her arms bare. They were both very cold.

Session Ninety-Five: Negotiating with Abductors

Once the group had healed enough, they pressed forward, determined to invade the living chamber of the dwarf-like creatures. The creatures expected the group to follow them, so they had evacuated all of the non-combatants, and prepared an ambush.
This time, the fight was more difficult, as one of the creatures was an elemental cleric and another was a preserver. Raco targeted the preserver first and knocked him unconscious. Seeing how fiercely Raco fought, the cleric used his elemental magic to freeze Raco in place. 
Samsun used his magic to charm one of the creatures, who tried to stop the other creatures from fighting Samsun. The fight progressed, with the group getting the upper hand. However, the group was badly injured and was uncertain of victory.
Cheet used the way to telepathically contact the dwarf-like creature who was a cleric. She told the priest that they did not want to keep fighting and that they were just looking for their friend. She proceeded to explain what Shada looked like.
The priest called out to the creatures to stop attacking and the fight ended. The priest admitted to Cheet that they had taken Shada. He said that Shada walked too close to the cliff face and they pulled him into the mountain. They took him to feed the mountains guardian. The mountain was scared to the creatures and the guardian protected it.

Session Ninety-Four: The Plateau

As the group was marveling at the clear water, Fain reminded them that going further into the mountains would probably mean their death. He had seem many brave, but foolish, people climb the cliff. He told them that there was no path from the plateau. He said it matter-of-factly, but the group noticed a hint of concern in his voice.
The group thanked him for his concern, but said they were on an important errand. With this statement, Samsun retrieved the eggs from his pack and used the mountain water to clean them. Fain looked on in confused wonder. Samsun then wet the fabric he was carrying, wrapped the eggs back up, and placed them back in his backpack.
The group explored the ruins. There were the foundations of square buildings, with bits of wall still standing erect. The doorways were wide enough for a human, but there were remains that indicated the doorways were shorter. They concluded that this was likely a dwarven village.
They looked up the sheer cliff and suggested climbing it. Kraah asked Shada to prepare the climbing gear. Shada emptied his pack and began organizing and preparing the climbing gear for the arduous climb.
