And of course, before we start, a quick refresher. The party set out through the Ravel Pass towards the Drawven village of Padun. On their way, the first encountered another dwarven village called Hargun. There, they learned more about the Great Furnace and the difficulty getting there. After stocking up on some supplies, the group set out again to Padun. They arrived at night, encountering Kilvar, one of the locals of Padun. After a tumultuous morning and being accidentally accosted by the Padun guard, led by Baral, who happened to be the contact the group was supposed to meet. They were led to the Padun court, headed by Baral's father, the Mayor Bael. After a lengthy discussion, the group decided to walk towards the Great Furnace, where they were buffeted by a powerful dust storm. With the aid of Jon's spells, the group made it through the storm and began their ascent up the mountain. Kindra sent her pseudodragon ZuZu up the mountain to scout ahead, finding a deep cave that seemed to house a Sphinx, waiting for the group's arrival.
