15/06/300 - Mid morning
The party discusses possible plans. When Heskan mentions that his preferred solution won't be the best, referring to a frontal assault on the giant's camp, Elnorin quipped back that "You're still going to do it when everything goes wrong".
To help their decision Savina offered them three broad choices:
- Go directly and quickly, likely heading straight through giant patrols
- Go between the patrols and the camp, hoping not to get caught by returning giants but taking more time
-The much longer, safe route.
They decided to force march the long route but both Namhias and Gringolet suffered from this.
On arrival they take a short rest before sending scouts forwards. What they found was a large ritual surrounding the fallen form of Kagaidom, preparing some foul sorcery. Four members of the Cabal were present, chanting into large floating chunks of orium. Upon the arrival of the party, their preparations were forced to accelerate.
Three of the Cabal died as the battle began but Adal was able to complete the ritual. Heavily wounded, she fled. The ritual killed Kagaidom before animating him as a zombie. The combat was brutal, Elnorin barely saving Ruric Ironfoot from being torn apart. Braith's arrows failed to strike true. Eventually Kaigadom was laid to rest. Ruric boldly stated this as a legendary event. Giant horns sounded in the distance and the party began to look to flee.
