#### Events

- In the previous, missing session, we fought SO MANY THINGS! There was a big guy in spiky armor, and ogres, and a half-orc wizard, and spear guys, and a boat load of goblins and half-orcs.
- We leave the killings fields, back into the Valley of Ash, and try to decide how to move forward. We settle on moving further along the Valley of Ash towards Vuln. 
    - Along the way, we come across many footprints. We continue.
    - Further along, we see a number of flames shooting up at different heights on our right. There are murder-holes along the cliff-side, large enough for ballistae. There is a curtain wall, with patrols. And before us are glowing rocks, leading towards the fortifications. Drakes circle the volcano beyond. We back away, and as we do, one of the drakes spots us.
    - We retreat about 20 minutes back, and after some daring discovery, find a suitable camp! Humblebag and his goat start climbing towards the camp. Carmen escorts Harvey first, then Sir Laughlin and Swordpit. However, before he can come back for me, a dozen full-plate-armored goat-riding hobgoblins surrounded and captured me. I surrendered peacefully, without revealing my connection to the rest of the party. Half of the goat-riders, noticing disturbed rocks, went to investigate towards the party. The remainder of the goat-riders escorted me back to the fortifications. 
        - They bring me to a cell, and take away all my stuff, and Brandywine, and lock me up in the dark. A dark gnome eventually shows up, and asks me some questions, and apparently my answers weren't good enough, because he left me. I played with some Dancing Lights, and evidently that *really* bothered them, because a whole bunch of hobgoblins showed up and beat me senseless! Guess I got a good night's sleep after all.
    - Meanwhile, the party managed to rest on a landing hidden in the ash. During the night a king-sized bed magically appeared, but when they awoke they were laying on boulders. After their rest, the descended the mountain, right into a column of the dragon's troops. Combat is inevitable.
