<h4id="events">Events</h4>
<ul>
<li>I attempt to negotiate with Slit, a representative of the Court of Worms.
<ul>
<li>The court demanded an offering of corpses.</li>
<li>A further demand was that the army would have safe passage, but 1 in every 10 would be taken by the Court.</li>
<li>Both of these demands were unacceptable.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Stackor updates Colonel Syrup, who orders us to clear out the Court
<ul>
<li>We explore the lower tunnels, and kill some of the fey.</li>
<li>We find a door obviously sized for a giant, closing on pathway of the tunnel. We leave it closed.</li>
<li>Going the other way, we find a trap door. We leave it closed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Stackor returns to camp, to update Colonel Syrup. He orders up to investigate further into the tunnels.
<ul>
<li>We approach the giant door first
<ul>
<li>Opening it with <em>Knock</em>, we discover the drill bit used to create the top-most bore tunnel. It is made of an odd metal we’ve never seen before.</li>
<li>There is also an armor giant. A giant armor. A suit of rune-laden armor for a giant. It’s magical.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>We approach the trapdoor next.
<ul>
<li>After some effort, and Jen creating a pull ring, we open the trap door. There’s a huge-sized ladder into the depths. We take our time and descend.</li>
<li>At the bottom is what appears to be a human-sized skeleton. It does not smell of piss. We are in a smooth-stoned tunnel, bored from the bit we found in the giant room.</li>
<li>Traveling forward, we find a doorway on the left. Investigating further, we find a square room with a “big ol’ metal thing” with a canvas tube going into the rear wall. Two fey were hiding, that teleported away when we found them.
<ul>
<li>The “big ol’ metal thing” is full of wires and gears, clearly broken down, panels and such.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>We hear moaning from the hallway, from something larger than previously known</li>
</ul>
