+title: Stormed Heims, S4E5
+---
+
+## Current Objectives
+- ~~Rescue Green Guts~~
+- ~~Investigate the ethereal plane room~~
+- Travel to the old Dwarf capital, north-east of Vuln, Stormheim!
+
+## Events
+- SG _scrys_ on Green Guts, but it fails. She next _sends_ a message to Gene Erica von Illamage, first requesting a meeting to negotiate releasing Green Guts. Gene Erica replies, "What's the goblin's name? Where were they captured?". SG follows up with another _sending_, providing Green Guts' name, and that she has a guess as to where; Gene Erica replies, "Where do you guess?" SG _sends_ one final message, with all information, and Gene Erica says he'll look into it.
+
+- Boobons _teleports_ us back to Elrich's house. We speak with him briefly about the ratman encounter, and learn that Elrich had no trouble slaying Abheam the ratfolk. When he did so, the body erupted in a flash of light, leaving behind the skin of the ratman, and bones which quickly fell to dust. After some further discussion, Gartug and Boobons pick up on Elrich hoping we'll investigate the ethereal-zone room. We relent.
+    - Boobons _dimension doors_ us to the entrance
+    - We descend into the cave, down the spiral, and to the room. No indication of the Abheam the ratfolk.
+    - We head back up to Elrich's, but he's not around, so we bounce back to Rhyme and discuss next steps.
+
+- Despite grumbles, SG decides to pursue Green Guts, and thus the party shifts! SG, Chuck, Gartug, and Randy van Peoples set out to Lon's Thicket! Off target!
+    - We arrive on an ice-sheet, hundreds of miles off target. In the distance, we see a huge mountain, covered in carved bridges and ramparts. We see drake or dragon-like figures flying.
+    - After some more grumbles, SG _sends_ a message to Boobons, updating him. Boobons _scrys_ on Gartug, learns the location, and _teleports_ to us (successfully!).
+    - Some of the drake-riders dive towards us, yelling in giant for us to "Get off the ice!" As we _teleport_ away, back to Rhyme, we hear the sounds of breaking ice.
+
+- Now back in Rhyme, the plan is to, once again, _teleport_ back towards Stormheim, and continue!
