The party checked out the the Thornhold, a great keep set on the side of a mountain. They were given a map with a secret entrance. Felix and Corrail crawled down the cliff and into a drain tunnel. Invisible, they followed the tunnel past a one-way mechanism (that they disabled) into a cell. Through the drain grate, they could see the cell's occupant, a ratfolk archaeologist named Byron. Byron talked the two into escorting him into the tunnel, though he was wary of climbing out. Corrail and Felix checked out the rest of the cell area and could peer out into a main chamber that opened out onto the cliff face. There they spotted two large giants, sitting and eating.
They returned, taking Byron along, and getting back to the rest of the party. They diced to split into two groups. Elliot, Ally, Zirul, the Tiger, and Yuri would hold back for a frontal attack, while Don, Corrail, and Felix would go in through the tunnel and try to take out the giants. Once inside Don worked his magic on one of the giants as they were spotted by them. One giant went after Don. The other Don conviced to fight the other. In the end, Don't giant won and became a friendly member of the group.
Outside the rest of the group were spotted and started to attack. Two battle mages on the front towers cast fireballs down on the group. The blast killed Zirul, Ally, and the Tiger. The cavalier and winter wolf charged in through the front gate toward the Behir.
Meanwhile the party from below charged up into one of the rear towers. The rogue fired off with his bow at the bandits below. Don dropped three beads from his necklace of fireballs below and killed most of the bandits, the bandit lord, and the behir in one strike. This happened just as druids from the forest appeared to assist.
The party took the keep and started digging through the plunder in the dungeon below. They found a rod of resurrection so perhaps some could be revived. One of the remaining bandits under interrogation let the new owners know that a Forgebar Dwarven attack was expected at any time.
Now the group gets to prepare their keep.
