The heroes spent the next couple of days healing the surviving dwarves and taking them and the loot back to Magnimar.

Lamias are monstrous humanoids. Monstrous humanoids are similar to humanoids, but with monstrous or animalistic features. They often have magical abilities as well. They have darkvision. Monstrous humanoids breathe, eat, and sleep. The hate-filled inheritors of an ancient curse, lamias appear as lean and attractive women from the waist up, while below they possess the bodies of powerful lions. Even their humanoid features bear distinctly feline traits, their eyes slitted and feral and their teeth like predatory fangs. A typical lamia stands over 6 feet tall, measures more than 8 feet long, and weighs upward of 650 pounds. Although a lamia is Large, its upper torso is the same size as that of a Medium humanoid. As a result, lamias wield weapons as if they were one size category smaller than their actual size (Medium for most lamias). Lamias are attracted to the ruined and forsaken parts of the world. Crumbling keeps, abandoned cities, and forgotten monuments all satisfy these

The heroes followed Conna's direction to rescue the dwarves. Chamber of the Sihedron. The doors to this room were made of stone and carved with an immense seven-pointed star - the Sihedron Rune. The doors themselves were unlocked but quite heavy and required pushing to open - causing them to grind on their ancient stone hinges. This immense hall was an unexpected break from the rough stone walls of caverns and caves. The rectangular chamber was fifty feet wide and a hundred feet long, with riblike spines arching up to a vaulted ceiling fifty feet overhead. The room's floor was loose soil, while the wall opposite the doors was carved with an immense bas-relief of a seven-pointed star. Throughout the room, seven fifteen-foot-tall tree trunks had been driven into the ground like immense stakes, their sides carved with countless more stars. Each trunk had been fitted with an iron ring from which dangled chains affixed to manacles. Next to each trunk stood an iron brazier filled wit

Mokmurian fought until the heroes killed him. When Mokmurian was dying, this effect was, for a moment, delayed. When Karzoug took control (because of Mokmurian's death), Mokmurian's body suddenly went rigid. He spasmed a few times, and then his head turned to face the heroes, mechanically and clumsily, as if being forced to move by invisible hands. In a strangely accented voice, a voice that sounded almost human, he spoke, his eyes flaring with a soul-searing emerald radiance. "So these are the heroes of the age. More like gasping worms to me - worms to be crushed back into the earth when I awaken the armies of Xin-Shalast, when the name Karzoug is again spoken with fear and awe. Know that the deaths of those marked by the Sihedron - the giants you have so conveniently slayed for me - hasten my return, just as yours soon will. Fools, all of you. Is this all you could manage in ten thousand years?" At that, Karzoug laughed a cruel, mocking laugh that echoed and faded.

Born mightier and larger than usual for their kind, jotunblood giants tower over their fellows both in height and power. Often called king-giants by the smaller races, jotunblood giants almost invariably live up to that name, acting as leaders of the other giants they live with. Few giant tribes can boast more than one jotunblood giant, and these creatures rarely beget more. Typically, a jotunblood giant is born when a giant tribe lacks strong leadership. The birth of a second jotunblood giant to a tribe that already has one is usually seen as a sign from the giant gods that the tribe has grown too large and must split, with the two halves going their separate ways. Reluctance to do so has led to bloody civil wars and long-held grudges. Jotunnblood giants can detect opponents by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases; if downwind, it drops. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at longer ranges. Overpowering scents, such as skunk mus

Taiga giants are giant humanoids. Humanoids usually have two arms, two legs, and one head, or a human-like torso, arms, and a head. Humanoids have few or no supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but most can speak and usually have well-developed societies. They are usually Small or Medium (with the exception of giants). Humanoids breathe, eat, and sleep. A giant is a humanoid creature of great strength, usually of at least Large size. Giants have low-light vision. Taiga giants wander endlessly to keep from depleting the food supply of any one area. Aurochs and mammoths are their preferred inland prey, while whales, seals, and walruses provide food in coastal regions. These animals form the cornerstone of tribal survival, not just for the food they provide but because nearly all of a tribe’s possessions, from their portable shelters to their weapons, are crafted form the bone, hides, and sinews of felled beasts. Little is wasted. Taiga giants are accomplished rock throwers. A

Rubble blocked the western approach. The heroes used to magic to exit the room after they finished looting it. The escaped stone giant gathered a group of giants to mount an attack on the library to finish off the heroes. The heroes had secured an alliance with Conna and since she still lived, and among the giants whom the stone giant recruited - when this patrol encountered the heroes, Conna switched sides to aid them, a move that threw the other stone giants into chaos. Half of those giants soon defected as well, renouncing Mokmurian as an unworthy runt and joining Conna and the heroes against him. The heroes are still fighting this battle.
