Chapter 4: Fortress of the Stone Giants - Part 3, 4: Jorgenfist; Under Jorgenfist


Arrival & Exploration

Tokki
Personal Log. Entry 155.7: Dividends proved instrumental in catching up to the group quickly. They weren't very hard to track, though, with the sheer size of the ogre and giant corpses left in their wake. The wounds seemed a bit excessive compared to our usual encounters with them. I fear that without the watchful eye of Hilma and myself, the rest of the group would go toward a less righteous path on their way to victory.
Personal Log. Entry 155.12: The path to Jorgenfist is baron and dismal. To think, though, it was not too far from where but a few months ago. If we only had a little more information we would have been able to stop any of this from happening and saved the people of Sandpoint any more darkness. I must not show it, but my incompetence in this regard weighs heavily upon me.
