And you make a good point about meeting a second invasion force head on. I'm certain they would have come down the Storval Stairs and then followed the Lampblack. There's no other path that makes sense. And hopefully Gunrus can confirm this for us. If another force is coming that way, then we are sure to either meet them on the road or at least hear that they are nearby from locals (or see evidence of the destruction they might leave in their wake), and we can meet them in the field away from innocents in town.

That would be my only argument against teleporting to the Fort and heading out from there... its less likely that more giants would head towards Rannick if they were, in fact, coming for Sandpoint again, so we may be better off remaining mounted or on foot for the duration to ensure another strike force doesn't get by us.

As for Teleporting in general, Anna only has access to 2 5th level spells at the moment, so to take all of us would take 3 days, as I can only take an additional 1 small or medium sized humanoid for every 3 levels I have, and I'd have to make a return trip. Unless you guys want to jump into the bag of holding and probably suffocate, it'll take us some time. Traveling to Magnimar and back may be easier, as perhaps all of us don't feel like going.

It might save us a ton of time going up to Skull's Crossing and taking boats, as Anna and Sam actually came across the Storval Deep, and are at least passingly familiar with the area, but as Black Magga lives (lived?) in the Deep, maybe going by way of Galduria, Wolf's Ear, and Ravensmoor is better.

In the meantime, we've sort of agreed that we're taking about a week to sort stuff out here. During that time, we may find out things that cause us to move sooner or later.

Things that we should do in our "down time":

1) Dothan is finishing her journal.

2) Dothan will find out from Gunrus more about how the giants got here, how Mokmurian will find out the status of their mission, and how he might be likely to react in case of mission failure. This will give us more information about how much time we might or might not have.

3) We will be making plans (and by "we", I mean people who aren't Dothan) for the defense of Sandpoint. At a minimum, we need to help implement a better lookout/early warning system; establish an evacuation plan; leave a method for the people of Sandpoint to contact us in case we need to teleport home in a hurry. There's probably more than that, but it's a start.

4) We have to determine the fate of Gogmurt (if possible), then decide if we want to offer Gogmurt and/or Gunrus new lives in the Fort Rannick/Hook Mountain region. Figure out the logistics and terms of that. Possibly neither one is interested.

5) We should go to Magnimar. There's always shopping to do. Plus touching base with our patron Grobaras. (Every time I see the Mayor's name, I read it as Lord-Mayor Grab-ass.) Maybe we are interested in setting terms with him or trying to put him in his place. Sandpoint IS a Magnimarian holding, so he is responsible for it's defense in these trying times. Dothan can easily work up some simple songs to start spreading around that will shame him if he fails to defend his people.

6) Maybe more of us should visit Brodert Quink at the Old Light, now that we've had some discussions on the matter. We may have new things to look for there or new questions to ask him. This surge of interest in his work will probably thrill the old man.

7) Just more research and questions about Teraktinus's target in general. I've covered all the stuff Dothan can think of, but maybe some of you higher wisdom folks have some contacts or inspiration that haven't occurred to me. We'll check with the other historian/sage types in town about ancient Thassilonian magic and the ruins/remnants that can be found in and around Sandpoint. Maybe there's more clues in that.

8) Maybe a Sending to our man in Fort Rannick to see if there's any news or rumblings out there of the giants at Jorgenfist. I know they're a ways off, but it's the same mountain range. Maybe he's heard something in the two weeks since we left. Maybe other smaller humanoids are fleeing the Jorgenfist area as Mokmurian builds his army, and maybe he's run into them?

9) General research about our path. I assume we'll work out the teleport travel thing, but it might be good to know something about the overland path on my map. And whichever way we go, we need to know more about what to expect when traveling through the Iron Peaks in Neth/Kuthona. IF we decide we need to go there right away, we're talking about possibly being in the heart of the mountain range near the start of winter. There's got to be stuff we'll want to have prepared for that.

Help me out here, people. I think of three things and forget two while I'm writing the first one down. What else should we consider? And this time, let's ACTUALLY get most of this basic stuff done before the session next week.

But no, I just don't think it's realistic here.

So I'm guessing that reasonably, this is a two-week journey for us to get to Jorgenfist. On the map, there is an alternate river route that passes north of the Sanos Forest. We'd cut east overland to Galduria, a decent trading town on Ember Lake. That's a 4 day trip. Then from Galduria, we travel up the Lampblack River to the Storval Stairs. We're traveling against the flow of the river, so I don't know what kind of time we make on that. I don't know much about the Storval Stairs (until Dothan makes a Geography check), but from the map and name, I'm guessing it's the most obvious pass up to the highlands/mountains. From there it looks like a couple days through the Iron Peaks to Jorgenfist.

If all goes well, it looks like:
Sandpoint to Galduria -- 4 days
Up the Lampblack River -- 5 days
Cross over to the Stairs -- 1 day
Through the mountains -- 2 days

Any of those might be a day longer or shorter, but figure 12-14 given the likelihood of distractions and complications along the way.

By the look of this map, this is almost certainly the way the giants came down to us, and hopefully Gunrus can confirm that. So therefore, my estimates above of the giants' travel time were probably off. Assuming they move about the same speed as our horses, and assuming they're better at mountain stuff than most of us, maybe they did it in 10. So if there's no magic communication involved going back to Mokmurian, then maybe we have a 3-4 week window before another force could arrive here.
