June 1 Recap

Hey everybody,
In case you weren't able to be with us on Thursday, here's a brief rundown of what we did and found out:
We cast a Sending to Conna, who told us that she would be able to slip away and join us in a few hours, leading us to believe that, despite Mokmurian's defeat, things were still progressing in the floors above.
Conna joined us, and we first asked her for her wishes as far as the disposition of Mokmurian's remains. She said that he did not warrant the traditional burial rites of their people, so that we should burn his body and spread his ashes somewhere and tell no one where they were spread. She did ask us, however, to retain his head, as it might prove useful in dispersing the giants encamped outside.
She also told us that while she believed many of his followers would listen to her and would follow her lead in her son's absence, there remained forces loyal to him in the levels above that would need to be dealt with before she could present herself at the meeting of the clans at noon the following day.
We all rested, and then began to progress back through the fortress. First off, we used the medallion that was around Mokmurian's neck to open the locked door outside of his lair. Inside we discovered a beautifully appointed library attended by a clockwork construct that addressed us in Thassilonian and asked us what works we would like to see. We requisitioned several tomes, but realizing that time was an issue, informed the attendant that we would return shortly.
We believe that it is in the early morning at this point, and that we have roughly 3 to 4 hours to defeat Mokmurian's lieutenants before Conna can attempt to convince the remaining giants to leave this land and never return. She told us that there are 2 lamia priestesses who worship Lammashtu in the level above, and a cruel giant who held to Mokmurian's ways that would need to be dispatched. Also, of note, the lamiae have red dragons in attendance that are roughly the size of the one who attacked Sandpoint. It is unclear at this juncture whether or not the dragon that attacked Sandpoint is one of the two who attend the lamiae.
We agreed that we should try to remove the giant lieutenant first, as he was more likely to be alone. We traversed back through the lower level of Jorgenfist and found a set of stone doors that we could not open. Anna used one of the new spells at our disposal, Passwall, to make a tunnel through them. We found a large room with a loose dirt floor and 6 (or 8) posts in it that reached from floor to ceiling. Attached to each post was a chained, dead, goblin, all of whom seem to have been branded with an iron that we found in the room. The only other adornment in the room was a large Sihedron star on the north wall and another on the floor. Dwyn dragged Lucille through the star on the floor, and an enormous, rune-covered giant emerged from beneath in response.
We ended there, ready to engage said giant, before we attack the lamiae and their attendants.
Hope this was helpful! See you all in 2 weeks!
