This FG game session begins on day 16 of Autumn Dark ("November" to use real earth terms) in the year 351 AC - this FG game sessions ends in the daytime of day 17 of that month. However the FG game session "continues" in a sense on this thread :
whatifdragonlancedm.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=forumroleplay&action=display&thread=860&page=1
During which the heroes bed down for the night - minus Rin and Serinda.. then wake up the following morning with Rin and Serinda returned to them... meaning that the next FG game session will start on day 18 (in the daytime) of the month of Autum Dark.
During this past FG game session :
Rin and Serinda succeed in triggering an avalanche blocking the Great South Road that the dragonarmies were going down - while not the easiest road to traverse it's still the least difficult path to follow through the mountains, a route now closed to the dragonarmies (meaning that the dragonarmies will be slowed as they detour around the road travelling around the more difficult-to-traverse territory). Rin and Serinda noted that there are no dragons flying with the pursuing dragonarmies that they can see.
Before Serinda could launch an attack on the dragonarmies Rin's wild chaos magic surged out of control once again - his use of the "shout" spell resulted in huge uncontrolled sonic blasts from his beak that propelled him backwards through sheer force.. the rope monster (whom Rin has now named "Loopy") appeared once again , another uncontrolled manifestation of Rin's chaos magic, and bodily dragged Rin away at a rapid speed lecturing Rin all the while about Rin being willing to face (and quite possibly be killed by) the 5,000 dragonarmy soldiers in pursuit of them ..Rin's theory is that Loopy is a manifestation of Rin's subconsciousness that is most likely to appear when Rin is in danger...
Unable to keep up with the rope monster's speed, Serinda instead teleported to the Tower of High Sorcery where she was given a mirror by a friend (
Does Serinda consider Ancreta a friend? Let me know Serinda 
) that would allow her to use her scrying spell to locate the other heroes and teleport herself to them.. thus she and Rin arrived at roughly the same time, day 17 (Loopy travelled all night - Rin was able to sleep it was a surprisingly comfortable ride) , at the spot where the other heroes (Zane, Forman, Draug and Udyr) were, still looking after the other human refugees.. this also marks the first FG game session that Udyr has been in .
The heroes decide to travel directly to Skullcap to find the relic within that supposedly contains clues revealing the location of Thorbardin, mountain home of a large city of dwarves and a hopeful place of safety and shelter for the 1500 human refugees the heroes rescued from Pax Tharkas earlier (that the dragonarmies now hope to recapture). The heroes sent the NPC's of note (Laurana, elven princess and Zane's love.. Christania, rogue and Rin's love.. Moons Shadow, barbarian warrior woman and Udyr's.. bed-buddy? Don't think Udyr's been with her long enough to be in love but I could be wrong let me know
) off with the dwarf guide from the village of hill dwarves, Grist Coppertoe (now a - first level - cleric of Reorx after reading the Disks of Mishakal Zane let him peruse) , to guide the refugees to the valley the hill dwarves mentioned with plenty of game , plants to eat and drinking water - unfortunately said valley won't provide much in the way of defensive shelter when the dragonarmies catch up with them.. in the meantime however it's a place for the refugees to eat and rest while they wait for the heroes.
On the way to skullcap the heroes meet two friendly stone giants, Castrun and Fliara ... the stone giants are descendents of stone giants the evil Black Robed wizard Fistaldanius, former owner of Skullcap before it and he was engulfed in a magical explosion that presumably killed Fistaldanius, experimented on,causing Castrun and Fliara to be 25 feet tall.. the heroes show the giants the miracle of true healing, proving to them that the gods have returned and making the stone giants much more likely to believe in the tales of the dragons (and the dragonarmies) that the heroes tell the stone giants. They try having the stone giants read the disks of mishakal to no avail - the giants cannot read (no stone giant clerics unfortunately - though it is a good thing the PC's are trying to spread the word of the gods 
) ..
Fliara (the female stone giant) leaves to go keep the 1500 refugees company at the valley they're headed to .. Castrun (the male stone giant) picks the heroes up and walks with them towards skullcap , initially allowing them to travel at a quick pace.. unfortunately Tadhg the troll wizard shows up demanding that Rin surrender and turn himself over to the Tower of High Sorcery as an "unsanctioned user of the magic arts" .. the stone giant tribe Castrun belongs to has feared arcane magic ever since their ancestors were experimented on over 300 years ago by Fistaldanius - screaming like a girl Castrun runs away leaving the heroes to fend for themselves.
A fight erupts between Tadhg and the heroes ... Forman attacks the troll with his hands and fists, Udyr injures the troll with magical (druidic) fire and Zane injures the troll with acid.. the troll orders Serinda to assist him in capturing the "renegade" Rin - instead Serinda uses her magics to counter the troll's own when he attacks the heroes with a non-lethal damage (the troll wizard uses a feat for this ) fireball yet again (he'd already hit them with one before doing a huge amount of non-lethal subdual damage ) .. blustering the troll accuses her of treason.. Draug unsuccessfully tries to hide from the troll ... Rin tells the heroes to stop attacking and to knock it off then voluntarily surrenders to the troll ... Loopy the rope monster tries to appear once again to grab Rin (Rin tries to mentally fight Loopy's re-appearance to no avail) but Serinda manages to teleport Rin, herself and Tadhg off to the Tower of High Sorcery first... the aftermath of this can be found at, as mentioned above :
