Plans laid, the group departs the frosty realms and travels along the roads back towards the Giant’s Causeway.

They arrive and make their way to the site of the reading, a large feasthall on the western bank of the river. The cleric, paladin and plucky elf watch from the balcony while Lad, Bababobo and the Malformed One scan the crowd from the rear of the place.
