On second thought – donkeys are fun – so while the humans trail along behind them, the rest of the elves ride the donkeys to the R & R spot, then deploy eyeballs the following ‘morning’. They find a gymnasium, a bunch of cave bears and an empty throne of very large size. The eye presses on and investigates further.
A series of cliffs surround a large mithril spire…and floating above the spire – enclosed in a bubble of magic – is a tiny castle. Scuffling around the bottom of the cliff-lined depression in the stone is a large and muscular stone giant.
The group eventually arrives in the flesh and makes contact. The giant informs them that his family lives down here – but he seems utterly unaware of the tiny dwelling floating above him.
The group talks for a while and then parts ways with the stoney one. They do some slow flybys of the castle – making sure to stay outside the magic bubble – and eventually start dropping things into the field. Objects that enter the bubble shrink to a tiny size – but objects that leave the bubble resume their normal stature. This is a positive sign. Eventually, the group flies into the bubble and watches as the castle expands in size. They land atop the roof and quickly discover a secret hatch that leads them into a supply closet at the base of a steep stair. There they sit, wait and plot their next moves.
