Descending into the lower level, the brave group begins exploring and stumbles into a nasty slasing trap. While dealing with that, the party is separated and Droka is on his own. With all of the commotion, the real leader of Thistletop, the half demonic Nualla attacks Droka with her Yeth hound. Droka whacks the Yeth hound with his earthbreaker and takes it out in one shot. Soon, Droka is reinforced and the party slows backs Nualla into her lair. No match for the focused attention of the entire group, Nualla falls.
Exploring further, the party learns more about the history of Thistletop and discovers an ancient creature trapped. The barghest is insance and attacks with fury but does not survive the decision to do so. In the crypt, the party finds a few shadows which prove more troublesome. But Nim keeps the channeling going until they too fall. In the final cavern, Seamus jumps into the claws of a giant crab, so the rest of the party won't be grappled. The crab is a tough opponent, but Seamus is equally combat stubborn. The dinner menu was all-you-can-eat crab cakes.

Nobody Said There'd Be Tentacles
The party continues their exploration of Thistletop, and after several rooms find a courtyard full of goblin dogs. No match for the heroes of Sandpoint, the dogs are dispatched swiftly. The group discovers a starving war horse in the out building. With a little food, and some animal handling, the horse is made calm enough to be escorted out to the band's camp in the thickets. Moving through the rest of Thistletop, a passage to the lower levels is discovered.
Heading down, the party discovers a chapel with two flying, shadowy demon dogs. At their howling, Seamus felt like running down the halway. The rest of the party battles the hounds, and Seamus comes back and wades into the scrap. The hounds fall, but not after two supernaturally loud howls alert everyone on Thistletop that there are intruders.
Moving on the party encounters the 'longshanks' that the druid warned them about. Each in a wave the bugbear, fighter, and mage. Gathering the loot, the party makes it though the storage area and into a cavern open to the sea. Inside the cavern a strange tentacled squid monster lurks around the ceiling, the party moves in. No one succumbs to a tentacle grapple or the poison and the monster falls. Searching, the party discovers the room the attacks on Thistletop were planned in.

Barbarians at the Gate
The party launches the assault on the gate with an invisible charging dwarf brawler. Distracted, the goblins on guard were no match for the party. Quickly moving inside the party takes out two more goblins and explore there way up to the throne room of the goblin chief, Ripnugget. Bursting in, Droka and Seamus tie up the goblin commandos in the middle of the room. The rest of the group deals with the warchanter and chief Ripnugget. The warchanter is subdued early, but Ripnugget proves formidable. Charging across the room on a giant gecko, the party finds it difficult to bring him down. Ultimately the band succeeds against the goblins, and retreats into a side room to regroup after the taming of the gecko.
