Looks like I forgot to make the last entry of last year. Here goes.... (we're back tonight)
Returning to the caverns proved fruitless. The giants had removed the bodies of their fallen and fled, carrying what they could. Some young white dragons had been released into the caves to delay us, but these were quickly dealt with. Other finds were some human captives in the kitchens who while grateful to be freed could tell us little, and a giantess of yet another type (Storm?) held captive as some form of hostage or intended concubine for the frost giant king. This last was able to tell us a little about the giants near the volcano, apparently their leader is a cruel despot. In gratitude for her freedom she agreed to escort the humans back to their settlement, as we could not transport them all.
Divinations proving inconclusive the only remaining option is to pull the lever. Our trackers say the frost giants left through the exit beyond it, one may have used it and vanished (teleported). With some reason to expect the environment and denizens on the other side to be hot rather than cold we have again returned to the castle to re-equip.
Moriana has chosen to leave us at this point, embarking on a quest to return dwarven remains found in the giants' trophy chamber to their rightful home.
