Notes
More guards and quaggoth are gathering to defend the vault and southern passages. Rahm Pibb, tiefling bard, changes their minds with fireball. But some darkdwarves are smart. They become invisible instead of very big. They try to ambush us when we engage with other defenders, yet they struggle with the *mafah'liki* spirits that guard the party. Perhaps another dozen darkdwarfs guard the treasure vault hallway and 3 hammerer machines block the door. These Shield and Gold dwarves, they show no fear or concern for their wounds as they leap into the teeth of the enemy and break them with steel and courage. I am much impressed with results of this *cayana* tactic. They all fight well, but I am not sure how much more I can cast without rest. With dwarves back in their equipment of good craftsmanship, we work together to surprise and strike down the darkdwarf leader Markoz and his subchiefs. Only opportunity for justice is for Markoz to face trial by combat. Almost a score of dwarves, goliath, and adventurers is maybe not fairest odds, but outcome was same. We learn that darkdwarf priest of Deep Duerra is source of Markoz's insane plans and plans for chardalyn dragon. Pekoe uses his abilities as doppelganger to pose as Fake Markoz. Tells priest story about interrogation going bad and needing healing for guard captain he is torturing. Is good lie. Priest does not suspect anything as Pekoe strikes him in back of head. Should be lethal blows to critical place in head... but darkdwarf priest is not actually dwarf. Is Barbed devil in priest suit wearing disguise hat.
