The fight was short but brutal. The gigantic frost-worm quickly swallowed, first Hwygar, then GrobKu and finally Grum. The inside muscles and the acid in the stomach threatened to kill them off, but they managed to hack their way out before it happened, killing the frost-worm in the process.
On they went, running into several abyssal snowstorms, before having to cross a huge bridge of ice spanning a bottomless chasm in the ground. But the Godsends were not easily cowed, and despite a fierce wind trying to push them off the bridge, they all managed to get safely to the other side.
There they spotted what looked like a small barbarian tribe in a temporary camp, fighting, drinking and cooking.
The Godsends approached carefully, and Calos managed to open a dialog with the barbarian leader, before anyone was killed. He challenged Calos to fight, in order to prove his worth. Calos quickly passed and gave GrobKu and Grum the opportunity. Grum started looking for a bird or a flying demon, so GrobKu stepped forward. And beat up the poor barbarian, chopping off his head at the end.
That seemed to go down well with the other barbarians, because the Godsends were allowed to stay and eat and party with Harkas and his small hunting party.

The next day, they even got a guide to show them where there were other "non-natives".
After a good 6 hour walk, the Godsends arrived at an area with ancient ruins littering a landscape also riddled with deep canyons. Sneaking in, they found a drow elf, along with 4 giants, seemingly waiting for something.
They snuck up close, made a strategy for the fight, and then jumped the completely surprised drow and giants. Due to superior tactics, the Godsends made a very tough much easier, and soon enough, they all lay dead at the Godsends' feet. But not before the drow let it slip that
"You are too late, Godsends! My master has the last piece of the Divine Engine, and must be on his way back. In fact, he should be here any minute now."Aside from the magical loot, there was also a bunch of non-magical scroll-cases.
