As the Swords explore the Warrens, they are ambushed by a Night Hag playing hide and seek with them. She quickly possesses Torn, but just as quickly, he gets rid of her. A short battle follows, and at the end, the Night Hag is dead meat.
Further in, they find King Skalmad in his throne room. He is there along with a few ghostly trolls, but with an impressive display of power, the trolls are run over and the fight is over before they know of it. However, as the Swords kill Skalmad, he once again disappears in a flash of light, warning them that he will return stronger than ever before.
A quick search of the throne room reveals that the throne itself seems to be a portal that via three impulses (magical, physical and mental) should send you somewhere. After some testing and thinking, the Swords gather together and are sent to what so far appears to be an semi-abandoned Fomorian Iron Fortress in the Feydark (Underdark of the Feywild).
Arriving in one of the towers, they move along the empty ramparts, to the other tower. In there they run into 3 Cyclops, all of which are run over in much the same fashion as the King. They enter the main castle building and begin to explore. Soon enough, they hear some talking and go to investigate. The voices speak in elf, and talk about a “Master” who needs to know the failure of Skalmad. As the Swords rush in to surprise those speaking, they find themselves facing a Fomorian and a Cyclops, but also Zeke is there. Hanging in a big birdcage, chained and definitely hurting.

Lordday 5th Nauvambor
The very next morning, the Swords are kicked out of their beds and told that the attack is happening. It is now time to head over the wall, using Water Breathing to get close to the command tent in order to kill the last leader, the Fomorian. The tent was guarded by around 14 goblins, but they were quickly dispatched. One however did manage to get away, and soon the Swords were engaged with the Fomorian, his mindflayer crony and a couple of ancient wights he summoned. The fight was long and hard, and the Swords were literally drained after dealing with the wights. But victory was ensure, and the battle for Moondoor finally turned in the favor of the Eladrin allies.
The battle being over, the Swords spent a few days resting on their laurels, checking out the library of the Eladrin, searching for information on a wide range of subjects.
Tirsday 8th Nauvambor
The Swords head out once again, towards the Troll Warren in order to stop the Troll King before he assembles his forces and strike back. As they arrive, it becomes evident that this hasn’t happened yet. In the guard room, they do meet some resistance, in the form of a group of goblins, but they are quickly dispatched, with no one left alive.

Freeday 4th Nauvambor
Early next morning, the Swords begin their next mission which is to kill the leaders of the Troll army. They sneak out, go through the secret passage in the walls, and emerge behind enemy lines after having used magic to locate the captain. From there they sneak past a few guards (one of them a snoring troll) and move the tower where the first captain is. A short and furious fight follows inside the tower, where the Swords surprise the drow and his guards in the middle of some wine. After killing him, he is tossed outside, for the army to find him. As planned, the Swords release a warning signal, setting off an attack by the Eladrins on the now leaderless part of the army. As the battle goes on, the other leader shows up. He is a two-headed troll cleric of the Keeper, who drags along with his Oni friends. After a long and grueling battle, with several Swords being close to death, they are victorious. But they are exhausted and will have to wait with the last captain/leader.

Torsday 3rd Nauvambor
After a good night’s rest, the Swords were asked to find an old eladrin called the Lorekeeper and bring him back to the Council. Using passwall to access a secret passage in the town walls, they moved around unhindered to the other side of town. They exited the wall and quickly found the tower in which the Lorekeeper would be. As it turned out, he was a bit of an odd bird, and refused to follow them back. He had more important things to do.
They did find out a few things about the eye of the King (a formorian artifact) and realized that there might be more artifacts involved in this mess. Eventually they had to drag him out of the tower. Just outside, Torn’s newfound oracle abilities warned them just seconds before some goblins, a troll with a penchant for swinging a huge anchor and a treant came around the corner.
They managed to kill them, although some did get tossed quite a bit around in the process. Moving on, through the secret passages, they had to exit before arriving to the Council’s area, as they had no way to make a passwall again. Just outside, they ran into a troll riding on a wyvern, accompanied by a couple of very fast moving quicklings. They didn’t last too long either, so eventually the Swords all arrived safe and sound back in the Council’s castle.
