2.1 Triboar
The party descends the cloud staircase from Zephyros' Tower, and makes their way into the town of Triboar. Supposedly named after some guy in the olden days managed to kill three boars in one day nearby, the town is an agricultural community surrounded by farms and ranches. The players remember that the ex-husband of the proprietor of the Lion's Share in Triboar perished in the attack on Nightstone, and find the shop right away to give her the bad news.
The players explore the town and meet various characters, including Narth Tezrin, who helps run the Lion's Share. Ghelryn Foehammer is the crotchety dwarf smith from down the road, and Urgala Meltimer from the North Shield House, a respectable inn. Othovir is the town harness maker but doesn't have much to say, and Darz Helgar is the creepy dude who rakes turds from yards. After learning all this, the party makes arrangements to stay at the North Shield House, then immediately go to the nearest bar with a hole in the roof.
2.2 Attack on Triboar
Suddenly, the town erupts in a great panic. Sweeping forth from the northeast is a force of orcs, lead by two fire giants. Orcs riding axebeaks sweep into town ahead of two squads of magmins and a group of orogs. The axebeaks wreak havoc on the town, whose guards the Lord Protector had just dispatched to deal with threats out on the countryside. Undefended, the town began to burn as the magmins began to torch fields and buildings.
The characters are unhappy with this, and Niv attracts the attention of one of the giants. This earns him a boulder, which prompts his retreat from the battlefield for a few moments. Total chaos breaks out as the town and adventurers rally to the defense.
The giants were after something, and seemed to follow some sort of magical divining rod into town to begin digging in the middle of Darz' field. A bloody fight with orogs and the giants ensue, during which time Softhands disrupts their digging by dropping a darkness upon the dig site. Starman gets everyone back in the fight, and in a torrent of rage, magic and dirty tricks the defenders of Triboar (incredibly) manage to kill the two giants and disperse the orc raiding party.
Afterward, the hole the giants were digging was found to contain a strange piece of manufactured adamantite about eleven feet long, almost free from the ground.
