Still Adventuring North

As we were flying through the night I suddenly woke to a yell from somewhere. I didn't know what language it was but it sounded urgent. Sam and I looked over the edge of the slab and saw chaos down below. quite a few dark shadows were approaching a group of dwarves. Not wanting to leave, what could be possible friends, in peril I jumped from the slab to join the fight quickly. I collided with a troll or an ogre...I can never tell them apart and I think I broke a few ribs when I hit him. Surprisingly I was able to right myself after slamming into it. The battle itself took no time at all, a fire horse came out of nowhere and burned most of the orcs where they stood. I have no idea where it came from but I'm glad I wasn't caught in the blaze, the orcs all died almost instantly from it. Once we righted ourselves from the tussle the dwarves introduced themselves. I had personally never seen a female dwarf in my travels, her beard was way more impressive than mine!
 
Apparently the troop was looking for a noble, their description sounded very similar to a "goblin" that we had picked up earlier. Not really being the best of friends with the creep I quickly tried to get his attention to have him come down off the slab. After trying to steel the slab and the goblin wizard, the slab was quickly turned over by the wizard and the "goblin" came falling down. Aerilyn somehow convinced him to talk to her, from what I overheard it seemed like Aerilyn had known this creature for a long time. I didn't ask to many questions though because I don't really understand what all happened between the two.
 
After getting enough information to get a good picture of what was going on Aerilyn and K handed the "goblin" over to the dwarves. Wanting to help them we followed them to the portal that the goblin possibly came through. Hoping to get a short cut to the north. After the Sam, Aerilyn and Noelani almost killed themselves keeping the portal open we managed to get the slab and everyone through in time before it closed.
