8th moon, 28th day, year 4554
With a runner gone, the brothers felt they had no choice but to enter the caves. However, before long, they spot - or rather the magical owl does - some giants making way towards them. The T'orghs run back out and Nalfein plants (haha) a wall of thorns right as the 8 giants arrive, so that their force in split in two. The dark elf brothers start killing off those giants on their side of the wall, but before they can kill them all, the frost giant "king" and his shaman as well as a couple of guards manage to get through the wall of thorns. Luckily for them, Nalfein offs him immediately with a Phantasmal Killer, while Tagar and Jegred tear through the remaining giants helped by another wall, this time of fire.
No sooner that the brother take a breather and the wall of fire shuts down before more giants arrive. The brothers balance on the edge, and Jegred is (once again) killed. Yet they somehow manage to kill the all and then run for the woods in order to hide and rest.
8th moon, 29th day, year 4554
The next morning, they return only to find the remaining giants (all 17 of them) in the middle of making some sort of giant (haha) ritual. The brothers decide to attack them and somehow manage to win the battle, but not before the giants offer their souls to Coldbreath for vengeance. Tagar informs that Coldbreath is one of the oldest, biggest and meanest white dragons in the wold.
The T'orghs hurry inside the cavern system in order to find treasure. As they find the loot, Coldbreath arrives and starts hunting them in the cave system. The T'orghs grab whatever can be in the portable hole and dimension door back out into the woods.
When they return later, the white dragon is sitting atop a huge frozen pile of frost giants, which usually means that they are getting prepped for dinner, according to Tagar.

Posted with Blogsy33rd session: The Ice Symbol (part one)
8th moon, 14th day, year 4554
The Torgh's use their newly acquired portal room (due specifically to the portal room, Father has decided to take over the Jhalavar palace and installed Hu'ar there) and beam to the temple with the symbol room. There they activate the ice symbol, and learn that they must harvest the heart of every single member of the Icebear clan and burn the hearts on the altar in Menzo.
Tagar informs the others that the Icebear clan is probably up north of Laketown, near a volcano called Blackhole. Nalfein is skeptical.
8th moon, 22nd day, year 4554
Returning to Menzo (with 50 new orc minions in tow), they once again use the portal room, this time to land in the hills south of Laketown.
8th moon, 23rd day, year 4554
The T'orghs stop by Laketown, to investigate. They learn that the Icebears are one of the most powerful frost giant clans in the area, and that they live on the north side of the extinct volcano called Blackhole Volcano.
8th moon, 28th day, year 4554
After some day of traveling, where the most scary monster they encounter is a mountain lion, they enter the frost giants' territory and ambush a couple of giants, killing them quickly. They investigate further, and find a plateau at an altitude of more than 2 miles, and behind a pine forest, they find the huge entrance to the giant lair. The brothers attack the giants outside, killing eight before proceeding inside, or rather, luring some more outside. They finish those off as well, but one escapes and runs into the cave....

The portal room
After investigating the portal room, the following is known:
There are 7 portals. The use of a portal is possible by anyone who holds a portal key. 23 portal keys were recovered. In order to work, they need to be aligned with the portals, so your uncle has now re-aligned the portals and keys so that if more keys exists elsewhere, they are useless.
The 6 portals who are linked to a specific location work in the same way. You activate the portal with the key, and about 10 minutes later, it opens up an inter-dimensional door to the portal on the other side for you and anyone touching you. The portals can be used in reverse.

- Darkfort, drow city (in a secret cave about 2 miles north of Darkfort)
- Laketown (secret cave in hills south of Laketown)
- Blackwell (secret cave in hills north of Blackwell)
- Hope (secret cave in hills north-west of Hope)
- Ched Cinly, dark elf city (secret cave on Mount Heavenly)
- Ungraeth, dark elf city (secret cave on Mount Mayan)
The seventh portal, who isn't linked to a specific location works somehow differently. By focusing on a place you know well enough to picture in your mind, you can open the portal there after about 1 hour.
