Commentary: 

This session started out with a jailbreak, as the party took down Granny Maw's bugbear flunky and the gnoll guard dogs and set the human captives, a bunch of hapless Strangeldorfers, free. 

Then they climbed back up the tower and took down the cyclops who'd been hired on to replace the hill giant they'd whacked a couple weeks ago. I kinda think he went down the same way his predecessor did, or maybe I had it such that his jewel eye absorbed Magic Missiles and they just ganked him in the old fashioned way, with a lot of chopping and stabbing. My description in this email went back to a more terse style, so I can't rightly recall. 

I cribbed the design of this session's monocular menace from one of the Thousand Year Sandglass adventures I ran at Helgacon 2013, The Valley of the Living Idols, which will be appearing in Book 2 of that series, when I get around to publishing it. 

So keep an eye out for it. ;)

Stay tuned for Wednesday when things heat up at Cardille Keep.
