| After the Battle of Niðaróss, an old dwarf named [[campaigns:latitude_history:characters:grimnar-ironvein|Grimnar Ironvein]] asked the heroes to look east toward the halls his people had lost. Stonehome had once belonged to a large dwarven clan, but the horde had driven them out and used the site as headquarters, war-wagon yard, and camp. Grimnar stayed in Niðaróss as sponsor, promising riches and magic if the halls could be scouted or reclaimed. | This page has moved to [[campaigns:latitude_history:adventures:the-lost-halls-of-hearthforge|The Lost Halls of Hearthforge]]. |

| The party did not take the slow road. They flew in Thordak's [[campaigns:latitude_history:lore:flying-karve|Flying Karve]], stopping at [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:selbu|Selbu]] and seeing the village burned out and looted. Farther on, they encountered two hill giants chasing worgs through the forest. Thordak's attack escalated the encounter into battle, Melody's magic made one giant monologue, and Thordak's Call Lightning injured a giant while also knocking nearby allies unconscious. The party killed the second giant, heard worgs howling, and fled upward on the flying boat. | |

| At [[campaigns:latitude_history:places:stonehome|Stonehome]], the old army camp outside the cave was mostly abandoned: old fire pits, remnants of occupation, and the cave mouth on the northern face of the southern mountain. Kris scouted invisibly and saw goblin guards at the entrance, but not the screaming devilkin watching from above. Inside, an Ogre Chain Brute waited roughly forty feet in. | |
| | |
| The approach quickly became dangerous. Thordak and Netheril tried disguises and intimidation, with Netheril appearing as an orc commander and Thordak using blood, a robe, and Goblin speech. Suspicion spread among the guards. Kris spoke with the ogre but could not convince it to leave or grant passage. Then Thordak lost patience and used his breath weapon, turning the attempted deception into a fight. | |
| | |
| The rest of the party was close enough to arrive quickly. Caleb used the Wand of Wonder and rolled Fireball, killing the goblin watch while badly damaging Thordak and Netheril. The devilkin descended, and the ogre was still a threat inside the cave. | |
| | |
| Then Sanura's Sending reached Thordak: "Ásgeirr was poisoned. He’s gone. Niðaróss is breaking apart--fighting in the streets. The unknown assassin vanished. We need you. Please return quickly, my friend." | |
| | |
| The Stonehome mission paused at the cave entrance with enemies engaged and Niðaróss suddenly in crisis. The halls were not yet reclaimed, but the party had learned that Stonehome was no empty ruin. | |
