When the session started, the group noticed a set of statues standing before a large double door at the bottom of stairs. Sandru and Danicia moved forward to investigate these oddly placed decorations. Sandru moved closer and out of the corner of his eye noticed that the statues looked like they might be alive. He struck at one and found that it was more then a decoration. He and Danicia stepped up to tackle one of the statues while Sheliak, Cendrine and Ulf attacked the other statue. While the statues attacked and did might damage, they were no match for the party. With the threat being taken care of, Seoni and Darsus moved back to investigate the rooms they had passed by.

After destroying the statues, the rest of the group joined Seoni and Darsus in their investigation.Sandru and Danicia moved to the first door of a room and investigated it for traps. They found the door locked but did not find evidence of a trap. However, Seoni detected magic around the door which caused them to search further. They discovered the trap and were able to disable it, preventing a large air elemental from appearing in them. After unlocking the door they found a treasure room filled with wondrous things. After checking over the items, they went to the next room and found that it was storage for food for the inhabitants. There were a few rare wines and liquor that the group added to their collection of valuables.

The Storm Peace Keepers then headed to the double doors. They were unlocked, so the group prepared for battle before opening them. On entering the room they saw four fighters around a lovely human woman. Ulf recognized her as Thorbor Silverskoor, the head of the Rime Runners Guild who had questioned him over the last week. She smiled at them, stepped behind one of many screens in the room and disappeared from view. The four people vanished from sight and the fight began. Sheliak and others fired into the room while Sandru prepared to use air walk to move about. The four reappeared as they attacked the group, attempting to sneak attack the group. Another fighter, a woman, appeared as she threw a dagger at Ulf. Ulf felt his strength draining and took additional damage from the fighters.

Sandru walked up to the ledge and attacked the woman on the ledge. She used poison on her dagger as she attempted to attack. Danicia moved up and flanked on of the fighters while Cendrin also moved in. Sheliak helped with his bow and Darsus moved in to help heal and support the battle with his spear. Seoni stayed back with Ulrica and added magic in the attacks on the foes in the room. As the group continued the battle, a large female monster appeared and blasted the group with cold. The group fought the four and Ulf took additional damage. Darsus healed him and helped him overcome the poison that was draining his strength. Danicia continued her sneak attacks while Cendrine continued her solid hits against the foes.

During the next round the large monster flew up and away from the group, using a bow with extra flaming damage to attack. Darsus granted Danicia a fly spell so she could attack while Sandru chose to move away from his opponent to help out. Sheliak moved closer to use his bow while Ulf and Cendrin finished off the fighters who were left. When time allowed, Darsus summoned a spiritual ally to aid Danicia in her attacks. The other woman had vanished only to reappear for a sneak attack. Another two fighters appeared who threw shurikens against the ground. As the shurikens, hit, they gave out fire damage in a burst. Seoni was affected by this and they targeted her with their fiery bursts. The group closed in and the monster chose to return to the ground and deal damage with the magical tetsubo she carried. Although she dealt out a large amount of damage, she was no match for Ulf. He scored a critical hit and quickly took her down. The other two fighters were taken down while Darsus called upon his divine magic to heal the group. One of the enemies was returned to life long enough to be struck down again by Cendrine before he could re-enter the fray.

After the battle, the group found several items to add to their growing stash of items. Sandru also found out that another ability had been activated in the sword he carried, Suishen, since the group had defeated an oni of the Five storms. While searching the chamber, Cendrine found a secret door. The group prepared for battle and moved into the narrow hall. While Sandru listened at a locked door, he heard growling. WIth keys from the large creature, he unlocked the door and looked in. There were two large white wolves, growling at them. The group moved in and quickly killed one wolf. The other wolf blasted the group with cold and ran out of the room. The group tried to attack but was unable to hit it. However, it did not get far enough to avoid new attacks. In spite of the damage, it continued to run, but arrows shot by Sheliak finished off the wolf. The group found one more room and Ulf said it was the room where he had been imprisoned for the last week. With no other doors to be found, the group realized they had cleared Ravenscraeg of all of the evil denizens of the Rime Runner's guild.
n
After gathering up all of the treasure, the Storm Peace Keepers started off on their two day journey to Kalsgard. Halfway there, Seoni and Sandru felt ill. Darsus examined them and realized they had caught a disease from the undead they had fought the day before. With his help, the disease was remove before any damage was done. The rest of their trip finished uneventfully. When they found Sophia and Koya at the caravan wagons, they found out that the merchant Lute Haggersly, who they had released from Ravenscraeg, had returned and reported of the evil nature of the Rime Runner's merchant guild. The king, Sveinn Bloodeagle, heard of this and immediately distanced himself from the group. He dsuspends the RIme runners Guild's operations and seizes all of its assets while investigations are conducted. He also publicly distanced himself from his formerly cordial relations with the head of the guild, Thorborg Silverskorr.
n
With the find of Ulf for guidance and the sword Suishen, the group sold their treasure and started to prepare for their trip over the Crown of the World to the distant land of Minkai. The session ended here.
