Zack and belle are woken up by some goblin children playing behind them. They seemingly fell asleep by the fire late last night. They look around to see who is all up. They see gargoyle and Kyra entering the cave.

"Hey where were you guys at? Asks a curious Zack.

"We scouted ahead and we think we may have found a way up for the top." Said Gargoyle while pulling out a piece of parchment paper. A crudely drawn map is then displayed to the group. "The goblin chief told us this morning that there's a glowing purple door up there. He drew the map." Gargoyle leaning in whispering that part.

"So your telling me we gotta go back up towards that big feller, I'm not sure my old ticker can keep this up." Guntar said chuckling a bit.

"We have no choice we must get to that portal at all costs, our guilds are awaiting our reports." Zack said sipping his morning tea.

They have a nice breakfast with there goblin traveling companions. After wards they pack up and start to exit the cave. It's still pretty early the sun just about to peek over the valleys below. It's actually quite cold out before the sun gazes on the mountain. There breathe is visible, the goblin children are pretending to be dragons, using there breathe weapons on the group. Guntar being the good he is grabs onto his chest and falls over dead. Only pretending of course.

The arrive on the giants front step once again. Only this time there is no door, since he threw it at them the day before. He is seen sleeping in his crudely made bed.

"He looks to be asleep we should hurry on past." Said belle.

"Good idea let's press on then quickly before we stir the giants ire once more." Zack replied.

The group continues skulking by the giants home along the wall of the mountain. Up ahead is a thin walk way as they start to accent the mountain. The air is getting thinner harder to breathe. The sun coming over the horizon at last. The warmth of it caressing them as they scale this rigid thin pass. They make it to another buttress on the mountain, taking a small break once arrived.

"Sorcerers are not meant to climb up cliffs." Exclaims belle ringing out her cloak of sweat.

"What's the big deal climbing inst that hard." Snorts gargle.

"Now now everyone has there strengths and weaknesses, let's not pick on each other." Zack said trying to keep the peace.

Guntar is on the side of the group panting and sweating profusely Kyra seeing this goes to check on him.

"Are you alright guntar? You look to be a pit pale."

"I'm alright lassy, nothing a nice cold ale won't fix, we're almost home."

"Well should we continue on?" Zacks fields the group."

"Zack we go different way now. Over there is a path down big rock back way. Thanks for help against big man." The goblin chief sais and then bows to the group, in a similar fashion to how gorgyle did back when he was trying to smooth over the goblins.

The groups come together hugging, shaking hands and shedding tears. After the hood byes are said they part ways. The goblins heading around the bend and disappearing from

Sight. The party determined to get home, continues there climb. They arrive at a very steep cliff side, it's rocky along it's wall, plenty grab onto however the climb up is well over 200 feet.

Gargoyle is the first to start climbing check for dangerous areas to grab onto, creating a visual path for the other to follow.

Kyra directly after remember mostly where gargoyle climbed. The two make it up to the next ridge by the time the others get half way. The two take the rope the have, as well as some pickaxes to secure a safe rope for the others to use.

"Thank the gods, my fingers were bleeding!" Belle said teary eyed as she grabbed onto the rope.

The three start to climb with the aid of the rope in single file tying it around there waists, first belle, then guntar, with Zack at the rear.

Zack decides to take a peak down below, he is startled by what he sees.

The giant is out side of his cave just waking up. Stretching his arms out right as if he were reaching for the sun.

"Nobody look but are friend is awake. Zack said gripping the rope tightly.

"What do you mean our friend. AAGH!"

Belle screams as she loses her grip. As she quickly grabs on to the rope and wall for dear life she kicks lose several rocks.

Those rocks then careening below falling on the giants head not hurting him at all, however does make him look up. He puts his hand on his forehead blocking out the sunlight to get a better view.

"IS THAT YOU, DAMNED THEIVES, YOU TOOK ALL MY PRETTIES.

The giant scooping up lose rocks in his hand filling it all.

"CLIMB NOW QUICKLY!!" Zack screams with urgency.

The giant winds up his hand whipping the loose rocky debris!

Belle makes it over the edge pulled up by gots glue and Kyra. Next guntar gets a leg over the edge the three pull him up. They all look down. They see Zack about 10 feet away. And right behind him are the rocks flying at incredible speed.

"Shield!!" Screams belle trying to block the impact.

From a birds view near the top of the mountain a huge explosion of force is seen smoke and dust filling the air.
