The heroes rush to the nearby gnoll hideout where Korzinalikur's children are held captive.
They pass the "all clear" message to the gnoll sentry who delivers the message to the leaders not to kill Korzinalikur's children. The heroes hunker down and wait for the sentry to return. They slaughter him and make their way into the gnoll cave.
The Silver Elites battle their way through several waves of gnolls and finally reach a dark chamber in the back of the lair. Here they meet the stiffest resistance: a powerful gnoll brute, several archers and a bizarre creature from the Far Realm, a grell.
The gnolls and their grell ally push the heroes to the absolute limit, but after several of the heroes fall, near death, they finally manage to overcome the challenge. Battered, bloodied and bruised, they find and rescue two young copper dragons . . . and find the picked bones of three others in the well where the grell laired.
Back at the fort of Prospect Hill the heroes present Korzinalikur with her living children and the bones of the dead. The enraged dragon turns on the captive Chevoks and eats him; feet first. Having disposed of the evil warlock, the dragon gives the Silver Elites several magic items from her hoard, including the Brow of Falgrim. She promises to be a protector over Prospect Hill and come to the heroes' aid at need.
Now, back to Stonehome . . .
