They rescued Faustina and one of her men from a burning building inside the fort after the battle.

They spent the next 10 days helping them rebuild and fortify.

Noah made magic armor for Dylan's animal companion.

Tori used his skill as a stonemason and engineer to rebuild and even improve the defenses of the fort.

He added a bunch of stone domes that will provide protection from flaming missiles, like the ones the Ash Giants like to hurl.

They had Faustina cast Speak With Dead on the Serpent Folk Mage and asked it…
 * 1) Why are you in league with the Ash Giants?
 * 2) "The bargain was struck to give us an army waiting to help us retake the surface and to give them the benefits of our illusionary magic to cover the movements of their troops."
 * 3) Where is your lair?
 * 4) "It is beneath you!  We control the world beneath!"
 * 5) Where is your next attack?
 * 6) "The Village to the North East."
 * 7) When is your next attack?
 * 8) "As soon as we finish off this pesky fort."
 * 9) What is the size and composition of your army?
 * 10) "We have thousands of troops that cannot stand the harsh surface light, but we have several hundred that we have bred to retake the surface.  They are made up of infiltrators, hunters and mages like myself."

Dylan found gnomish tracks around the fort.

He also found one of his hairs and used it to aid a scry spell.

The overheard Thung Shayang give a report on their progress to Grep:

"Our flocks continue to grow in Bulgen and Vinsaan, but the Patrons in Luken continue to oppose us."

They went back to Khina to check on the village and once they saw everything was fine, went to the one entrance to the serpent folk lair they were able to find.

They fought a gorgon on the way.

They fought their way into the entrance and managed to kill the guards before they sounded the alarm.
