The army was en route to Jalahand's village, passing close to a tiny goblin hamlet. The hamlet's orc chieftain rode up to the PCs and promised his warriors (one extra unit of goblins) to help in their fight if they would help him remove the cause of the disease that was devastating his village.
The PCs traced the diseased stream back to an underground cave where piles of rotting animal and goblin corpses formed a habitat for two otyughs and two carrion crawlers. Further into the cave complex they found a mind flayer and its minions, a wyvern and a flesh golem.
They defeated the mind flayer and its minions, although the mind flayer itself managed to get away by using a psionic teleportation power. In the mind flayer's lair they found another half-complete flesh golem, along with a book of instructions for making such golems.
Ug died in the battle with the flesh golem. Grim and Verschoyle hurried to Graywall with his body, leaving Zumm in charge of the army. On the way they encountered the gnoll reinforcements on their way to Jalahand's village, bluffed them into thinking that Jalahand was dead, and paid them off to go back to Graywall.
In Graywall they found a gnoll druid who could reincarnate Ug, but his soul refused to return. While there, Verschoyle made friends with a tiefling wizard (whose name, I have just decided, was Tharrad Katarn). He also rescued Merred Nastor, the Silver Flame cleric, by fighting in the arena on his behalf.
