A very quick resume:
With the party's democratic consent, Francis slit Laeromir's throat and took the sword: A gem on the hilt flashed white, and a Magic Mouth on the sword went off saying: "Look for the masked man on the "I" mountain". [That could be "I" or "eye" or "Aye"].
The sword itself was very fine - but far too light for Francis to use. He handed it to Bazin in its scabbard for the time being.
The party managed to defend itself quite well against the Blink Dogs - killing 10 from the total of 15 that attacked us. Twoo nearly died flying (invisibly) up out of the gorge when he got lightning-bolted and magic-missiled by what turned out to be the Handler, who was waiting at the top of the gorge along with the Alpha and four 'javelin' Lizardman. Twoo survived the attack (just!) and flew down again - but it pinpointed the now visible Handler to Quercuis who was flying above - and she launched her devastating eagle-swoop-fast-strike-backstab which single-shotted the Handler (75 points of damage to a 36 point Handler!) The remaining mobs ran away.
