The party get a peaceful night's kip following the Blink Dog attack, and learn spells (and create new cont-light rocks) in the morning. Francis notices evidence that a single humanoid scouted our camp around dawn - it had the scent of a (Ghoulaggaban) Orc according to Kirsten.
The village to our south (at 199.045) is 'alive' and inhabited - but as we suspect this is an Orcish village, we decide to cross the river immediately at 198.043 and that travel parallel with it to the south west. Khurak spots a party of about 4 humanoids to the north who are heading purposefully to the south - so we continue moving south west and they do not appear to change course to intercept us.
However, during the night, our watch detects humanoids (badly) scouting the camp, and after a bit of faffing about (and a bit of persuasion from Caradoc) four humanoids (2 humans currently sporting Mirror Images, a Dwarf and an Ariel) come into our campsite. They are dishevelled, slightly malnourished and very twitchy/jittery. Their leader (one of the mages) is wearing a PathFinder cloak.
They claim to be a group of ex-civilians, recruited by Ghode (who gave them the cloak) to investigate the 'Mad Giant' of Torgan, and having found him, follow up on whatever leads he provides. Unfortunately, as soon as they found him in his cave, he put up a Wall of Stone and there was nothing more they could do. They hung around the area in some caves in the hills, living off 'Create Food & Water' - but with no apparent foraging skills it was a meagre existence. 
Then they saw a vast undead army approaching Torgan with a large flying 'thing' overhead completely clouded in darkness - StarStorm. However, this army and flying city was opposed by an army of Giants marching out of Torgan supported by a flying city bearing Alvera's royal banners - StarPort. They then saw StarPort deliberately ram StarStorm - destroying both flying cities as well as the undead army and the hordes of 'black flappy things' (vampires) that emerged from StarPort. As Alvera was assumed to be aboard StarPort, it is believed that Alvera and most of his Sky Knights are dead.
The timing of the destruction of the two cities coincides with the major magical disturbance and earth tremors we experienced previously.
Following this, the group decided their mission was over, and tried to leave - but found themselves teleported to an unknown area, from where they decided to head south in the hope of getting back to civilisation - and they ran into us.
Joshua believes that they are telling the truth as they see it, but that they are somewhat unstable and probably suffering from PTSD. They are very grateful for the 'real' food that we provide.
