"Right now I was hoping to feed them so they wouldn't turn on us. In the long run I don't know for sure. If we free them what's to stop them from feeding on nearby villages and towns? Keeping them imprisoned in the pits also doesn't seem quite right."
Banzo waits to see if anyone else has any other ideas.
"I think this may be what they were fed." he shows the others what he found when looking for their food.

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
"Perchaps we can feed them now and vhen ve see her, ask Eenwynn what she vould like to do width them. Perchaps they could be reformed if given better treatment. She also may be able to speak width dem."
"I cannot connect to the humanoid," Tannin says puzzled "It seems, almost metallic, in body and mind." he looks over to Bob, and says mentally "Hello?"

There is a loud gulping sound far below and the gargantuan blubberous bulk moved, far more quickly than expected out of the cave gazing upwards as if searching for something, wide nostrils flared....
"I must put these poor souls to rest." Tzedaka pulls out her holy symbol and begins performing last rights on the remains, releasing the poor souls for their terrible death here.
The work of clearing and rejuvenating the ancient halls of Firetop mountain fell to the Heroes of Chalice and they worked diligently to do so, the companions first felled the undead vampire who claimed to have been invited by Zagor as an ambassador.....but he took a little too much interest in eating the companions so was reduced to ash.
The black steel blade of Darkblade Skullbiter one of the fiercest Champions of Chaos is found hanging on the wall of the abandoned goblin warrens, Garet makes safe a large number of pit-traps, he also falls prey to a wasting curse placed on a wall by Zagor but is cured by Zagor, Banzo discovers a strange chair that magically affixes anyone sitting up on it and over time shrinks them down and converts them into a wooden carving of themselves to adorn the chair, the Champions gain access to Firetops Sewers and are forced to exterminate the highly aggressive swarm of giant rats that lived there, the Heroes prevailed against the insane captive Greater Medusa, stumble upon Zagors former chefs( an orc and a dwarf ) who immediately try to murder the heroes and fail dismally, the companions also find a fairly insane blind half-elf named Zoot Zimmer chained to a wall- he claims a huge red dragon attacked his giant eagle mount and he lost his sight in the crash.....he claims to be exceptionally good at finding traps but after Garet has to save him on three separate occasions from said traps he is placed with Zagors recovering ' decorations' to gain his strength, the companions also find an intact but uncharged Elemental Container for Water hastily buried in some abandoned construction rubble.
The creatures in the pits are the next consideration, Ennwyns research seems to indicate the smooth metallic one is some sort of elemental creature from the Plane of Earth that subsists on metal but is otherwise inert unless attacked.......the enormous Chaos Beast named Bob is a different story.......its hunger and body is ever growing and eventually it is up to Herman to destroy it.....
The corridor of Death past the Gold Door is sealed off and the entrance blessed by Tzedaka to prevent darkness from escaping until the Heroes feel ready to enter there and put down what ever servants of the Ancient Dark lie within................and then there is the dragon..................
All told a week has past, Ennwyn has assembled trusted and....somewhat trusted....' assistants', the former prisoners are all ready to move and messengers have been sent to dwarven settlements and wizards alike.
With Firetop pacified, at least for now, Ennwyn awaits replies to her bird-sent messages from Yaztromo and certain citizens of Mirewater and Stonebridge. Plans are made to transport former prisoners, likely they will be safer in the company of The Heroes of Firetop Mountain....
Assembling scattered remaining denizens of non-evil intent ( as far as can be determined by spell and guile) Ennwyn has a staff of Gremlins and Troglodytes beside the two Trolls and the relatively useless skeletal patrol....the red robed burned man seems to be adjusting to his new mistress though Tzedaka still does not trust him as far as she could blast him.
Two more days pass and a message comes from Yaztromo indicating he is still somewhat busy managing the plague situation but will be in contact shortly with a location to obtain a powerful elemental creature of Water. Strangely there is no reply from any of the dwarves contacted.....
“I vonder if Dee dwarves got Dee messages or if greed has risen.” Tzedaka says “she also speaks privately with Garret about red robes. “If Eenwynn remains chere, please do not leave red robes in Dee mountain. I fear chis counsel is poison to de mind and he served Dee servants poison to Dee souls.”
"I wonder why we haven't heard from the Dwarves?" Banzo looks around at the others for silent confirmation, "I thought we were on good terms with them?"

"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."
— The message of Eilistraee to all decent drow.
"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
(Tzedaka considers, was red robes at all responsible for the missives sent to the dwarves?)
( All missives were sent by druidic bird courier services.
The heroes have a few different reasons to leave the mountain now if they wish to do so....also if you want to take the time you have enough hours and labour present to break down the doors near the entrance.)
Are those the same doors that had the items behind them and we couldn't get them at the time, I'm curious as to what everything was.

Bob shifted fitfully in its cave below.......
Tannin out of pure curiosity, tries to mentally connect, to the metallic-grey skinned humanoid creature, "You there?"

Tannin finds his mental connection sliding off a mind like a smooth metal sphere....

Food?
Food Now?
Tannin looks to the others whispers "Err, sorry, do we have any enemies we could lead it too?"

“Not dat ve know of” the angelic women says. “It does look… hungry.”
