Nerrak waits patiently for his companions, speaking in low tones to Daggermouth. The witchdoctor was anxious to get this mission underway, but knew success would depend upon having companions along for the jounrey.
 

For Mek

The ruins are three circle shaped buildings that lies on top of the knoll, the southern structure is domed, covered with vines, ferns and moss, this place is not ruined and mysteriously not touched by the age of time.
The two other buildings are now one story structures. The upper stories crumbled long time ago and decorate the area and the slopes of the knoll.
It seems that the northern tower have no apparent entrance, it is a circular shape and no more, the middle building, between the dome and the northern building consist a single heavy wooden door.

All goblins that perish are thrown around the ruined tower for scavengers. That is why Mek spots the remains of goblins all around.
One scouting party tries to venture the ruins last year, to bring the red stone as well, no one ever heard from them or saw them.

Mek patiently waits for his group to assemble at the hidden entrance while watching the Goblins and Hobgoblin practice.

Nerrak watches the approach of the bugbear with his cat-like eyes. "Greetings, Mek Thazug'il. Have you seen anything of interest out there?"

Mek eyes the animistic witchdoctor with a disdainful and begrudging respect. Disdain for the goblin's heathen ways has always been apparent in the Bugbear's eyes the few times that you have interacted with him, but he has never acted against you directly or indirectly. Perhaps you are too useful for the tribe, or perhaps he is intrigued by your inclination towards nature and brave enough to reject Maglubiyet, or maybe you are not dwarf enough to be worth his anger or effort. You are not quite sure. You have entertained the thought that perhaps he gives more respect to your wolf than you, as like creatures - hunters - would be wont to do.

Mek just quietly goes about doing what is asked of him only truly showing and level of sadistic joy when someone mentions entering dwarven territory.

Mek just shakes his head 'no' as the scar tissue along his throat catches your eye.

My only concern is that Nerrak's actually considers himelf favored of Maglubyet:
He believes he is one of the chosen of Maglubyet...although not a cleric, Nerrak views his closeness with the earth as a closeness to the god, as earth is part of Maglubyet's portfolio.

[Rhun: Yea I know. It can make for interesting role playing as what you do and say proves your faith to our patron and earns Mek's true respect. You may consider yourself a chosen even though your methods and beliefs differ from the normal follower, especially from his clerics. It is that which he sees as disconcerting - the difference. Through spending time with you he may learn that because you worship different does not mean that you do are not a true follower of Maglubyet of the Deep. ;)

I am looking for a little bit of tension that will go away eventually.

Ur'nagi, I hope you'll perish in the ruins, you undisciplined wench.

Ur'nagi bares her teeth in something that could be either a snarl or a smile. She growls something unintelligible, then spits. Ur'nagi considers the others who are to go with her. The witch doctors might be useful. Mek will think himself the leader because he is bigger than everyone else. The others will probably follow him because he is bigger than everyone else.

Or maybe not. Ur'nagi hasn't had much to do with Nerrax and Suxm. But from what she has heard around the caves, they are more than ordinarily ambitious.

Ur'nagi ignores the bugbear's look.

Ur'nagi waits for the majority of the crowd to disperse before withdrawing herself. It does not take her long to gather up her possessions in preparation for the trip. Ur'nagi's old wolf greets her with a low rumbling growl. Ur'nagi rubs her face in his pelt before grabbing a handful of fur and scrambling up upon its back. The two head outside to find somewhere quiet to wait for sun up.

Outside she spots Mek heading for the ruins, an intent look on his face. Ur'nagi considers following him, and when they are out of sight, killing him. But she discards the idea. Mek won't be that easy to kill. And besides, he might be useful. So she lets him go in peace.

As dusk approaches, Ur'nagi heads to the watch room.
