Lars runs towards the side of the cave opening, placing himself around the corner and peering in, both hands on his great-axe.

Dentmus turns back towards the half-orc, wondering if whether he is worth saving. If the flames are doused, the druid will see if he can heal the fella, taking out his handy healing kit. "Ah this a bad one..." but it is a half-orc, so... well we'll see what the gods decree.

"Hafa e-t í hendi, Woden," the Padre intones as he continues toward the mine's entrance.

OOC: Casting Bless; don't know exactly how close he is to everyone else, but hopefully he'll cast where he can 'cover' everyone in the party, and/or as many party members/miners as he can. (That's a real Old Norse phrase, too!

Twisted Trouble
Lars moves into a good position to ambush whatever comes out, he peers around the corner, ready to strike. Inside the cave, he and Kah can see a large shape lowering down in the pose of a giant cat preparing to pounce.
With his greatsword in one hand and his horn still at his lips, Haakon readies himself opposite Lars. His horn, which stirs up in all who hear it the glory of the warriors of Valhalla, causes the miners running out to regrip their makeshift weapons and reset their brows as they fall back, no longer panicked, toward the village.
Readying her longsword and crouching low, Kah, moves up through the miners falling back. Her excellent Elven vision allows her to see what Lars sees inside the cave.
Dentmus quickly and easily stabalizes the Half-Orc, who is badly burned, but will not die of these wounds. A few of the locals help Dentmus and stay with the Half-Orc.
Seeing that Dentmus has the wounded well in hand, The Padre charges forward to get near Kah while invoking the power of the All-Father to bless his party. He stops in a position with Kah off to one side and Mist, lance lowered and Thunder nervous but capable and twitching off to his other.
The miners have fallen back out of your way to the outer edge of the crowd. Everyone is quiet, watching, waiting. The Dwarven guard on the catwalk lowers his greatspear into the entrance preparing for the charge. There is silence for a moment as Haakon stops for a breath. The villagers helping Dentmus mumble that they will take care of the wounded, then there is silence again. You all feel your heartbeats hammer.
Suddenly, bursting into the mouth of the cave, dazzling your eyes in the morning sun, tendrils of black haze snaking about it, comes a glittering, golden dragon. It is about the size of a mule, a pickaxe jutting from its shoulder, froth spattering from its mouth and getting caught in its young beard, its teeth and claws red with blood, eyes huge and bloodshot and rolling cartoonishly, one wing broke limp at a painful angle, the other torn.
Before the creature can actually break the threshold of the cave, though, the Dwarf on the catwalk leans into his spear and stabs it deep in the shoulder next to the pickaxe. That arm goes limp and the creature howls and grabs the spear with its other hand. With one mighty shove of the spear, the dragon rips the spearhead from its own flesh and using the haft knocks the Dwarf backwards off the catwalk. He falls flat, face up in front of the dragon, and it looms over him, mouth wide.

(and back over to you, gang: do what you think is best--you're all +2 to hit, +1 to damage and +1 on fear saves because of a combination of Haakon's horn and The Padre's Bless spell -- perhaps I'm too anxious: but Bloodweaver1, feel free to give me an action for Mist for that round if you want)

All the locals know that there are a few gold dragons who live in White Mountain. They are spotted every few years or so and have always been a good omen. Over the last several (Dwarven) generations, some miners have even claimed that they have had conversations with the benevolent creatures while working. Most miners will claim if nothing else that they can hear the dragons singing in the mountain when working deep in the belly of the tunnels, and that the singing keeps them safe. The appearance of a gold dragon has never meant trouble before.

Haakon, puts away his sword, and lowers his horn "This is an unfortunate accident or a terrible omen of what that accursed tower brings" he mutters to himself. He then steps into the cave entrance with his hands empty in token of peace and in Dwarven, says "Hail great wyrm! We are friends and will not harm you. Let us heal these unfortunate wounds the miners gave you in fright! Come, tell us your grievances and we will give wereguild if needed"
