[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 4638777, member: 49514"] OOC: From here on out, anything in a quote block in my posts is directly quoted from the published adventure. [B]Finlil, Athanil, Ringrill - To the Ravine[/B] At this particular point, the ravine is about 40 feet wide. The wolves are both slightly agitated, apparently catching a scent they find unpleasant. [B]Merenita - In the Ravine[/B] Four of the smelly humanoids were scrambling up the winding stairs and up to the ledge where the four humans had left their rope tied to one of the pillars above, one month past. She sensed the presence of other beings at the top of the ravine. The meeting likely wouldn't be pleasant. [B]Kelset - At the Smithy[/B] The old dwarf nods, "I've been seeing the restlessness in your heart for a while now. I'd hoped maybe you'd take my place at the forge this coming season, but I see now that there's greater things in your future than hammering horseshoes. So be it. Just do me a favor. It may not seem like it, now, but that good-for-nothing nephew of mine is destined for better things, too. If you find your path crossing his, keep an eye on him, try to keep him out of trouble. You do that for me and I'll consider your other obligations fulfilled. You've been like a son to me and that's a rare thing for a dwarf to be saying. So, off with you then." [B]Darik - At the Shrine[/B] Darik's call is answered by a spritely, oddly musical voice from a three foot tall, wrinkly old gnome woman, "Well, then, this is your lucky day because you have found Corkie Nackle. What business do you have with the brave and foolish paladin, Sir Braford, who's likely been chewed, swallowed and spit out by goblins or rats or worse?" [B]Delber, Lenya, Kael, and Rashana - At the Inn[/B] Garon is about to answer Rashana when the inn door opens and Delber and Lenya enter. He raises a hand to the newcomers, "Welcome to the Ol' Boar! Make yourself at home." He winks at Rashana, "Be right back, sweetie." The rotund innkeep grabs a pair of mugs and pours some of the house ale into them, then toddles over to Delber and Lenya, "First drink is always on the house, folks. If you need anything else, just yodel for Garon. That's me, by the by." After making sure Delber and Lenya are settled in, he meanders his way back over to Rashana, first asking if Kael needs a top off. Settling back in behind the bar, he answers Rashana's question, his deep, jovial voice carrying throughout the tavern, loud enough for Delber, Lenya and Kael to hear, "Alrighty. Old Road ravine, you say? Dangerous business, that. They say there's some old castle what fell into the ground a thousand years ago or some such. Goblins there now. Come up every summer trying to sell a magic apple. Apple that's supposed to cure any sickness. Horsepuckey if you ask me.

That ravine...it's served as a grave to too many folks. Dangerous business, it is." [B]Vardok - At Merchant Hucrele's[/B] Vardok finds the door open and Hucrele herself going about her routine. She eyes the dwarf, her sunken features indicating a month spent in sleepless grief and worry. "I've seen you about. Rurik's kin, right? Well, first, your facts are off. I have a son and daughter, not two boys. As to the reward, 125 gold pieces for each of their signet rings as proof of their fate. Double that if they are brought back alive and in reasonably good health. They went off to the old ravine, like foolish adventurers, listening to foolish tales from a foolish paladin, Sir Braford.
