[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5556557, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="4"]The Forges of the Mountain King. A 4th Edition Adventure for Level 1 Dwarven PCs.[/SIZE][/CENTER] Intro: “Too often we are forgotten, too often we are passed over, too often...” Master Ignatius Earwax fell silent, the assembled Dwarven host press closer still, straining to hear- around the great hall, clustered in groups, are representatives of many of the lesser known Dwarven Guilds- the Riveters Union, the Ancient Shifters (Porters), the Fungi Farmers Collective, the Nightsoil Champions, the Plumbers & Water Closet Guild, the Accountants and Totalisers Forum, the Royal Ratcatchers, and nearly two dozen others. Master Ignatius tries a new tack- “Since the dawn of time Dwarven Lords of martial clans have ruled the roost, they have monopolised the positions of power and glory- they have claimed for their own great riches, and the fruits of our labour, they have had it all!” A murmur of agreement from the masses, nods and gruff barks of assent. “For too long!” Master Ignatius cries, and then finds his stride. “Too often have we been passed over, deemed unworthy or else made to feel that our trades are mundane or else unfit for praise- well, no longer, we are the very foundations of Dwarven society, the bedrock- the building blocks, the stone...” The last word is delivered in a hushed tone, the word echoes through the great hall. “And so, on this day, we say no more.” Cries of 'no more' punctuate Master Ignatius' point. “We, The Honourable Council of the Bottom Worker's Guilds, have discovered a great prize, a prize worth fighting for, a prize worth dying for- we have discovered the long forgotten location of the Lost Hold...” The great hall falls in to hushed silence, the Lost Hold- home to the Tannheim, a fabled clan of Dwarves of unmatched power. The hush is followed by frenzied whispered chatter. “On this day, we, The Honourable Council of the Bottom Worker's Guild, call for Champions to come forth- for this is our secret, this is our chance, to humble our mighty martial Lords. This is our time. Our champions will investigate the Lost Hold, secure the great treasures and powers within, and we will re-forge our station in Dwarven society- we, the Workers, will at last RISE UP!” The hall is in uproar, a cacophony- screams and shout, profane and profound, a susurrus, a dirge, a drone, a chant- “Bottom's Up! Bottom's Up! Bottom's Up” [/QUOTE]
