[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6492294, member: 9255"] THE WAYFINDERS OF THE FLOATING TOWER “THE ROAD OF SLAVERY” SEGMENT 030 1/10/15 VULT 23, 999 THE COGS The warforged known as “Bob” looks at his moving but still damaged wrist. It has not moved in years. He has sent the children away after they were also paid. “So what is the Red Hammer?” again asks Vydaer. “Place where our kind gather.” “Our kind?” “Warforged” “If anyone knows of the bugbears it will be Crucible or someone there.” “Crucible?” “He owns the Red Hammer.” They continue to walk through the dark tunnels for another twenty minutes. Before reaching the Red Hammer, Bob stops. He excuses himself as he doesn’t want to be seen there with non-forged travelers. He is given one last repair spell and he moves away quickly. They continue forward down the hallway. The rough stone becomes ruined stone that requires climbing at times. Ahead of them they see a steady light. They travel towards it and find a large cavern with a ruined black stone building within. Several everbright lanterns are placed around the outside of the building. The group looks at the lanterns. They are from above within Sharn. Stolen and relocated. Peering into the building, they see over a score warforged. Many standing inert…. Watching. Others quietly speak between themselves. Then the group step up to the doorway and the talkers stop in unison. Gabriel walks in with a smug smile on his face. He likes walking into a room and everything stops to watch him. It proves his importance to the world around him. “Hello. I have come here to ask a question or two of you. may I?” Dead silence as all warforged eyes are on him, even Boar’s. “I am looking for bugbears. Bugbears with women. They were here in your tunnels.” Silence. The goblin steps up. He hopes his race will prove to be more trust worthy to the forged. “These bugbears, they will try to attract little attention. They may even sneak within the shadows. The women…. They travel with them against their wills.” Silence. “Anyone? Anything?” asks Vydaer. “Okaaaaay. Can anyone point out Crucible to me?” asks Gabriel. All warforged but one looks to a lone warforged. He looks at the others and frowns. “I am Crucible. I will help you if you leave us and tell no one about us or this place.” “Done.” Declares the warlock whom honestly hopes to never travel this deep into the Cogs again. “I know only of rumors. But this is Undersharn. Many travel here in secret….. looking for little attention. Perhaps my people can help.” He looks about the room to each of his patrons. Looking at their dirty and damaged bodies, the goblin offers repairs again. “They travel through the collapsed tunnels.There is a dragon here pretending to be a bugbear.They leave a tunnel but never return that way.There are red tattooed people here.Goblin thieves travel in small numbers.The jack of Irons still stalks the tunnels.The women seem so afraid.Vampires travel from deeper tunnels to feed.” Is all said in unison.
