You set out on the path to Daunton's interior. The route is not unlike the one you took to get the staff, and Veneficus' directions only leave you about a half-days hard march to the old laboratory ruins you were at. At the far end of the clearing, crumbling walls front a cliff face. Strange symbols are carved into the weathered gray stone of the ruins. Beyond is a recently excavated cave mouth, its newly cleared passage stabilized by wooden scaffolding.In front of the cave mouth sits a motley group of five humans eating around a fire. Most wear simple leather jerkins and carry maces, but one large lout is clad in bear furs and hefts a greataxe over his shoulder. He bullies the others aside to grab chunks of venison. Above the humans, a cloak-garbed dwarf perches atop a ruined wall, watching the clearing with a loaded crossbow at his side. His gray clothing and skin almost blend into the crumbling stonework."Usurpers! Stealing our knowledge? We must slay them" the wizard says with passion. [sblock=ooc]BTW I'm assuming Crag is carrying the staff? If not, let me know.[/sblock]</blockquote>
