Hopefully their problems would be solved if they found Caradver, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the escaped assassin. That made two of the three who attacked them that had gotten away. But, again, they had more pressing matters.Grum had prepared his speak with dead spell, and they had worked out a few questions in advance. He sat over the body, incanting and holding his axe aloft above the body. Finally, he opened his eyes, a faraway look in them for a moment, then focused on the others. “I’m ready. First question?”“Where is Caradver,” Jackal answered. “And, he’d better have known.”Grum looked down at the body of the bauriaur, laid out on their living room floor. “Where is Caradver?” He closed his eyes and concentrated on making the corpse act.The voice came out of its mouth cold and without inflection or emotion. “In the Lost City near the Spire, recently discovered.”“Damn cryptic answers,” muttered Jackal.“How do we get there?” interjected Malbi. Jackal gave him a cold look, but nodded his approval.Grum repeated his questioning of the corpse, repeating the question.“Travel Spireward from the Mountain of the Dwarves.”“Mountain of the Dwarves? What kind of crap is that? How many dwarf mountains must there be on the Outlands? This-““I know what he’s talking about,” Malbi interrupted worried that Jackal would decide to start hacking away at the corpse.“Oh really?”“Yes. The Dwarven Mountain is the Realm of several members of the dwarven pantheon, located on the Outlands. It lies within the second to outermost ring of the Outlands layers. Spireward means that we should head toward the Spire to get to whatever city this is.“Okay, but that could be anywhere. That’s a big place and-“Malbi shook his head and cut him off again, “Not really. On the Outlands, if you want to go somewhere you just have to think about it and walk. Eventually you’ll get there. Now that we know that the city exists, its just a matter of overland travel to get there. It shouldn’t be a problem.”Jackal narrowed his eyes at Malbi for a second, then turned to Grum. “How many questions left?”“Two more.”“Fine then. Lets see if he knows anything about Darius. Ask him where Darius is.”Grum did so.“In the Temple on the Mountain of Flame.”Jackal looked over at Malbi for clarification. “A Temple. Of the Temples? And which one is that?”“I’m not sure… ask what the Mountain of Flame is…” Malbi thought he knew, but he had to be sure.“This is our last question,” warned Grum.“Go ahead,” said Jackal.Grum nodded and proceeded to ask the question, focusing his thought into the task.“Yugoloth controlled Gehenna.”“Wonderful. Just wonderful.” said Jackal.Malbi had a defeatist look in his eyes. “We can’t go there. Not right now.”“I know that,” Jackal shot back.“But, why is he with the Yugoloth?”“We’ll have to wait to find out. First, we’re headed to the Outlands.”</blockquote>
