D&D 5E CB's Stonefast IC -- COMPLETE

One cubicle sits empty in a section of dwarf skulls adjacent to the empty section that likely housed elf skulls. Fulgrim spies a placard on the lone empty cubby that reads "Evard Orcgrinder."

"A shame about Evard..." Fulgrim muttered. "I imagine his clan name may not have put him in the best position considering the current residents of these halls. If we've nothing else to do, should we go check the room that was previously barricaded?"

The mage shuffled over to Roscoe and said, "If you've the ring, I can try it on in the interest of magical experimentation."
 

The broken dwarf skull has been busted apart, it seems, not by hammer or blade. The edges of the broken skull shards crumble to the touch into powder, like bones that succumbed to hoar frost. Fulgrim's hands are soon coated in fine white powder.
 

Father Spec gruffs his way out out the room (actually saying "Gruff", and wiping his nose), and prepares to follow Fulgrim.
 



The ring immediately resized itself to fit comfortably on Fulgrim's finger. Fulgrim felt a flash of heat followed by a flash of cold, confirmation of the ring's magic. Just what the ring did, however, remained a mystery.
 

Following Father Spec out the door, Guran inquires to ask, "What was that you said, Doc? I thought you worshipped a god named "Far, Long" -- which sounds like a deity of journeys, to me -- but you just said, 'Gruff,' instead. Is this Gruff one of Far, Long's exarchs?"
 

"No, not at all, m'boy, not at all. You were right the first time. Fharlanghn is his name, and you're right that it is from his name that we get our adverbs 'far' and 'long'! So insightful. Well done." Father Spec rubs his hands together, pleased at Guran's interest. "Fharlanghn blesses me with this unexpected journey I find myself on; he has brought me to you! What happiness, this adventure!"

When he's not thinking about it, Spec doesn't mind the cold and damp of the subterranean walls.

"It's a commonplace to say our life is a journey, but the route we take and how we pass it is most important, I believe. There are opportunities to stop, there are easier and harder loads to travel. Fharlanghn and the worship of him is all about making the most of that journey."

He adds, "Every step matters. Believe that, if nothing else."
