There are dark circles under his eyes, and it is obvious that he has come to feel a great deal of strain.  "I can't begin to understand it, but that storm brought with it some strange magic indeed.  The wood beneath the prow is warped, and I'd wager that on that night, we'd sailed on strange waters indeed."  He sighs.  It is more than a little odd to see this once confident man so nerve-wracked. "W-well, just how far, um, have we been pushed?", asks Voddlegrok, somewhat impatiently. "Near as I can reckon, most of our journey's behind us.  You've got little more than a week before you'll take to your sleds..." "But that is excellent news, Captain!  I never thought," exclaims Voddlegork animatedly, "that we woud arrive so quickly, so far ahead of schedule!  Oh, truely that storm was a fortunate one!" Gravan stares at the tiny gnome with undisguised anger.  "Fortunate!  Fortunate, you fool!  An ordinary storm doesn't carry a ship five hundred miles in one night!  An ordinary storm doesn't do the damage this one did--my hull's in danger of falling apart, you feckless half-wit!  If we don't find some way to repair it, we'll not be going home again, Voddlegrok, and I'm not aware if you've noticed but there's a shortage of timber round these parts!" "N-not...going...h-home?  "O-oh, my..." whispers Voddlegrok as he slips unconcious to the floor. Gravan sighs and looks a back at you.  "Sorry, I'm just frustrated, and I shouldn't have taken it out on the little fellow.  It's true, though.  Unless we figure something out, it looks like this has just turned into a one-way trip." "I'd apreciate it if you didn't tell my crew about this, though.  They're already wound up, and news like this could send them into a panic.  I'm hoping you do find Voddlegrok's ancient Dwaves somewhere out there, 'cause at the moment, it looks like they'll be our only way of getting home."Soon: your characters' first steps onto the deadly ice of the Frostfell![Toshanharath] - [SPOILER]The stone that Norderil shows you, mysteriously floating, unattached, in a small cavity in the Warforged's chest, resembles an ioun stone (which are common in your native land).  The sickly greenish glow it gives off, however, unnerves you--there is something very disturbing about this stone.  The glow is the same one as from Deadweight's eyes, and you think you've seen the same green glow somewhere else recently as well.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
