Message: <blockquote data-quote="dpdx" data-source="post: 2296607" data-attributes="member: 188">Rurik could never understand why any self-respecting adventurer's group wouldn't gather where ale was served; perhaps there were more than one in this hamlet, where the rest of his group could be found. Nonetheless, a visit with family was a sacred and precious opportunity, one that Rurik did not intend to waste. It was easier for him to unload in his native language, so Rurik spoke that way as much as he could, only stopping to pull on his ale every other minute."...so Lehrik and his crew followed the copper vein another quarter-mile down into the mountain, and after a week, they get to a vault pocket, and it had bodies, some of them still with meat on 'em. So Bim the hobbit gets sent back ahead to warn the War Council and the outposts, being the swiftest, and even then, that takes two days non-stop, so when he gets there, they've got to wait for him to catch his breath before he can even tell them what they found! Frankly, I'm surprised he only took that long, and didn't stop to stare at gems! And Lehrik can't tell dhaerow from derro when they're all torn up like that, what if they were children?So by the time I was ready to come back, I had to get letter of marque from War Council to even leave the Hall to do this, and my folks are upset, and I don't have an earthly idea what I'm coming back to when I go back, but I do know the new clerics are set to trial about then, and I'll be damned if I'm not bringing reinforcements with me when I get there, especially since I promised the War Council I'd bring some people back with me to help out in case we needed it by then.None of the others know it yet, and I still can't find Sturm. That guy - you'd like him - he could practically take care of that whole thing by himself with a cold waterskin and a sack of ore nuggets. He's East End - Down Thrusch, Gerwycht clan if you've heard of 'em. Uses a scythe.There's bound to be trouble when you go that deep, is all I'm sayin'. And this thing we're doing here at that mine could be related to that. Yeah, I could see that easily - but if those killings were from undead, at least then we'd have some clerics back at the Hall we could turn loose on 'em!I was gonna round up some friends and family, anyway, because it's usually one of the best feasts all year - well, I don't need to tell you about that, Brannam, you've been there, but still - now it's gonna be, 'Hey, guys! Wanna come back with me and beat up on some monster we don't know what it is? If you live, you'll get to feast!'I don't know, Brannam... We'll see who sifts out of the separator in one piece, I guess.Speaking of which, have they got some food in this joint?"</blockquote>
