At Tenibor's question, the dwarves looked at each other and rapidly discussed the problem in dwarvish. After a moment, one of them turned to the elf wizard and said, "Aye, we think it cauld be doon."

Tenibor thanks them for there answer. "I will need to see it for myself. But I suspect it is better to leave it cut off from the world, as it was before."
He will advance with the group through that hole. He will follow up on the location of the shrine. When the time comes, he may split off.

Quinn nods at the others. "I agree with Eoghan. We should attack this final group and free the last of the prisoners."

"If you wish, I can keep the prisoners here," suggested Tamanar, referring to the two half-ogres, "I will separate the warriors from the non-combatants. Any who wish to venture forward with you can do so, the rest of us will wait here for the all-clear."
The balding dwarf who had been rescued from the torture-chamber stepped forward, saying, "I will coom wit'ye."
Not to be outdone by the dwarves, two orcs that had survived the assault on the forge grunted and insisted that they would also press forward.

Jack fought through his fatigue as he crept up to the opening in response to the large one's words.
~I can hear a couple of orogs berating some dwarves down there. While I might be able to take one of them out with a well-placed shot, I'd still have the other to deal with - and he might be able to awake the stone giants if I'm not quick enough.˜

~Le's you and me be quick about it, Jack,~ Bible thinks to the rogue. ~That dwarf don't sound like he's enjoyin' himself much, but first, some refreshkmenks.~
She retrieves two small vials from a pouch on her belt, uncorks them, and downs each of them one after the other in several large gulps.
"$!@ %@$&! Never get used to the stuff! Blech!" she exclaims after expending some effort to swallow the last mouthful. Then she follows Jack through the hole and into the collapsed hallway.

Bible and Jack took the lead, heading into the tunnel in the back of the old crypt, while those that would stay behind organized themselves into groups. Javok, the nominal orc leader, was still recovering from his ordeal in the torture chamber. Still, he possessed enough personal charisma, that the orcs that would stay behind gathered around him. Not to be outdone by the orcs, the dwarves too formed their own little group.
This left only the dwarf Harmock, who had been chained to the wall in the torture chamber, but appeared to be determined to go forth in spite of it, and the two orcs who had survived the attack on the forge - whose names were Bakkog and Khalga. These three where ready to join the group moving forward when Bible and Jack gave the word. Cordit, still in the form of a giant ape, stayed out of the now-crowded crypt, but she positively quivered in anticipation of bounding in to join Bible as soon as it was reasonable for her to do.
The way forward was not far, but it was still littered with rocks that had not yet been cleared from the excavation. Bible and Jack could see an orog in the dim light of a few torches that were affixed to wooden support beams. The orog had finished shouting at a dwarf woman, who was dirty and holding a pick. She looked like she would like nothing more than to bury the pick in the orog's face, but he was well-armored and held a large axe, while she was in nothing but dirty work-clothes. She nodded and turned back to working at the wall.
As Jack raised his crossbow, suddenly an orc stumbled into is firing line from a side-tunnel. The orc was so startled by the sight of them, that he shouted in surprise and raised his pick. Bible and Jack could tell that he was about to charge them.

Eoghan moves to where his orc-body is visible to the shouting orcs. "We are with Khalga, and Bakkog too -- throwing off the giants. Let us pass quickly so that those abusers can be dealt with. Fight with us, or go join your comrades behind us."
