[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 3446719, member: 11146"] Mazzel, Dungeddin, and Fognewtin intently listen to everything said by the group, at times nodding and chipping in. When queried about the appearance of the wizard who turned their kin into a bullfrog, Mazzel shakes his head no. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Ebonskinned? No. Big pointy hat, royal blue robes spangled with stars and moons, and a diamond pendant. Old, too. Greybeard, we calls him. And thank my Barrel, we've only met up with him the once!"[/COLOR] The gnomes nod vigorously in unison. Mazzel continues, [COLOR=SandyBrown]"I don't know nothing' about the gate--didn't even know there was a gate. Like I said, we been down here most our time. We gots the one tunnel out into the city, but that's it as far's I know. We come in that way originally. Soon as we had a look at the wood and Dungeddin got hisself a right good scare that first night by some ghost wanderin' about, we took back down to the hollow. The wood's black as black in part, mostly nearer the keep. This part, up north, is farther from the motte and not as cruel. I been in the keep, once. Dug a tunnel and wormed me way in. Musta got caught in something, cause I don't rightly know the way back, but I do 'member some queer golden hourglass on a pedestal inside the castle. Musta looked at that thing for days. The boys here say I were gone a fortnight before I come back, if you can believe that! Seemed only a few hours. Wish I could find me way back in...been looking for the last long while but ain't found nothing like it."[/COLOR] Mazzel pours and downs a bit of warm tea. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"The thing Arquestan wanted you to be shown. It's half an hour to the north, shorter if the trees stay true, maybe longer if Old Wormy decides to wend his way up here. He said it's a passage to mushrooms and to show you the cave. I been up in there once, a short ways. I can show you all where it is. This day's about spent, or will be soon. Are you wanting to see the cave now, or mayhap you're wanting to shelter here for the night? Arquestan said help you, so help you we will. We gots some mining tools, lengths of rope, picks, that kind of thing, if you're needing supplies."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
