I would learn their fate while we are here.” She immediately began searching the shelves while Litiraan moved into the room to the south, apparently a dining room. The others, excluding Enlishia, spread out to other rooms to search for clues. The ranger remained behind in the outer chamber with an arrow nocked to her bow, once she had barred the door to the trading post.“I have a map and a letter,” Lavren called eventually from the southeastern chamber of the trading post.“And a passage leads south from here,” Litiraan called from the southern end of the large back room that formed the heart of the trading post. The companions gathered, Enlishia included at the southern doorway that opened onto a corridor that led away into the darkness.“A way that leads deeper into Thunderspire,” said Dulvarna. “But where does it go to.”“The southern way is named the Road of Shadows on the map,” said Telkya, leaning over the map with one hand on Lavren’s shoulder. “And this letter is also from Murkelmor Grimmerzhul. It requests provisions to feed new merchandise.”“Then your kin yet live,” said Enlishia. “But where are they to be found?”“The Road of Shadows leads to the Horned Hold, according to this map,” said Telkya, leaning forward over Lavren now. “Our kin must be there.”“It would make sense for the duergar here to have a passage that leads them towards their kin,” said Dulvarna.“Perhaps,” rumbled Erlmoor who had been silent so far. “But perhaps we should ask around the Hall first.”The others looked to him, Telkya visibly slumping down to drape herself over Lavren’s shoulder. The moon elf tried to pay her no mind but the closeness of her distracted him from the matter at hand. He thought of Thira and how she would feel about him desiring someone else so soon after her death but he knew she would not mind. She was a creature of whim, fancy and desire as he was. She would understand.“We will ask around,” said Dulvarna. “But we will be quick about it. If some react badly to what we have done here, we would do well to be away from the Hall when they do.”</blockquote>
