The old dwarf awakes and jumps to his feet obviously embrassed."Well, excuse my lazy bones! We don't get many visitors in these parts anymore." The dwarf begins. " Allow me to introduce myself, I am Steward Baldin Anvilstrike, I've served the Swifthammer family for most my life. So you say you come to see little Dovena? Well, she would likely be with the High Cleric but I'll have to escort you to see Lord Swifthammer first. Protcol dictates it."The dwarf quickly regains composure and with a proper bow asks you to follow him.If you follow he leads you to the single door and opens it. Beyond you see stone hallways of fine dwarven make. The halls stretch in front of you and to the left and right.  All halls are illuminated by torches that don't seem to be smoking and sputtering as a normal torch would. The steward turns to the right a guides you down a hallway with several door. Some of the doors are ajar and you catach glances of what appears to be barracks for the soldiers of the redoubt. At the end of the hall a wooden door is open and you see several dwarves sparring with each other.Baldin guides you through the door which opens in a huge 60' by 60' practive room. Two bright luminaries are onv opposing walls and light the room. You notice a large pratice is taking place. Four groups of ten seem to be competing against each other in some form of free for all combat. A large leather ball seems to be the focus of the contest, which each team attempting to gain possesion. Several more dwarves line a bench on the far wall. One is actively writing as the game progresses, keeping score you assume.Standing next to the bench is an impressive figure. The dwarf has a long black beard with the first traces of gray starting to show. He wears a finely crafted breastplate obviously made by a master smith. At his side an ornate hammer hangs. Bladin guides you to this figure. He bows and begins, "Lord Swifthammer, we have visitors from afar. They say they are friends of Donvena and wish to see her." Baldin then properly introduces you all by name.Lord Swifthammer looks at you and speaks, "Welcome to my redoubt. Any friend of my daughter is a friend of my clan. Unfortnately you missed little Donvena by a couple minutes. She just set out with the High Cleric Fali to heal a miner that suffered a minor wound. Yes, my wife and daughter always did keep care of the miners well. I'm suspossed to do an inspection of the mines after the pratice. If you wish to accompany me you may. Othwerwise I'll have Baldin get you quarters until we return."</blockquote>
