Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grim" data-source="post: 1112066" data-attributes="member: 132">Skye, May 8th:Copperdeath was defeated… again? Skye did not understand. Wasn’t that the dragon that ruled over Bellhold some fifty years before? Wasn’t he put down back then, by the first Heroes of the Bell?He asked the merchant to explain himself again.“We, you see sir, apparently some part of Copperdeath was still alive, but made of rock, or crystal, some say even gold. In any case, these “Breakers of the Stone” came into town, found out that some children were missing, and followed the trail up to Copperdeath’s old lair, where a band of goblins was performing an ancient ritual to bring that damn dragon back.”“Goblins?”“Yes, goblins. One lady said they was lizardfolk, but I think its goblins. Anyway, they finished the rite just before the Breakers got to them, and the whole town fell under Copperdeath’s spell, again. Until the Breakers found the stone, or crystal, or whatever it was, and used the town bell Wyrmcall, to shatter it.”“And so you are bringing them beer?”“Yes! Since yesterday evening, when they shattered the stone, the whole town has been celebrating the victory. They’re gonna carve some big statues of the Breakers and everything, just like they did for the Heroes of the Bell.”“Really?”“Yes, even for that poor sap with the potatoes who fell down the waterfall inside the mountain. Its too bad that wise woman who helped them has disappeared, along with her son. Well, Cobble, that’s the son, he was a crazy lad anyway, addled somehow, but no one ever faulted him for it. Poor boy. I bet being mental enslaved drove him of the edge, or some such. Well, I’ve got to be on my way. Sell the beer before they stop celebrating. Goodbye!”“Goodbye.” Says Skye. The merchant flicks the reins, and his cart trundles of along the path, disappearing behind the first curve.</blockquote>
