The Forge of Fury

[IronWolf]

Sabern nods and kneels next to the leader duergar and says a brief prayer to Iomedae and then touches the fallen immediately bringing its blood loss under control and the shallow breathing becoming slightly more regular.

He does the same to the other two duergar before returning to the leader duergar. He does a quick scan to make sure Hinderpick found all the weapons the dark dwarf may have had and moved them out of reach. "I am going to revive this one, keep at the ready." Sabern says to the others. Once the companions seem ready, Sabern will pull forth the slender wand again and allow its healing powers to flow from it to the fallen dwarf to revive it.

[sblock=OOC]

Sabern will use Stabilize on each of the three fallen, starting with the leader dwarf. He will then return to the leader dwarf and use a charge from the wand of cure light wounds.

Hah! Figures! Wand works great on the fallen enemy! 9 back to the leader dwarf.

"Oh, my head." the dark dwarf says coming out of his stupor. He looks around from the floor and then sighs. "Guess I asked for to much coin."

 

[IronWolf]

"Now, about this dragon. As I was saying I do not think we are a group to be charging tolls of." Sabern replies. "Generally one does not seek to charge the ones who are willing to face what you are not."

 

[HolyMan]

"Ye wanna face the dragon?" the duergar says sitting up a little. He looks into each of the groups faces. "HA! I believe you do at that!"

"Alright I'll take you to the pit. Your funerals it will be," he says standing up putting a hand to his head. "Ohh.. that still smarts."

[sblock=OOC] Sorry for delay I have only won 2 out 4 matches wrestling the real world monster. Best of 5 (wish me luck)

Please post up your character following the duergar, ask any questions you might think of, and I will post up a recap above the hole that leads to the dragon.[/sblock]

Hinderpick simply follows the duergar quietly, knowing that the others can ask the questions just as well as he can, content that the duergat will be remembering today's lesson on manners for some time.

 

[IronWolf]

Sabern replies quietly "Dragon it is." and begins to follow the duergar.

"What more do you know about this dragon? Sabern asks. "Keep in mind if we fail that dragon is apt to be a little angry willing to take out its revenge on any it can find. So truthful information that will help in our success would likely behoove you and your clan."

Sabern continues following the duergar, keeping his shield up at the ready and mace in-hand. He will keep a careful watch on his surroundings as he moves through them.

"Does anyone know how big this dragon is?" Auris asks as he slides back into this usual position in the group.

"I know it is black. It likes to bother us for things we have found here in the old dwarven halls, and it isn't much for conversation." The duergar grumbles a she leads the party to the two southern doors. "Oh and it's small about the size of a pack lizard or.. or... what is those four legged animals you ride on the surface?"

The great doors lead into a barrel-vaulted foundry about 40 feet across and 70 long, although the eastern end of the chamber continues into a large dark cave. A stream of water rushes through the center of the room, crossed by two stone bridges. A blast of cold wind moans through this room from the east. Straight ahead, on the other side of the stream, three lean, gray dwarves are working at a roaring forge, beating a white-hot blade into shape on an old anvil.

Ghared moves quickly. "They earned passage. And they wish to see the dragon." he says as he rushes the group across one of the bridges and to the east. The three warriors watch the group but make no move to stop them as the continue to hammer away.

The group here's the sound of a waterfall as they near the other side of the room. The whole east wall is gone showing a large chasm that the stream runs into.

The stream running through the old dwarven bladeworks meanders into a natural cavern and finally rumbles into a great chasm, easily 100 feet long and 50 feet wide. You can see nothing but darkness below, although you think you hear the roar of distant waters over the shrill sound of the waterfall beside you.

Across the chasm a second ledge is partially hidden by a spur of rock.

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: Where are we currently on the map? Any obvious way to continue the journey?

 

[IronWolf]

"Huh." Sabern says looking over the edge to the chasm below.

Taking a couple of steps back, Sabern turns to the duergar and asks "The dragon lives down there?"

"I guess we could lure it up here and use those columns and anvils as some cover while we bring the beast down." Sabern adds thinking out loud as he looks about the chamber.
