Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goonalan" data-source="post: 5590645" data-attributes="member: 16069">"NOOOOOOOO!"Mardred screams even as Cinara comes racing towards them, Krogan is left on his knees cradling the lifeless form of Thorgrim... the moments pass like ages.Cinara, who has yet to give up hope, scrambles in the dirt- checking and re-checking the motionless Thorgrim, after ten minutes of fruitless labour even she has to concede- his spirit has departed.Kazzagin and Len have now made it to the spot, the five stand around, unable to give voice to their feelings- being a hero it seems comes at a terrible price, their collective hopes and dreams- easy victories, gold and glory, are shattered.Death lives under the mountain, death lives in the stone and the shadow, death and pain, and hurt, and suffering...Thorgrim's body is eventually taken up, carried with ceremony back the way the Dwarf's came. The two ragged Dwarves (one dead, one alive but still unconscious) are also taken- Len carries one beneath each arm. The Dwarves head back to the camp a little way off- where they left the Gaffer.The Gaffer of course is surprised to see them but holds his tongue, and becomes all businesslike when he spots Thorgrim. The body is swiftly prepared, as is the custom, rocks are gathered for the cairn, a service held with prayers from Cinara and Kazzagin, followed by final words...And when it's done the five Dwarfs remaining, and the Gaffer, return swiftly to the fire- it seems colder in the caverns then ever before, there they mutter and eat, knowing that they must return. Each casting dark glances at the ragged Dwarf- now gagged, wild-eyed and awake.[GM]Things to do-1. Last words for Thorgrim please.2. Anything you wish to do with the dead ragged Dwarf?3. Same but for the one alive?Remember to make any skill checks you need to for whatever actions you are doing- I like skill checks they tell me how well you are doing something.[/GM]Five to go...</blockquote>
