Message: <blockquote data-quote="(contact)" data-source="post: 917889" data-attributes="member: 41">Thanks, blarg!Are you still mystified?  Taran, Thelbar, Indy, Kyreel and Rex heard about an abandoned Dwarven Delve waaaay back around 4th level, finally made it there by eighth, got their asses handed to them by a pair of white dragons, stumbled into Faerun and have now found the *Faerunian* entrance of the same damn Delve! <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">From Chapter 4:  The traders linger in town for a few days, and Indy hosts them, toasting to their clan, and their Fane.  This troubles one of the dwarves, and after beating around the subject for a proper length of time, tells Indy the following story: He is from a dwarven hall near Ratik known as the Great Delve.  He, like many other young dwarves were forced to expatriate because his King had gone mad.  The King lost his senses sometime after a visit from a group of strange dwarves who came up from the Underdark, but claimed to be surface dwarves from a burrow far, far away. The dwarf presents his shield, a gift from the foreign dwarves.  Indy is shocked and transfixed by the glyph.  He is sure he has seen it before, but cannot recall where.  He reacts very emotionally to the symbol, and knows it to be the warren mark of the Filas Hali.  None of the other dwarves recognize this name. Further, the dwarf from the Great Delve tells Indy that the foreign dwarves had a king – a king by the name of Alvodar.  The name sends tendrils of memory through Indy, and he is sure he has known this dwarf. The rest of the party needs little convincing, as they recognize the name of Alvodar themselves, though none of them know exactly why.  They are sure that this Alvodar is a being of great virtue, and must certainly be sought.  If the dwarves of the Great Delve are having troubles, and Alvodar is there, then into the Great Delve they shall go.</li> </ul>In the interim, the Risen Goddess and LoT group has run an entire campaign inside this exact same dungeon-- in order to deal with the burden of "player knowledge" we have contrived for the log of Fearless 'Fernal to fall into the hands of the Champions of the Risen Goddess.Because I won't be adding lengthy explanations every time a new name or place pops up in the RG log, I thought you all might like to read Fernal's journal yourself, in order to get up to your usual high speed.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />They first heard about the Delve at 4th level, and here it is again, staring their 19th-level selves in the face.</blockquote>
