The Dwarves want the gauntlet because it is the head Dwarf's birthright.andThe Party's employer relies on the excellent wine being produced by the spring to keep her customers coming in.Now here is where the party can run into some choices to make.The Dwarves are willing to let the party loot the remains of the Dwarven hold (a cave leads into the side a hill by the clearing.  Although this area is beyond the scope of this adventure, it is suggested that t lead to Dwarven ruins).  If the party agrees to let the Dwarves have the gauntlet the Dwarves give them the cup in the gauntlet's grasp.  Seems this cup is a magic item as well and will make excellent brew out of anything put in the cup over night...honey becomes mead, grapes...wine, etc...  This will also work if the cup is placed in a keg of raw ingredients.  The tavern will be able to keep producing wine, but not at the same rate that it once did.Or the party can kill the Dwarves and have it all.   Muuahhahah!Over all this adventure was well done, but the party I ran had an easy time of it.    The product is nice and well done, the adventure just came out sort of Blah, and having the cop out, best of both worlds, Dwarves get gauntlet, party gets cup, solution was weak.  Next time I run it I'll make the dilemma more severe with the lass about to lose her tavern, no magical cup, and the Dwarves led by a holier than thou Paladin intent on reclaiming all the Dwarven hold.  "How dare ye set foot on this holy solemn ground!  The mere presence of non-dwarves here defiles this place! Get ye gone or face my axe!" ASEO out</blockquote>
