Dargo Golden Half-Deep Dragon Gold Dwarf HPs: 18/83, AC: 21
Dargo listened to the Matron's words, looking for any deception. Not noting any*, Dargo looked to clarify her words.
"Greetings, Matron Stonehammer. I'm known as Dargo Golden, and I'm on patrol for the city of Eartheart. As such, it would be my duty to see you safely to Eartheart," Dargo replied. "You mentioned a master tracker . . . I don't mean to mis-speak, but are there others in your group or nearby? If so, we should recover them as well before heading to Eartheart."
"Shapechangers are dangerous folk, and I see three here as former bandits. I'm going to take a moment to scout the area before we set off, to see if I can learn anything about them," Dargo commented.
Dargo then scouted the area of the wererat ambush looking for how long they had been waiting, and clue as to which direction they arrived from . . . things of that sort. **

In a farming cavern below Eartheart
"Oh I don't think we need to worry about the others. I feel quite confident now that I have you three for protection. The rest of my group is staying at the Golden Mushroom Inn" [Dargo knows this to be a high-quality inn off of a trade tunnel, less than a mile away.] Matron Stonehammer giggles like a little girl for a moment before adding. "They'll be fine, I left them a note."
Matron Stonehammer shudders and gets to her feet, noticing the wererats for the first time. You see her hands go to her wounds almost instinctively. Then she looks around with concern to see how Dargo and her maid are also badly wounded. Nonetheless, she seems almost preternaturally calm as she speaks. "Wererats. Yes, let us return to the Golden Mushroom. Young guard, rush ahead and have the innkeeper summon a healer for us. I'm afraid our healer's skills alone may not sufficient to heal all of our wounds."
[Dargo senses no deception in the Matron's words. Dargo scouts the area and finds the wererats were new arrivals in the farming cavern. They came from a trade tunnel, from the direction of the Golden Mushroom Inn]

"Indeed, I can help as much as I can. I do a fine job of knitting together man made wounds. But if these wererats have infected anyone with thier weapons or claws then I am afraid that it is beyond my abilities at the moment." says Morph.
Morph thinks things through for a moment to himself, I really don't think that this woman knows a whole lot about what she is getting into, she sounds a little naive. Of course I have pledged to see her safe again. Perhaps I can pick up a few of the supplies that Bull and I need somewhere round here.

Dargo nodded in agreement and said, "Let's get it done, then."
He took point, alert for any other danger. Dargo was uncertain about doubling back on the path of the attackers. Though if that's what the Matron wanted, Dargo wasn't about to argue with the Matron of a clan.

The kuo-toan nods.
"I too will be happy to accompany you if you wish, madam."
Vuoor taks up a position in the rear of the group.

At the Golden Mushroom Inn
Morph, Dargo and Vuoor accompany Miria's party back to the Golden Mushroom Inn, where the rest of the Matron's party awaits. The matron of the Stronghammer clan is staying in very large, well-appointed suites. Fine food and drink are laid out in abundance. Healers are summoned for the wounded, and eventually everyone is fully healed and cured of disease.
Lady Miria tells her tale.
"When I first felt it, the profound sadness, the constriction in my chest, I suspected what it was, but it was too horrible to face. Karam called for doctors, but I knew I was not suffering from a physical ailment. I knew what it was all along, but I didn't say anything until the diviners confirmed it. The Stronghammer tomb has been broken into, and the bodies of my husband, and his father and mother were seized, and their souls called back to this world, and twisted. The feeling I had was the sadness of their souls at the desecration done to the tomb and their bodies. Their bodies have been instilled with an evil power, and are now standing guard inside the tomb. It's strange, the divinations tell us that nothing has been taken from the tomb. We have not gone inside yet, you see. It is exceedingly dangerous, but my son Karam does not fear that. He fears fighting the spirits of his father and grandparents, however twisted and evil they may have become." Miria pauses to dab at the tears in her eyes with a silk handkerchief.
"That is why I have come surfaceward to visit Eartheart Deep Prison, to see the tomb robbers and learn what I can from them. What have they done? And why?"

"I don't think it would be safe on the road for you to travel to Eartheart with so few guardians," Dargo said after hearing the tale. Something didn't seem to ring right, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Perhaps by going to the prision and speaking with the robbers, he might have a better idea.
"If you don't mind, mi'lady, I'll accompany you to Eatheart Prision and provide what aid I can. My patrol is almost over, and I seem to think that it will be better if I come along. I can't speak for the others, but I would welcome their aid as well."
Dargo looked to he newfound traveling companions, Morph and Vuoor, in question.

In Eartheart Deep Prison...
-- Round 1 (cont) --
Rogoth waits to disarm the first dwarf who comes near.
Denasa waits for the dwarves to come out of the room. She doesn't have to wait long.
The first dwarf moves out into the hallway, right in front of Rogoth.
Rogoth reaches out to disarm the dwarf. The dwarf reacts, slicing the Grimlock with his axe [4 damage, Rogoth's disarm attempt fails].
Denasa raises her hands and gives the dwarf a death glare. "Let us go immediately! We have committed no crime, and I don't want to hurt you if I don't have to. But I will not be caged, so stand aside, noble dwarves, and let justice take its own course," Denasa says in her most persuasive tones. It's a good bluff, but the dwarves seem unaffected by it. Perhaps they are used to hearing protestations of innocence from prisoners, or they have a very high degree of faith in their legal system...
The dwarf continues past Rogoth and Denasa, allowing both heroes to gain a free attack. Rogoth connects with his makeshift flail [13 damage]. Denasa misses. The dwarf pivots and swings at Rogoth, missing. Other dwarves follow, and Rogoth is hit by the second and third dwarves [12 damage]

Rogoth: 16 damage

*Denasa skips backward ten feet and cries out to the dwarves again.*
"I warned you to let us pass!" she cries, and sends several gouts of fire right above their heads. "Stand aside and we won't hurt you any more!"
[OOC - scorching ray above the heads of the dwarves in the corridor.]
