[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7858739, member: 7015827"] A discussion followed regarding the next steps that should be taken by the group, given the array of choices before them. Rahnee brought up the possibility of further investigation of the undead threat near Amee Pass, in order to assist Veran's mission. Aerikoth pointed out that it would be at least two days' travel each way, not counting delays due to weather, which would put at risk Jokull's return for his match at the Quivering Thumb on Nightal 20. Jokull commented that there might be time enough if they departed the city the following day, otherwise he could not accompany them. Veran then raised the need for more information on the Ironhelm dwarves and queried whether it would be profitable to ask more of Aerikoth's "warrior-friend," an idea which Brok-Tul supported. Veran, when asked by Rahnee, indicated he would be happy to make the journey to Amee Pass after Jokull's bout, since there appeared to be no immediate need for it. The conversation trailed off and the companions, tired from their recent activities, went to bed. Once they dropped off to sleep, they found themselves once again in the dream version of Ashnakzeroth's cavern, this time immediately recognizing what was occurring. While the throne and its evil aura appeared to be the same as before, this time they heard only one hammer in the distance, which shook the earth with each blow.
