[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7975445, member: 7015827"] Another tunnel ran east from the chamber and the party chose to explore the series of caverns after it, but their path was eventually blocked by a rockfall in the southern exit of a large chamber to the south. While the others thoroughly explored this chamber, Darrow had a sudden inspiration and ran back to the cavern of the spectres. When the others eventually returned to it as well, they found him peering down into the crevasse excitedly. Apparently the dwarf had caught a glint of something below and was seeking the best way down to find it. A rope was tied around Darrow and he climbed carefully into the dark crevasse, straining to reach the object he had seen. He was able to grab something and with the assistance of the others climbed back out onto the chamber floor. As Darrow finished removing the rope, a ghostly dwarven figure appeared in front of him, dressed in Ironhelm armor. The spectral dwarf stated that he was Relan Ironhelm, the warrior who had last wielded Haelgrim in the service of the clan - the very weapon that Darrow had recovered from the crevasse. Relan charged Darrow to return the axe to the clan and wield it well, then vanished, leaving Darrow both amazed and ecstatic at having recovered the ancient symbol of Clan Ironhelm. ([I]Though our Order opposes undeath in any form, it is understood that in some cases, a spirit may not pass on for Judgment because of unfinished work of great importance upon this plane of existence.

Judging that they had explored all of the deeper delves that they could reach, the adventurers decided to return to the Ironhelm citadel and report their findings.
