The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

[fireinthedust]

Eldariel rolls his eyes. He speaks softly to Arveduin, chuckling: if you had metal strapped to you while you hung precariously by a rope, and someone at the top asked you if you were friend or foe, how would you answer?

He peers down the shaft and calls out My respect for travelling alone here, good dwarf. We've a mind to explore these ruins ourselves, and could use a warrior. Care to join us for a share in the treasure?

 

[Blood and Honor]

The dwarf peers up the shaft looking at the two that suddenly appeared at the opening of the shaft. "Aye. Let me get to the top of the shaft and we can actually talk." The dwarf begins to pull himself closure to the figures.

 

[fireinthedust]

Eldariel proceeds to help as best he can to pull the dwarf to the top of the rope. Not the most athletic of rangers, still he puts his weight into it and pulls.

I would welcome some... assistance?

 

[ghostcat]

Galyne shouts down "Hang on master dwarf. We'll have you up in no time." He grabs the end of the rope and says to Eldariel "Pull. Now." At the same time as he start pulling the dwarf up.

 

[fireinthedust]

Eldariel nods to Galyne, and pulls as the other does so; he is stern but glad to team up on this action.

 

[Blood and Honor]

It didn't take long for the dwarf to reach the top of the shaft with the help. "I appreciate the help ya given me." Sigrum's band mail scrapped the rim of the shaft as he was pulled up. "Arrrgh, almost all the way." With grunt Sigrum made it to his feet. "Thank you again. Me name is Sigrum Grudgebearer, paladin of Moradin. What are yer names?" Sigrum extends his hand in a gesture of friendship.

"So what brings ya to these depths?"

 

[ghostcat]

"Greeting Sigrum. My name is Galyne. As to what we are doing here. A cleric friend had a premonition about this place and we are checking it out for him"

 

[Axel]

Arveduin steps forward and grasps Signum's hand in his own gauntleted hand. "Hail, Sigrum, Paladin of Moradin. I am Arveduin, priest of Pelor. We seek clues to the nature of a prophecy in the deep places beyond the reach of Pelor's light. What quest of Moradin brings you into the dark?"

 

[Blood and Honor]

"A premonition ya say?" he lets out a slight chuckle. "Its a premonition that brings me here as well. Several days ago a priest of Moradin had a vision of a dark force lurking in the depths of these caverns and I was charged with seeking it out."

"Well met Cleric of Pelor. Good to see one of his faithful in these dank depths."

 

[Axel]

"Then that is glad news indeed!" Arveduin exclaimed. "It is a sign that the gods themselves are acting in concert to head off evil at the pass. What evil creatures and tidings have you discovered in your explorations? We have explored yonder tube, and found what may yet be an item of consequence. It was guarded by no less than a small, but violent earth elemental that tried to communicate with us. If you can speak their language, as I hear many Dwarves are able, most sorely did we need your talents."
