Part 4: Wave Echo Cave

Kama checks over the dwarf and finds that he is alive, though he is bruised over nearly every inch of his body and he's missing his pinky finger on his left hand, a recent wound. The bonds are made from fine rope and secured tightly in such a way that it forces his shoulders close together; it must be creating one hell of a pain in his back.

The rope is very strong, but the fine blade of Kama's dagger cuts through it easily. The dwarf groans as his body assumes a more natural position.

The dwarf sputters a little bit as the potion goes down his throat and you can see some of the worst bruising begin to fade away. His eyes flutter open and he speak groggily, "Wha?"

The dwarf stares at Xora for a moment, confused, then chuckles weakly, "Doesn't look like you're with them, I guess," he says, then winces and hangs his head, "They got Tharden, the bastards, but I guess that Gundren must be ok if you found your way here?"

Stormsong doesn't find anything of note in the room.

"Nundro, aye, that's me. I don't know much about what they got here, I was kept in this room all the time and beaten for information - not that I had any to give," he grumbles, then speaks sadly on seeing the boots, "Thanks for me brother's boots.

You stay with Nundro, who has passed out and is resting peacefully on the bed in the room now. An hour passes with no trouble, do you want to try for the whole eight?

As you decide your next course of action, Nundro groans from his place on the bed, "Argh, me back aches. A dwarf should never sleep on somethin' so soft!" he says as he stands up and stretches, wincing in pain as his sore muscles are stretched. He looks around at you all, "If yer thinkin' o' stayin' here with me, think again! Just leave me a blade, some food, and I'll lock the door behind ye while ye explore."
