The party is getting close to the island and the people they are to help, but already they see smoke rising from it. Are they too late? Only if they had moved quicker! The ship continues to move closer and there is a glimmer in the far off distance. A wave of something is coming at you, orders are barked and everyone braces themselves for impact as the wave engulfs the ship tossing it around before darkness.... some of you dream, some reflect, but for the majority, nothing but a second passes.
The air is cold and you feel chilled to the bones. The ship is frosty, but drips like it is thawing. A breeze comes from the south and has some warmth to it. Looking towards the island, a large sheet of ice covers everything. The ice starts cracking around the ship, if you wait a little longer, you hould be able to sail south to mainland, or go on foot to the island. Draggor the ships captain is at the helm and looks quite confused. Smoke already billows from his pipe.
Off the side of the ship you see boots sticking out from the ice, anyone would recognize those boots. That was Dirk Clawhammer, the leader of your quickly assembled crew. Everyone here however has fought by his side at least once and he has save all your hides multiple times over. Those indeed are his boots of water walking, too bad he landed head first. The ice around him has begun to get cracks in it.

Baern shakes himself like an animal, then gets to his feet from where the wave had left him. He picks his warhammer up off the deck, straps it to his back, and looks around. Without a word, he leaps over the side of the ship and goes at the ice around Dirk's boots with great vigor.

"Baern! You crazy sonuva - dwarf overboard!" Gunnar yells. He grabs the nearest mooring line, makes sure the rope is tied fast to the ship, and tosses the end down to Baern.
What the hell just happened? Where'd all this damn ice come from? Gunnar wonders. He shakes his head and focuses on the rescue down on the ice.

"Less time talkin', lad," grunts Ulfren, taking a second mooring line and stepping over the rail to join Baern on the cracking ice below. The barbarian's battleaxe is hefted in the other hand, and he makes his way to the Clawhammer's feet to hack away at the ice trapping the dwarf.

"Aye, Draggor mate, you awake before us?" the word 'awake' is strained and questioned, as if unsure if it was sleep.

Quote:
The wolf danced in the alpine forest. A hare darted under a low-hanging branch, and the wolf was about to follow, but he paused. His ears perked up. A low rumble was building in the distance.In a moment, he saw it. A white wall of snow was careening down the mountainside, engulfing everything in its path. The wolf's heart filled with fear. There was nowhere to hide. The avalanche was a deafening roar now. The wolf braced itself.
And when the impact hit, Phineas awoke.
Oh Gods, that wave...
Phineas remembered everything in a sudden rush and jolted upright. At once, his senses were assaulted with contradictions. The boat was stationary, no longer rocking against the waves.
How could that be? Did we run aground?
His limbs were numb and heavy, like a bear awaking from the long sleep of winter.
But the wave just hit us - didn't it?
Most of all he felt colder than he had ever felt in his life. He put his hands together and blew into them, kindling a small fire in his palms. The warmth spread through his limbs, and Phineas was glad.
Then he heard Gunnar's shouts. He rushed on deck, slipping on the strange new layer of ice that caked everything. And then he saw the sea ...
It's all ice ... all the way to the shore ... how could this have happened?
He skidded to the rail, saw Dirk's boots, and suddenly realized what was going on.
"DIRK'S OVERBOARD! COME QUICK!" echoing Gunnar through chattering teeth.
There's still time, Phineas convinced himself. He can't have been down there for long. He's going to be hypothermic, but the cold will slow his breathing, give him a few extra minutes underwater. By the gods, think! Gotta boil some water. Gotta get a fire going. He's going to need heat. Blankets. Move it, Phineas!
He skidded dangerously quickly across the icy deck back into the cabin, back to the galley. He slammed firewood into the wood burning stove, igniting it with a snap of his fingers. Got a stock pot of water on the top. Cleared off the frozen plates and cups from the heavy wood table and threw the blankets on top.
Gods, what happened here?

Baern and Ulfren carefully hacks the ice around the boots and before long, the boots are free from their frozen confines. The boots seem rather stiff still though.
Feb 9, 2017 2:20 am
Baern picks them up, examining them closely. He looks around for signs of Dirk, still without saying a word.
Feb 9, 2017 2:22 am
Baern pulls the boots right off of Dirk's feet, but by the blue hue to the skin, it doesn't appear like he has unfroze.
Feb 9, 2017 2:29 am
Baern speaks for the first time. "Has anyone any magic that can make our task easier and lessen our chances of hurting Dirk as we hack him out?"
Feb 9, 2017 3:04 am
Billy rushes to the side of the boat and sees his companions feverishly working at the ice with axe and sword. Stop hackin' at that ice fore ya hurt yerselves, boys! he shouts. You ain't doin' no good and if the cap'n's still alive, ya ain't doin' him no favors neither! Looking at the blue tint of Dirk's feet, Billy gets a grim look on his face. Calm yerself, son, he says to Baern. Best to make peace with the idea that this ain't no rescue mission. It's a recovery. Now tie a rope around that poor soul's feet and step back a ways. Make sure ya got hold tight and be ready ta pull.
Billy waits until the rope is securely tied around Dirk's feet and the dwarves have stepped back, ready to pull on the rope. He reaches into a pouch and pulls out a few grains of sand. Moving his fingers and mumbling a few words, he casts the sand down. Suddenly a hole is opened up around Dirk as the ice around him disappears.

Baern, who has stepped back a ways from the hole in the ice, heaves on the rope with Ulfren, pulling Dirk's body up.

Phineas skidded back on deck only to hear Billy announce Dirk Clawhammer's death. Tears welled up in Phineas's eyes. He thought about Dirk's family, wondered how they were going to tell them.
After Baern and Ulfren hauled up his friend's corpse onto the deck, he knelt beside it. He closed his drab brown eyes and spoke words in the language of the wind and waves, and carved out ancient glyphs inthe air with his fingers.
When he opened them again, his eyes were iridescent and flicked with every shade of blue.
"Will someone aid me? The Clawhammer clan deserves to know what exactly happened here today. A couple minutes of exposure alone could not have killed a man such as Dirk Clawhammer. "

Billy kneels down next to Phineas. It weren't just simple exposure. Frozen in ice, all it takes is a couple minutes. And this ain't no natural cold. Everything about it is durn peculiar. But the cap'n deserves a thorough goin'-over. It's the least we can do. Body and soul're outta our hands. Makin' sure a the truth's 'bout all we can do fer 'im now.

Phineas appreciated the conversation while looking at the grisly sight of his dead friend. Billy's insights made everything clearer.

"How long he was there I cannot say. But it was not minutes. I'd wager days--though how that is possible I know not."
Feb 9, 2017 12:56 pm
Gunnar steps back from the dwarves clustered around their fallen commander. What evil could have caused this? Baern says Dirk has been in the ice for days. How can that be? Only a few moments ago Clawhammer was issuing orders from the quarterdeck!
Gunnar scans the horizon, trying to sight their island destination, expecting to see smoke rising from it. Scowling, he looks up to the crow's nest where in the past few days he has spent hours on voluntary lookout duty.

"What are you talking about, boy?" Ulfren barks at Baern, growing frustrated at the lack of a clear explanation. "He just went over!"
Feb 9, 2017 4:06 pm
Everyone shush up and let me'n' Phineas look at the body! Billy says, somewhat harshly. Knowing the emotions that must be going through everyone, as they go through him, his face and tone soften. Really, boys. Let us finish up here and we'll tell ya what we know. He points to port (assuming Dirk went over starboard). You can best help by headin' over there'n' givin' us some space.

Yes, there is still a captain"I believe, we have been gone, not days, not weeks, but more like decades, if not centuries by my calculations." An old man says, crawling out from below deck. You recognize him as the ships wizard.
Feb 9, 2017 10:11 pm
Ulfren scoffs at the wizard. "Maybe you've aged as much, but the lot of us haven't grown that much older." He raises his boot and steps onto the eel before kicking it to the side.
Feb 9, 2017 10:56 pm
Phineas stood up and listened carefully to the Wizard. He had a great respect for the masters of the Arcane Arts.
Feb 9, 2017 11:02 pm
Having already stepped back from the huddle before Billy's reprimand of the others, Gunnar leans on the rail squinting at the island in the distance. There was smoke rising from it just moments before the ice came. No smoke now.
Gunnar's eyes go wide at wizard's words. His own studies of the arcane have always been focused more on how things work rather than the more esoteric applications of magic. Trapped in magical ice for centuries! How does one achieve such an effect? Assuming this was done with intent.

"I had magical items that slowly lose their enchantments over long, very long periods of time. They are all useless junk now. I do not know exactly how long we were gone, but it wasn't days.". He replies.

The stars have indeed changed. Some stars are gone completely and some new ones are in their stead. Way too much of the sky is black and lifeless.

Gunnar arches an eyebrow at the wizard's words. He immediately starts checking his magical gear: his gun & magazine, his goggles, the bag of holding. Is everything still functional?
Feb 10, 2017 12:29 am
Phineas approaches Baern, concerned. "Old friend, what is you see?"
Phineas tries to see what it is that Baern has discovered, turning his eyes to the heavens. He lets the sky and stars flow into his heart as much as see them with his eyes.
He realizes what Baern has seen.
"How ... how is this possible?"

Baern straightens at Phineas' touch. "The wizard speaks truth, friends. The sky has changed. Many night I have stood guard and watched, its patterns are as familiar to me as the lines on my palm. But tonight, the stars are dim. Many are missing--large areas of sky, once populated by teeming colonies of gleaming stars, are now empty. New, young stars have appeared." He shakes his head again. "We are far beyond our time."

"So what do we do now? The war's over for sure. Do we push on? Go home? Do we still have a home?"
Feb 10, 2017 12:38 am
"I say we push on. Could be the war still rages--and even if it does not, the source of the Icewave is our next question. Something with the power to produce that sort of wave--able to freeze us in time--must be investigated."
Feb 10, 2017 12:39 am
Ulfren strides over to the wizard to lift the man up by the lapel, which means the wizard is probably still on his knees. He growls, "You mean to suggest that our dear friend was stuck and drowned in the tail end of a tundra troll while we were busy for a hundred years?!" The barbarian's voice rises with each word, and he seems ready to headbutt some sense into the babbling magician.

"Our clans must think we've perished, then. Grieved for us and laid tombstones in the crypts."
Phineas wondered if that was true in his case. Many of his kin thought him a failure at best, and a dangerous heretic in some cases.

With a near-bestial growl, Baern gets to his feet and strides towards Ulfren. Midstride, his dwarf form disappears, overgrown by vibrant green bark and vines. His next step rocks the ship as he stands now, over 10' tall. "Leave him be, Ulfren," Baern's voice booms, as if from a wooden drum. "He has done no harm." The next moment, Baern is standing before you all again. "That is what he means to say, yes," he says, his voice heavy. "Dirk was frozen for hundreds, perhaps a thousand years. There is nothing we could have done."
Feb 10, 2017 1:01 am
Ulfren briefly glances up at Baern's taller form, then his eyes follow the diminishing shape-change. "Lad," he growls, voice rumbling like the stone underground, "you be fair-warned about the razor-thin line you just stepped across." Ulfren's fists tighten their grip on the wizard's lapels, mostly on account of not having let go in the first place. "Don't think you can intimidate me with your mystical ways, and if you wanna have a go, all you gots to do is ask."
Feb 10, 2017 1:01 am
"Twas not my doing good sirs." The mage replies.

"Everybody just calm down so we can figure this out!"Gunnar lets out a low whistle. "Gods! I need a drink!" he fishes in his pack and comes up with an empty bottle. He stares at it mournfully before tossing it back in. "Looks like I've got some brewin' to do. Hey Ryyrik, help a guy out, will ya?"
Feb 10, 2017 1:22 am
"You took the words from my mouth, mate." Ryyrik saunters up next to Gunnar, procuring two flasks from his bag and tosses one to him. "To 'Not being frozen anymore', I guess." he pops the stopper off the top and takes a swig.
Feb 10, 2017 1:30 am
Gunnar catches the flask, unstoppers it with his teeth, raises it to Ryyrik"s toast, and takes a swig. He then offers a drink to anyone who wants one. Having wet his throat, he puts his mind to the current situation. "Go forward or go home, just let's get the hell out of here. Can she break through the ice, Captain, or will we have to go on foot?"

"I'm not asking for 'a go', as you call it," Baern says steadily, "I was simply attempting to speak your language. Don't let your anger at losing Dirk push you to do wrong, or we will have that go you mentioned."

Ulfren releases the wizard in disgust. There are bigger fish to smash, he feels, and answers are not forthcoming.
Feb 10, 2017 1:59 am
Baern nods his head as if in acceptance of Ulfren's gesture, but keeps his eyes steadily on the dwarf as he turns away.
Feb 10, 2017 2:13 am
Gunnar eyes Baern and Ulfren. He realizes that with Dirk gone he is probably the ranking officer here. But damn, does that even mean a thing now that everything's been centuries gone? Gunnar reaches for his gun just to reassure himself. This gun has gotten him through lots of hairy situations. He once held the Q'sulth Mountain Pass singlehandedly for forty days, eating nothing but snow, and shooting 489 orcs in the process. Gunnar was lauded as a hero, which wasn't so bad, but he was also put in command of his own small troop of gunners, which wasn't as much fun as it sounded. He was glad to be put under Clawhammer's command when this unit was put together. Now someone's got to take charge and Gunnar hopes it doesn't have to be him.

"You know I respect kith and kin," Ulfren grunts to Billy, closing his eyes as their foreheads touch. "A dwarf ain't nothin' without his clan, and a clan ain't nothin' without their dwarf."
As they separate, Ulfren shoots a glance at Baern. "Don't think that your time in the woods makes you exempt from that, boy."

After a time, Phineas makes his way over to Baern. He sees that his old friend's wounds are still as fresh as ever, and he tries to rekindle a bit of the light in his eyes that once shone so bright.
"Areana, must be smiling right now," he starts. "Knowing her, she's been watching us from the heavens every day for these untold scores of years waiting for the day we all woke up. She must be pleased as an otter with a chestnut that she doesn't have to watch us standing there like statues anymore. "
Phineas hopes the imagery of Areana smiling is enough to cheer Baern up, or maybe the thought of her watching down on him help him keep from starting fights with his allies. He's seen him get into these moods and make bad decisions before.

When we get out on the ice, Phineas approaches Gunnar and strikes up a conversation. He know Gunnar is a learned man, and he hopes to run a few ideas passed him about what might have happened.
Between axe strikes, Phineas says: "Gunnar, in all your studies have you ever heard of anything like this before? During my apprenticeship I read a few accounts that might be connected, but I'm not sure. Have you ever heard of ..."

As far as history goes, Gunnar has never read about something like this, gods blasted areas, powerful mages blowing up mountain sides, but never what appears to be large scale frozen time. He knows the magic used to do this was very powerful, and that the lord dabbled in some arcane, but nothing like this.
The captain calls you all back on the ship and the wizard casts something on the ship and the front glows a light blue. The sails glide open and the ship lurches forward, breaking the ice and creating a swath through the ice. Several crew members watch over the front of the ship, they try to look casual, but they are intensely watching the thickness of the ice.

"A unique phenomenon then?" Phineas posits to Gunnar. "I'll be sure to take thorough notes in case they are of use to the Academy."

Baern nods silently to Phineas' attempts to console him. His words have awakened the pain he feels always and it throbs fiercer within him, making him want to lash out at the druid, but the sharp pain has strengthened his resolve and he holds back, walking silently to the prow to watch the ship break its way through the ice.

"Shall we move directly to Lord Reinhel's keep? Or perhaps to some high ground and get the lay of the land first? Wait, did Dirk have any maps of the island?"

The only real danger Phineas sees is the ice currently.
After a grudgingly slow pace, the ship gets closer to ice formations and rocks jutting from the frozen tundra.
"I don't think we can go much further." The captain declares.

After his song and musical accompaniment, Ulfren busies himself with wrapping Dirk Clawhammer's body in cloth and tying it secure. He prepares to carry the body by himself if need be.

Gunnar breaks out his carpenter's tools and busies himself building a sled for Dirk's body, as well as any extra supplies or provisions the group might night.

"His rites will not be performed here!" Ryyrik yells "He deserves to sleep in the land he came from not some barren frostscape that holds no meaning to any of us."
Feb 12, 2017 8:38 pm
"What's the decision, then? I'm all for Dirk watching under the land we dug," says Ulfren, his voice then growing quieter as he approaches the team. "But do we trust this lot with his watch? The dwarves on this boat might understand, but what about the others?"
Feb 12, 2017 11:25 pm
"I agree with you, Ulfren. Once widespread knowledge of our extended sleep passes amongst the crew we have no way of knowing how they'll react. Sailors are a superstitious lot and they might treat Dirk's body as a bad omen. I think we owe it to him to bring him with us where we can keep him safe."

Phineas descends down onto the ice, his gear carefully checked and stowed. The chaos of what is going on - Dirk's death, the time jump - is gnawing on the peripheral edges of his mind, but it's nice to be back in the wild again. He takes comfort in the fact that despite everyone's lives being turned upside down, snow still crunches satisfyingly underfoot and wind still whistles through one's hair. He anchors his emotions to the steady eternity of nature, and prepares for the foot journey ahead.

Gunnar gives his finished sled an appraising look, making adjustments here and there. He's just glad for something to do. The master smith finds nothing quite as unbearable than having his hands idle. Which is not to say he's unable to lie perfectly still when necessary, such as when he's on sniping duty, but that's something different altogether. He uses the Endurance's hoist to lower the sled onto the ice after Phineas.
Feb 14, 2017 7:58 pm
Ulfren waits for the hoist to be freed, then steps up to lower Dirk's body to those below.
Feb 15, 2017 1:26 am
"You have our thanks," Baern says as he leaps over the side of the boat, landing smartly in the snow. "Where to now," he says solemnly.
Feb 15, 2017 3:24 am
Having laid Dirk's body onto the sled, Gunnar shrugs into the harness and prepares to take first shift pulling the load. He points in the direction of the Endurance's current bearing. He then waves to the ship's captain and starts walking. "Watch out for thin ice!"
Feb 15, 2017 3:49 am
"We might as well see if our original job's still there," Ulfren suggests at Baern's question. "If it is, we honor the promise made by our King. If it ain't, we come back to the ship and get Dirk home."
Feb 15, 2017 6:58 am
"I second that notion. Though, it is fairly safe to say that if things have been like this for awhile, there wouldn't be enough food to support a large population here, at least not through any agriculture technique that I know."

Ryyrik nods and tosses a pole to Baern "Help you to find any deep pockets, hidden holes, and thin ice."

Baern nods. "You have my thanks," he says, jamming the stick hard against the ice.

For most of the we hours of the morning (remember the stars were out) your landscape seems the same. Some jutting rocks with ice on them, a few tops of trees. Soon though, you start seeing signs of civilization, a damaged, burnt and pillaged one. You see a few houses, coated in ice, but some look like they had been burnt or hit with catapults. You come up on these just as the sun crests the horizon and the almost full moon sinks behind it.

It appears to have been orcs, as you uncover a few dead humans and orcs in some of the rubble. They are frozen solid.

Feb 16, 2017 5:19 pm
Billy gathers some wood and starts a fire. Good a place as any to have breakfast, he announces. Billy begins whistling a tune as he opens up his Bag of Holding and pulls out his griddle and frying pan. Before long, potatoes, sausages, and eggs are frying up and flapjacks are being flipped. He plucks at his dulcimer in between the stirring and flipping. As the aroma fills the air, he announces, Soup's on, boys. He starts handing plates full of food to everyone before leaning back on his small folding chair and smiling. Anybody still here, they'll be fallin' out lookin' fer some grub.

In the home, you find sparse furnishings, a few wooden chairs, a table, a straw bed and a few cupboards. The cupboards have a few sets of ragged clothing and a hat. On another shelf you see some canned goods, some are broken open from being frozen. On the floor you see an older gentleman that is cut from ear to ear. He lays in a puddle of his own frozen blood. He is frozen solid and shows no signs of decay. Outside the small cottage is a frozen, gutted horse, several orc bodies, frozen of course, and a pile of cut wood with an old, dull and rusty ax lodged in one of the pieces of frozen wood. Several inches of thick frost cover the ground obscuring any vegetation save a few trees. Some of the trees have frozen green leaves still on them.

"Thank you Billy." He takes a mouthful, then declares: "Delicious! You are a Dwarf of many talents."
After a few moments, he speaks his mind
"Say, Billy, we found a dead human in the farm house. Looked like he was slain, then froze after he died. We probably won't be able to dig a grave in this frozen ground, but would a funeral pyre be appropriate for these people? He has waited a long time to be put to rest, and if we can give him that at least we would have accomplished something on this cursed journey."

With relish, Gunnar partakes of the food Billy prepared, then hands the group's designated cook the jars of preserved fruit and vegetables from the farmhouse's larder. As the talk turns to a funeral pyre, Gunnar wonders if it would be wise to announce their presence with a smoke column, but he leaves his thoughts unspoken for the time being. He looks for the highest vantage point available and starts climbing. Once in position he takes out a spyglass to have a look around.
Feb 20, 2017 6:35 am
Billy takes the preserved food, marking down the inventory on a piece of paper before putting them in his BoH. He starts cleaning out his cookware as he says, I imagine the humans have funerary rights same as us. Most folk won't object to a good fire taking care a their remains. But a pyre is a bit different than a cook fire. From the looks a these, there ain't even animal scavengers around, but ya never know what a big enough fire might attract. And it might be a good idea fer us to hold onto this firewood. Mebbe we gather some rocks fer a cairn, then head on our way. We gotta lot a daylight left and a good long way to go, so I spect we better get to it.
Billy starts gathering rocks to cover the human with. When the job is done and the cairn is built, he says a prayer over the human's resting place. He goes off by himself to say a prayer over the bodies of the Orcs, knowing his companions may not understand the respect he offers for even an enemy such as these.
When he returns, he says, Ryyrik, you had a chance to check the tracks a these Orcs? See where they came from? Or did this happen so long ago none a that is here ta see? As he says this, Billy puts his hand on Ryyrik's back and casts Guidance to give the ranger a better chance to track.

If Billy, as he was about to do a medicine check on these corpses, sees Ryyrik swinging, he would move to block the blow.
Feb 23, 2017 4:42 am
Phineas also moves to block Ryyrik's blow.
"However you feel about orcs, Ryyrik, this is the first evidence we've found of whatever has afflicted us all - do not destroy it! We didn't just promise our king that we would kill orcs, we promised that we would help these people. The best way to do that is to learn what we can from these statues."
"Was this what we looked like? How many others are stuck in time like this? And are they about to thaw like we have? If so, there may be many people still to save - and many orcs yet to slay."
After, Phineas will request Gunnar's counsel and confer with him on the magical nature of these statues. He'll use a help action to give advantage + guidance to Gunnar for an arcana check to understand the nature of this magic and to determine if they are going to thaw soon.

"Oy, Ryyrik!" calls Ulfren. "Let's let them dig their noses into this. Meantime, I think that orc doesn't need his axe, eh? How's about you smash that outta his grip?"

As his clan stands in the way, Ryyrik doesn't slow his swing but instead directs it into the ground avoiding the dwarf body wall. "No, this one is clearly important that my own clan would stand in its protection. Let's not destroy the things we came here to kill. Let's ignore the fact that the man inside the building is suffering the same effect as the orc and would supply the same information." he spits at the orcs feet "Don't forget to kiss his arse after you're done sniffin' it." Ryyrik walks away, pulling out a flask and chugging it while he does.

Gunnar shakes his head as he watches Ryyrik stomp off. He sets his weapon aside and examines the frozen figures.

Billy nods his head in the direction Ryyrik stalked off in. We're going to have to keep an eye on that one.

One thing's for certain, the last thing a ship o' fools like us needs is a leaky vessel.

During their examination, Phineas says "Ryyrik was right, I think. If we do not execute this orc, we are condemning this human to death when the two thaw. He is far from innocent; had we come across this scene when they were animate, we would have put an axe in him without a second thought. It would be a merciful death, no pain or suffering, and his spirit could move on to be with his ancestors."

"If everything has simply been frozen in time, then our original mission has simply been post-poned about 1000 years," Baern continues. He pulls his warhammer from his belt and walks over to the orc. "Do we finish him?"
Feb 24, 2017 3:40 pm
Billy looks sadly at his comrades. Justify it all you want by claimin' it's to protect the human. Make no mistake, you do it outta hate. I won't let a man narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. If'n one a you want the glory and honor of killing a helpless foe, it's on you. He walks off and sits a good distance away, strumming his dulcimer.
Feb 24, 2017 4:14 pm
"War is hate, Billy," Ulfren says, voice like gravel. "We was sent by our king to apply that against the orcs, as a favor for this human lord."
He unshoulders the harness on the sled and approaches the two frozen figures. "Be that as it may, Billy is right about the honor. Ain't no better fight than a fair one, and we muddy the name of our clan by resorting to the assassins' ways."
Ulfren pulls out a javelin. "Here, see if we can't switch the human's broom for this."

Baern too is uneasy at killing a helpless foe. Rummaging through his pack, he pulls out a good length of rope and cuts it off from the rest. He then uses this to tie the head of the axe securely to the orc's neck. "Should give him a nasty surprise when he tries to swing it, it should," he says matter-of-factly.
Feb 24, 2017 4:30 pm
"Might as well tie his legs together too." Gunnar suggests, before walking away. The situation has just become a mixture of sad and comical.
Feb 24, 2017 4:32 pm
"True that," Baern says, cutting another length and using it to lash the orc's legs together. Then he too walks off towards the inland.
Feb 24, 2017 5:09 pm
The friction between Druid and Dwarven ways grinds in Phineas's heart.
"So, instead killing a helpless orc we've left an old man to kill a helpless orc? Is it more sporting if the man is old or if the orc is tied up rather than frozen? Is it more just that we have given the orc a chance, however slim, to survive and kill this old man? I honestly do not understand what we have done here."
The party seems to have decided, and Phineas doesn't stand in the way of their decision, but he wonders what will happen the next time they find this scene, for there may be hundreds or thousands of orcs frozen across this island and he knows they don't have nearly enough rope.

Assuming the weapon can be slipped back in..."Aye, that's pretty much it," Ulfren says in response to Phineas. "If either unfreeze, they will earn their place in battle. If the man lives, he lives and battles again. If the man dies, he dies with honor. Ain't no sport to be had here, though I'd have saved the rope for something useful.
"But my guess is that these folk won't wake. I figure us on the boat was saved because of that wizard we had. The more I think about it, Dirk was off the boat when he froze and only us and the crew came back. And the wizard said all his stuff had no magic anymore.
"Dirk's boots didn't save him and they still work, near as we can tell. And some of you lot still have your magic things that still work, right? The wizard's the only oddball in the whole thing."
Feb 24, 2017 6:48 pm
Phineas shook his head, but decided not to voice further objections. This isn't the first time his Druidic ethics had clashed with Dwarven honour. He fought a battle like this one before with his father, and it left their relationship a desolate, lifeless battlefield. He knew how stubborn a Dwarf was with his honour, even if it didn't make one lick of sense to Phineas.
All he could do was sigh heavily. "Thank you for sharing your view, Ulfren."
Phineas rather liked the crew he was with, and it was a rare thing for him to find a place among other Dwarves. He decided that Ulfren was probably right and they'd all be frozen long enough for a more organized response to save these people. But, he resolved himself to draw a firmer line if they should encounter darker frozen tableaus.
Phineas took one last look at the old man and the orc before departing with the group.

The further the party gets, the more they see scenes of war and devastation. They don't come across to many more battle scenes, just the aftermath, bodies and carnage, frozen in place. They can feel a little more warmth and a light fog starts to swirl around.
Feb 26, 2017 1:56 am
"There are so many bodies we can't bury them all. Perhaps after we discover what happened here we can return."
"Anyone else have a bad feeling about this place thawing? We haven't found the orc army yet and I'd hate to get stuck inland when they wake up. Still, I don't see any way but forward."

"Lad, the whole place ain't nothing but a bad feeling," grunts Ulfren, pulling the sled up the rise. "Whatever happens, we deal with it like dwarves. For now we find this Lord Rain Hell or whatever his name is and figure out if we're still needed."
As he pulls the sled to follow the group, Ulfren mutters, "By my hoary backside, Dirk, I thought I told ya to lay off the sweetrolls. You weigh a ton."

"Sounds good to me." Ryyrik smiles. He offers his pole to everyone else, putting it away in his bag of holding if no one accepts it, then takes up the sled.

Gunnar takes up position off to the group's right flank, and keeps his head on a swivel as they travel.
Mar 2, 2017 4:55 pm
As the group continues its hike, scene after scene of death and devastation begins to take its toll on the normally cheerful Billy. Each meal is prepared with less and less gusto and consumed with even less glee. His attempts to keep up the spirits of the group with music and stories and jokes become more and more strained until his raucous songs become little more than somber dirges before ceasing altogether.
The forced smile on his face has become transparent to all as he says, Make no mistake, boys, it's a bad business we're about and it's gonna get worse.
For those who have gotten to know the normally energetic and playful Dwarf, Billy's increasingly somber attitude may be even more disturbing than the frozen war zone they have found themselves in.

Baern isn't helping the mood. His face is a deadpan as ever as he trudges along, though the others catch a glimpse of searing anger on his face occasionally before it vanishes into the mask his face seems to be. He seems to have no other reaction to what is going on around him, responding when spoken to with body gestures if possible and possibly with monosyllabic comments.
Mar 2, 2017 10:11 pm
Phineas isn't helping the mood either, but not for lack of trying. He tries to perk up the party with conversation, but he finds the words come out stilted and awkward. He watches as his old friend Baern's heart returns to stone, and the normally gregarious Billy grow dark and somber. Gunnar is spending more and more time afield.
Phineas decides to the best of his ability, he is going to try to sing a Dwarven song.
If they all end up laughing at me, at least they'll be laughing.
"We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
W'ell drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!"

Ulfren's mood is no different than it was when they left the ship. He trudges along and minds the sled bearing Dirk's body. The frozen statues of death and destruction elicit little reaction from the barbarian.
The song, however, does. "More from the stomach," he advises, poking himself near his diaphragm as an example of where. "But keep going. They've got to hear you."

Gunnar looks over at the others. Having served in the militia with Ulfren, he is perhaps more inured to scenes of battle than the average dwarf. The others are getting nervous, he can tell. He moves slightly farther afield, within sight but away from the singing. Truly, if there's anything at all good about this situation, it's the solitude. Not quite solitude - he can still hear the singing somewhat - but he can at least enjoy the crunching of the ice underneath his boots, in time with the steady beating of his heart.
Mar 3, 2017 12:49 am
Gunnar looks down and he sees, green unfrozen grass. The party was lost in thought and song and didn't notice the change in the upcoming landscape. There is a house a few feet ahead and a shutter on the window slams shut. A dead, unfrozen orc lays by the entrance.

Ulfren walks up to where Gunnar was, and as the other moves off, stands there wondering what the signal was for. He looks over to the house and his companion trying to open the door, and elects to remain where he is. For now.
Mar 3, 2017 4:42 am
Gunnar pauses in a crouch and looks back at Ulfren, signalling for him to watch the window. He would have whispered to the others what he saw exactly, but as Baern had gone straight to the door Gunnar had had to react quickly and cover the rear.
Mar 3, 2017 4:44 am
Ulfren nods, then looks back to Ryyrik. "I think he's gotta pee," he says with a smirk, before returning his eyes to the window.
Mar 3, 2017 4:53 am
Billy, finally noticing what's going on, starts walking straight toward the front door. AHOY THE HOUSE! he calls out in a booming voice. As he walks steadily closer, he continues to call out, but not as loudly. My name's Bildarrak Neingald, but you can call me Billy. Yers is the first sign a life we've seen in many a day, and a welcome sight it is. If'n yer short on supplies, I've food aplenty I'm willin' ta share. I can even offer you a song as we eat. I'd just ask fer a bit a news in return. As he gets to the door, if Baern hasn't already opened it, he'll knock, gently but firmly.

Phineas is trying a few diaphram-stretching exercises when he realizes everyone's rushing off.
They've found something?
He walks quickly to catch up to the rest, and sees Billy walking straight up to the door and hears his greeting. It's nice to hear a smile in his voice again.
"More likely to be ghosts here than men. Watch yourself Billy!" Phineas calls out. Realizing too late that the occupant(s) of the house could hear him too, he hastily adds "Not that there's anything wrong with being a ghost!"

"Intangibility probably does pose some day-to-day difficulties. I've read about many kinds of spirits - ghosts, shadows, spectres, wraiths ..." Phineas pauses, then picks up on Ulfren's nervousness and hastily adds "Oh, did I mention that clerics of The Mother of Safety like Billy are most adept at dispelling angry spirits?"
Phineas's Druidic training taught him that life and death are all part of the same eternal journey and nothing to fear. But now that he sees Ulfren's reaction he can't help but feel a bit jumpy too.

Gunnar is out by the trees flanking the house with his eyes trained mostly on the back yard. He doesn't have much of a view of the front door but he does know Baern and Billy are in there. He hears voices for a little while but they've since gone quiet, and he has no idea what's going on. He glances in Ulfren and Ryrik's direction - they don't seem to have stirred from their spot. Gunnar maintains his position, on high alert.

He digs into his BoH and pulls out some biscuits. It's been a spell since I had a good cup a tea and I right 'preciate it. I'd be more than grateful if I could offer you a couple biscuits.
Now I hate to get down ta business 'fore we had a chance to exchange all the civilized pleasantries, but there's bad business about an' we aim ta see what we can do about it. Did I hear ya right that it's been gettin' colder? Cause we just come from a direction where everythin's already froze solid. An' if'n the cold's headed this way, ya might not be safe stayin' here.

Ulfren finds 6 gold pieces, an empty wine flask and a heavy green ring.
The old lady pulls out a crock and pours a brownish liquid into a pot and adds some leaves. "Yes, one second I was doing in that orc and then I turned around and there was ice and snow everywhere."
As the brew heats up, you can definitely smell some kind of liquor from the pot.

Billy has a shocked look on his face. Ya mean, just now? he asks her. It just now got cold?
He looks at Phineas. Ya think mebbe we got ahead of it? That it might hit a deep freeze any minute? Or do ya think it's losin' power and slush is all we're gonna get?

"You killed that orc by yourself?" Baern says, raising an eyebrow in admiration with a tint of disbelief. To Billy he says, "It didn't just get cold. Woman, orc and world alike were frozen in time. When she thawed enough to return to consciousness, she had no recollection of being frozen at all, and it seemed as if snow and ice appeared in the blink of an eye. As the stars have shown, it has been centuries since this world was frozen initially."

Ulfren returns to Ryyrik, and waits. "Gunnar's in the back somewhere. I'm thinking those three can handle relations inside. What say we take a look around this side?"
Mar 7, 2017 2:13 am
"Ah, just the dwarf I was lookin' for, I was just about to call you over. Be on your gaurd, I sensed a lot of humanoids on our path. I say we see if any of them are orcs, we'll leave Dirk with the others." Ryyrik stands, takes a swig from his flask and offers it to Ulfren before putting it away. He gathers up Dirks reigns and starts to head towards the house where the others are.

Ulfren nods. "All right. Won't hurt to have a look around." He whistles at Gunnar (assuming the rifleman is in sight) and signals with his fingers how he and Ryyrik will scout the area on the other side.
Mar 7, 2017 8:22 am
Gunnar rises from his position and gives Ulfren a thumbs up. He decides to scout this side and loop around to meet them. Since Baern and the others still haven't come out, and there appears to be smoke coming out of the chimney, there doesn't seem to be any immediate threat. Still with the dead orc on the front porch one can't be too complacent.

If the tea takes too long, Baern will simply leave. The house and its judgmental occupant are becoming oppressive. Next time I won't try to save anyone's life, Baern mentally snarls. Would you prefer that?

You have been walking after leaving the ship for about half a day. I'd say you unfroze at night and left at first light.

Phineas takes a cup of tea and holds it, feeling the satisfaction of warmth filling his fingers.
Phineas turns to Billy, his usually cheerful voice turned serious "Billy, I think we should be moving on soon."
And then, to the old woman: "We are trying to find out what happened here with the ice, honored grandmother. With luck we will be able to return soon. Is there anything you need before we leave? Firewood to chop? Food to fill your pantry? "

"Nay, I am good, but please take this for your chivalry." She pulls out a medium sized crock, "To warm your bones on cold nights."

Ryyrik follows suit, drawing his hammer and shield, and takes lead; headed towards the nearest place he sensed a humanoid.
Mar 8, 2017 4:28 am
It's been a delight, ma'am. Seein' that orc out there, I reckon ya can take care a yerself, but do ya think there's somewheres ya can go with a few more folk around? We been seein' lots a sign a orc on our journey. Ya might can tackle one a them, but I think ya might have more trouble if a squad come over the hills.
Billy gets up to leave but pauses when he notices a hairline fracture on his teacup. Always return somethin' in better shape than when ya got it, my ma always said.

Baern comes out of the house just in time to see Ulfren, Ryyrik and Gunnar leaving. Puzzled, he ducks his head back through the door. "The others have moved on. No idea why." He then moves quickly after them.
Mar 8, 2017 6:11 pm
Phineas holds the earthenware container from the old woman like it was a priceless artifact. He casts goodberry and hands her all of the berries.
"Please accept these as a token of our gratitude. They are imbued with healing magic, and make a delicious pie. One is enough to fill you up for a whole day, but they'll wither away to nothing in 24 hours, so enjoy them while they last! May the old gods and the new keep you warm and safe." . With Eagle's Splendor still active, it is hard for him to stop waxing poetically.
Phineas bumps into Baern on his way out. "Let's move like the wind then." . Phineas moves after them at a jogging pace.
Hope someone else will offer to carry the crock of tea. Running is hard enough!

Ulfren briefly glances back. "I guess their party's over. Hope they learned what they set to learn," he says to Ryyrik.
Mar 10, 2017 7:49 am
Ryyrik ignores the "tea", for now at least, as there is possible orcs ahead. "Doubt it," he responds back at Ulfren "We already know what needs to be known and some old crone isn't goin' to have any new insight, 'specially if she thawed like the rest of us." He leans into Ulfren "Let's see if we can chase any rats out of the woodwork." He stands up, firm, takes a deep breath then yells out
[ +- ] Orcish
"BROTHERS, ON ME, WE HAVE A CHALLENGER ON OUR HANDS!"
Mar 10, 2017 7:52 am
Ulfren, lacking knowledge of Ryyrik's dialect, simply leans back at the sudden outburst. "You kiss your mother with that mouth?" he jokes.
Mar 10, 2017 8:28 am
Gunnar hears someone shouting on the other side of the property. He doesn't understand the words but he recognizes the guttural speech as orcish. Has the orc on the front porch somehow come back to life? Or has its fellows arrived? Gunnar loops around the perimeter as fast as he is able without breaking cover. When he spots Ulfren and Ryyrik, Gunnar approaches. "What's happened?" he hisses, "Are we under attack?"

"Shhh." Ryyrik scolds, as his eyes dart around the surroundings, his shield and hammer raising to a defensive position.
Mar 10, 2017 11:42 am
"Are you mad?" Baern asks, not understanding what Ryyrik said but getting the idea behind it. All the same, there is a fire in his eyes that says he is ready for combat.
Mar 11, 2017 7:21 am
Phineas looks around at everyone, a little puzzled about what is going on. After everyone listens intently at the wind for a response to Ryyrik's ruse, he hoists the earthen jar.
Tea?
Tea?
Mar 11, 2017 12:18 pm
Ryyrik no longer hushes his voice but instead loudly says "Either it's just villagers left or we be dealing with some COWARDLY orcs, which isn't saying much, seeing how every orc I've dealt with wets in their britches." he finishes with a hearty laugh into an air.
Mar 11, 2017 3:11 pm
Baern uses this time to attune to nature, searching for any humanoids in the area.
Mar 11, 2017 3:36 pm
Onward to Reinhel's castle then. We may not have much time before this island weakens.
Mar 11, 2017 4:36 pm
Alright, girls, Billy says as he straps himself in for his turn at pulling the sled. If'n yer done shakin' yer fists at the clouds, let's get this show on the road. Things're thawin' out so you'll have plenty opportunity to play with yer toys.
Mar 11, 2017 5:28 pm
Ulfren shrugs. "Maybe they just didn't hear you, Ryyrik," he says, and turns back to the sled to assist in pushing.
Mar 11, 2017 11:19 pm
As you travel further, the slush turns to mud and you are definitely on the trail. You pass dead humans and orcs along the way. A few houses sit a little ways ahead of you.
Mar 12, 2017 2:58 am
As is his custom, Gunnar separates from the group to flank them from about 50 feet away.
Mar 12, 2017 4:26 am
I am getting more and more anxious to find these orcs. If we find this hamlet is at peace then I say we move on without delay.
Mar 12, 2017 6:51 pm
"Agreed," Baern grunts. All this walking is keeping the rage pent up within him, and its not healthy.
Mar 15, 2017 2:46 am
Billy let's go of the strap to the sled and approaches one of the people. Hello, friend. Do you need help? Do you know what's happened to you?
Mar 15, 2017 6:43 am
Ulfren plants a boot on the sled to keep it from sliding off unattended, and waits. He's perfectly fine letting the talkers do their talking.
Mar 15, 2017 7:02 am
Phineas holds back beside Baern while Billy engages the locals. He's seen his mood worsen, and it was already bad to begin with.
He used to be so different.
Phineas recalls those halcyon days in the elven groves, how happy Baern had been, how alive he had been. This entire journey, even before all this freezing business, Phineas has struggled to talk with Baern, turning ideas over in his head, rehearsing sentences, phrases, anything.
How are you feeling, old friend? - no.
Looking forward to killing those - no.
This weather, amirite? - um, no.
Phineas had another thought. After rehearsing it several times, he opened his mouth and spoke:
"Next time we make camp, care for some sparing? I haven't wildshaped since the ice magic froze us, and I want to be certain all of my powers are functioning as I expect them to. Plus, might be healthy to blow off some steam."

Ulfren turns to those who are not speaking to the townsfolk. "We ought to build a proper coffin for Dirk," he says quietly. "Even simple wood will do until we can get him back home. Let's think about how we might get some supplies for it."
Mar 15, 2017 10:39 pm
Baern shakes himself as Phineas speaks, as if waking. "Huh? Oh, yes, I think that would be good. Remind me, and I'd be more then happy to cross weapons with yeh."

Mar 16, 2017 9:28 pm
"Over there!" He points to a chasm off in the distance.
The houses don't look that old, but ice and snow are melting off of them. All of her items seemed frozen in time and to not have aged.

Ulfren remains behind the sled, pushing it with his quarterstaff to help guide it along.
Mar 17, 2017 9:51 pm
So, just to be certain, you are heading down the pass to low ground not above on high ground?
Mar 19, 2017 12:10 am
The pass is muddy and has heavy ruts from wagons in it. There are at least a dozen boot prints in the muck leading away.
Mar 19, 2017 2:19 am
"Wagons. Have we stumbled upon Orcish supply lines? I would expect they would pillage for supplies, but a siege might have necessitated more organization."
"Say, do you recall that story of how Dirk once captured a Hobgoblin supply train, then ran the wagons stuffed full of his soldiers into the heart of the enemy's camp? That was a good tale."

This is gettin' ta be ridiculous. Billy stops Phineas and Baern pulling the sled. Here. He hands his Bag of Holding to Phineas, indicating he should hold it open. He inspects the corpse of their fallen leader to make sure he didn't come back to life when things thawed out. If he didn't, he hefts him up over his shoulder and, as gently as he can, lowers him into the bag. No disrespect meant, Cap'n. He closes the bag, hefts it back onto his back, and says, There. Now we ain't a spectacle pullin' a sled over mud.
Mar 22, 2017 4:40 pm
Ulfren, who had been pushing the sled with little difficulty ever since the old woman's house, stood and watched in silent amusement as the others struggled with it, just to see how they'd do.
With a chuckle and a shake of his head, he finally mutters, "Don't seem right, but I ain't hearing him complain." Ulfren continues forward.

Come ta think of it, Phineas, the old woman seemed ta think we brung the ice with us after she killed the orc. He listens to Gunnar's report and claps him on the back. Well, my boy, it ain't yer area, but yer the closest we got to an expert!
He hoists his pack onto his shoulders and says, I reckon we ain't gonna learn any more from these-- Did ya hear that? He pauses at the sign of movement and casts Guidance on whichever of the party's skilled hunter/trackers investigate.

Phineas's mind races, ever more cautious than courageous.
Is this a scout trying to get back to its host, or is this an ambush we are being lead to?
Phineas calls out "It's a goblin! We aren't going to catch it in a foot race! And for the All-Father's sake, watch for ambush!"
Oh gods, we're awfully spread out. This could be a disaster!

He has a mournful look on his face as he laments this tremendous loss of life, even if it is that of a vicious enemy. He quietly finds a log to sit on, sets his dulcimer on his lap, and plays something somber as Gunnar and the others search the bodies.

My hammer has been waiting 1,000 years for some action and it's rude to keep things waiting." he hoists his shield and hammer up, eagerly awaiting Ulfren's answer.

They made us into a unit and Dirk, bless his boots, saw somethin' in each of us that he figured was gonna work.

Gunnar pauses with his finger on the trigger, listening to Ulfren's words. It's true, it feels like this squad is falling apart, and Gunnar knows he's played a part in that with his desire to find some solitude to sort his thoughts. Maybe they've all been struggling with trying to wrap their heads around this magical freeze and this thaw a thousand years later and what that means for each of them.

Phineas can barely hear Ulfren at this range, but the gist of it gets through. Phineas painfully realizes he's just as responsible for pulling the group in another direction rather than working to forge a consensus, getting lost in his thoughts and fretting, and forgetting his responsibilities to those around him. Being part of Dwarven society has never been easy for him, and here was one place he felt he belonged. He couldn't let this unit fall apart; for himself and the people here depending on them. He will not.
He raises a signal to Ulfren that he hasn't used since Dirk's passing:
I'm with you, Captain. Awaiting your lead.

Baern stands by silently as the others argue, maintaining his hidden state. When Gunnar fires, Baern hunches over and his form is surrounded by a swirl of elemental green. A moment later he stands, his form completely that of a huge, humanoid-like tree. With a the creaking, thunderous sound of trees swinging in the wind, the new Baern swings hard at the frost orc with his hammer. The head of his weapon is now entwined with thick, spine-covered vines which add to the power of his blow.

So, if you have don't get two attacks, but can dual wield two handed weapons in large form, but take penalty for light weapons.

Ryyrik closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and exhales peacefully "Ah, do I miss that smell." he opens his eyes and approaches Phineas and pulls him in for a hug "C'mere, brother, I apologize for my brashness earlier. I've had my hatred to orcs bottled up for at least 1,000 years, just needed to get it out of me, ya' know."

He puts his hand on Ryyrik's chest and, with his other hand, holds up a symbol consisting of a pair of interlocking rings. He closes his eyes and says, May the Mother bless and keep you. Ryyrik feels the healing energy of the matriarch of the Dwarven pantheon flow into him. Billy opens his eyes again and stares frankly at Ryyrik. You keep rushin' in like that and one a these days, I ain't gonna be able ta do anything about it. But since yer still limpin', lemme help ya out a little more.

Apr 29, 2017 7:39 pm
Billy returns Ryyrik's grip and says, Our mission's back there in the past. We gotta accept that and figger our new place in all this. That's our mission now. You keep tryin' ta grab hold what's gone down the river, you ain't never gonna find yer place. We gotta take our comfort in the sky and the moon and each other. The earth ain't nuthin but a boneyard filled with men who couldn't do that, and I don't want you ta be one a them.
Billy looks at the others in turn and speaks up.
That goes fer the lot a ya. We gotta be done with blindly followin' what we was told however long ago we was told it. Things've changed and we gotta change with 'em. We let rage or despair dictate our actions, we might as well walk ourselves off a cliff.
He smiles and starts digging in his pack. As he starts pulling out his cook gear, he motions to the giant-like orc and says, I know you girls are itchin' to find out what you can about that wretched creature over there, and this looks like as good a time as any ta fill our bellies.

Now, we can get back on that ship yonder and sail back home, and ask our king if we should keep on going. Or we can get to that keep and see if that high lord is still in charge and still fighting orcs.

Pull those panties outta their bunch, Ulfren. Nobody said a damn thing about abandoning the mission. What I'm sayin' is that somethin's happened and things have changed. We need to be able to change with it or we ain't gettin' the job done. Blindly stickin' to the path when the path's moved gets you nowhere but lost. Now sit down and eat. You ain't gonna be able to keep bein' so contrary if ya don't keep yer strength up.
As seems to often happen, Billy ate his fill while preparing the team's meal, so he sits and plays an upbeat ditty to keep up the boys' spirits.

"Where I come from," Baern adds between mouthfuls of soup, "paths are not set in stone as is the way of the dwarves. The trees are living, and will sometimes aid the Circle by changing a path. In this manner, if I come to a place where I know the path led straight North but the trees have shifted so it leads West, I follow. The path had shifted, and yet I follow it. Billy is suggesting that our path has shifted, and we can no longer leave the path and blunder through the undergrowth because we think the path before us is erroneous." Having said his piece, he returns to his soup. This is the most any of you have heard Baern say at one sitting in a long time.

Billy hits a final, outsized note on his dulcimer and, with a wide friendly grin, shouts, Then let's pack it up and go find that path! He gives his gear a cursory scouring, packs it away, and starts moving out in the direction of the keep, whistling as he goes.

Phineas listens intently to the others talk while ravenously eating Billy's delicious soup. As people quiet down and begin packing up, he speaks quietly to nobody in particular.
"Maybe when you're lost in the woods, it's not about finding new paths but remembering which direction is true north."
"I've chosen a path that many of our people think is foolish at best, and heretical at worst - my Father among them. There have been many nights where I questioned whether I had gotten lost. But, being here with you all, I feel like I have found some peace in that. My talents may be Elven in nature and my courage a work in progress. But, my loyalty to my duty and kin are as set in stone as any good dwarf and that is my lodestone to find my way when I am lost."
"Billy, you're right that we might need to adapt to our situation, but in times like these it is just as important to stay true to our nature lest we become like a leaf on the wind."

Gunnar takes a long pull on the flask and hands it back to Ryyrik. "Thanks, my friend. NOW I'm ready."
May 12, 2017 11:04 pm
Phineas quietly smiles to himself. It seems as if the team is back to its old self; perhaps the recent tussle took the edge off their unique situation? He ponders the importance of violence in Dwarven culture as the team readies itself for the next leg of the journey.

Ulfren sighs, as it seems nobody really went to inspect the dead frost orc. He steps out of the ropes that pull the sled and walks over to the corpse. However, Ulfren only does the bare minimum of poking the corpse with the knob of his axe to see what can be found.

Gunnar and Ulfren both find a giant club.
Phineas finds a pack barely attached to some tattered cloth on the giants back. In the pack are some very rotten and decayed rations, a letter in orcish and 6 gold pieces.

Ulfren hmphs. "I guess the thing can read," he says flatly, remembering its behavior prior to combat. He goes back to the sled to carry whatever cargo the team sees fit to load, and waits for the group to move on.

"Crag, I will hunt you down and murder you and your family when I get done here. See distant lands, meet interesting people you said. It will pay for herbalist school and you can stay at peace, you'll probably only cook or be doing something mundane like that you said. I have had to kill scores of these humans to keep the slave masters happy. I will find you!"

"I do believe that falls under the scope of the operations budget, Ryyrik. Perhaps we should move on; I suspect there are taverns awaiting liberation as we speak."

Then let's git the dern show on the road! exclaims Billy. He attaches a strap to his dulcimer and begins playing a little traveling music.
May 18, 2017 2:06 pm
Traveling down the road, you converge with another road.
The surrounding area is spotted with houses, some burnt, some intact. The keep is off in the distance, but looks like it can be reached late evening. The buildings become more numerous, a many of them destroyed. A shoulder high wall is in the distance. It looks as if the road went through a gate and by two small buildings. The once ornate cobblestone wall is destroyed for most of the side, apparently the army came through here. People are milling about and look confused and misplaced.
Passing the wall reveals carnage the likes most have never seen. Bodies lay everywhere, torn in pieces and some have been reduced to pudding. Water pools and drips from the battlefield, the ramparts, siege engines, everything. The keep is on the other side of this charnel pit.

Ulfren plods along, pulling the sled. He says nothing to any of the people milling about, at least as far as starting the conversation. The barbarian has his objective in sight now and decides the best course is straight.
May 18, 2017 4:13 pm
Gunnar reads Ulfren's intention and nods his approval. Best get to the Keep without any further distractions.
May 18, 2017 4:23 pm
Billy does his best to keep his own spirits up, but the devastation is overwhelming. He puts his dulcimer away, music seeming inappropriate at a time such as this. He looks forlornly around him, knowing that his ability to heal would be exhausted long before the line of injured people ceased. By the time the group makes it passed the siege engines, he is no longer able to hold back the tears and weeps, openly but silently, as he plods forward.
May 18, 2017 9:33 pm
Baern seems unfazed by the carnage around him, his face stony and set upon the keep.
May 18, 2017 10:56 pm
Phineas is saddened and sickened by what he sees. He's seen his share of battlefields, but he's never seen the aftermath of a siege before. He retreats in his mind to a place of logic, pushing away his emotions. He ponders how some of his druidic teachers used to say that war and civilization are inseparable.
Is war a necessary consequence of civilization?
He follows behind Ulfren, silently pondering this question.

The field before you to the keep is a mess of mud, bodies and melting ice and blood. Across the courtyard, some soldiers are clearing bodies and tossing them onto carts.

Ryyrik follows behind and to the side of Ulfren. His shield and warhammer rest comfortably ready at his side.

Gunnar slings his rifle onto his back as he doesn't anticipate any need for it anytime soon. "So it looks like everyone just thawed out today, same as us." he says to no one in particular. "Does that mean the war's still on?"
May 26, 2017 9:23 am
"I'd imagine it's still goin' on. Just because people got froze, doesn't remove the hatred between the battling side, just put it on hold for a bit. Ryyrik responds back to Gunnar.
May 26, 2017 3:37 pm
"Aye," agrees Ulfren, plodding through the mud. "If that be the case, then they's have looked at it like we did. But we had that wriggly fella on the boat, what said many years had passed because he wasn't strong anymore. I figure Rain-Hell and the orcs gotta have same kinda folk, too, so they's prob'ly know already."
May 26, 2017 11:05 pm
"Even if the hostilities have resumed, it seems this magical flash freezing has disproportionately affected the orcs, killing most but turning a handful into giants. If the giant orcs are all as dumb as that last one, we could work with the humans to round them up pretty effectively."
"Honestly, I am more worried about the destruction of the land. With the crops destroyed, how will these people be able to feed themselves? I suspect starvation might yet be the greatest foe this island nation faces. Fortunately, gold freezes just fine. Hopefully King Reinhel's coffers are full enough to afford to import food for a year as they rebuild. Perhaps we can assist in this regard as well?"
"Either way, King Reinhel is the man to speak to."

But after a moment, he pauses. "What?" he says, frowning. "What about that giant makes you think it was 'cause of the ice?"

"I admit, it is only a hypothesis, but: I suspect not just the ice itself, but the magic that caused the ice also caused the transformations. I have read a very large portion of the entirety of Dwarven literature on orcs, and I've never seen a reference to giant blue orcs before."
"To start with, they are blue, and turning blue is a common reaction to cold. Most humanoids' extremities turn blue when exposed to excessive cold. Our bodies naturally conserve heat by decreasing blood flow to our hands and feet, which is why they turn blue. My father's texts on the medical were very clear on the subject."
"Also many ice creatures are blue: Blizzard Golems, Gelugon, Frost Giants, Frosteye Basilisks, Ice Elementals, Ice Mephits, Ice Toads, and others. I concede that I have never met any of these creatures in person, but the illustrations in Dimgol's Manual of Monsters are considered highly accurate by all Dwarven scholars in good standing." †
"And of course, they are giant: an unnatural condition and almost certainly the result of magic. I can think of no natural reason why an orc would be so large."
"So, I feel it is a reasonable hypothesis that giant blue orcs are the byproduct of a major ice magic event."
† Although admittedly, Blue Dragons are not associated with cold, nor are Genies or Blue Slaadi. Hmm, I'll have to consider that if I publish these findings at some point.

The barbarian resumes the walk to the keep.
"Yes, we turn blue when it's cold and black when we freeze," says Ulfren, very familiar with such conditions. "Why is it that only the orc turned giant? All the other orcs we saw, frozen or not, stayed the same size. Why only orcs and we seen no humans get big and blue?"

"For all our efforts to control it, magic is inherently chaotic. There might not be a reason for why that orc changed, and why not a human. For all we know that was only creature on the whole island that was affected, or perhaps there are giant blue men and orcs walking about right now and we just haven't found them yet."

Ulfren considers the hypothesis some more. Finally, he shakes his head in a manner that conveys the whole thing is way too complicated to devote any further brainpower to, and to his thinking bears no further discussion on his part.
Jun 2, 2017 3:58 am
Gunnar, on the other hand, is intrigued by Phineas' hypothesis. "Bear in mind though, that freezing causes most materials to shrink. But it's true, magic is wild and often defies natural laws. Or seems to defy them, until previously unknown or misunderstood natural mechanisms become understood. I wonder if that creature's transformation was deliberate or if it was a mere side effect?"

Outwardly it appears to be about two blocks away. ;)
The ground is still covered in gore, but most of the bodies are being cleared up. a dead gobling with a collar and chains is being carried through the court yard.

Ulfren continues forward, striding across the courtyard. He will stop before any of the great doors that would appear to be the front entrance, and announces himself and his companions, proclaiming that they have been sent by their king to provide assistance to Lord Reinhel, and to request an audience.
Jun 10, 2017 11:58 pm
A man in robes of silk is walking in just ahead of you, "No one is holding court, it is an open door policy for now. You might as well walk in. Don't start trouble though, a few guards linger around in the shadows."
Jun 11, 2017 12:06 am
Ulfren shrugs off the makeshift sled harness and leaves it where it is. He strides forward after the silk-robed man, not bothering to wipe his boots.
Jun 11, 2017 10:15 pm
The inside of the castle is literally dripping with water and slick on all surfaces. It appears though, the fighting never made it into the castle. You follow right into a common room and there is someone walking around with a regal air to him with two kids in tow. He rarely takes his eyes off of them. He is talking to several other people.

Everyone has stopped and is looking at the new comers to the hall. Their eyes go from Ulfren, to Phineas, to Billy and back to Phineas.
Jun 20, 2017 12:54 am
Seeing as how the talkers are busy talking between themselves, Ulfren takes another step forward. "We come from the King Under the Mountain, Dwarven Lords of Earth and Stone, honoring the call to arms from Lord Rain-Hell and reforging the bonds of friendship between our clans!" he announces.
Jun 21, 2017 4:19 pm
Phineas is still flipping through the Illustrated Guide to Adventuring on Human greeting customs and misses his opportunity. He looks up hearing Ulfren speak, and decides it was all for the best. He turns to the party and whispers just loud enough for the rest of them to hear: "A fine prolegomenon! Ulfren is looking more like Captain Clawhammer every day."
He carefully places the velvet ribbon bookmark between the pages of the entry on Humans, for quick reference or to make notes in the margins on the fly.

I am Krig, new head of the soon to be reorganized army. Theirs here is the lord and his children.". The man talking is damp and has a little blue hue to his lips.
"Well met indeed my friends. I welcome you with open arms, welcome to my lands. Are any of you injured or in need of food?" The lord asks.

Ryyrik's ears perk up "I'd be right happy to eat some food, especially if it's accompanied by some ale." he lets out a hearty laugh.
Jun 22, 2017 12:42 pm
"Ale! Now we're talking!" Gunnar laughs, then catches himself. "We are grateful for your hospitality. But we were sent here to aid you, and though the enemy may have been repelled, from what we've seen your people outside seem to be in bad shape. Perhaps we may be of some assistance before we take refreshment."
Being a dwarf of few words Gunnar seems exhausted by this (to him) long-winded speech. He coughs, and longs for the aforementioned ale.

Hearing Gunner's speech, Ryyrik stops laughing, clears his throat, and stands as tall as he can.

A dwarf with some drink, is a dwarf that can think." He resumes laughing, completely giddy at the thought of ale from a different land.
Jun 22, 2017 6:45 pm
Ulfren waits until some of the mirth has subsided. "You got rid of the orcs by yerself?" he asks of the lord, squinting his eyes. "We seen some orcs on our way here, frozen like they got caught in the ice. Plus a goblin and a giant still wandering about. What happened?"
Jun 23, 2017 10:42 pm
"We have ale, it's been aged for almost 500 years, well, sort of. Let's have a feast in three hours time. We shall have food and ale and discuss the problems we face and the reasons behind what you have come to find here. Would you like a few rooms to clean up and refresh yourselves?" lord Reinhill claps and a few servants come out of the side rooms with pitchers. "They can show you to your rooms if you like."

Ulfren pauses. He appears ready to speak his mind, but keeps quiet. Instead, he looks to one of the servants that approach and says, "Fine. Where's your cemetery?"

Rooms and feasts and aged ale, mutters Billy as he looks around. There seems to be an awful lot of sufferin' goin' on all around us for talk of such luxuries. The lot of you can carry on as if folk don't need help, but I'll be doin' what I can ta ease the sufferin' I see around me. Billy does very little to hide the contempt in his tone as he turns without leave and stomps off to offer whatever aid he can.

"I'll let you take leave then. Do not worry, I won't trap you in my ice again. I have just met my children again for the first time in over 1000 years, So pardon me for wanting to celebrate their return and offering hospitality is what we do here. You can take word back to your people if they still live and thank them for aid, late as it might have been." The lord replies as he gathers his children up in his arms and turns to leave.
Jun 24, 2017 1:08 am
A female servant points back to a door and says, "The cemetery will be back there."
Jun 24, 2017 2:12 am
Ryyrik calls out cheerfully to the lord "I, for one, am looking forward to take part in your hospitality; don't see why everyone is so adamant of keeping the gloomy feeling going after being cased in ice for some 1,000 years. I'm thankful, I gets to use my legs again, gets to swing my hammer, get to return to my clan, and get to drink ale again." His cheerful gaze fades and turns more stoic as a thought catches up with him Ah...cemetery. He smiles back at the lord, though less cheerful this time around "Enjoy your kids company. Then get this ale ready, I've been sober for 1,000 and plan to make up for lost time." He turns and makes his way to where the female servant pointed.

"Handmaiden please take the children to clean up."
They leave the room and the lord turns to the party,
"Yes, my ice. I have held my powerful magic back for most of my life as it is intoxicating and would certainly take me into it. When the army came to the gates, we exchanged words and they brought forth pikes with guards and my wife impaled upon them. I guess my restraint collapsed and magic surged from me. It changed everything into a barren land of ice. The only things not frozen were turned to my slaves to search for my children. Only orc blood should have died in the blast, so I am unsure as what happened to this Dirk you speak of."

I mean, look at us, we came out of the blast fine; I don't think it was the ice that killed Dirk. Honor Dirk, wait, calm down then if you still think he is to blame, I will stand by your side."

Phineas decides the wounded land necessitates him speaking to the human lord. He sorts out a few tricky verb conjugations that always confuses him in the human tongue, then stumbles ahead:
"Um, pardon me your, erm, Lordship? On account of the thousand years of ice, it would seem your nation's agricultural output will be severely stunted for this year, maybe more. May I ask: how are your people going to manage this?"

It bothers Phineas how easily Reinhel speaks of the destroyed environment. Quite surprising, and most surprised is Phineas himself. In many ways his practical Dwarven upbringing, heavily steeped in industry and progress, made it difficult to accept the teachings of The Circle that put much more value on nature's right to exist as it is than the right of Dwarves to put nature to use.
He grit his teeth, bowed, and bid the King a good rest.
Then Phineas joined Ulfren and others in the crypt.
"This isn't a worthy place for a hero like Dirk Clawhammer, Ulfren."

"It is not," agrees Ulfren, "but it'll have to do. I ain't stuffing Dirk in these bags while we wander about this place tryin' to figure out what's what. This is only temp'ry afore we head back home, where we can return him to the rock and stone he was chiseled from." He sets to the task of claiming the empty crypt and constructing an appropriate marker to designate the (temporary) resting place of Dirk Clawhammer.

Phineas considers mentioning that a Bag of Holding is at least airless, and Dirk would decompose less in the bag than the crypt. But, he thinks better of it. Ulfren's reasons were probably solid, and he trusted them enough that he didn't need to hear them. Phineas just nods.
"So when do we leave for home?"

Ulfren huffs a breath. "It is rare for a dwarf home to change. We're like the very rock. But even a mountain will change its shape given enough years."
He looks away, and down to the ground. "I honestly have been trying not to think 'bout that."

Phineas pauses and regards Ulfren. Seeing the big Dwarf looking that way, looking awful tired, gave him an idea.
"Fuck it. You think their ale froze? Gotta be a place to drink in this icy old keep. Probably where Ryyrik and the rest of them ended up anyway. The first round and the first song's on me!"
Phineas pauses.
"Though, it might be unwise to spend these coins of ours. They're a thousand years old! Might be worth something more these days! Never thought we'd get rich on army pay, but who knows eh?"

In a slump over the loss of their leader and potential drastic change of their home since following the faux ceremony, Ryyrik's ears perk up and a slight smirk dons his mouth. He rushes over and bear hugs Phineas "Now your speaking my language; I knew you had it in ya', Phiney-boy." he drops Phineas and whips his bag off "Now, what kind of toast would it be without ale? I assure you no Codeci toast, that's for certain!"
He begins pulling flask after flask out and handing it to every dwarf present. Without waiting, he breaks the flask top off and starts to chug it, he stops and places the flask next to Clawhammer "To Clawhammer!" he looks to the sky "Where ever you are you crazy fool, you better save some ale for me when I join you or I'm sending your ass back here to bring back more." He turns and begins to leave, he throws up two fingers above his head as he walks "I'm expectin' two free drinks now, ya woody basta'd."

Baern has watched silently as this has gone on. He did not know Clawhammer particularly well, but he can understand the respect his fellows have for their leader. As Ryyrik hands him a flask, he uncorks and raises it, echoing Ryyrik's toast sadly but confidently. Then he takes a long draught, feeling the liquor melt the ice from body and soul alike.

As the party lays Dirk's remains to rest, however temporary it might be, Billy plays a funeral hymn, attempting to stall for time while he thinks of words to say for the fallen Dwarf.
What can be said about Dirk Clawhammer? Billy begins, attempting to give their fallen leader something resembling a eulogy. A fine leader. I pray to Berronar Truesilver that she bring him to her bosom. He died leading us... He pauses and appears to be chewing on his own words. An uncharacteristic anger mars his usually smiling face as the words turn to ash in his mouth. He died for nothing, he says, bitterly. The "noble" Dirk was leading us to caused his death. He committed genocide out of anger and revenge. He no more cares that he caused Dirk's death than he cares for the Orcs he killed. Or for his own people whose lands he has ravaged. Amen.
He turns and walks away before Ryyrik offers up drinks, going back to see what he can do to help alleviate the suffering he witnessed.

Phineas is tempted to go after, Billy but decides to give him some space. He hopes very much that he will find peace in serving the gods and these people.
When they return to Ryyrik's room, he finds the meagre bottles of alcohol and starts pouring out rounds.
"We've all been holding ourselves together by focusing on our mission and now that it's done, we're falling apart. Maybe we got it wrong; we shouldn't be mourning for Dirk at all. Dirk is the lucky one, he's been off in the Halls of the All-Father all this time. Maybe he's down there mourning for us."
He looks at the label and reads the faded letters: Reinhel Estates Blackberry Wine. He takes a swig of the stuff, curious as to what the humans drink.
"What? Are you serious?"
He looks back at the label, confused, but finds no answers.
"It's just ... children's juice! It's gotta be less than 10% alcohol!"

Ulfren waited while the others made their peace, listened as they voiced their hearts and minds. He let them depart for their own meditations while he stood at the makeshift crypt, and even gave a nod to Baern for the treeman to go his own way.
When he was left alone with Dirk, Ulfren stood in silence, hands clasped around his belt. After a minute of contemplation, he spoke quietly, "Sorry 'bout that. I know you were never one for words, but I felt the boys needed to speak. And you ain't getting any more rest 'cause I aim to say more.
"Billy said that this was a waste. He's right, in a way. We both woulda said something 'bout how no dwarf ever wasted a challenge, and a forfeit's just as good a win as hammerin' out a tight spot. But Billy's right. It's one thing for one of us to fall during battle, but the battle changed before we even got to the pitch, and now you're gone. And not just you, but a whole bunch of folk that, by all I see, ain't human. And that got me thinkin'.
"Did this ice reach the Sundershield? Me wife, me boy. Are they alive? Are they cold as the tomb, Dirk? Are they like you?"
Ulfren paused, and his words squeezed through his throat, tight and thin as though they've barely escaped his grip. "What am I going to find when I go home?"
The barbarian remained by the crypt, and shuddered quietly in the waning thaw.

Ryyrik takes a sip of the "refreshments" given "If this is the water they normally drink, any thing made by a dwarf would knock them flat." He says as he removes his hammer. He tosses the bottle into the air and takes aim at it...sending it's contents scattering amongst the room. "Dwarven drink would be wasted here, your talents would be better used back home. Back where it would be appreciated." Ryyrik plops down onto the floor, sniffs, and wipes his arm across his nose.

After a very pleasant meal and long hours of discussion, it was decided the Dwarves no longer needed to help the area as the Lord had everything in order. He was going to use his magic to restore his lands and believed the group should head home and find out what happened there during their long slumber. The ship voyage was without incident, and they stayed away from the shore, not knowing what might have changed. The ship came into the large bay area on the coast by their homeland and avoided any civilization.
We pick up as the group has just left the ship and night is approaching. The land still looks like you never left. The plains stretch out before you and in the far off distance, meet the great mountain you call home. Across the bay is still the wooded forests the elves lived in. The party is looking at a day and a half to 2 days ride from here to the entrance of their home.

Before their departure from Lord Reinhel's domain, Ulfren sought to gather Dirk's body for the journey home. He requested a coffin to be built, or at the very least, some supplies in order make one with true dwarven craftsmanship. Whether made of wood or stone, Ulfren was willing to port the coffin the entire way back to the ship, and is equally prepared to do the same once on dwarven soil.
He spoke little during the sea voyage, but it was not difficult to see that Ulfren looked upon their return with trepidation. The barbarian fidgeted with little things, perhaps trying to take his mind off the many possibilities they might expect.
Now back on familiar ground, Ulfren breathed deeply. Hefting the coffin, he took a single step forward.

The scrub and sparse trees leave little protection from the sun. The area seems a little different though, less alive. No one has caught any glimpses of wildlife, not even a bird. The grass here has no trails through it, save the one the party is making. Up in the distance, the sounds of trickling water can be heard, this should be where a good size stream running this time of year.
Jul 21, 2017 2:15 am
Gunnar can't shake the feeling of unease. What if home is unrecognizable? Or home doesn't recognize them? "I seem to remember that being a bigger stream." he says quietly. "Should be even bigger with the big thaw."
Jul 21, 2017 3:14 am
Ryyrik grunts as he readjusts his grip on Dirk's casket "One could hope that our home was frozen in time with us and came out the same as we did. Maybe with the distance, they are just starting to thaw out...that would explain the lack of wildlife and a heavy stream. Aye, one could hope."

1st Level: Detect Magic, Goodberry, Speak with Animals (R), Thunderwave
2nd Level: Locate Object, Pass Without Trace
Now that they arrived, the strangeness of the wild lands bothered him. His first instinct was to visit the Elves to find out what was going on, but he knew that there was no path but under the mountain for this group today. Unable to lift Dirk's coffin very effectively, he took up point and decided he would play the role of guide, and help find the easiest path for the funeral procession to embark upon.

The closer to the mountains you get, the darker and more foreboding the sky seems. No smoke rises from the mountain, if the forge was operating, which it always did, there should be. A raven watches your every move, it is the first sign of life you have seen.
Traveling closer to the mountains, you see a once well worn stone path that led the way to the city, but now is overgrown and lays mostly unused. A boulder blocks too much view up ahead, but there should be an outpost just on the other side of it, if memories can be trusted.
As the path bends around the boulder, the outpost comes into view. The once master carved stone tower is crumbling at the edges and vines cover the majority of it. A slow shuffling figure moves into the doorway and slowly shambles inside, dragging a foot behind it.

The outpost is circular from the outside and is very worn. It has a set of double doors in the front and they stand open, the hinges long broke and in disrepair.

Gunnar continues his circuit of the outpost's perimeter. If he encounters nothing he will join the others at the front entrance.

"I don't mean to presume what everyone is thinking, but I just wanted to say that if our kin are living in that outpost, we have to be ready to issue them considerable slack, even if they are hostile toward us. If there has been some catastrophe, they might not take kindly to strangers, might not believe us that we've been frozen for a thousand years. Not sure if I even believe it myself sometimes."

Ulfren enters through the front doorway, briefly assessing their surroundings before moving to join Ryyrik.
Aug 3, 2017 11:27 pm
Ulfren enters and the once grand entrance meets him. The Dwarven stonework is still fine, but a little worn and dirty. The tapestries hanging on the walls have rotted and only strings hold them in place. In front of him another set of double doors are open and Ryyrik is standing in them.
The figure turns around and stares at Ryyrik, the flesh not all there, but a vengeful look in it's eyes. The thing resembles an elf somewhat and holds a longsword in one gauntleted hand.

Ryyrik stumbles back slightly in shock as the reality hits him and his mind drifts to his family and home. Tears begin to form in his eyes, as he gathers himself, he growls at the figure before him "Your presence here is a disrespect to my heart and home. I will not allow you to foul up this sacred ground any longer." He charges, yelling out in dwarvish.
Also...wow, four fours; what are the odds.

Ulfren kicks a bit more stone away to clear a path. "Easy lads," he grunts as he lets his darkvision adjust. "If anyone's in there, they may be spears-out if they's expect elf-boys like our friend back there." If there's space, he tries to squeeze through the opening to enter the tunnel.

Phineas breaths deep the earthy smell of underground. Despite the current danger, he allows himself a moment to feel down to his bones the comfort of being surrounded by stone in every direction.
He follows at a distance. Although he's not much help hauling rubble, he bestows Guidance upon the strong dwarves in front of him so they might hear the stone whisper which boulders will move easily and which will cause a cave-in. He follows the others into the hole.

Hold a moment, Ulfren. I know you ain't one to look beyond the surface, but what say we take a closer look at our friends here? Billy looks over the dwarven statues, inspecting the stonework to see if there are chisel marks, any clue as to their origin. Poking here and there for any sense of magical influence.

Phineas also observes the statues, but quietly from behind. He listens for the secrets of the stones and cross-references their cryptic language with his father's magic lessons from long ago.

They were heading the same way you were done the tunnel.
The statues are perfect, every hair is exactly right. There is some spell been placed on these once living dwarves.

Ryyrik follows Ulfren, his shield and warhammer at the ready, with an angry scowl across his face.

Phineas is elated at the realization of what he is seeing.
"Does anyone recognize these Dwarves? Are they from our time?"
He looks around and only sees scowls.
"Don't you see? They are frozen, just like we were. Not in ice, but in stone! What if this happened within decades of when we were frozen? What if it happened to everyone under the mountain?"
Phineas pauses for a moment to let it sink in, and then finishes his thought.
"All of our loved ones would still be alive, just trapped in stone! If we find a way to break the spell, we may yet hold them in our arms once again!"

Understanding what Phineas is getting at from the beginning, Gunnar runs his hand over one of the petrified dwarves' faces, wondering.

"And they're warding themselves from something," continues Ulfren, voice like gravel as he presses onward. "That something might still be here."

Ryyrik follows up Ulfren's ending statement with a growl "Not for long." his fist curls tightly around his warhammer as he follows.

Phineas sounds more confident and energetic than ever before.
"I never thought of that Ulfren! I can't say if our kin warded themselves, or whether this was something inflicted upon them, but the magic they used, merging earth magicks with the arcane, that is knott that I can undo. I don't know how long it will take, but I will devote the rest of my life to that task."
"If there were ever a purpose for Wizard's son turned Druid, this is it!"

Ulfren did not voice his recognition of one of the statues as the aunt of his wife. He never got along with Vandabelle Broadshoulder, but the warrior-crone was still family and her skills in battle earned her respect. Ulfren fought the pang of loss from showing through his stony expression.
He did, however, state aloud the implication. "Hold onto that thought, Phineas. Our kin here might-a turned into stone at the same time we was in ice, but we ain't sure if it was the doing of Lord Rain-Hell or not."

"Indeed Ulfren, I don't think Reinhel is responsible. I'm just saying if it's possible for us to be frozen in ice for a thousand years and live to tell the tale, maybe our kin frozen in stone can... Oh my gods!"
Phineas stops mid-sentence as it suddenly dawns on him that one of the statues is his clan. He rushes to embrace it but his hands fall short of touching the stones.
"This is Fimblebraun Feldsparr, Master of Arms of the Feldsparr clan! He tried for five years to teach me to swing an axe. Said he never had a worse student in his whole life."
He stares in amazement at the statue, looking at every detail while beaming a hopeful smile on his face.
Uncle, I will not fail you now.

"I've heard tell of a reptilian beast as could petrify those that looks him in the eye with a mere glance. There are creatures out there 'at can do this to a fellow, I'm not so sure we should be as elated as Phineas' optimism would have us be."

Ryyrik growls at the sound of skittering, under his breath he scoffs "Better hope they are dwarves, if not the are desecrating this home and deserve no mercy; and I will be more than happy to show them the exit." It is clear, he is talking to his hammer and not to anyone in particular.

Ulfren presses forward without pause. Whatever might be lurking out of sight can just keep running if it wants to, as each step taken brings the dwarves closer to their destination.

"I haven't had any play things for quite some time. Tonight we shall feast upon their flesh!"

Billy only spares a glance Ulfren's way as he walks up to the spider. You don't do nuthin' about that. He skritches the spider between the eyes and says, Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? You are, that's who. Yes you are! Yes you are!

As his rage begins to dissipate, Ulfren spends the last of his roiling energy by decapitating the drider for a trophy. "Come on, then," he says when he finishes his deed, ready to proceed onward. "We know something's wrong if something this big can just sit here all day without someone noticin'."

The cave turns ahead again and looks to have a slope up, right into a huge web. Skeletal remains line the webbing.

Phineas returns to his Dwarven shape with a sigh of relief. After a moment of picking bear hair off of his wooden armour, he turns to Billy.
"Say Billy, do recall any stories of Driders in our land? Wars or conflicts we've had with them? I was just thinking about the drow ....""Ulfren, I have prepared a spell that will help us move stealthily through the shadows. I know it is not our usual tactic, but if these tunnels are swarming with Driders or worse, it might be prudent?"
"Ryyrik, you look a little worse for wear. Would you like some goodberries to help ease your injuries? Or perhaps you need to take a rest?

Ulfren considers things, foot on one of the drider's legs and elbow propped upon his knee. He absently twirls the drider's head by the hair. "We weren't exactly on our tip-toes just now," he says, "and Gunnar's thunderbluss ain't known for its mouse work. You know as well as I that tunnels carry sound far and away; why, we use 'em as advance warning signals in the frontier. Anyway, if there are more of these things climbing about, chances are they already knows we's here."

"Sound reasoning, Ulfren. Well, my bear nose smelled no sign of monsters nearby. Shall I burn through those webs?"
Phineas creates a burning flame in his palm. Much to his surprise, it is cerulean blue.
"Curious... I'm not sure what's happening here. It feels ..." Phineas runs his other hand over the flame, and it recoils in surprise.
"Cold! Like ice ..."
He shakes the icy fire away, and wipes his hands on his armour.
"Maybe I'll just use my handaxes for a change. Seeing my old Master-of-Arms back there reminds me I should be practicing more with them anyway."
Phineas sets to hacking a path through the webbing, examining the skeletons as he gets closer.

Ryyrik, overtaken by intense emotion, has been silent as he stares at the small skeleton remains in the webbing. He places a hand on his chest and a green flash appears shortly after "Save your berries, I'm fine. I can rest when I share their fate." He scowls as he pushes past Phineas to plow through the webs.

After relaying the information he learned about the skeletons, Phineas follows after the party into chamber beyond. He nervously examines an egg sac from a bit of a distance, hiding behind his shield and a flame ready in his hand.
"What kind of animal are you? Are you a baby Drider? Do those even get ... born, or ... hatched or whatever?" he whispers quietly to the egg.

Phineas fights the urge to transform into a gazelle and spring forward. He believes whole-heartedly that his people are still alive, merely trapped in stone. He knows that it will not be easy, but he can't help but think that there's still a chance to prove to his father that his path was a worthy one.
Instead, he contents himself with matching his stride with mighty Ulfren's, and attunes his mind with the rock and wind around him.

As the party comes around the lasr bend, the terrace that leads to the gates seems... bigger. As eyes travel forward to what should be the grand gates to your ancestral home, you see rubble. A huge section of the mountain has just collapsed in on the front where the gates once stood. The stonework from the gates is nowhere in sight and seem like the mountain imploded. Other than the rubble, the terrace is empty, no bodies, no bones, no weapons, nothing but rubble.

Ulfren rests his hand on the eye of his axe, staring at the rubble. "Phineas," he says, "this look like we brought it down ourselves?"

Phineas falls to his knees when he realizes what he is seeing.
"Ulfren! The gates ... "
Somehow he had expected the gates to outlast time itself, so grand and strong were they. He pulls himself to his feet at Ulfren's steady words, and stares at him for a moment, as if seeing the strength in Ulfren's worn features could grant him the strength to carry on.
Nothing seems to come from that except Ulfren looking at him like he's a being a nit. But when courage fails, sometimes embarrassment can substitute. "Yes, I'll investigate right away" he mumbles. Then he shakes himself and approaches the massive rubble-strewn terrace.
Phineas surveys the massive boulders that choke the grand entrance of his ancestral home, but instead of focusing on those, he picks up a mere pebble. "You don't belong here," he whispers. "Tell me your tale, sad stone."

Ulfren listens patiently, wordlessly accepting one of Phineas' berries (perhaps because there's been a lack of time for hunting). When Gunnar asks his question, Ulfren turns and responds, "Which was that? The dead-elf-thing in the outpost?"
Without waiting for a reply, he looks back at Phineas. "We don't know what to expect. I only knows the land is familiar, but different, and I ain't seen any other bearded short-stack since the trip started. Whatever fiddly magic stuff you think is useful, you use it. I trust your judgment to know what it is the rest of us does best, and since this ain't no competition to see who can do it better, you figure out what your best is that can work with ours.
"As for your object finding thing, I guess if you knows something somebody always has, you can use it to see where they are. Or where they dropped it, I suppose."

Ulfren remembers the back entrance through an old mine that used to be guarded outside a small settlement.
Jan 5, 2018 6:17 am
Ulfren lets the others know of the old mine as they rest. "We can head there in the morning. If it ain't caved-in like the main gate, we can at least get inside."
He will return to tapping against the stone to hopefully send signals into the chambers beyond.

Ulfren hears no response, perhaps the cave in was too deep, or there is no one to return his call.
Jan 6, 2018 6:17 pm
Ulfren does not expect a response. However, should there be dwarves within that might hear, they ought to recognize the pattern and know that their kin are about. He's willing to take that chance, even if his hammer goes unheard.
"I guess a thousand feet kinda seems small when y'got an entire kingdom to look through," Ulfren says between taps.

"Come on, let's check out that back path," says Ulfren, breaking down camp and preparing to venture forth.
Jan 23, 2018 6:31 am
Phineas wakes up with a smile on his face, very rested.
"I feel like I've been asleep for weeks!"
Nothing like sleeping on home soil, he reflects. He rises and assists taken down the camp, and follows behind Ulfren swiftly.

The settlement lies to the west along the plains where they meet the mountain.
Jan 24, 2018 12:08 am
Ulfren paces himself as he marches westward. He opts for the path that is least difficult, reasoning that the conservation of energy is better than haste.
Jan 25, 2018 12:39 am
As you come back out of the mountains, you start seeing more signs of life and a few animals. A group of buildings is barely visible on the horizon after you walk most of the day. You should make it to them just as the sun dips below the sky line.
Jan 27, 2018 12:37 am
After a long uneventful march to the town, you come to the outskirts just as the sun is setting. The place is a dirty, old, rundown village. Most of the buildings look empty and the houses abandoned. An old man eyes you from the porch of the general store.

As he comes up to the old man, Ryyrik whistles loudly towards Ulfren then turns to the old man "What happened?"

You don't remember the village in your time.
He is human.
"To my youth? Happened to what youngin?" The man replies.
He is human.
"To my youth? Happened to what youngin?" The man replies.
Jan 29, 2018 2:15 am
Ryyrik furrows his brow and reflexively tightens his grip on his warhammer "I don't give two shakes about your youth! This village is new, yet abandoned. What...happened?"
Jan 29, 2018 2:28 am
"It’s not abandoned, it’s my home! Sure she has seen better days, but with the way things got around here, what do you expect? The three of us can’t and don’t care to do much work around here. When the dwarves stopped coming from the mine, the coin ran out. That was years ago, I can’t remember how long ago, a week, a month or a century, who knows."
Jan 29, 2018 4:15 am
Ryyrik moves closer to the man, while his tone and furrowing brow depict anger, the close proximity allow his true feelings be revealed; his eyes show a hint of sorrow and desperation "The dwarves, my kin, why did they stop coming?"
Jan 29, 2018 7:26 am
Ulfren says nothing, allowing Ryyrik his questions. He does, however, step up to his kinsman and place a firm hand on the shoulder in an act of support
Jan 29, 2018 8:50 am
With his heavy coats and furs, it is near impossible to tell by sight but by touch Ulfren feels Ryyrik's heavy and rapid breathing—although, it does slow slightly at his touch.
Jan 29, 2018 1:13 pm
Phineas watches quietly from the rear. While he wouldn't have thought Ryyrik was the right choice for talking with these seemingly gentle folk, Ryyrik is proving him wrong. Phineas decides to hang back and take up Ryyrik's role as the terse and vigilant guardian, and scans the buildings for any signs of danger or concern.

"This is Karthas, a way point between areas and I am Ethan the supplier. We used to be a stopping point on he way to the temple in the mountains and a place for Dwarves to spend their coin or valuables. Then the gods left and the temple was sealed, until a little while ago that is, some adventurers let out it's captive and left with him, but that is neither here or there. The Dwarves that were regulars came fewer and fewer times, the the ones that did come changed somewhat. Their appearance grew grey and sunken. They didn't speak much, and then those even stopped. I mustn't leave the town or I'll return to dust, so I can't help ye all out much more than that."

We simply offered trade, rest and guidance when the temple was used, now, I just sit here on this porch. Just a minor goddess, they were driven out, or bandoned us or killed. No one really knows. Their magic is still here though.

Ulfren scratches his chin. "Where's this temple? That where the rest of your people are? Maybe they have more answers?"
Feb 3, 2018 11:03 pm
An ancient looking woman walks up behind you and clears her throat, "Our people are gone, but isn't it your people you are looking for? The entrance to your mine hasn't seen use in sometime. I don't know what befell your kin, but the sense of strong and dark magic waved across this land a long time ago, about the time the dwarves from this mountain disappeared."

Ulfren nods. "You have my thanks, strange ones," he says, then turns to the other dwarves. "I make for the mine in the morning. Any that want to come with, we can camp on the edge of town."
Feb 17, 2018 8:01 pm
Phineas tags along and helps set up the camp.
"Goodberry smoothies, anyone? Maybe they got an immortal cow around here we can milk."
Once camp is set, he will sit down at the campfire.
"This is an auspicious night. Tomorrow, dwarves will once again walk beneath The Mountain. Does anyone know a song that might mark this moment?"

"I will have no infernal milk from a cursed cow to pass this beard," Ulfren snorts, but he accepts a Goodberry.
He sits with the berry uneaten in his palm, in uncomfortable thought. Finally, he says, "There is an old song we would sing when our fellows had the wanderin' hearts, the ones that thought it best to see the sky instead-a the stone beneath the feet. We used to sing it to the families they left behind as cons'lation, so maybe it's not ow-spicious like ye said."
Ulfren coughs, uncertain. After a furtive glance around, he begins, "It goes like this..."

Overnight, Ulfren scalped the drider head and dried the gruesome trophy by the fire, taking care to preserve as much of the hair as possible. The rest of the skull is discarded.
In the morning, Ulfren silently breaks camp and packs his equipment. When all is ready, he ties the drider scalp to his belt and hefts a javelin. "If you lads be ready, let's get movin'. There's a mine we aim to find!"

You head into the cave and come out in an old trail leading up. The trail appears to have been once traveled, but is now getting some rubble built up in it. The path is still clear enough to travel on, but at some spots the party is forced to zig or zig to get around some boulders. Along the path are some stone sconces that once held torches to light the path. The torches are missing, either rotted or stolen long ago. The terrain slopes up, but it is not a back breaking steep climb.
Feb 23, 2018 4:07 pm
Ulfren grunts, and looks to the trackers. "If them strange old folk are to be believed, no dwarf has walked this tunnel is a long time afore now. But before we start signalling our intentions, does it look like anything has been down here recently?"
Mar 2, 2018 11:39 pm
You step out and come to the end of some wooded area and the front of the mine is in front of you. The footprints head off up the mountain further. It appears no one has been in this area for a long time.

Ulfren nearly passes by without a second glance, but likely the shift in movement calls his attention like any hunter. He attempts his tried-and-true method of dwarven lockpicking. "Got a live one," he says as he plants his boot into the door to try and break it down.

Aug 22, 2018 10:50 pm
The gnome looks wild and savage as his eyes dart around the room, "You killed all of them? They poured out of this place and grabbed me, must have been at least twenty of them. They questioned me in a room and beat me for, I don't know, weeks?This used to place a safe haven for my people, a spring is just around the rock face, but it suddenly went dry, we thought it came from within, I had no idead the drow had come this far."

You open the door to the south and stale moist air hits you. It appears that this area hasn't been used in sometime, but still has an earthy smell. These rooms were the bunkhouse for the miners on duty here. The stone slabs used as beds are missing their rolls and little else remains to give clues about who last occupied this area.

"I've got your back, Ulfren!"
Phineas flashes his druidic focus and attempts to fill Doresli's and Ferrek's veins with ice to freeze them in place. He waits a moment to see if it works before charging across to the barred cells.
"Hey! You okay in there? Hold on a bit, we'll get you out in a giffy!"
If that clears an opportunity-attack-free path, I'll run over and open a barred cell door.

The gnome moves to the edge of the cell he is in. Dark blue, pupil less eyes stare out unblinking at the scene before him. "Hmmmm, Wuknit should help, Wuknit will" he says before muttering some arcane incantations and flicking his hand out, a film of frost begins to form over the Drow Ryyrik just hit.

He spits out a few more times before he recovers completely.
"I'm sorry, where are my manners! Nice to meet you, Wuknit! How'd you end up here? Can you tell us what happened to the ancestral Dwarf clan and their king that resided in these halls? I'm Phineas by the way, and this Ulfren, Ryyrik, and Gunnar."

Wuknit was taken by the drow, not sure what they wanted him for. Wuknit would like to be out of the cage now please"

Phineas opens Wuknit's cell.
"Wuknit, come with us! We could use your skills. Ours is a noble cause; these halls were our home long ago. But, we were frozen in time, and you can imagine our surprise when we returned to find our mountain in its current condition instead of the thriving Dwarven stronghold we knew. I am hopeful we can still rescue some of clansmen, perhaps petrified or frozen in time in our own way. Regardless, we will avenge our clan for whatever evil befell them."

Leaving Phineas to negotiate with Wuknit, Ulfren pokes through the bodies of the drow. "Lessee if they gots anything interesting on 'em."

"Tomorrow I can prepare some magic to determine if these items are magical or cursed. Best not use them until then. However... "
Phineas looks at the lustrous silk armour, and then down at his tattered, frost-bitten hide armour, and wonders if that silk armour might smell better. It wasn't every day a druid came by a decent suit of non-metal armour.As for the other items, Phineas glances through the spellbook. He has enough wizard training from his days in the Academy, but long ago branched off that path. He'll try to see what he can make of the book next rest.

Ulfren remains quiet, mindful of the sound of potential company wandering the halls. He takes position next to the door on the side with the hinges, and waits for the next shift. Should someone spell him for a turn at watch, Ulfren whispers his report of activity in the halls, along with the suggestion to leave things be until everyone is rested and ready.

Ring Of Drow Blood
This strange silver ring appears tarnished in the light, but when viewed in the shadow, it gleams as if highly polished.
A ring of drow blood grants you the ability to use dancing lights, darkness, and faerie fire as spell-like abilities, each once per day. If you already have the ability to use these spells as spell-like abilities, you gain an additional daily use for each at your normal caster level.
Shadow Cloak
This black cloak writhes as if it were alive.
A shadow cloak grants a +1 bonus to AC.
If you are attacked, you can use the cloak three times per day to produce one or the other of the following effects. You can gain concealment for 1 round, or you can teleport to a space you can see clearly up to 10 feet in any direction.
Jan 25, 2019 12:29 am

"Ain't got a need for elf blood, except to hone my axe," grunts Ulfren, careful to keep his voice low. "If that cape is only good when someone's trying to hit you, probably let Ryyrik or yourself use it. I prob'ly won't remember when I'm in the middle of cleaving heads, to be honest."

"Hmm, I that's good point Gunnar! You are undoubtedly the best match for this ring." Phineas places it in Gunnar's palm.

Wuknit sits quietly at the side of the room after quickly checking through his effects, studying the group he finds himself with now with his strange unblinking stare
Jan 25, 2019 10:39 pm
Ulfren folds his muscled arms across his broad chest. "What's your story, then?" he asks of Wuknit. "What were you doing around here when you got nabbed by Tall-n-Skinny over there?"
Jan 25, 2019 10:55 pm
Wuknit turns his gaze to Ulfren, considering his response for a few moments "Wuknit was travelling through the tunnels under this place when he stumbled across the dark elves. Wuknit was....hasty, too hasty, trying to see what they were doing and they caught Wuknit" the small gnome seems embarrassed by this turn of events

The gnome shrugs "Wuknit was wandering down there for some time. He has wandered for long, long time and has come very far since....." he pauses for a second and appears a little uncomfortable before continuing "since Wuknit began his travels"
Jan 26, 2019 6:02 pm
"The same," Ulfren says in agreement, voice like gravel at rest. "I knows you said you'd help when you was talking to my boy Phin, but I figure I oughta least let you know the exit's back that way, to the surface. Seems only fair you should unnerstand that, 'cause even if the surface ain't your first choice, it also ain't where these drow at."
He looks at the elven corpses, tipping his head to indicate the subject of his speech. "We think they've overstayed their welcome, so we're politely asking them to leave. If, after knowing which way was out, you still wanna come along and help us be gracious hosts, you have my thanks."

Another burly dwarf, strides up along side Ulfren, dragging a corpse of a drow and places an arm on his kin's shoulder. Tossing the carcass down at his feet, he places a boot on it's head and begins to apply downward pressure until it bursts like a grape "Yeah; they haven't been the best of guests here, they left quite the mess and didn't clean up after themselves. Pretty disrespectful to litter a dwarf's hearth, don't you think little one?" Ryyrik looks down at what once was a head then to the small gnome, a grimace coating his face.

Jan 27, 2019 2:05 am
Ulfren tsks as he looks at his boots. "By the Forge Father's hairy ass, Ryyrik, I just cleaned those." He scuffs matter from the sides without taking his boots off, but he doesn't seem particularly bothered by the coating of brain and blood... considering the dwarf still carries the head of a drider on his belt.
Jan 27, 2019 2:36 am
A brief look of confusion mixed with shock crosses the stoned dwarf before letting out a chuckle and returning to his default. "I just may like you, little one." Ryyrik raises an eyebrow and looks down at Ulfren's boots "Oh, aye. I just thought you were looking a wee bit like a rookie; thought I'd help you get caught up." he jests back, pushing off Ulfren's shoulder with his arm in a joking manner.
Ryyrik looks back down on the gnome "Just don't give me a reason, and you won't end up looking like this here." With a draw back of the leg, the stout dwarf kicks the headless drow away from Ulfren's precious boots returning his gaze to the gnome before leaving towards the shut door.

Lunitar, I don't see Phineas on the initiative list, but I rolled a six back in this post. So that would put Phineas after Ulfren, so I'll go ahead and take my turn. Hope this is okay :)"Hey, I hear you Drow like spiders!"
Phineas leaps onto a wall and morphs into a giant spider in mid-air. The Feldspiderr skitters up the wall and onto the ceiling, where it promptly sprays webbing out of its abdominal spinnerets onto the female Drow.

Oh, well that settles it, Ryyrik just squished its head.

Ulfren nods absently as blood is splattered across the floor. His rage begins to dissipate as the adrenaline of combat subsides. "Feeling a bit peckish, aye," he says in response to Phineas. "Gunnar, see if these bodies got anything useful."
Now that he has another relatively-intact head, Ulfren comes to a conclusion and uses his blade to scalp the male drow. Once his gruesome trophy is collected, he proceeds to scalp the drider's head as well.

While everyone is getting ready to go, Phineas gets Ryyrik's attention.
"Ryyrik, we need to dust off your moonshine still. Think about this: Goodberry Wine! You could drink as much as you like, it would cure your hangover! I call it... Wait for it.... 'Homebrew!' "
"Ryyrik, we need to dust off your moonshine still. Think about this: Goodberry Wine! You could drink as much as you like, it would cure your hangover! I call it... Wait for it.... 'Homebrew!' "
Mar 1, 2019 3:51 am
Ulfren doesn't bother to wipe his hands of blood while he eats the goodberries. "Seems like that ought to be an ale," he says, disappointed that Phineas first referenced wine.
Mar 1, 2019 4:44 am
Ryyrik stops at the word 'moonshine' but his face sours at the word 'wine'. He nods over to Ulfren "I side with Blackthaw; wine is for the elves and humans to frail to lift a stein!" He mimes sipping from a little cup mockingly "Wuknit, boy. You know what us dwarves call 'wine'? Fruit water, 'cause it's damn near the same." He returns his attention back to Phineas "Homebrew yourself, your 'wine' isn't touching my stills. Pff, 'wine', I need a nice strong ale to wash that word out of my mouth."
Mar 1, 2019 6:45 am
"It's a good idea, lad," says Ulfren, voice returning to a calm gravel. "If you're thinking of serving that in dwarven halls, you'll want a proper ale; a dark beer that lends itself to whatever fruitberry you think to put in it. Serving to elves or humans, you'll do fine with your wine. Ain't nothing stopping you from doing both."
Mar 1, 2019 9:56 am
Wuknit shrugs "Wuknit not like bad-water before. Wuknit would try some though Dwarf-water though" he says as he takes a quick look over the two drow for anything useful.

Ryyrik chuckles "Wuknit sure has a refined taste." He kicks the corpse out of the way "If we're done talking of elven piss swill, I have some gifts for our houseguests in thanks for treating our birthplace with respect." He hoists his hammer up and looks at the small chucks of drow meat coating it's surface.
Mar 1, 2019 6:16 pm
Phineas ignores Ryyrik's rudeness while he gets ready to move.
"Thanks Ulfren. Sure, make it ale instead of wine. I'm not talking about serving it in halls though, Dwarven or otherwise. I'm talking about military applications! Alcoholic healing potions. What's un-Dwarven about that? Honestly, the fact that they haven't been invented yet is an obvious oversight in Dwarven engineering."
"Do not forget the wisdom of Oathkeer Dvvalik, master strategist!"
He switches to Olde Dvvwarfish to quote the honoured elder:
"Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mêntuk!"

Ulfren nods, popping Goodberries into his mouth like they were seeds. "Aye, be the first to make it, then. Just saying that most dwarves would prefer a healing ale over a healing wine."
Finished with his meal, he secures his scalps upon his harness and looks about the room, specifically for a way out.

Phineas scribbles some notes down in his journal.

Phineas exits the room and once everyone is good to go, moves to the next one.

Wuknit finds blood soaked leather armor and hide armor. 2 Javelins, and 2 daggers on the drow.
Mar 5, 2019 11:36 pm
Wuknit pulls the boots from the drow before peering into them and shaking them upside down. When nothing interesting drops out he casts them aside with a disgusted noise, his demeanour perks up a tad when he sees and pockets the drow's daggers before rushing after the others.

Phineas hears the villain's retort to his Flaming Sphere but does not have time to brace himself for the massive blast. The flames tear through Phineas's fur and mind, but he manages to hold onto the Flaming Sphere. The agony tears him out of bear form, and he returns to Phineas the dwarf, slightly singed and very pissed off.

I had them roll dc after it was pointed out.
Somehow, I missed the sphere ramming.... I'll have them take damage this turn as I didn't move them.
Thunderwave would, if it hit them, causing damage as the force goes through. A gun, I'd say no, unless the concussion from the gun hurt them, or was so big it would physically move them, say a cannon. It says use an action to shake, so it would have to be physical movement, with that understanding, I'd say any spell that used an action and moved them in any way would free them.

Ulfren silently sits up. Though his body does not ache, the muddled memories and strange sights cloud and disorient his mind. He spends a few moments trying to blink away the after-effects of the hypnotic spell.
"Blast," he croaks, finding his voice. Ulfren looks around, his gaze falling upon the familiar faces of his fellow dwarves. "How long was I out?"

Ulfren stands, pressing a hand against the wall for support. "Naw, you remember that elf. Said we'd be good as miners. Could be we're that much closer to seeing if our kin are still alive."
Though he realizes that the drow may not have been referring to dwarves and that other races might be included, Ulfren holds out hope that they'll get some answers.

Ryyrik turns to see the commotion behind him. His angry, determined grimace fades to a look of horror as the stone crawls up Phineas. His brows furrow, as lets out a low growl, his expression returning to anger again. He takes his sword by the blade and holds it in his off-hand then slams his right fist into his chest "You fought for our home, same as me an' Ulfren. I don't give a fuck what you are, it's an honor to call you my brother."
Ryyrik grabs his swords handle and releases with his off-hand then begins after the cart pusher.

Ulfren waits until Ryyrik and Gunnar have said their farewells. He approaches the statue and clasps the back of the neck, pressing his forehead and nose against Phineas's in a shared embrace. He speaks, his voice like the shifting of pebbles, "We breath the same air, and we share the same blood. Whether flesh or stone, you are my kin."
He breaks the embrace, pausing to tap the butt of his axe against Phineas's chest. "Don't go getting lost. We'll be back for ya."

Ulfren picks up and hefts the warhammer, replacing his shortsword as his primary armament. "Ah, this feels better in my hand," he says. "I'll carry the big one as well, just in case there's a door we need to open."
I think there are three active players? 400 gold each?

Referencing the area, Ulfren looks to the northern doors. "That there's obviously the mine," he says. "We can expect more guards, but we'll probably see if they've got any of our kin working the stone."
He looks at the water. "Don't know where this goes, but it's s'posed to take the stuff somewhere for processing. So we'd see who's running the joint, at the least."
Turning back to the party, Ulfren says, "I'm inclined to find our kin. Maybe we can free them from these pointy-eared bastards and let them get revenge for their enslavement. And if they ain't our kin, we free 'em anyways and their numbers will be more 'n welcome."

"Well I ain't no tyrant that says we gotta do what I say," says Ulfren. "I just figure for lack of knowing what's behind each door, we try for the one we have a better idea about."
Nov 6, 2019 5:56 pm
"Afore we check the mine, maybe see what's around that corner," says Ulfren, indicating the western hallway from where the party is. "Gunnar's idea of finding our stuff ain't a bad one, and maybe that direction's the smart way to check first."
OOC:

Ulfren presses an ear to the door, trying to listen for the sounds of creatures on the other side.

Ulfren's elation is tempered by the situation. "Psst!" he hisses, trying to attract their attention.

Ulfren makes a 'come here' gesture, implying silence until they can come into quiet conversation range.
Dec 9, 2019 2:18 am
"What's your name, son?" whispers Ulfren when the young dwarf approaches. Though he doesn't suspect much given the strange circumstances, he hopes that with a name he can piece together some kinship within the clans.
Dec 10, 2019 1:14 am
"Well Mr. Forger, today is a..." Ulfren begins, then pauses. "Wait, what? What kind of dwarf name is that?"
Dec 14, 2019 7:17 pm
"A great name! I am the second in my line to be a forger! Better than Latrine Cleaner!" He scowls disapprovingly at Ulfren, "What is your name?"
Dec 16, 2019 8:42 pm
"Ulfren, of the Sundershield Blackthaws," he says with an equally-disapproving frown. "In King Axelforge's name, what happened here?"
Dec 20, 2019 5:29 pm
Ulfren visibly deflates. "Listen, boy," he begins, drawing his palm across his face. Maybe he needs to approach this in a different way. "How old are you?"
Dec 20, 2019 5:40 pm
"I'll be 45 next month, I'm not as old as you, but I know my craft!"

"I guess not," admits Ulfren. "Are there other unworthy elders around that I could talk to? I'm also interested in where the worthy go."
Dec 29, 2019 4:11 pm
"I do not know where the unworthy go, you are the first I have met. The worthy go to our queen, the spider queen. Through the mine to the chosen's home. The stonework there is the best, so I have been told. I have seen their carvings of dwarves and they look almost real. The city is full of them, so I've heard."
Dec 29, 2019 5:43 pm
Ulfren glances down the hallways. "And which way is that? To the chosen's home?"
Dec 31, 2019 4:37 pm
Ulfren rubs his face. "Right. Sorry, I forgot. Anyway, you best get back to work, 3-1. Good luck on becoming Forger 2." He dismisses the boy with a nod and returns to his own companions.
"So, I think we have a problem," is all he says.

"Most-a these blokes don't know themselves from a pile of slag and I figure they ain't gonna be able to help us. We might have to curb our neighborly tendencies and actually try to capture one of these elves if we want to know what's going on."
Jan 2, 2020 10:44 pm
Wuknit nods "Wuknit thinks Ulfren has good plan. Wuknit will help." as he finishes talking he turns his head to study the other dwarves curiously "Wuknit think other dwarfs forgotten themselves"

Ulfren nods. "Yeah, that sounds about right. Let's head back that way and see if we can find an elf that can be convinced to help us."

Knowing that Gunnar still wants their precious boomstick, Ulfren considers checking each door where they were first locked up. He will start with the doors on the western side of the hall, from furthest away straight to the eastern side.
Jan 11, 2020 1:15 am
The map has been updated. I hope this is the room you meant, if not, it is now. There is a single drow in this room sleeping in the bed.

Gunnar watches he exchange through narrowed eyes, his mind still reeling from the shocking revelation. Their kin serving the filthy drow spider queen!

Wuknit lurks in the nearby darkness, keeping his crossbow at the ready if needed

Ulfren looks around the room for the drow's equipment, just in case this interrogation goes more awry than it already has. He tries to position himself between and continues, "Yeah, see, about that. We uh... forgot who that was. So we figure you was the next best."
Jan 22, 2020 11:14 pm
"Do you want me to beat you? Is that it?" He rolls back over glaring at you.
There is a footlocker at the bottom of the bed, but you see no weapons out in view.

He has a dagger in his bed clothes, but that is it. In the footlocker you find his mail armor, a longsword, a bottle of elven wine and a letter home stating how much he hates it here and just wants to go back home.
Jan 27, 2020 4:41 pm
"Maybe we can play to his homesickness," says Ulfren. "What should we ask him, aside from where our stuff is?"
Feb 1, 2020 5:50 pm
Gunnar merely shrugs. He sheaths the dagger in his boot, ignores the armor and the sword. He uncorks the wine bottle and takes a swig before passing it to Ulfren.

Pick even or odd and I'll roll on whether you slap his nose into his brain or not... ;)

The smack to the face pushes the drow's nose further into his skull, penetrating the brain and with a gurgle of blood he stops breathing.

Ulfren hms. "Maybe slap him a little harder?" he asks, sincerely believing that should work.
Feb 16, 2020 3:46 pm
Ulfren looks at the elf once more. "I guess Wuknit was right. I hope he was out of warranty," he says, turning to the blank-dead-eyed gnome. "When we find another, maybe we let you do the talking."

Ulfren steps back into the hallway and tries the next door, opposite the drow's room and next to the holding area.

Wuknit simply shrugs "Wuknit will do what he can if we find more dark elves." he says as he follows after Ulfren
Feb 20, 2020 4:43 pm
Before he opens the door, Ulfren turns to Wuknit. "You seen what that dwarf was like, right?" he asks, quietly. "What do you know of anything that makes someone... well, weak like that? That was too strange. It was almost like he liked working for the drow!"
Feb 21, 2020 1:03 pm
Wuknit pauses at the question and seems to get an uncomfortable look on his face "Wuknit thinks the dark-elves are good at pain. Very good. Wuknit thinks maybe the dwarf reached the point where the pain got too much, where the fight got too much to carry on"
Feb 21, 2020 8:28 pm
Ulfren considers that for a moment. When he speaks, his voice carries a bit of a waver. "Can't imagine what it'd take to knock the fight out of a dwarf."

Ulfren doesn't see anyone. Opening the next door reveals a room full of crates and chests.

The last room in this wing appears to be the bedroom of someone important. No one is in the room, but it has a luxurious bed, several chests and a wardrobe. On the table sits fine silver silverware and china plates, they are clean and no food is currently on the table.

"This here looks like the bedroom of one-a them leader types," says Ulfren. "Reckon they have to come back here to lay their pretty heads down. Maybe we rest up and wait for them here?"

He points to the tied-up drow. "Anyway, we bagged us another pretty boy, and this one don't got his face caved in... much. See what he's got on his person, as he was so helpful in taking off his clothes."

You push him inside the room and he trips into a statue of a dwarf, she tips over and breaks in half. The room is full of statues, too lifelike to be statues. The drow cowers crawling away, "Don't kill me, you pushed me into it, it wasn't my fault."

Ulfren watches the transformation, then turns back to the drow. "So... you missed me, and you threw the wrong potion?"
He stalks towards the elf. "All that hair's getting in your eyes, so I'll just trim those bangs."

One of the statues was that of a bear standing on two legs, as if it were going to slam down onto something in front of it. As the figure thaws out of the stone, it finishes its slam, the dwarf and gnome feeling some reverberations in the ground as her front paws connect with the stone floor.
With a snarled maw, she looks left, then right, and as her snarled face transforms into a look of confusion (if a bear can muster that kind of look), she then relaxes her body. She sees a drow on the floor unconscious, as well as a fellow dwarf and another who seems like a friend. She puts her head down towards the dwarf and places her head into his free hand gently.

As the stone starts to melt away, a short and thin dwarf with a short triangular braided beard, gasps as he quickly comes to. After a brief moment he rolls to his feet drawing both of his weapons in a crouch looking at the rest of the room. "Who are ya, and what did ya do to me? By Moradin's beard you better start talkin soon and no more funny business if ya know what's good for ya!" Albiofer's knees are bent, slightly rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet ready to dive one way or the other at the slightest sense of incoming danger. As he's staring at you, a rather large spider crawls from his side under his dark cloak across his body to his shoulder and just sits there watching.

With a deep gasp for breath, Darion fills his lungs with air again. He takes a few stumbling steps but quickly regaining his balance. With his battleaxe high, and is warhammer low, he scans the area for the drow menace.
Yu! Wha did ye do to me?! Darion quickly joins Ulfren to confront, or beat up, the drow.

Ulfren pauses as the large bear comes into view. The smell of her fur triggers an old memory, and a thousand images glaze over his eyes. "By Moradin's sweaty hammer," he whispers, "I recognize those teeth. Frigga, is that you? It's me, Ulfren Blackthaw, from Sundershield!"

As the fog of the waking up so abruptly starts to fade, she recognizes the dwarf in front of her, especially when she hears her name!
She tries to smile with her bear mouth, and she stands on her two back legs and waves hi.

Hannibal unleashes a string of barely-articulate swears as he swings wildly overhead with his axe. A few times almost landing a hit on whoever is closest before tiring and lowering his weapon in gasps. Looking around at the distinct lack of Drow and then over to Darion he asks, "Aye, we got them then?"

After the bear greets her old friend Ulfren, she then patters slowly over to her friends Darion, Hannibal, and Albiofer, and waves at them with her arms, urging them to follow her.
She’s still in bear form, but she is trying to prompt some conversation through paw gestures and bear faces.

Ulfren pulls the drow's head up by the hair. "He seems kinda tight-lipped, though he wasn't very helpful even before his mouth could move."
Nov 22, 2020 4:35 am
Rubbing his stiff neck and shoulder, Hannibal addresses the bear in the room. "Oi stop that Frigga you know we can't understand what yer sayin' when ya look like that."
Finally getting his wits about him, Hannibal realizes that a) he is not in the same place as the last thing he remembers, b) only a few of his companions are stirring the rest are statues, and c) there is are strangers in his midst. At least strangers to him. Still a dwarf is always a friend to Hannibal, unless he owes them money. Gnomes are hit-or-miss, but it doesn't seem to be bothering Darion, Frigga, and Albiofer so he doesn't assume he's a threat.
He stands idle, waiting in case Darion needs "help" with their captive.

"If the drow needs some encouragement ta talk, I'd be more than willing to help. I'm not so sure his head can take much more encouragement by the looks of it, but I'm sure I can start someplace a little lower and work my way up." With a crazed grin Albiofer starts rubbing the two blades together looking at the drow. "So drow, how many toes do ya really need? I think it'll take at least 2 to get ya to start talking so do ya want one from each foot or just start on the left and work my way right?"

"Near as much as what we gathered," Ulfren begins, including Wuknit in his statement of we, "the drow took over and all our kin are slaves in the mines. A lot of the young seem weak in the head, believing that the drow queen is their ruler, while the elders all disappear somewhere. Wuknit and I have been trying to figure out how to get around, looking for a means to free these dwarves and make 'em remember that they're dwarves.

Listening to the words of the drow and what’s left of the potion, Albiofer tries to think through his knowledge of the arcane for anything that may be useful to understanding what happened or what’s needed to return the others.

Albiofer can tell that the liquid inside is laced with dark magic, very dark magic. Darion isn't that sure it was anything special.
The drow looks confused, like too many knocks on the old noggin. "If any of you want your meals tonight, you had better get back to work. Remember what an honor it would be to be chosen? You don't have to be an elder to get chosen, hard work and you can get there early!"

Frigga bites the drow’s shoulder, enough to help him find out how dire his situation is.

Frigga looks around, hoping one of the others will continue the interrogation, or instruct her to put this drow out of his misery.
Nov 24, 2020 5:33 pm
"Anything you ask, you gotta know that his answers come from a place where the dwarves lost and the drow won," adds Ulfren.
He tests the wall the drow was pushing against, to see if there's a secret panel or something.

Albiofer takes the empty potion bottle and walks over to the drow. "If we can't trust him, then he's no use to us. Why don't we just find a nice full bottle of the potion and turn him to stone. If we need more questions, we turn him back. No need to kill him, and as long as nobody accidently knocks him over he'll be fine." Albiofer bends down next to the drow and points to the broken dwarf statue.
Nov 24, 2020 10:41 pm
As soon as the door opens, Albiofer steps over the drow stowing the potion bottle and pulling out his tools. "Why don't you let me see if there's any other surprises down this hallway." Turning back quickly and looking between the bear and the drow, " You should probably just eat the dark elf, you look hungry."

"My memory's a bit fuzzy," Hannibal begins, rubbing his head, "But don't we need one of the half-spiders if'n we want the drow in stone? I admit the irony of putting them in the same position we were is a pretty thought, but I don't know if it can be done."
At Ulfren's words he shudders. "Proud and noble dwarves serving a bunch of deep dwelling knife ears? What a horrible fate. I can't believe I lived to see the day." Anger at the prospect of his kin under their boot-heel he will readily agree with Albiofer. "Frigga I'm done with it too, eat it if you want."
At the discovery of the passageway he whistles, "Blimey. Did you know that was there?"

Ulfren waits while the revealed passage is inspected. "He said he's got folk above him that give him orders. I think if we ain't getting anything useful from him anymore, we knock him out and leave him tied up in a closet. Then we go look for someone else that has a better sense of cooperation."
Nov 25, 2020 7:18 pm
"If you want to waste good rope on it then go ahead." Hannibal says waving off the Drow. "You two know whats going on better than us." He says to Ulfren and Wuknit. "Do you know where could we get the info we need?"

Ulfren looks for some parchment or paper and something to write with, so he can draw a rudimentary map of the explored areas of the mines.
Nov 27, 2020 6:28 pm
While Ulfren is looking around the area, Albiofer pulls the large spider off of his chest and drops him down into the passageway. "Go take a look, let me know if you see anything bigger than you are." As the spider scurries down the passageway, Albiofer turns to the others. "The spiders dead useful to check out what's ahead or act as eyes to watch our back. Best part is I can see what's ahead." After about 10 seconds, Albiofer holds onto the side of the door and goes blind as he see's the world through the eyes of the spider.

Seeing the new dwarves all have calmed down somewhat Wuknit emerges from the shadows again and pads quietly into the room. Seeing one of the dwarves drop a spider and start talking to it he moves over and watches the small creature curiously.
Nov 29, 2020 11:30 pm
The old hidden hallway has some cobwebs in it, but is empty and ends at another hidden door.
Nov 30, 2020 12:41 am
After checking out the door, the spider climbs up onto the ceiling, perched above the door watching. Albiofer's eyes come back to normal as he finishes seeing through the spider's eyes. "Hallway looks empty but ends in a closed door. Are we done with the drow and ready to move on or is there more to do in here? If anybody comes through the door, I'll know."
Dec 4, 2020 1:22 am
"No point in wondering where we been, so let's head forward," says Ulfren. He heads for the door at the end of the hallway.

Frigga pads behind him, leaving the limp body of the treacherous drow on the floor.

The secret door is just like the other one, but has a handle to pull towards you on this side.

Albiofer stares at his spider for a moment and then everybody watches it scurry along behind them to the other door, perching where it can watch the doorway and the drow. "Let me check the door first..." Albiofer scans the door prodding it with his thin lengths of wire and small hooked tools searching for any traps or locks.

The room appears to be a more luxurious room than the drow had, possibly a superior officer. The room has normal living quarters furniture and supplies, a bed, chairs, a few wardrobes, a table and a bookshelf. The room is empty now though, and by the coldness of the room and the dust, it looks like it has been for a little while now.

Ulfren looks at the furniture, then the door across the way. "Let's move on. There are hallways we hadn't checked, plus the mines with our weird-minded kin," he says, before looking at Albiofer. "Can you check the door?"
Dec 9, 2020 3:05 am
"Of course." Albiofer takes out his tools and once again gingerly runs his fingers around the door, then slowly manipulates the lock to check for locks and a trap.

I think the best way is to sneak where we can to find out what we can, and bust in when we can't do either. The last time we tried just busting into this drow-filled place... well, let's just say I came here with 4 other dwarves before we found Wuknit."
Dec 9, 2020 8:58 pm
Albiofer smiles and rubs his hands. "Well sneakin is my specialty, just give me a minute." Albiofer puts out a telepathic call for his spider to come into the room, picking him up he moves him gingerly next to the door. "Everybody stand back, I'll get a look from the other side." Moving to the back of the room, Albiofer focuses on the door and the spider as you see his eyes start to glaze over.

Still he grip his weapon tightly, ready to help his kin. Whilst they wait he'll whisper to Wuknit, "How'd you get roped into this?"

Dec 17, 2020 4:02 pm
Ulfren waits patiently. "If you see any dwarves, know that they're not themselves. One of them we talked to actually liked working for the drow. And there ain't no elders, as it seems anyone over a certain age gets to see this queen of the drow and they don't come back. We let him get back to it, and figured we'd get better answers from the elves."
Dec 17, 2020 6:09 pm
Albiofer relays what he sees to Ulfren. "So what do we do those dwarves? If their heads so full of sandstone that they're happy for the drow to rule em, they're going to be to much of a problem to deal with right now." Albiofer sends his spider to search the other side and to come back when if he sees any drow. "To that matter, what are we doing right now?"

"I say we leave 'em alone," Ulfren grunts. "If we ask 'em anything, it's where we can find the elves in charge."
Dec 17, 2020 11:52 pm
It pains Hannibal to see his kinsman so brain-washed, but he holds it in. There is a mission at hand. "Ulfren, you don't think that they'd alert the elves to us if we pass them?"
Dec 18, 2020 1:23 am
Albiofer chuckles and rubs his hands together, "My head must be full of sand at the moment, if they are to turn us in, I can make myself look like one of them dark elves. T'won't last more'n an hour or so, and it won't hold up to scrutiny but if we need to get past them youn dwarves, it might do the trick."
Dec 18, 2020 2:25 am
Ulfren shrugs. "The last fellow we spoke to just wondered what we were doing roaming around, but honestly didn't seem to care. He might have figured we got a job from one of the elves. I think we can just walk right past."
Dec 18, 2020 11:52 pm
The area looks very familiar to Ulfren as he was here, but came from the other direction. The dwarves wave enthusiastically to Ulfren.
Dec 19, 2020 5:25 pm
Ulfren waves back. "We spoke to them before," he says, continuing across to the other side of the island and into the hallway.
Dec 22, 2020 3:08 am
"What exactly is our plan overall?" Hannibal watches the other dwarves with a perplexed gaze. "Is there a head to the snake we could cut off?" He asks optimistically.
Dec 22, 2020 3:13 am
"It might be this queen the elves have been talking about," says Ulfren. "But as far as a plan, we're sorta fumbling around in the dark. We have no idea what the drow have done to this place in the hundreds or thousands of years we've been away."
He pauses. "Oh yeah," he says, letting the weight of his words sink in, "we've been gone a long time."

I don't like taking on something I don't understand. Once we get the lay of the land, we can come back with allies and free these dwarves. I don't think they mind the captivity and based on how they're acting, I doubt we can trust them with weapons."
Dec 22, 2020 8:18 pm
The logic of Albiofer's suggestion passes straight through Hannibal. He is still stuck on Ulfren's words. "Hundreds er thousands of years?" He repeats.
Hannibal steadies himself on a wall and clutches his chest. "My friends, my family..." He swallows hard, trying to recollect himself.

Oh thank you for the update GM I appreciate itAfter a minute or two he says aloud "Don't worry," whipping sweat from his brow and straitening himself up, "I won't hold us back" His eyes are misty, but he marches on pushing his grief to the side for now.
Dec 24, 2020 3:34 am
Ulfren nods. He understands that the others will need time to come to grips with what has transpired. He continues north into the hallway and the doors immediately there.
Dec 24, 2020 7:27 pm
Frigga joins Ulfren in the lead and whispers, "How have you been, young one? It’s been a while since you’ve visited my wilderness home."
Dec 24, 2020 8:15 pm
"Aye," nods Ulfren. "Ever since King Axelforge gave word that we were to help the humans, we had to step up production of arms and armor in preparation for war. Even the frontier towns had quotas to meet, which kept us busy."
Dec 25, 2020 7:10 pm
You open the doors to a dining hall. At the tables are two drow guards and in the corner are 4 dwarves eating scraps the guards throw to them.
Dec 30, 2020 5:29 pm
Ulfren continues forward, walking up to the two guards without hesitation. He strides with purpose, as though he's supposed to be there.
Dec 31, 2020 5:06 am
Hannibal is behind him, although markedly less confident. He is still wrestling with his realization somewhat and it is making him pay less attention.

Albiofer plays the timid dwarf and walks along with the group in the back, eyes partly downcast.
Dec 31, 2020 5:12 pm
The old woman also strides forward, showing "exposed weakness" of the group, hoping that those fucking drow don’t know that we mean them harm.
Dec 31, 2020 6:17 pm
"It's not your meal time, not enough scraps for all of you. Back to work!" One of the drow grumbles.
Dec 31, 2020 7:08 pm
"Which one of you knows how to get to the Queen, or whoever's in charge?" Ulfren asks.
Jan 2, 2021 9:09 pm
"That would be of no concern of yours worm. Not back to the rock crushing with the lot of you!"

Ulfren leaves the shrine and leads the way east. He retraces the group's path through the secret passage, past the smelting area, and turning east into the large hallway. He detours south across the third bridge to head for the two doors at the end.
Mar 17, 2021 5:49 pm
The first door you enter looks like a plush visitors quarters. It looks set up and not used for quite sometime.
Mar 17, 2021 7:31 pm
"They must not have many guests," says Ulfren, moving to check the door to the south of the room.
Mar 18, 2021 6:11 pm
This is a private bathroom with a tub and hot running water!
OOC:
I will reveal this part later at next room.Mar 18, 2021 6:28 pm
Ulfren ignores the bath and heads to the door opposite the guest quarters, inwardly assuming to find more of the same. "That's gotta be a drow thing," he mumbles. "Ain't ever expected a dwarf to waste good fire on plain water."

"Finding a nat'rally-occuring hot spring is one thing," says Ulfren. "Wasting fuel just to heat up a tub is another."
Mar 19, 2021 4:59 pm
The water is heated from somewhere deep in the rock and bubbles up through pipes.
The next room is much of the same.

This room is another small dining and rest area. It is currently unoccupied. To the East (It's not easy to see in the picture) is a double set of doors.
Apr 27, 2021 7:55 pm
Ulfren silently points at the double doors to the east. His hand rests upon the head of his warhammer, while he keeps his shield up.

Frigga will hold her finger up, as she contorts her fingers in strange ways. She mutters in whispered tones the words, "Vulpinus dentinus, venguen achillus."She then ushers the wolves to stand by the door, and Frigga will open the door and then she will say, "Search and destroy the drow," urging them to sniff out and pack-attack any drow in the room.

She is casting Conjure Animals to summon 8 wolves to do our bidding as we continue to explore the region.[ +- ] 3rd lvl: Conjure Animals (Conjuration)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 60ft.
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You summon fey spirits that take the form of beasts and appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. Choose one of the following options for what appears:
One beast of challenge rating 2 or lower
Two beasts of challenge rating 1 or lower
Four beasts of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
Eight beasts of challenge rating 1/4 or lower
Each beast is also considered fey, and it disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The summoned creatures are friendly to you and your companions. Roll initiative for the summoned creatures as a group, which has its own turns. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them (no action required by you). If you don't issue any commands to them, they defend themselves from hostile creatures, but otherwise take no actions.
The GM has the creatures' statistics. Sample creatures can be found below.

The doors are heavy, dwarven craftsmanship. They once would have opened easily, but age and no upkeep have taken their toll. With quite some effort they do push open, revealing the outside world.
Apr 28, 2021 2:59 pm
Frigga stands outside for the first time in ages. She takes her left boot off and feels the dirt and stones on her bare foot, and smiles big.
She holds her hand out and casts Druidcraft to get a sense of the weather, and she observes the sky this day/night.

"As much as I would love to see the rest of the kingdom," says Ulfren, "the dwarves here need our help. There's gotta be a way to break the drow hold over the lot of 'em. Maybe the answer lies deeper in the mines, where those rail tracks go."
Apr 29, 2021 5:43 pm
"Agreed. Let's head that way."
Frigga is going to verbally command the wolves to scout ahead stealthily, about 60 feet ahead of Ulfren and I. If they are to find someone, they are to come back to let us know.

"Nope," Ulfren says as he marches. "Drow turned every fighting dwarf into a garden decoration, then turned every baby dwarf into a mindless slave. I ain't calling that a win."
He pauses as if to say something, but continues, "There's supposed to be this Queen that resides here. Any dwarf that gets too old, or maybe too ornery, gets sent to see her. 'A great honor,' they say, and then they're never seen again.
"We want to find answers, I figure we gotta get to her, or her generals. So far we've only found the slaves and the supervisors."

How can this be. I'm not on my battle field, that I must say is strange. But how is you know such things?!? Obviously Orsik doesn't care for the taste of what your meaning him to swallow.
Apr 30, 2021 11:18 pm
Ulfren explains, "I was away on a mission from our great King Throrrel Axelforge, off to the island of Lord Rain-Hall (or however you say his name) to battle some orcs. I and a bunch of others under the command of Dirk Clawhammer got frozen, literally, by some weird magic from that human lord, and we had no idea how long.
"Well, we went on to see this Lord Rain-Hall and found out we didn't have anything to do 'cause all the orcs got frozen, too. So we came back to make our report and see if anybody had a lick of an idea of what's going on, when we find out that in our long absence a bunch of drow came in and took over, using some kind of liquid to turn folk into stone.
"We found some young dwarves that were working as slaves in this mine, and after speaking with them we sorta pieced together that they been addlepated with whatever drow nonsense was put into their heads. I mean, they liked working for the drow!
"So now we're looking to bash the head off whatever spider-queen is running the joint, ask some questions, and see if we can't put things back the way they were."
He looks at Frigga. "Did I forget anything?"

Orsik taken in what was said, I am Captain Orsik Battlehammer and perhaps the last of my army by looks. How long has it been? He is sure that he will not like that answer any better than Ulfren's last one.
Apr 30, 2021 11:29 pm
Ulfren shakes his head. "I ain't got an exact number of years, but if you want a rough idea, it's this: the dwarves here have never known what it's like to be dwarves. To them, this is how it always was."
He lets that sink in.

Let get moving, the only things in their are things worth killing I hope, I'm in the mood to win some fights!

"Careful where you swing your blade, lad," says Ulfren, leading the way to the mines. "More of our kin work down there, than what we've seen up here. Young and unknowing as they are, they're still kin."
May 10, 2021 10:02 pm
Lead on and let get busy. There is work to be done. We are Dwarves and we don't dilly dally around.

"Iron is iron. Stone is stone. A dwarf is a dwarf. If they've forgotten, we must remind them. Lead on."

You head in and push on the great doors to the mine. The dwarven craftsmanship still holds true and they swing silently and effortlessly.

Ulfren sniffs the air out of habit, then follows the tracks until the fork. "Which way do you think is best?" he asks everyone, glancing both north and west.

The group knows these mines, they have changed some, but the structure is still there. Going down an offshoot, they come do a hatch that is locked. They vaguely remember this being a back way into the city.

"We might find more answers in the city," says Ulfren. "But if these mines are any clue, I reckon we'd find more elves than dwarves, too. Do we chance it?"

"Aye, he would have killed his share and more. He was a good lad in the end."
An expression of wistful nostalgia passes momentarily over Arnvik's face before his granite scowl slams down again. "I agree with Battlehammer. A dwarf's blow must be true and direct. We should strike at the heart of this infestation."

You all remember the rough layout of the old mine, and this is what you recall it looked like. You descend down the ladder into the southwest lower corner. It is quiet, but looks clear so far.

Knurd motions for the wolves to follow him and as he turns around to sneak ahead, He hit's a low hanging stalactite. Stopping for a second, he rubs his head and gives the okay sign to the others just as it cracks and smashes to the floor.
May 25, 2021 5:27 am
"Hmph. Dwarves weren't meant for sneakin', anyhow. But at least you can break a rock with your face, that'll be handy in a fight."

"Dwarves are made for whatever dwarves wanna do," Ulfren reminds Arnvik. "I know some of our kin that live with trees, cast out because we thought they ain't dwarves. But I stood shoulder to shoulder with them against many a foe, and they are as much our kith and kin as anyone."
He looks ahead to Knurd and says, "So if you wanna smash rocks with your face, you be the best damn rock-eater there is."

Somehow, Arnvik manages to scowl even more deeply when Ulfren talks of dwarves living in trees. "Ain't no kin of mine. We were right to cast 'em out. But we mine the seam that's in front of us, not the ones that might be. Let's crack on."
May 26, 2021 3:28 pm
A little further down the cave and the floor is slick and covered in a black slime like substance.
May 26, 2021 4:47 pm
Ulfren chuckles. "Trust me, if I could have them all back by my side, I'd gladly take them in. Perhaps it's because we all lived on the frontier; we had to be unconventional to survive." He gives a nod to Frigga.
As they approach the strange floor, he kneels down to inspect the substance, holding his torch above for more light.
