Dustin heads to the mug looking for whatever surface food they might have not caring if he ate like a human just then.

Bildaweer turns to Cemos and says Thanks. I think we could all use a stiff drink. I'll buy the first round.

Heartboiler walks with the others, skipping almost, on their way to the Mug. Master Sparklefingers, do you think there's a chance anyone is up for an arm wrestling match? I am in the mood for fun! Any of you perhaps up for it? You, little girl? She looks at Eldreth with a teasing smile

Bildaweer looks briefly at his arms which are nothing more than old, wrinkly skin on bone. He then flexes his biceps at Heart and puts on a pose. I wouldn't be much competition I'm afraid. Laughter bellows from underneath his long, white beard.

You all make your way through the tunnel and emerge in a large cavern. Soon, a deep gnome in religious regalia pops out of a nearby doorway.
Oh! Welcome to the Ruby in the Rough surfacers! Are you just passing through?

Hmmm oh we were looking for the Foaming Mug, but tell us about this Ruby in the Rough.
Aug 29, 2017 5:51 pm
OH! True outsiders, amazing. Just, wow. Well, if the Mug is where you're headed, either the northwest or southwest passage will get you closer to your destination. The Ruby here is an old temple that is dedicated to Segojan Earthcaller. My name is Glyphic Shroomlight. I keep the old city's honored dead safe under the temple. The ghosts have always been a bit of an issue in Blingdenstone, but never our - ahem - residents. I guess I'll let you to your quest for drink, however!
[ +- ] Religion 15+ or Bildaweer in general
Segojan Earthcaller is a svirfneblin god of deep earth and nature.
Aug 29, 2017 6:10 pm
Oh! I assume you're a priest, yes? And, what has Segojan Earthcaller asked you to do these days aside from looking after the dead? Any services you require or have you heard any rumors?
Aug 29, 2017 6:16 pm
With Blingdenstone, only the foolish and the superstitious swear there are no rumors. And Segojan has asked nothing more than to keep the dead, well, dead. You know of the ghosts, of course. But there is one I like to keep close to the old vestments here. It's said that if you spend enough times in the catacombs below the temple, you'll find the ghoset of Burrow Warden Jadger. He was around during the drow invasions and is still in the crypt. That is known. What isn't well known is that some of the ghost problems can be laid to rest by those stout enough of heart to contend with the challenge of laying them to rest.

"We might be able to help, check into this but would want as much help on knowing about ghosts that you could provide us."
Aug 30, 2017 9:28 pm
Heartboilers jaw drops as she listens to the priest. Had I known there was so much fun to be had in Blingdenstone I would've come here way sooner. Can we do this too? Can we, please? I really want cubes and ghosts! She is bouncing around again, the grin on her face so big it hurts her cheeks a bit.
Aug 31, 2017 2:56 am
Cemos perks up whwn he hear this. As a wiorrior priest of Dumathoin I too am charged with keeping the dead
He looks at his groupit seems that we would be interested in helping you out but we have business we must attend to first. Then perhaps we can return and help cleanse your catacombs.
And I don't want to offend him in any way.

OOC:
I realize this is probably a very different religion And I don't want to offend him in any way.
Aug 31, 2017 4:22 pm
Oh! If you'd be so kind as to return and help, I could certainly use the help. There's so much to do here, so much. Anything you can do will earn my eternal thanks, brother priest.
Sep 1, 2017 4:19 pm
"Just let us get a good meal in, and we will be back. So Cemos since your a holy dwarve, what kind of things will help us against trouble with the restless dead ?"
Sep 3, 2017 1:34 pm
other then putting to rest any souls that have returned to the mortal realm, there are several rituals that could cleanse any corruption or unholy spiritual tether that is causing the dead to rise. Cemos looks to the priest.
we will be on our way and return as soon as we can. Cemos motions to the group to head out on there way to the mug

As the group walks to the Mug Heartboiler's bouncing step changes into a slightly irritated stomping walk. She has difficulty walking the, for her, slow tempo and she let's out a heavy sigh every time she gets ahead. Her smile is gone from her face too, replaced by a frown. Let's hurry up and get this thing over with so we can get back to business, no unnecessary small talk, ok? I can't stand being around joyful beings in to high numbers at once, actually I prefer no actively joyful beings around at all. Perhaps best if I wait close to the door, so i don't accidentally start a barfight on purpose. She says, sounding more like a growl, as she keeps her eyes straight forward.
Sep 5, 2017 12:51 pm
Dustin looked amazed at Heartboilers change of demeanor and admission.
"Don't your people ever celebrate or have joyful occasions ?

As you proceed down the next tunnel, following the instructions of the merchant to keep a stone wall to your right, you find yourselves in a decidedly residential area. A few deep gnomes are milling about, lacking the armor and weapons of the guard as well as the hawkish glares of the merchants. To your right, from a small cavern, an eerie multi-tonal song floats out. Interspersed with the haunting music is the undeniable laughter of children.
