| Thorn the Dwarf | Dwarf level 1 | Ashen hair, beard, and eyes. Left his own clan due to financial trouble. |
Warmshade 3rd, Waterday
“Could we finish our investigation of the lizard caves? I am curious to know what is going on there.”
Ignaeus was the only one to answers Thorn's call to adventure. The dwarf did not rest still, and he employed two retainers, Soalain and Glamina.
Next he hired a rowboat and crew to take them downstream to the cave.
“We will wait until sundown. If pirates or barbarians appear off we go!”
The party entered the caves few hours after sunrise.
They exited just an hour before sundown.
Ten torches burnt through.
They carefully navigated natural tunnels, exploring every nook and cranny. Always tense, always ready for trouble.
Trouble did find them, without surprise, in another lizards' nest. A giant centipede nested there, but it was summarily dispatched by Thorn's might blows. Alas, the eggs were sucked dry and were empty.
A truly valuable cache hid behind a chilly body of water, past wet tunnel. There a skeleton lay, dressed in pristine chainmail. A small, round metal shield was by its side. A curved scimitar to other side. All were in pristine condition, as if unbothered by all the moisture in the small cave.
Satisfied with their thorough exploration, the party recovered these three items and returned to Hara. There they sought identification service from the Wizards' Guild.
Warmshade 8th, Earthday
Whilst waiting for the identification to be complete, Thorn and Ignaeus spent time going through all the notes and intelligence collected by other adventurers whose Company they had joined.
There was much going on in the region; and the Company had its fingers in many pies. But where to focus? Where to strike next? Who to ally with? What is true and what is not? Much was discussed, and much more has to be discussed.
Invitation came on the noon of Warmshade 8th.
“This is the Bender. It is a magical shield that allows you to deflect two mundane arrows shot at you, once a day.” Tangay of Seven Stars presented the shield.
“And this chainshirt I decided to name Zealot's Mail. Besides additional protection it also nullifies any Druidic Magic cast on the person wearing the armour.” he continued.
“Finally, the Volmorin's Blade! If the wielder points the blade at someone and yells “Freeze” the blade unleashes Hold Person upon them. Volmorin has been etched in the pommel, hence the name.”
The duo was most satisfied with their haul.
But the question remains: what now?
