Re: Myth Drannor - New Beginnings
Earlier, entering Glen
Not wanting to cause a scene with dwarves, who are infamously unforgiving of necromancy, Talindra and Kora stay outside Glen. They head off the road, keeping out of sight, and the rest of you promise to bring them in out of the cold as quickly as possible.
It was a wise decision, because as you descend into the ravine that hides the true depth of the village of Glen, the fading sunlight is replaced by the light of many cunningly-wrought lanterns, which hang from posts along the edge of the road and from the buildings along the bottom. It makes twilight a well-lit, cheery affair, and the steep road safe to travel, but Talindra would stand out like an ogre at a halfling family reunion.
After discussing possible approaches along the way back, the group had decided that the best approach would be to get the Forgepriest on your side. The high priest of Moradin doesn’t rule Glen, but he does wield considerable moral influence. If he could be reconciled to Talindra, he could likely sway the rest of the village as well.
Unfortunately, when you knock on the building that leads down to the smithy and temple of Moradin, you’re told in no uncertain terms by a young acolyte that the Forgepriest may not be disturbed. Krackor draws him aside, and after a bit of muttering, the acolyte agrees that the Forgepriest often likes to take his evenfeast at the Dark Door, and that if the group went there he would meet them after his duties were complete.
And true enough, after the initial round of drinks have been cleared away and the Dark Door’s staff have brought out a rich evenfeast for you, the door opens and an older dwarf steps inside. His brown beard is shot through with gray, and he has the thickest arms of anyone you’ve ever met. In his clothes he looks just like any other smith you’ve seen, but there’s a silver plated war hammer thrust through his belt, and a smaller warhammer treated with blueshine hangs from around his neck on a golden chain.
He looks around, spots Krackor, and comes straight over. ”I am High Forgesmith Lynar Boldenbar. Ye were looking for me?”
