Deep Gap, Twylyt Intro, ICGT
" Do you remember your lessons on Kurtulmak, the patron god of kobolds? He is the sworn enemy of Garl Glittergold. Just over 150 years ago, Moradin and Grumush brokered a deal to stop a bloody war between gnomes and kobold in the Black Forest. It was agreed that Kurtulmak's influence would be confined to the underworld. Glittergold's influence would remain in the forest and just below ground, in their hovels. The cavern system known as the Underway, which was once used for commerce, is now supposed to be sealed up. There are two unsubstantiated rumors going about. One is that kobold activity along the Black River and in the forest has increased over the past few weeks. These rumors have some credibility. The second rumor, is that the Underway in Glitterhovel has been breached. This rumor comes from a very unreliable source, and is likely, untrue. Regardless the bishop has requested a presence in Glitterhovel. She has requested that you be that presence. Your job will be to investigate these rumors, as well as serve the Glittergold clergy as an ambassador. If anything comes of these rumors, Moradin will come to Glittergold's defense. Our alliance must be trusted and enjoyed by the Gnomes. It's important for Dwarven security.
I have arranged for a small group of gnome sherpas to escort you. It is a long journey.
It will take about ten days and will be at times grueling and dangerous. The sherpas are experts at safe conveyence between Deep Gap and Glitterhovel. You will be in good hands.
You will meet one Kinder Cobble at his apothecary in the Glitterhovel bazaar. He is a high ranking cleric of Glittergold. He will arrange quarters for you and aid you in your investgation. He can also have messages delivered here. Likewise I can reach you through Mr. Cobble. I will expect a weekly report."
Hogart stops. He looks at his daughter. He softens.
"You make me very proud my daughter. I will worry about you every day. Yet, I have faith that you are ready for this level of responsibility. I know you will be a credit to our family and to our faith."
