Meeting up with Rothaar and the dwarven refugees the group prepares to flee into the under caverns. Paldemar’s apprentices will have rallied the guards and are likely to pursue them, if for no other reason than to recover his Staff. One problem still confronts them, the refugees won’t travel with Rothaar. He is to remain here, punishment for having lead Paldemar to the Bronze Warders years ago.
Morn is having none of this and promptly bullies the lot of them into accepting him. This will be a feature of this session. They flee into the tunnels led by the dwarves who know the way. The journey is not without incident. Cave ins and underground rivers block their way but they push on. Assamber leads them through a field of giant mushrooms with some unpleasant venomous spiders and then past the site of some ancient threat sealed away by the dwarves long ago. Their travels disturb the restless spirit and the group makes a run for it. As they make haste across a narrow bridge leading to the dwarven hold Morn takes his stand against the undead horror. Rebuking it with the power of the Unfettered God he smites the bridge with the Hammer of the Earth Titan barring its progress. As the group run for the doors they can see closing in from many side tunnels is a mass of howling shrieking beast men and their hyena allies.
The doors of the dwarfhold creak open at their approach and two burly guards step out. As the howling mass comes closer they demand to know who they are and why they have brought their “grey” kin with them. They refuse to allow the grey dwarves entry and the Bonecracker beastmen draw ever closer. Losing his temper Morn has another moment and bullies his way inside almost having to drag the dwarves with him. As the great doors slam shut the Bonecrackers throws themselves against them in a futile effort.
They are safe for now.
