Episode Thirty-one - Betrayal at the Fated Crossing

General Summary

After an evening meal and mead, the Heroes of Áthulus heard a knock at the door of the Stonehammer home. Kelaryn answered the door and a group of Khuzdûl poured in. After havoc befell the pantry, the home was graced with a song the Khuzdûl had heard from a Sindarin. The Sindarin had heard the song in their homeland Arda, and brought it to this particular group of Khuzan, The Fellowship of the Red who were themselves on a quest. As Arvan wrote the song down in his book of songs, the song struck familiar to Arion whom had heard of both the tale of the Hobbit and Durin's Folk as well as the song. After a line of questioning, and learning that his home was accessible from the sea east of Hârn, those within the home learned what the Fellowship sought. Wanting nothing more then to return to their home, called Kiráz, the Fellowship stopped off in Áthulus to look for adventurers and rest for awhile. Declaen informed the Heroes of Áthulus that Kiráz was the ruined home of the western Khuzdûl, sundered by Lothrim the Foulspawner. So, given their resting state, the Red offered to allow two of their rank to join the quest of the Heroes of Áthulus, the Khuzan whom joined were Grumwish and Laatais. As the party discussed recent events, the gem they had found, and what actions to take next, the warm fire bred further discussion as Arvan strummed away on his Sitar. Duryo, the Azeryani Sorcerer, discussed Grumwish's belief in Sarajin as well as Grumwish's magic abilities.   wieldedimbued           stone-facedopportunitydecapitated
