Assaulted By Thugs

by Groht Arautok (Bighill)

Having just recovered from our fight with the necromancer the day before, I attempted to take a look at the map we found in the Master's vault. I recognized that the letters were Elven, but it was Coil who stepped in to translate. We discovered that the Elven word for "fire" was written over the Cairgon Ranges.

I knew that the mines in Cairgon had been shutting down for a while now, but I don't recall ever hearing a reason why. So we decided to visit the local mining guild to see if we could gain some information.

Upon arriving at the mining guild we were greeted by an exceptionally rude Goliath who appeared to be the guild master. I expressed my distaste at the poor state of the guild, especially for a town that is known as a mining village. The Goliath spat some nonsense about monsters in the mines. You've got pickaxes haven't you?

The Goliath said the monsters his workers saw were some "indescribable horrors" from the Underdark. Nonsense. There are hosts of beasts and other creatures to be found in the Underdark, all perfectly describable!

The other party members managed to convince this Goliath to give us permission to visit the mines. We had to take our permission slip to Yesla to get it officiated.

On our way to Yesla's office we were approached by a band of thugs. One of the thugs tried to grab Nox, but I chucked a stone at the bastard.

I took a few hits from the bastards, but I was able to ward them off with my Rune Sanctuary. The rest of my party was less fortunate, but Coil and Miirioth proved themselves to be fine warriors.

Miirioth even chucked one of the thugs down a well! HA! Impressed me well enough to dismiss my grudge against him for stealing my kill.

We tried to interrogate the bastards, but they filled our ears with naught but drivel. Something about a stinky Gnome in a different province. I took their gear.

We attempted to sell them off to the mining guild to help alleviate their personnel crisis, but the rude Goliath wasn't interested. Bah.

After a short rest, we continued on to Yesla. She told us our party needed a name to finish officiating the document. I guess our ragtag group of students is officially an adventuring party now.
