Session 1

It all started when these four strangers to Waterdeep teamed up with a noble of society to strike out against a plot with the Dragon Cult. Lyra was warned by Glenin that her uncle is up to something in Shard Mountain. There’s legends of a machinations that could flood the valleys and lower plains and forests around Waterdeep. Including Lyra’s village. The group travels to the Serpent and Wolf Inn near the Mt. Hear that a band of orcs are raiding local farms and villages. The proceed to Shard Mt. and find a group of orcs inside, holding farmers hostage. After their release by the party the McDunnin’s promise they will return the favor should the party ever come to their farm about 5 miles West of the Mt. They discovered the interior tunnels of the mountain are an ancient fallen dwarven stronghold and mythril mine from the time when Elves ruled the lands. They fight many orcs, almost being thrown from a rope bridge. When they decide to rest.

Session 2

Continuing into the mine the group finds a room with some treasure hoarded away by the Orcs and send Azraphel, Bryseis’s familiar mouse, to scan down a hallway where he spots an ancient Dwarven statue. Hehears Orc voices near the statue and they decide to save it for another day. They come upon an Orc witch who makes brutal attacks with her hideous nails and her pet Sturgises, giant blood-sucking insects. They slay her and Skorg burns her. He can feel the eye of Gruumsh upon him for his actions against Orc kind, for better or worse. They disband a fire trap and begin the descent into the next level, the Glitterhame. Where they find more of those disgusting Stugises.
