Ironforge

It takes most of a day to climb the side of the mountain as the air starts to get thin they are greeted by a massive stone gate, the snow on the floor is stained brown from carts and just general wear, a small flat landing off to the right can be seen there are traders keeping warm, ahead of them a large stone gate with an anvil logo, there are a lot of guards wearing plate armor with fur and leather lining to keep the cold out. Twice a day the gate opens, one late afternoon and one early morning.

Traders Plateau

Several fires have been lit where you can see people of Alliance races sit around huddled wrapped in blankets to stay warm. There are several large tanks like looking machines, obviously Gnome made gold and silver with an eagle head serving as the body of the machine, 6 wheels, and a large cannon attached to the back.

Dareth - A male Worgien, silver fur and light blue eyes, in white leathers.

A loud horn sound bellows, the massive stone gate starts to lift, the ice that was starting to set over it cracks and falls down, snow starts to slide down in a mini avalanche whipping up a mini snow storm once the white out settles the party can see a long tall corridor, standing at the end a statue of a dwarf made out of stone holding an Axe and Hammer. The crowd starts grabbing their stuff and shifts towards the corridor. Entering the corridor it’s still cold. The bitter wind isn’t as present by it’s still cold. The ground is covered in slush as carts and people have dragged the snow inside.

Once the party has made it to the end of the queue a Dwarf with a set of glasses on wearing fine clothes steps forward with 3 guards.

“Hello, welcome to Ironforge, home for all of Dwarvenkind. What be yer business in our fine city?”
^{The cart will be inspected.}

“Please note carrying weapons on yer persons is perfectly fine, but if you are to use them we will come down with the full force of Dwarven law.”

Entering into the city there is a sudden shift in temperature as it becomes extremely warm. The snow that remains on the party from being outside melts almost instantly and they can feel them drying off. They turn one last corridor out into a massive open space, the floor is made out of fine stone tiles, the inside of the city is massive large griffins fly around the city delivering goods and functioning as a taxi service.

Quests

The Ball

Inside the Library the party meets an eccentric Gnome named Toben. He is a Noble who made his fortune selling enchantments. He is tall for a gnome shaved head, with a brown pencil mustache. He’s heard of the party's adventures and is a massive fan.

“Please come to my ball, there will be food, drink music and girls… It’s a polymorph party! You can be whoever you want to be.”

After accepting the Party invite the party starts in 3 days time.

That Night the Inn is really busy with customers, one of the party members will hear a conversation between two dwarfs across the room...

“We take out the Enchanter at the party, his scrolls are strong enough to stop the mass mind control, when you are done meet us at the cathedral. This with the red label is the poison, this with the brown label is the polymorph potion, you will appear as a Bugbear, Don’t get the potions muddled up… May the eye of the Mother watch down upon you”

If they follow them out the streets are packed a perception check of 20 will reveal they have headed in separate directions.


When the party arrives at his house in the Hall of Explorers the party has already started. The music is blaring and they can see a mage is casting polymorph on everyone who enters the building. Inside is a massive fountain that goes 2 stories up, a golden statue of Toben is at the top, pouring out is red liquid, people are lying in the fountain others are walking up with glasses and filling them and drinking from them.

^{Roll d100 and refer to the Monster manual for the page that decides there polymorph}

There are 3 Bugbears at the party, one has whitefur with red eyes, one has brown fur with black eyes and one has black fur with green eyes.

White Fur - Go’bian Secretly the murderer, thinks that Toben is a bit of a fool but means no harm. He thinks he is useful for political gain, within the Nobles.
Brown Fur - Shangale A fellow enchanter, who doesn’t like Toben however is here to save face.
Black Fur - Raih An old apprentice of Toben, however was let go due to.
The party have 2 attempts before Toben is effected from the poison, if they fail they will see the a white furred bugbear leaving in a hurry, they can give tale and watch him enter in through a secret door down into old Ironforge, or they can kill him a retrieve a note detailing where the Cathedral is. They then can enter by going through the Throne room.

Old Ironforge

Heading down deeper into the mountain the tunnel slowly gives way to a large open cavern white crystals line the ceiling, large braziers light the area inside a few guards are posted around a library with massive books on pedestals, a few dwarfs are reading into the books (they are researching azeroth’s world soul) this is the very place that Magni Bronzebeard stood for years frozen in crystal. 120ft down a massive pool of lava sits the bubbles popping releasing gas into the air. There are 100’s of old paths and routes around the old city, but they are pointed out to one that hasn’t been used in a long time.

Heading down the corridor it starts to get cold and damp and dark. After a little while they find themselves walking out into an area lit up by a crystal ceiling a small pool sits off to the left. Inside are two Basilisks

^{Page 24}

The Cathedral

After making their way back into the deep dark cave they feel the floor turn to steps as they eventually come out into a clearing where standing almost untouched in the rubble of a cathedral there are 4 black robed people walking around the cathedral almost like lookouts doing rounds. Once they have made their way inside they will see a standard looking cathedral, a few pews lined up above the stained glass windows is a carving a lizard looking creature with horns and 10 legs is drawn to look like it is wrapped into a circle. Upon a raised platform sits an angel in a prey position written on a plaque at its base the party read.

It has a golden head.
It has a golden tail.
It has no body.
Answer:
A gold coin.

After the party gets riddled, the angel opens her arms as the centre of the floor starts to slowly dip into the ground making a staircase. Heading down there are lit torches on the wall they find themselves in a room with a small bridge running through the centre a 10ft drop below either side there are skeletal remains of different races, the next room is the same only bigger the drop is deeper this time the bones look draconic. Once they have crossed over into the next room they hear chanting coming from all around the room, 8 cultists standing in a circle all saying “The Mother will be fed, the Mother will be fed…” a 9th cultist a draenei female says “Once Toben has been taken out of the picture we can finish casting our mass mind control, then finding food for Mother will be as easy as ordering them to walk into her camber”.

^{Page 345
After the fight they find a book detailing the story of the Followers of the Mother}

The Cult of The Mother Book

Back thousands of years Thralza feasted proto dragons she hunted allowing her to grow massively in size and starting her endless hunger, after the dragons were turned into higher beings with the birth of the Dragon Aspects she found it harder and harder to fill her endless hunger, her followers known only as the Followers of The Mother had been stealing black dragon eggs and feeding her dragons they had grown, however the fall of Deathwing and the Black DragonFlight being left ruin it became harder and harder to feed her, promising more and more power in return for food the cult were starting to run out of options. They fed her, traveling traders and their horses, they stole rams, they kidnapped people from the city, in a last desperate bid to feed The Mother, the cult decided a mass mind control on the city would make it easier to feed the endless hunger of Thralza.

Numbers Puzzle

The next room they can hear sounds in draconic “Wer nugri di vi dask” (the hunger of a Mother grows). The room is small, a table sits in the center. There are 10 squares in the stone table three numbers have already been placed.

8 _ _ _ 1 _ _ _ 2 0

Answer 549763 (Alphabetical)
