After recieving numerous instances of correspondence from a mysterious dwarf who claimed to be some sort of scholar. Although, he reeked of elves to me. After replying in kind, I sought out solitude. My travels had me in the north east, at Laketown, and so I decided to venture into the Great mountain nearby. Many a journey into its depths had I made before, and many secrets had I uncovered. In my favourite place of repose, however, I came face to face with the one who had claimed the falsehood of my leige.. and we spoke more. north As you walk north, you leave the room in a colourless twilight. The warm glow of your crystal illuminates the next room.

Dorf puts a small green vial (empty) into a dwarven mining pack. l You are standing in a rectangular room with a beautiful, dome-shaped ceiling. All around you are mighty pillars, aligned with the square walls, that reach to the ceiling. In the center of the room you see a dais, on which an anvil-shaped altar rests. You notice that some of the pillars form elaborately sculpted arches that lead to other rooms. The only obvious exits are east, southwest, northeast, south, down, north, northwest, southeast and west. A swarm of moths Dorf Grimhammer the dwarf Thunderer (Rumbling) <=-HP: 230 EP: 230-=> Pale blue smoke rises craftily from Dorf's pipe. A tall, imposing figure stands before you, clad in a jet black cowled cloak. The sun gleams occasionally off a suit of bright mail that clinks as he walks, but the most frightening thing about this warrior is the steel mask that he wears, hiding his features. Long raven hair waves across it, lending him an aura of mystery as well as fear in battle, his hard eyes glinting from the eyeholes of the shining monstrosity that lies on his face. Sword drawn, he grips it in both hands, pointing it at the sky, and touches the hilt to his chest, a silent challenge to the worthy... or the foolish. The mask bears several notches, and is inlaid with blue gems where it has been grazed. You look like a very influential person indeed. You have a tattoo of a panther on your shoulder. Gold: 70 Encumbrance: lightly encumbered You are carrying the following on your person: *A mixed potion (in hands). *A vial of vigour (in hands). *A small vial labeled 'Aule'. *A small vial labeled 'Manwe'. *A small vial labeled 'Morgoth'. *A pair of spiked gauntlets (worn) (wielded). *A bloodstained cloak (worn). *A crystal (worn). *A crystal (glowing) (worn). *A pair of mail pants (worn). *A dwarven deathmask (worn). *A finely-shaped pearl carapace (worn). *A crystalline shield (worn). *A stunning gold ring (worn). *A set of moonstone runes. *A large, empty dragonclaw pipe. *The Guildmaster's Handbook. *Blood of an Eldar swirls in a pentacle (worn). *A commemorative token from the Event-2006. *The 8th Two Towers EVENT! badge. *The 7th Two Towers EVENT! badge. *Tevildo's tribute, a shining blue harp. *A metal necklace (worn). *An ornate and huge, albeit empty briar pipe. *A leather archer's quiver [0 arrows] (worn). *A spellbook. Dorf continues muttering in Khuzdul, scanning the pages before him. A swarm of moths is irritatingly close to you. You emote: Dalkar wanders in, his strides slow and measured. Cloaked as usual, he makes immediately for the altar but stops short. Dorf mutters in Khuzdul: Praise be ... the Father ... Pale blue smoke rises craftily from Dorf's pipe. You emote: Dalkar tilts his head and tips his mask upwards. "Who are you, Khazad?" Dorf spins around. "You! What business do you have here, Dalkar Ecthelon?" You emote: Dalkar glares. "You know my name?" Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: You have the pleasure of addressing Dorf Grimhammer. Pale blue smoke rises craftily from Dorf's pipe. Dorf bows to you low amidst a pleasant tinkling of Dwarf-wrought silver. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: I'm aware of many things, least not being the face you pride yourself in hiding. Dorf looks at A swarm of moths. You emote: Dalkar smiles one of those slow, evil grins. "Ah, Dorf Grimhammer.. finally we meet." Dorf tilts his head. You say in Westron: Your pen is mighty indeed, I will say. Pale blue smoke rises craftily from Dorf's pipe. You emote: Dalkar snorts and looks around. "Perhaps I have misjudged you though, since you are in this place.. is it for the tomes or the gold that you have come hither?" Dorf tugs his beard and looks at Dalkar appraisingly. "My thanks for the compliment. Have you given thought to my words?" Dorf growls. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: I've come here to pay respects to my ancestors. As a Dwarf, I have a right to enter the tombs of my forefathers. Dorf glares at you accusingly. "What right have you?" Dorf swats at the moths in vented irritation. You emote: Dalkar walks to the altar, casually flipping the page of a tome. "Respects to your ancestors, aye. Perhaps I have come for the same.. then again, perhaps I seek the knowledge hidden in these caverns." l You are standing in a rectangular room with a beautiful, dome-shaped ceiling. All around you are mighty pillars, aligned with the square walls, that reach to the ceiling. In the center of the room you see a dais, on which an anvil-shaped altar rests. You notice that some of the pillars form elaborately sculpted arches that lead to other rooms. The only obvious exits are east, southwest, northeast, south, down, north, northwest, southeast and west. A swarm of moths Dorf Grimhammer the dwarf Thunderer (Rumbling) Dorf snorts. "If psalms to the Forger you seek, you've found them. You'll find little else here but an unwelcoming spirit, Son of Numenor." You emote: Dalkar grins slightly, nodding. "Aye, there is never a great welcome for one who does not belong." he shrugs, walking to the side of the chapel. "But this place is a refuge. Too few know the secret of the gate." You say in Westron: I did not think I would be disturbed. speak khuzdul You set your default language to khuzdul. Dorf chuckles grimly. "Too few? Too many, it seems." Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: It does seem we share on thing in common, then. You say in Khuzdul: Perhaps more, for I know more secrets of your kin than you would guess. Dorf smiles and says: Bah! You say in Khuzdul: For instance, your script and your tongue, which you covet so much. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: Defile it not, human. Worse before you have, it appears, to sell it to the highest bidder. Dorf scowls darkly. "Dark times, indeed." speak sindarin You set your default language to sindarin. You emote: Dalkar chuckles, smiling grimly. "Threaten not as you did on parchment, Dorf. I am not a material being, I do not come here to plunder." You emote: Dalkar smirks, and reaches into his cloak. Dorf whips his steel waraxe from his axe belt with red fire in his eyes! Dorf wields a mighty steel waraxe. You emote: Dalkar pulls out a little vial, dropping it at your feet. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: Watch your hands, Ecthelon. Dorf glances down at the vial. You say in Sindarin: I have more knowledge and power than you can hope to ever overcome. drop aule Ok. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: And this is? Dorf looks at a small vial labeled 'Aule'. You say in Sindarin: It is the power of your maker. In a form usable to men and dwarf alike. You say in Sindarin: And I despise it, I do not need his skill with stone. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: I've no need to overcome anything, Ecthelon. I am in the house of my fathers in the mountain of my fathers. You do not belong here. Dorf looks at you. You say in Sindarin: You know too little of me, Dorf. I am a scholar, get an explorer as well. You spoke of Durin's bane.. I have seen proof that it is vanquished. You say in Sindarin: I have walked the peaks where he and Mithrandir fought. Dorf arcs a shaggy eyebrow. You say in Sindarin: You can NOT tell me where I belong, Dwarf! Dorf snorts in amusement. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: I beg to differ. You may believe you have claim to the hearts and minds of Men, or even the "golden shores" you covet so much. But no claim here, in the Mountain. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: I advise you leave. If you truly have a scholarly interest, I can arrange for an escort at a later time. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: You've disturbed ME in my meditations, and I wish to return to them. Leave here. You say in Sindarin: The mountain.. aye, I do not wish to claim it from the ones that inhabit it. Yet. I am content for now to divine what I will from the secrets buried here, but I come when I want, and leave when I want. Dorf gets a crystal rod from a long black cowled cloak. You say in Sindarin: Perhaps it is you who should leave, Dwarf. You laugh. You say in Sindarin: You will not? Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: Your arrogance is even more apparent in person, it seems. Dorf spits on the ground derisively. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: Your last warning.

Although enshrouded and cowled in a black cloak, this Dwarf is obviously armed to the teeth and physically prepared for anything short of a lack of ale. The glint of bronze and mithril flashes where slashes have been cut by the blades of now-dead opponents; light reflects off the polished flat of the waraxe at his belt and the spikes bedecking his short sabre's worn basket-hilt. You only hope that it isn't your blood that this Dwarf will be scrubbing dutifully from his blades and armour. Behind one slit in his imperious bronze deathmask, what appears to be a polished and finely-cut ruby set in black hide glitters coldly. His skin has been transformed into bark.

Although enshrouded and cowled in a black cloak, this Dwarf is obviously armed to the teeth and physically prepared for anything short of a lack of ale. The glint of bronze and mithril flashes where slashes have been cut by the blades of now-dead opponents; light reflects off the polished flat of the waraxe at his belt and the spikes bedecking his short sabre's worn basket-hilt. You only hope that it isn't your blood that this Dwarf will be scrubbing dutifully from his blades and armour. Behind one slit in his imperious bronze deathmask, what appears to be a polished and finely-cut ruby set in black hide glitters coldly. An air of dreaded majesty radiates around Dorf. This person has the air of a scholar. Dorf has the look of a seasoned adventurer. You see a tattoo of two axes on his neck. Dorf has been solemnly blessed by Elves.

Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: I will await, and inscribe the events concerning the fall of your cult and the victory of Mahal and his brethren against another foolish mortal uprising. You say in Sindarin: Then your inscriptions are false. You say in Sindarin: For that is not the doom of Arda. Dorf says with a brogue in Sindarin: We shall see. You say in Sindarin: Indeed we shall. A swarm of moths flies around like stealthy thieves. Dorf gathers himself coldly, and turns with a swirl of his cloak to leave. Dorf leaves south. l You are standing in a rectangular room with a beautiful, dome-shaped ceiling. All around you are mighty pillars, aligned with the square walls, that reach to the ceiling.
