Tales from the Black Quartz: Ironspike Mine Report

General Summary

Harvester 29, 2321 AR

Connal jumps up when you return to the Black Quartz . The other companions there roll their eyes as if to say, not again as he launches into a story.   "You guys missed it. I mean, I know you were investigating the outpost and the whole blonde mastermind thing, but we had our own incredibly awesome adventure as well.   "See, Tostig, or Mr. Moonstone, or whatever dwarves go by, asked us to look into something for him. He was supposed t' hear something from Ironspike Mine, and after a few days, got worried. Since you guys were gone and all, he asked us to look into it.   "The mines a day travel southwest, and there's only a path, so it too us a while, we really need to think about getting some horses or something. When we got close to the mines, it was all dark and stuff, so Brannon snuck up and took a sneaky look around. He found a ton of blood in the mine office, and drag marks, like someone dragged the dead bodies away.   " Gymno like took off into the mines, you'd think he wore armor, and you think he'd a learned from the giant lizards in the goblin lair. Anyhow, he almost fell into a cloth-covered pit. We didn't see it at all, and the pit had wooden spikes sticking out over the bottom. With that, we went full worry mode. Brannon snuck out ahead, testing everything, while I took second. Abe and Gymno behind me. Abebane looks at his askance at hearing "Abe".   "Well Brannon must be really good at hiding, cause while he was ahead a bit, two kobolds leap out from covered side alcoves and try to stick me good. Gymno blasted one of the little creeps, while I sliced the other one clean in two.   "Anyhow, we get deep into the mine, and kill like dozens of the kobolds when we find three of the Ironspikes still alive, though barely. When we start to free them, the main group of kobolds attack. I fling my daggers to the Ironspikes, but I got really worried for a while. If the dwarves didn't help out, we wouldn't have made it. Abebane was great, fiery blasting one second, and keeping us alive the next.   "So finally the kobolds are dead all around us. We trace them back to a side cave and find piles of treasure. Course the dwarves took back the stuff that was theirs. And we think we're all done and stuff, but then these friggin flying kobolds, with wings and everything, swoop down on us throwin spells. I'm useless because I can't reach them, so I shuck my sword and grab my crossbow while Gymno and Abebane blast away.   "We won the day and got the Ironspikes up to safety and back to town. We even got a reward from Moonstone."   "It was epic."
