Akroma's log 21th obsidian 1251
If knew that if i wanted to make my plan succed, I needed the most adventurous dwarves out there.
But where to find them ?
Thanks to Armok I knew just the exact right person to help me.
A woman called Zatam.
Rumors say she has a connection the the great Lord Ironblood, the greatest hero of dwarvenkind. Not even the fact that she has a thing for elves could sully her reputation, or lover the value of her marvelous stonecrafts.
By telling her it was the perfect opportunity to seek glory of her own, instead of living on Ironsblood's fame, she agreed immediatly, with an energy that seeks its own.
She led me deep into the slums of the mountainhomes, into a small tavern, filthy and known for it#s fierce brawls.
There she introduced me to the a group of various dwarves, that had long been waiting for an opportunity to leave the mountainhomes behind.
One introduced himself as Detritus, a dwarf of old age, with a beard that reached to his toes. He claimed that the rum he was drinking was made by him.
After trying it, I can say that he will be of good use for us.
Another one, appearantly a carpenter (and not a careful one, judged by the splinters in his hands) introduced himself as Imp.
His name made me cringe with the image of a dwarf with the same name, and a moloch of metal crushing his skull.
Nevertheless he is welcome to join me.
Suddenly I heared a window chatter, as one dwarf was throwen by another.
Zatam went to stop the brawlers, and introduced them as
Kira:
and a dawrf with the strange name Reign on your Parade...his parents must be peculiar !
Kira sneered at me, if I was supposed to be their leader. before I could answer Zatam threw a look at him that could ignite the rum on the tables. kira immediatly went silent. I don't think I wan't to know what has been going on between those two.
After meeting those 4, I turned to Zatam: "Didn't you say you know 5 dwarves who would like to come with me ?"
Zatam seemed reluctant to answer me, as the last of the 5 was rather...peculiar.
She led me to a backroom, where a Dwarf named Stoner
was purring water on some strangely coloured mushrooms. She had colourful beads woven into her beard, and her clothing was also of very colorful.
After explaining my plans to her, all she said was:"Dude...this is gonna be sweet"
I doubt it will.
But we will see...
