(Up until now, I've been referring to Damsto Pullwitches as a spearmaster, but he is actually a pikemaster. Not a huge difference, and I'll probably go back and edit some posts to avoid future confusion.)
Beyond the stairs, inside the massive rock, the goblins found a large open area, though small enough to be lit by their torches. Ledge, ramps, and stairs connected various exits and entrances to the smoothed, engraved floor 20 feet below them. Statues of what appeared to be giant eagles were placed here and there, interspersed between the long tables, lined with chairs. In the far corner, barely within the illumination of their torches, the floor was covered with small piles of bones.
Drawn by instinct, or a distinct dwarven scent, or some other hint of their quarry's location, the goblins creep to the north. They soon find themselves at a five-way junction - the founder's square. By now, Damsto has picked up the trail of one of the last dwarves. He rushes through the mezzanine of the red guildhall, making for the upper stairwell.
Onol Plaitorbs, stonecrafter lay asleep in bed, a few stories up, blissfully unaware of the dangers that he, along with mayor Tun Dyefight and the other merchants, had unleashed upon Weatherwires.
The pikemaster entered the room, and moved silently to the dwarf's bed. Three ghosts are mute witnesses to the stonecrafter's murder.
Mercifully, he is likely never aware of the goblin's presence. He never awakens.
Down below, Damsto met Kutsmob Controlledseduced, the mace lord and third captain of the siege. Kutsmob had undoubtedly been following the same trail which led the pikemaster to the stonecrafter, but Damsto quickly informs the mace lord of the killing. Having little idea where the final dwarves were, they decide to split forces - Damsto would head south, and Kutsmob up, to find any other denizens.
Just inside the large interior chamber, Damsto found another dwarf: Goden Mawknife, bone carver.
Goden turned and ran out of the south exit, and Damsto burst into a spring after him. They crossed a short causeway that led to a massive rock edifice, surrounded by spires of rock that rose from the darkness below and into the void above.
The much more agile pikemaster easily caught up to Goden. A deep stab with his silver pike to the dwarf's left lower leg brought his quarry to a stop, and another quick stab to the throat confirmed the kill.
Goden collapsed against the lowest steps of the barracks, his throat gushing noisily out over the stairs. With a third stab to the skull, the pikemaster pierced the dwarf's brain. The gurgling noises ceased, and the grotto was silent.
