676 MR - Spring

With a foothold secured in the old mining tunnels, the heroes establish a hidden base of operations. From this stronghold, Ruby unveils her plan to reclaim the fallen dwarven city. Her first objective is clear: rescue two vital figures of the dwarven community—Thrain Stonebelly, the renowned Mastersmith, and Sister Baela, priestess of the Temple of Moradin.

Under cover of darkness and secrecy, the party infiltrates the occupied city. They move carefully through shadowed corridors and forgotten passages, gathering intelligence, sowing seeds of dissent, and fanning the flames of unrest among the oppressed dwarves.

Their first target is Thrain. He is being held in the labor camps near the great forges, where the air burns with heat and despair. After forging contact with the weary workers, the heroes strike.

The confrontation is fierce. The overseers, brutal orogs, are led by Rakh-gul—a towering brute wielding a searing, red-hot greatsword. Steel clashes, flames roar, and blood spills across the forge floor.

But the heroes prevail. Rakh-gul falls, his blade extinguished, and Thrain is freed from his chains. One piece of Ruby’s plan falls into place—the long road to liberation has begun.
