To The Nine Worlds (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

"That's all I can ask," Thorgr says.

Going to him she puts her arms around him and hugs him, "I love you."

"I love you too," Thorgr says, returning the hug.

She nods, but just stands there in his embrace for a little bit. She was sure that these dwarves were very nice folk and they welcomed them into their home...but a part of her just couldn't help missing Corrie.

"That might be a good idea. Depends on if she'd rather be a lone or have the company, we should definitely ask her though." Sig replies .

Jerrica nods as the enter the second room.

Sig turns as Dagmarr heads up the stairs. "Hey Dagmarr, I know that.....well, we know you miss her, and if you would feel better having company, especially in a new place and all, even if it's just to know someone who know what you're going through is nearby.... If you want to room with us you're more than welcome."

Dagmarr is silent for a moment, seemingly at a loss for what to say. "Thanks you. I appreciate it." she eventually says in a tone just above a whisper. "I might not be the best company."

Jerrica sits on the bed. "We better get something to eat and start our investigations."

Sighing she says, "I guess we need to go downstairs and find out what's going on here huh? I'm not feeling very hungry but I could use something to drink."

Thorgr nods, putting a hand on Frostine's shoulder.

Sweating a bit from their walk, Frostine changes into a light blue summer dress with short sleeves before turning and going out the door with Thorgr to head back downstairs. However, before they leave the room she uses some of her magic to get rid of the light sheen of sweat and leaves herself fresh and smelling of wildflowers.

Thorgr huffs. "Since there are dwarves here, maybe I can get this armor adjusted."

She nods, "Yeah honey, that might be a good idea...but since we're not in any immediate danger, why don't you just take it off and let yourself relax for a little bit huh?" She says outside the door before they get downstairs.

"You're probably right," Thorgr says, undoing the straps.

She smiles and turns to him, "Here love, let me help you with those." She says as they step back inside to undo his armor. She helps him with the straps and helps ease it over and off of him, "There....that has to be better right?"

Thorgr takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. "Yeah."

Taking his hand she stretches up on her tiptoes and gives his cheek a light kiss, "Good, now let's get you something to eat."

"You too, even if it's a little fruit," Thorgr says, putting his arm around Frostine and walking downstairs with her.

She sighs, "Okay...I'll try."

"Good idea love." Sig says putting down her gear. "Don't worry about it Dagmarr, just know that we're here for you."

Nodding, Dagmarr stows her gear by the other bed in the room and prepares to head down with Jerrica and Sig

Getting back downstairs with Thorgr they go to find the dwarves that had taken them in, "I don't feel very hungry, but I know the others and Thorgr probably are. Could we please have a little something to eat and drink while you explain to us what's been going on and what you need help with once we're all down here?"

Bruldora thinks for a moment. "Perhaps we should head to the Bronze Skillet for a bite, Galdur?"

The male dwarf nods, stroking his salt and pepper beard. "Aye, we can show you part of the problem on the way."

Jerrica leads the way down the stairs and joins Thorgr and Frostine.

She nods and looks from Thorgr to the others, "Okay, that sounds good to me. It'll help to be able to see at least part of what we'll need to be dealing with."

"A starting place is good to know," Thorgr says.

"By all means please, lead on." Sig says with a smile.

Galdur and Bruldora walk side by side toward a small tavern. Galdur points up at a cliff about the building. You see many dark shapes skittering about. "Those would be the mines. A number of rust monsters appeared not long ago and are keeping us from entering."

He then opens the door for the group. Thankfully, the accommodations aren't smaller than you're used to.

She nods as they step inside, "Okay, we'll get started on getting rid of them as soon as possible." She says as she looks around.

"Does there seem to be anything directing or controlling them?" Dagmarr asks, staring off toward the cliff.

Frostine gets quiet as they go inside and just looks around while staying close to Thorgr.

Galdur shakes his head. "Not that we know of. We can't get very far to find out."

Jerrica takes a seat at a table large enough for their group.

Frostine sits next to Thorgr as she listens to them talk about the problem. After a few moments she says, "Well...we'll do our best to get you back in your mines as soon as possible."

Bruldora sits down after Galdur pulls out a chair for her. "That's all we can ask for at the moment. There are more problems, but that's the pressing one."

A server comes by. "What would you like to drink? We have ale and water."

"I'll have some water please."

"I'll take an ale."

Thorgr thinks for a moment. "Water, please."

"Ale would be fine." Sig says sitting beside Jerrica.

"Ale, thanks" Dagmarr says quietly.

Galdur and Bruldora ask for water and the server leaves to retrieve the drinks. "There is a passage outside of town that will lead up to the cliffs."

She looks at the others questioningly, "Well...we could go check it out later after we eat?" She looks at Thorgr before looking back at their hosts, "There's just this little matter about his armor. It doesn't fit him very well and we were wondering...is there any way that it could be worked on while we're here so that it isn't quite so uncomfortable on him...and in the meantime maybe there would be somewhere that we could buy some armor for him that's already made? That way we could get started on this problem right away for you."

Galdur nods. "We have several blacksmiths that could use the work, but we don't have much to offer for sale with mines being in the state they are in right now."

She thinks for a moment, "Do you know how long it would take them to fix it? It just needs to fit him better....but...if the problem you're having is with rust monsters...I'm not sure his metal armor would be the best thing anyways...." She looks at him, "What do you think love?"

"We just have to be careful," Thorgr says. "Leaving myself a little more open hasn't been helping so far."

"The rust monsters don't leave the mine," Bruldora says. "If you need a few days to be prepared, then take your time. We'd rather you be successful than having our mines back quicker."

"Okay, then we'll take the time to be ready," Jerrica says.

The server returns with the drinks. The ale smells quite stout. "What would you like to eat?"

Galdur looks at the group. "We have food you are normally accustomed to."

Bruldora raises an eyebrow. "Humans aren't that foreign, Galdur."

Galdur shrugs. "I am not one to assume others' experiences."

Jerrica chuckles. "I'll have whatever meat you have available."
