Over his meal of roast ox, potatoes, mushrooms and several tankards of ale, Bamur throws in his own two coppers, Nothing wrong with discipline and a strong hand to guide those that need guiding. The sheep need a shepherd.

You should eat something Sylvis, and then get some rest. We have more to explore in the Spire tomorrow. A wizard named Klarkosh to locate. And perhaps two others. You will need to be well fed and rested.
Mine goes by the name Fulgar, but doesn't speak much. As in hardly at all. Fulgar is tied to electricity.
Bamur was exactly as Gash and Sylvis had heard. A typical dwarf, from the top of his head to the tips of his toes. He took great pleasure in describing, in gory detail, the deaths of each and every "gobbie" they had encountered in the Spire on the first delve. And still grumbled about letting the hobgoblin leave with his life. and limbs, intact.
Bamur shakes his head at Kip. Not sure you should be encouraging that kind of thing. Magic is serious business and should be used lightly, is all he says as he joins the others making their way down.
That was a mistake, is all Bamur says on the matter when Grulk is released.
You can't be serious! Bamur objects. You can't trust a bugbear's word! Let me smash his head in! It's the only way to be sure!
Probably be doing him a favor, Bamur chimes in eagerly.
Ok there is a wizard down below. We have his name. So what? Big deal. What are we supposed to do with that information? Bamur asks with eyes narrowing and gripping his hammer more tightly.
Bamur speaks slowly and in a serious tone to the entire group, his eyes not leaving Grulk. You can't trust a bugbear. They have no honor and lie as easy as I breathe. He won't really leave, he'll just wait for an opportunity to ambush us and get his revenge.
Clearly somebody goes, if they "don't come back". So this is your fortress but you haven't been down one level below the main floor? Sounds like hiding to me.
Once Bamur is finished helping secure Grulk, he stands up and readies his hammer and shield once more. Just give me a reason! he thinks to himself before looking at Mythandor and nodding.
He probably doesn't have much to tell us. Or will just lie through his teeth, Bamur shrugs. I could just end him, he offers, motioning his hammer in the direction of the helpless foes head.
Bamur curses even louder when Mythandor falls, stricken by two more arrows from the arrow slit. Once again Bamur utters the incantation to heal his fallen friend, Torag, please heal Mythandor, and the others, upon your forge, that they may continue the fight against those that oppose law and order!
Bamur curses in dwarven when the arrow slit opens but the warning he intends to shout out to Suki is too late. As she slips to the floor grievously wounded, Bamur wastes no time calling upon his god to heal his fallen friend, and any of his allies you might be still nursing injuries of their own...
Being a dwarf, Bamur was quite interested in the peculiar green stone at the core of the tower. After giving it more than a little scrutiny he turned back and looked at Mythandor as he trudged up the stairs. Ever seen anything like that before? he remarked, nodding in the direction of the glowing stone. Reaching the top of the stairs and seeing the door, he stopped short of the portal. This makes two peculiar things in this stairwell. An arrow slit in a door? On a curving staircase? He shook his head before squinting his eyes as he tried to determine if the slit was open while raising his shield just in case. As he watched the door over the top of his upheld shield he called out quietly to Suki, I have a feeling this door is going to be locked. And possibly more, he adds in warning.
Realizing the doors are actually already open, Bamur pushes them open fully and takes a step towards the stairs leading up.
Whenever you are ready then.
Bamur repositions himself at the double doors across the hall in anticipation of opening them soon.
If you guys are done digging around in the dead gobbles boudoir we have another set of doors to explore.
Bamur accepts the offered wand and stashes it in his gear with a nod. This will come in quite handy. I'm certain of it, he says giving Tagagashi a side-eyed look, before smiling and chuckling in obvious jest.
Bamur picks up Clanky's missing arm and tosses it with the rest of Clanky's parts. If you do rebuild it you probably want that, he says to Mythandor.
Bamur scans the room he has re-entered.
Bamur returns to the room to the east, having not properly investigated it in his and Mythandor's haste to re-join the fight.
I'm sure if a gobbie managed to fix it, you would have no problems Mythandor.
I think you were the only one to suffer physical harm Tagagashi. Suki, you seemed... affected in some way there for a moment. Are you alright now?
Bamur wastes no time in finishing the goblin at his feet...
Bamur seeing the others having success, grits his teeth in determination and swings his own hammer again...
Bamur rushes in to help Tagagashi , trying to get the big lugs attention, with his hammer...
Bamur follows Mythandor into the room and moves into position to threaten the goblin with his hammer
Bamur grabs hold of the handle and nods at Mythandor before yanking the door open and allowing his companion to enter first.
Bamur continues to circle around, reaching the previously unopened door.
Frustrated by the constant bottle-necking, Bamur attempts to circle around and come at the fight from another direction. while calling out, Mythandor with me!
Bamur continues to stand ready at the other door.
Bamur steps into the room with the others, and then to the side of the open doorway. He hefts his battle ax and prepares to strike any enemy that might come through the door.
Bamur continues to bring up the rear of the group, watching to make sure nothing sneaks up behind them.
Bamur looks to Tagagashi. I'm fine as well, he replies, But I wouldn't touch me if I were you.
Bamur continues to stand still and silently as tiny lighting storms arc across his armor and weapon. GM: In his head Bamur too begins to have regrets. He is a devoted follower of Torag. This union could possibly disrupt that connection and that makes Bamur quite uncomfortable.
Bamur endures his experience silently.
Bamur offers the thumb of his right hand. As the ring snaps down the stoic dwarf gives no reaction. Flexing the finger a few times he then looks up at the others without a word.
Bamur likewise offers a drop of his life's blood to the cause.
I would be inclined to help, but yes, more information would be helpful.
Bamur looks at Suki, then at Mythandor, and then back at Suki again.
Bamur listens to the girl with healthy skepticism.
Gobbies may be stupid alright, but they can also be quite vicious. This is no place to play games young one. Eyeing the girl another question pops into the dwarf's mind. How is it that you can see in here?
Bamur nods. Aye, we're goods one my dear. How did you come to be locked in here? Are you a prisoner? Bamur motions to the others the all clear, and waves them over. The giggling one is Kip. He's around here somewhere.
Bamur gets Mythandor's attention before opening the door cautiously.
As Mythandor searches the goblin's remains, and Kip sends Mr. Bigglesworth into the chamber after Suki and Tagagashi, Bamur backs down the hall to the double doors that Suki heard crying behind previously. He presses his ear to the door and listens for himself. Whether he hears anything or not he taps lightly on the door with his hammer and asks, Hello?
Bamur continues to keeps watch on the group's rear.
