Our Friends Under the Mountain

Good day everyone,

I do not know if anyone remembers the dwarves who live beneath the volcano in Pendarvin but they are in trouble. There's creatures that destroy metal (including mithril) and, unfortunately, that's the majority of what the dwarves have to combat them. They're trapped and running out of resources.

Meander helped me with some initial research and I need at least a smith who is willing to craft leather and wooden/crystal armaments to fight these creatures. Other suggestions welcome.

Absolutely no metal.

Also, maybe a druid to help me try and figure out the blight/poison bits she found in the blood.

If you're actually interested, I'll send you a copy of the notes.

Thank you for reading,
Squire Ilana Darkwood

I was not awake enough when I wrote this and forgot to mention: I realize I could make enough psalms of Brazen's prayer to change everything to another material but there is something down there causing power to act strangely (it's explained in a letter I received from him) and while I will be bringing the psalms just in case, I prefer knowing they'll stay the way we need them to.

The guy I buy my Elementium from?
I can help with work orders.

Mistress Darkwood,

I am neither smith nor druid, but as a man of the wilds, the idea of some beast that damages the natural order of things is an affront to me. I cannot offer much aside from my time, my blade, and my meager druidics, but I will do all I can to provide aid to these dwarves. Contact me if you feel I could be of use.

Yours,
Ferrian Tyrell

Van,

Yes, Glangill and his people are not faring well. Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you Ferrian,

This moon will be a month of preparations, trying to determine about how many people would go so I can have enough armaments made and plan a 'safe' route to travel. Safe is a relative term in this case. I mean more along the lines of not have everyone fall into lava and determine transportation from Travance, Honor's Peak, and back.

I am terrible with names and I may have met you already and I apologize for not recognizing the name, but if you would like speak with me at the feast, we can work on the details there. I generally have a black shield with Galladel's symbol (a gold ring) slung to my back and a Pendarvin tabard (blue and white).

I suggest crystal weapons and eanged weapons may be the way to go

As long as the arrows aren't tipped with metal, absolutely.
