    They reach the airship stop. Only 0.5GP for all to head to the first level of the city.

    “As the newb I’ll get this”
    “All aboard that’s coming a board “

    Vrakrash waves.

    'Hail, creature - can you tell me where we are? We mean no harm - only two adventurers trying to find our way.'

    He turns back to Karinth briefly.

    'Tell me of this ritual when we are alone. I vow to help you escape to travel with us. Whatever is required, we can see to it that it is done and completed - in exchange for your freedom.'

    "Very kind of you Jeremy" Ser Boros says placing his mailed left fist to his chest and nodding.

    He steps on.

    Karinth smiles and nods.

    The being makes no response, but large bulges unfold from the side of its head and pulsate.

    'Uh... no harm - we mean? You know any languages, Karinth?'

    Vrakrash attempts to communicate with the being in Draconic.

    The being approaches Vrakrash and removes its gloves. Underneath is a smooth appendage of knotted muscle, it stretches a bit to form fingers, with which the creature attempts to touch Vrakrash....

    Vrakrash looks to Karinth nervously.

    'If this goes wrong... you know what to do.'

    He allows the being to touch him.

    It touches him briefly and speaks into his mind.

    "The city ahead is my races. We are peaceful, though I suspect there is little you would want there. Where do you seek to go?"

    OOC: I'll assume Sarric boards as sKeith headed with you.

    The airship rises into the air and after a five minute journey rises over a sequence of mines and then the city they saw earlier, before docking at a ledge about 600 feet above it.

    'Deep into the Gigadark, the master of the above plane had a room he wishes me to seek out and enter. We also have friends who may have headed there as well.

    So I suppose... the Gigadark at least - and if you know tell of the whereabouts of this room, that would be helpful.'

    "Well this is what you call the Gigadark. The room, do you know anymore of it?"

    Octavius has a bit of a look around.

    "Some of their guard stations for entering that way..." He points further up the ledge "...and a town called Groddin along this walkway" he points down.

    Sarric is impressed with the airship and asks any dwarf that will listen "where can i get one of these bad boys, do i have to inquire of the airship builder themselves or is there a shop i can buy one from?"

    Iuric sighs "Best to get it done quickly" Iuric says seriously to Sarric and Ser Boros as he exits the ship and heads for Dorin's house.

    'A laboratory of some sort, I gather.... the master is peerless in his knowledge of dwarven physiology. Opened by.... this.'

    Vrakrash shows the being the medallion.

    Dorin is sitting outside the front door, just outside the town.

    He sees Iuric approaching and hangs his head, holding his hands to his eyes.

    "What...of the house lad? And what happened to him?"

    "Yes we know it, though we leave it. It is two days travel from here.

    I will warn you, that this place is dangerous beyond what you uppers know. You are familiar with strong beasts I take it, the ones here are more...strange...to your logic. I would be careful."

    Sarric catches up with Iuric.

    Vrakrash turns to Karinth.

    'Danger afoot - beasts that are different to what we ever faced. You up for it?'

    He turns back to the being.

    'We will set out soon but do we have permission to enter your city, trade and rest for the night?'

    "The house should have returned to normal and what happened can never happen again." Iuric takes a deep breath "As for Hurguil, there is no easy way to say this but he died. If it's some small consolation, he died valiantly" Iuric decides to lie for this next part, Dorin doesn't need to know the truth "and painlessly."

    Sarric finishes his ale from the tankard, and hands the empty tankard to Dorin, "Here a memento I brought back from that plane which now no longer exists and is the final resting place of Hurguil, I hope it serves as a memorial for you."

    He cannot bring himself to look up at Iuric, so thick are the tears.

    "Thank you for that. Payment for the job then..."

    He holds forward 1,000GP

    'Thank you. For the information and for safe passage. One final question.... is there a way to send a message to Dhurn Dharal from here? Or at the very least leave a message for our companions who may pass through this area at some point.

    And finally... what should I call you... and your kind?'
