• We approach Cinderforge and see a guy looking for “The Dwarf”.

  • He asks Thraine if he is “The Dwarf”

  • “I’M THE DWARF”, the guard says

  • The pale guy says his name is Francis

    • He claims that “the light” guides him to find the dwarf, but he doesn’t know why
    • He’s been imprisoned, and has been searching for the dwarf for years
  • Francis says if he doesn’t find the dwarf, the world will be consumed

  • The guard lets us into Cinderforge. We’re being led to the king

  • Everyone in the city seems disciplined and focused

  • Everything is smoky and the skies are filled with soot. The volcano towers on the horizon

  • We meet the king. He is resistant to trade with the kingdom.

  • To prove ourselves, he wants us to fight his champion. We each take turns fighting the champion until either he or our group is defeated.

  • Sylas gives Thraine some mage armor

  • The Champion:

  • It was a hard-fought battle, but we defeat The Champion.

  • We complete the quest, and split the rewards

  • The Autumngrove official tells us that the Queen of Autumngrove wants us to travel to the Frozen Forests next, and will supply an upgraded airship

  • We head to The Outlands because Sylas needs to drop off a letter.

  • When we arrive, some weird hairy guy is eyeballing Meowfi

  • Sylas tells him to go walk into the water and he does

  • We find the address of the letter, while Meowfi, Thraine, and Francis go to an armor shop

  • A bearded man opens the door, and welcomes us in.

  • He appears to be some false god who really likes it when we stroke his beard. He wants us to follow him.

  • His name is Gungi
