Are we storming a castle? Sneaking in? What we doin? Eggy wants inside. Seems like there’s only a couple ways in. I go sneak up to look. The dome has tiny windows way up. The buildings are all shut up with no way in. There’s a little stream coming out one place, but the bars are too close together for me. Sandy comes up to squeeze through. After a while, he comes back and says there’s a well inside, but then in just goes into the mountain. The rest of us can’t get though this way. The big doors are so heavy there’s no sneaking in that way and there’s big things moving around inside. So, we head back to the group.

What if the people inside need help? The blue dwarves are from under the dark not up on the hill. What if they got attacked by the blue ones or just saw them? Maybe they’re not the bad guys. We can’t all sneak up anyway, and that big door is obvious. So, we just start walking up and calling out to them that we’re here to help.

They shoot us. From the dome.

Eggy says it is the blue dwarves after all, so we shoot back. Saalym gets right up on the side of the dome and Sandy goes right inside! The windows are too small for anyone else, but Twitch says he can make me tiny and he can magic himself inside. So, Sandy, Twitch, and me go inside to scout. Doc says he’s going to take a quick nap until we get back, and Leshy makes my eyes glow or something.

WOW! Seeing in the dark is so cool! Is this what Doc sees all the time??? No wonder he’s so sneaky.

We head down the ladders and into a tunnel and back up another ladder. The first room is pretty empty, but the second room has piles of supplies and stuff. And some really big blue dwarves who attack us! We attack them right back. I miss Doc, but we put them down and take their money and stuff. I get some more rope and climbing stuff and Twitch gets some herbs. The next room has even more big blue dwarves, so we have to fight them, too. I guess the others got bored waiting, cuz we hear gunshots from the next room over.

The others had bust in and killed some dead ogres and goats and big blue dwarves. A bunch of them fell in a pit, but not all. Everybody’s tired but it’s really not a good place to stop, there’s doors everywhere! So, I sneak off down a short hall to a bit empty room, there’s a couple doors to another room with a lever in it. I can’t tell what the lever does, but there’s another hall with a door. Sounds like there’s people in there. This seems better than the front area, so I whisper for them to come here.

I really want to find out what this lever does, but I just hold it. The group comes to join me and when Saalym gets in the doorway, someone else pushes the lever down! It wasn’t me, I swear! I stabbed him real good, too, to prove it. the two doors came down with only Saalym getting through to me. A bunch more things come rushing down the hall. Some of the dwarves were inside big metal suits! Eggy gets the door back up so everyone can get through. Nobody wanted to break the suits, I guess, cuz they just kept trying to stab the dwarves inside. I had my hands full with the dwarves not in suits.

One of them ran away down the hall after all his friends were dead. We chased after him and when he opened the door, the hallway caught fire! It hurt a lot, but we kept going. Killed him and his magic friend. This room is nice and quiet. It has pretty rocks in it. This seems like a much better place to rest.

Wait. Where’s Doc?
