You have been into the Underdark. Your company fought back a Duergar intrusion north of Neverwinter 2 seasons ago. You know that Duergar are just one of the perils you may face. Drow inhabit some areas, and if you go too deep it has been reported that mindflayers have been found. Not to mention odd monsters.
"No, Maxwell Ashbridge, I have not been to the underdark. As yet there is no indication the first forge would be there," Anvil replies to the question.
He turns back to look in the cart and see what equipment has been loaded. Then he remembers what he's supposed to say next.
"I am Anvil," he says and turns his attention back to the cart.

You have adventured into the Underdark many times. Having rescued several dwarves nobles from demonically enhanced kobolds. You've also tussled with a fire giant who was building a forge and was causing lava to erupt and threatening several villages in one of the valleys along the spine of the world.
"Been there, done a lot," Sulfus takes a moment to think, "Some a lot of fun with some dwarves with titles and stuff. Killed some crazy kobolds for them. There was that Fire Giant with lava ecrupting everywhere. It was nice and warm fight,"

Gruno gives the older gentleman a quick bow, "Well met Sir Ashbridge, while I have seen many things good and bad above ground, I fear I have never made any excursions into the underdark."
”The underdark you say? Well, can’t say I’ve been or even know much about it, but for the right coin, sir, I’m willing to try most anything.” Gaetana responds to the elderly gentleman.
"I've spent a good part of my life studying the Underdark. It is a fascinating world filled with incredible things. We've recently discovered something old surprisingly close to the surface. We are heading to this place for the first time. The teams we had digging when it was discovered never ran into any problems so I dont expect much, but I'm a firm believer in being prepared." He pats Flax on the forearm. "Now I must see to the final preparation. Ill leave Flax to handle you all." He gives you all a smile and heads off to talk with the others who are just about done loading up.
Flax turns to you all "Alright, I need 3 of you t' take up the front wagon and 2 with me in the rear....Golwing and Grunomar come with me. the rest find your way t' the front and drinks are on me when we get back." She grasps each of your forearms before moving off to the rear cart.
"I'll be in the front then. I can't spot things well but I can definitely see things from afar and takes the first volley," Sulfas states as he jumps into the front seat.

Anvil looks down at Flax's hand as she grasps his forearm. Then looks up at her face and turns his head slightly to the side then nods. He then follows Sulfas to the front. As the get settled, he peppers Sulfas with questions about the fire giant he just mentioned and whether or not it had a forge.
"Was it a large forge? Lava provided the heat? This was above ground? Below ground? Did it sink into the lava? Is it still there? Can you craft a map to its location?," Anvil asks in a series of rapid fire question, pausing if answers are provided, continuing if they aren't.
Eventually Anvil will cease asking the questions once he's satisfied he's learned everything he can from Sulfas.
Gaetana heads over to the front following Anvil and grabs ahold of the edge and deftly swings her body over the edge and sits between Sulfas and Anvil. “Well boys, looks like we’re heading to the underdark. Should be an interesting trip I hope.” Gaetana says with a gleam in her eye and turns to Sulfas, “Glad one of us has had the pleasure at least. But I do hope we get going soon, I do not like waiting.”
Golwing says to Gaetana: I've been down there once, but we celebrated our success, so i dont remember a lot. Mostly dark and damp with a lot of crawly-creatures He then lets the caravan pass until he finds himself at the end. He then adresses his two rear-guard companions: Simply the fact that we are here makes me think that something will happen.
Anvil looks at Gaetana then past her to Sulfas and then down at himself.
”I do think of myself as male but I’m curious what is it about me that mad you think male? I do not have primary or secondary features that would indicate a physical gender.”
Anvil then turns to watch their surroundings as they begin their journey.
“Interesting question, warforged…” Gaetana lifts her eyebrow as she ponders this one. “Not sure if I can pin that one down for you. Might be the way you carry yourself, the way you ask all sorts of questions, might just be since that is how you see yourself it carries through. I am pretty perceptive.” And she gives him a wink.
Anvil turns back and stares at Gaetana for a long moment. Finally, one of his eyes darken, leaving only one looking at the bounty hunter. After a long moment, it lights up again and both eyes stare at Gaetana. She quickly realizes he's just 'winked' back.
Anvil then watches carefully for danger as they travel.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
It takes a bit for Gaetana to realize what is going on as Anvil stares at her. But once it finally dawns on her, she laughs and claps her hands like she has been entertained. “You know something, warforged? I like you. I think we’re going to get along real well.” Then she too turns to watch for danger as they head down the road.

Very shortly after settling in the wagon master whistles and the caravan begins to head out.
Golwing says to Gaetana:
