After resting and re-centering, Harukai goes over to the locked door to see if the key will fit. Pulling up short, he asks Nilparin, “Do you want to check it for traps first?”

Turning the key in the lock, you hear a click as the bolt releases. The door creaks open and you see a dwarf lying on the floor near the door. He is bound and gagged.
About to rush in and free the dwarf, Harukai remembers just in time the possibility of shapeshifters possibly impersonating those we came to save and the detailed information Gundren gave us to test potential Dwarven allies. 'Very wise of Brother Greyson to remember that..." he thinks.

The dwarf lays his head back and visibly relaxes his tense body. "Oh thank the gods, I am Nundro Rockseeker, Gundren's brother. He told us that he was going to hire some escorts for his supply wagon, but I guess you got dragged into this whole mess. I was working near the entrance of the cave with my brother Tharden..." and at the mention of his brother's name tears well up in his eyes and his voice cracks "He, he saw the bugbears come in with that damned spider fellow and tried to defend us. They easily overpowered him and showed no mercy when they stabbed him. We had been sidetracking the monsters for weeks while exploring the cave and he made me bring everyone here. They have had me locked up and been beating me in an attempt to get more information about the mine and especially about the old spell forge. I didn't have any information on where it was, but I bet the flaming skull thing probably was keeping watch on it. He was growing more impatient by the day, I probably didn't have much longer before he killed me simply out of frustration. Thank you, you saved my life. Where is Gundren? Is he okay?"
Nundro huffs "Gundren and his damned business ventures. I wish we would have stayed in Sorrolk sometimes." Looking past Jackson, he sees Sildar "Hallwinter! I am glad to see you, you and Gundren left to find the supplies and I have not seen any friendly faces since."
Jackson nods and begins to unbind the dwarf. "Gundren is okay, and please accept my deepest condolences for your brother, Tharden. The flaming skull remains, so I highly suggest we avoid that room on the way out. We will escort you back. I am glad we got here in time to save you. Were there any others here waiting other than you and your brother?"
"Brother Greystone, is there anything else we need to take care of here before we leave? Should we investigate the flaming skull and perhaps the spell forge, or just leave and make sure we conduct Nundro to safety?"
Harukai, looks back and forth between Jackson and Nundro, then decides something. Holding out the moonsword, he gives it to Nundro, saying, "Here, have something to defend yourself with as we go."

"I would hate for Gundren to lose yet another brother," Jackson says, solemnly. "We should get Nundro to safety -- though exploring the rest of the mine certainly would remain a possibility.
Nundro shakes his head “no no one else was in the mine with Tharden and myself. I am unsure if the spider has additional associates anywhere in the mine, they never let me out of this room”
Returning to the previous room, Sildar will reach downand pick up the body of Nezznar, tossing it across his shoulder “We will need to dispose of this properly, I do not wish for some crazed sorcerer to use necromatic means to return this evil to our world”
Harukai will offer Nundro food and water, in an attempt to help relieve his suffering from his recent captivity. “Are you injured, Nundro? Brother Greystone is a healer.”

OOC: yes him having a light source is a good idea. He is the engineer of the brothers and his other brother was the fighter.
“I am bruised and sore from the ordeal but I should be okay. Thank you for your concern and attention. I will be happy to get out of this cave and reunite with Gundren”
On their way out, Harukai will offer to carry Nundro’s brother’s body if needed to get him somewhere for an appropriate burial. Otherwise, he just keeps watch carefully as they leave the tunnels.

Jackson meanwhile knocks on the door in order to elicit a response.
2 hit dice:20
Nil will attempt to check for traps on the door
Investigation: 12
No traps are on the door. Upon knocking you can hear movement and a muffled voice but cannot understand any words being said.

Harukai will try the key if Nilparin gives the all-clear on traps.

Jackson removes the gag but keeps the dwarf bound. "Gundren sent us. What is your name, and from where are does your kin hail from?"

@Nundro...OOC: More of a diplomatic way to ask him to carry the light source, but having a weapon with which to defend himself is good, right?
