You have been honing your skills from village to village taking small things, mostly just to survive. But from time to time more for fun. In the current village you are in you manage to find some odd markings on a few buildings, and tried to learn what they meant and meet up with a small group of thieves, lead by a female Aasimar named Lava, average height, and a little overweight, lighter skin tone with short brown hair. She has given you a few pieces of work, but now she has a real good job for you, one that will pay out well. Breaking into a house and taking from it a book. Despite your great skills, as soon as you got to the prize you found out that you were not good enough, and then you realized that it was already too late, as the world around you went dark. You wake, hours? A day, many days later? Who knows but you are in a hand cart, it is being pushed by a large bugbear. He stands kind of short at about 6 foot 4, but he is thick and massive. Dark gray clothing under dark brown leather chest and shoulder pieces, bracers on his wrist and calves. His hair is not very long and has streaks of gray, none go into his beard. A torch leads the way attached to the front of the cart, your wrists are bound by chains, crude but effective.
“Well well well, welcome to the world of the living, for now.” He lets out a deep laugh, “I bet you thought you were slick, or did you not know that Iroznos the Bronze was back and fully alive, it's been 500 years, you and I were not even thought of yet, no elves alive were born when he died. No matter.” another deep laugh. “If you wish to stay alive you must do 2 things speak truthful and say the right things. Iroznos will get to the bottom of you.” One big bump sends you up in the air a little and then things start to get lighter as you notice you have entered a cave that is being magically lit by silver torches that flicker with the light of lightning. Then the cart’s wheel stops, but the basket that you are in and you with it do not stop, then the basket stops and you tumble to the ground. Once you stop falling you see an Adult Bronze Dragon sitting on, for a lack of words, throne. They speak, "Well hello child, I am to understand that you tried to steal from me? Why should I not fry you right now?" And Iroznos' mouth opens wide and you are able to see lightning forming in their mouth
"Wait! There's a lot of reasons you shouldn't kill me! I'm a very not-good-for-killing person! I can't really demonstrate my abilities in this situation, but I'm very useful to have arond. I could fight for you, or... or... steal for you. If you don't kill me I'd be very grateful!"

I will protect those I hate. Even ... even if the one I hate most ... is ... myself.
"Greatful? A new pet? Theggarr how was she except her what 4 or 5 mistakes?"
The bugbear speakes up. "Well they, ummmm, they didn't. I had let the gas out on my own."
You then hear another voice come from the darkness "I told you, I told you she was good. She is the best I've seen in a long time." Then you see the body that matches the voice, Lava. "She is the one for this job."
Iroznos' look becomes a little happier, "Is this so? Are you really THAT good?"
"I am, I swear! I'm the greatest thief to walk this realm. I've... stolen money from rich people! and... money from less than rich people! And this is the only time I've ever been caught."

"When Lassaniel killed me, she stole something precious to me. A Ruby, it currently sits at her old temple on the Island of Faerdon, it is lost but it is near the settlement of Vanshar. I wish to have my jem back. You do look a little weak, if you need some help I’d be happy to offer you a little muscle to go with you, Theggarr can take you to our barracks.” The dragon’s attention turns from you as if you are no longer there. “Rivnu and Shaampic I need a report, what have you heard from the other Storm Bringers?”
I did add a link to the google doc that has a list of the gods.
Theggarr leads you to a chamber that has a few boxes, and patches of rock that have dirt and dead plants, one of these patches is a person sleeping. There are 4 other peole in the room.
First is a Hobgoblin wearing leather armor, and a long sword with a shield, he is flickering lightning between his fingers, then pulls out his sword and flickers the lightning down the blade.
Second is a goblin who is compleatly nake while using a rock as a weight
Third is a Galiath, in a set of metal armor, knealing infront of a shrine to Iroznos
Forth is a Human he is sitting sharpining 2 swords.
(If you wish to retcon any conversation with Theggarr we can of course do that, its about a 15 min walk)
""I'm Leras! Leras smiles and waves at the hobgoblin. "I've heard I get some muscle to help me on my quest to steal a ruby. You seem like you could help."

"Sounds good to me. Lets get going." Mokrak says with a bow. He speaks with a quiet voice.
"Well when you go to port you will be looking for any ship with this logo on it." Theggarr gives you a coin that is much larger than any coin of currency that has a lightning bolt behind a dragon's head. "Show them this coin and let them know you need to go to Faerdon. The old temple is lost in the town of Bylerrune."
Sorry about the massive delay, I thought I had posted and you were breaking for Thanksgiving.
Maintaining his low voice Mokrak talks while leading your way out of the cave and up the coast "How did you end up getting snagged into the servus of Iroznos?

"That sounds great! Rubies, gods, I can handle snything so long as you don't kill me. Let's see this barracks."

Iroznos is ignoring you completely.
Theggarr leads you to a chamber that has a few boxes, and patches of rock that have dirt and dead plants, one of these patches is a person sleeping. There are 4 other peole in the room.
First is a Hobgoblin wearing leather armor, and a long sword with a shield, he is flickering lightning between his fingers, then pulls out his sword and flickers the lightning down the blade.

"Oh, do I get to choose the muscle that'll be helping me out? That hobgoblin seems pretty strong."

"MOKRAK COME HERE!" the bugbear yealls, and the hobgoblin runs over to you to.
With a stretch of the neck the bugbear says "Yes sir!"
"This is, ummmm this is, well I don't think I got her name yet."

Leras snatches the coin and says "Where is the exit? I don't entirely remember how I got in, I tend to make up things like paths as I go."
