Your supernatural focus helps you close off a foe’s retreat. When you hit a creature with an Opportunity Attack, you can reduce the creature’s Speed to 0 until the end of the current turn. You can then move up to half your Speed as part of the same Reaction. This movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks.
Trolkarl approaches Gohumbee with a smile and a small bundle
Gumby, your service has been steady, your courage plain, and your loyalty more than I could have asked. You have stood with us and now you carry a great purpose back to your kin.
He unwraps the bundle to reveal the statue and silk tapestry along with a sack of coins.
These are yours, a bonus of what we have earned together beyond your salary. Recognition for your contribution. You've earned it.
Then smiles slightly
And besides, House Ravensheld may have lost its station, but we haven't lost our taste. You'll need to do a bit of shopping. If you are to stand as our emissary, you can't return dressed like Gneuman.
Turns to wink at the gnome
The Stonejaw brothers and all of our trust is in you. You must return with pride to your people and give them confidence in the success of this operation. Those who help rebuild this mine will walk in dignity and also share in the success.
Gohumbee accepts the gifts from Trolkarl somewhat awkwardly. "I do not understand what the Stonejaws expect me to accomplish, Trolkarl. Duke Granitebeard is no more known to me than any other," he says with a worried look. "What if I am unable to even meet with him? What if I fail before I can even start?," he continues.
Hoid says to Gohumby, “You will not fail. You have advanced yourself considerably since you began your journeys with The Company. But if you would like us to join you and provide moral support, we will do so. If you go alone, approach people you know, tell them of this opportunity, and eventually you will be granted an audience with someone that can help. That may or may not be Duke Granitebeard. The workers are not thralls or slaves. It would be unwise to offend the Duke, but you are seeking workers of free will. They are who must ultimately be convinced.”
Hoid is right! You are offering the workers a chance to enjoy the prosperity of this enterprise. They should welcome it. And surely, the Duke would welcome the trade that could develop from such relations. This should benefit everyone.
And we are happy to stand by your side. But you have nothing to worry about, we intend to benefit everyone.
Besides, in my experience, I have found dwarven lords to be generous people.

Kragen addresses the group beaming with excitement.
"I have discussed with Cleggor the opportunity of using the fabled Forge and eternal spark hoping to craft and or enhance items for The Company. At some point, i intend to explore it's and my capabilities, hoping to replicate items similar to the ones i had crafted for Chadwick and Hoid. I know not if the stories we have heard are true, it excites me to explore it more.", "I intend to bless the Forge tonight, so the Stonejaws have good fortune using it."
"Cleggor, i have seen Dragons hide used to fashion Armor and that it holds special properties for the wearers. Would you be opposed to the harvesting of the hide?"
"Sir Chadwick, would you be willing to assist me with the Stormforged Halberd?"
Then somberly addresses The Party.
"The encounter with the Demon Kyton gave me pause, feeding upon my fears and my past. It sparked concern and regret that i have not returned to my homeland and seen to the condition of my Clan. After loosing my parents to a mine cave in, i and others were forced to labor mining Bloodstones, Emeralds and other precious gems. I knew of many good Dwarves that were worked to death in extracting all that mine held. I fled the mine and the liege Lord, a Warlock Knight of Vaasa named Thistlepig shortly after my parents were not found."
Taking a breath before moving on "The reason i convey unfortunate events of my past is that i see an opportunity, in this great place." motions at the Deep Wave mine "I see an opportunity to save my clan and provide a better future, allowing them to start a new and earn an honest living empowered by providing for themselves and their families.", "This used to be a great Dwarven city, it could be that once again."
"The Demon has given me a sense of urgency and purpose that i have been missing, at the soonest opportunity, i intend to return to Delhalls and the Vaasa mountains to see what has become of my people.", "I would be honored and appreciative if you would accompany me on that journey."
Kragen turns and heads into the Mine to perform ritual Ceremony and Bless the forge, harvest the hide from the Shadow Dragon and then complete his prayers before returning to camp.
Starker shuts the spellbook he had been inscribing:”I suppose the necromancer can wait, unless his lair happens to be on the way to Kragen’s destination. I would be more than happy to assist in killing this Thistlepig if his actions in any way discommoded Friend Kragen or his kin.”
"Friends, i appreciate your comraderie and support, truly Tyr has blessed me! However my anxiousness and the fear that i felt in fighting the Kyton may have brought me to haste. I plan to attempt to contact my kin and the old Dwarven Hermit, Xikar Cutter, to survey the conditions back home. We can certainly conduct/conclude our business here and, if we so choose, fulfill Starker's wishes to investigate the Map we have assembled."
"Once i have more information, i will inform the group of my intentions."
Kragen's homeland and the Delhalls Mine are to the east. Travel is likely a month or more and across a large desert. Longer if you go around the desert.
The valley depicted in the map about Illiandil and the Granitethew clan are NW of Shalecliff.
Travel to either of these destinations starts with a journey back to Shalecliff. The Stonejaw's are interested in heading there and then on to Mirabar to put their newfound wealth in a safer location.
Starker:”I have a colleague in Shalecliff I would like to consult on a few arcane matters. Let’s go there and then we will probably know if we are to go and kill Kragen’s enemy or folow the map to where ‘n’ marks the necromancer.
”If we need to go to Kragen’s homestead quickly then perhaps we could get passage on a sky ship?”
Regarding topic of arcane research, Starker, you previously mentioned utilizing the ring we discovered for a project. Additionally, we detected an unidentified presence emanating from it. Are there any tests that could be conducted presently to ensure your safety while handling it?

Gneuman: "They gave me a tattoo!"
Gneuman taps Ajax lightly on the snout to get his attention.
"Do you see this?" He pulls out the 500gp peridot and holds it close to the tiny dragon's face. "This is yours."
"You can do whatever you want with it." The Gnome scratches his chin, thinking a moment.
"I guess that I will just hold onto it for you for safe keeping."
Kragen addresses the group beaming with excitement.

"Kragen I will always stand by your side in aiding in work or in battle."
Chadwick will assist Kragen in his endeavors.

If feasible, Hoid would like to take the dragon skull and/or stuffed owlbear to Jotrun’s.

Okay
Regarding topic of arcane research, Starker, you previously mentioned utilizing the ring we discovered for a project. Additionally, we detected an unidentified presence emanating from it. Are there any tests that could be conducted presently to ensure your safety while handling it?
Starker:”None of which I am aware. I hope to discuss this with my colleague in Shalecliff, among other things.”
