The canyon’s rocky walls rise to a height of eighty feet. At the end of the canyon, a twenty-foot-high wall of black stone has a broken gate carved into it, with one stone door hanging precariously by a hinge and the other door missing. Beyond this open gate, in the shadow of a great mountain to the east, lies a ruined settlement. All is quiet. Though you see 2 dwarves in the corner eating some rations and the right one readies to draw his club while the other just seems surprised to see people here
Bwadle will give a curt hale with his weapon. "S'alrigh' we come from town!" He nudges One "You talk to'em, you seem to be able t'least pacify with c'fusion."
One - Hearing Bawdles request says, "Hello. This one and the rest of the group have been sent to ensure your safety.", Looking around the place. "It appears that there has been some structural damage to this area. It does not seem safe to linger here for more time than is necessary. Where might the other dwarves that occupied this site be at this current place and time?, " Seeing that the dwarves were eating One says, "This one is equipped to enhance the flavor of any food. Would either of you wish to have your food altered in any such way?".
"Uhh, no, the food is fine, you see, the other Dwarven Priests... From what we can tell, have turned to Ochre Jellies, and so we had to run back to the entrance to not become one ourselves"
"Crawling Goo, no matter how many times we've tried to slice it it just splits into to smaller versions of itself, they pack a punch too, way hard to run from them too because it can just slide under the doors, got no idea why they're here though"
"Why are you here, friends? What do you hope to find that is worth facing these... jellies? I am afraid there is also a dragon you should be worried about."
Smart boi you are Bwadle "Treasure, that's what, lots and lots of treasure, also we don't need to care about the dragon, once you clear this out the dragon won't bother trying to squeeze into here, you are clearing it out aren't you?"
"Well, that depends. Our job here is to warn you of the dragon threat. We could be persuaded to help you, of course. Maybe we get to keep what we find in there?"
"Well, if you need persuasion then I think these are plenty enough, Sending Stones, speak through one, message comes out of the other, it needs to recharge every now and then but they're still plenty useful" https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/sending-stones

Does Wilkas recognise any features, what the settlement's purpose was or who built it? History 11 (also see background)
It's clear that this used to be a temple or place of worship

"Turned to wha....?" Gronk will begin to reply and then get lost in his head thinking about how a person can become jelly.

Bwadle blanches at the thought of jelly made of Okra and how bitter that jelly would be.
One - Looking at the dwarves and hearing what they said says, "This one does not understand clarification is needed. What are 'Ochre Jellies'? "

(Sorry, one more post) Hearing the Dwarves mention slashing splitting them into more, Bwadle will put his javelin and shield away and draw his maul.

"I might be ill equiped for this but I won't abandon the group." Gronk says, looking at his collection of axes.

"If ye'need a weapon other'n that axe, I have a few I c'n spare."
"Aye, that may be best."
