"No worries, Mushy. I am happy to have seen these gauntlets with my own eyes. Is there something else than Ingots here we could use in our journey ?"

Pausing, Kurma add after a few minutes: "I'm not sure but it seems that there are still some creatures around. It seems there is also a mine shaft going down. Should we explore it and clear your mines once for all ? (OOC: I'm thinking of the Whymhart mines I saw on the map.)

Brunella feels the reverence of Moradin in this room, and the divine respect of the god of dwarves. When Felix suggests taking a few ingots, she crosses her arms and glowers at him, interposing herself in front of him.

Kurma follows Mushy out of the room, dreaming about mighty dragon...

"Very well, let's clean up your place first...How can we reach the place?", says the Turtle, pointing out south, where he heard some noises a few moments ago.

Musharib: "We could cross the chain conveyors hand-over-hand from the storage rooms. It won't be exactly easy..."

Irommek looks on in awe and hears Felix’s request and begins a little daydream of building wondrous things with the ingots.  Shaking himself, he comes back to reality and turns to Felix.

“Ah, Musharib is right.  It’s quite a haul but his people have suffered and it’ll help them rebuild.  I think that there are still plenty of dungeons to delve on this strange island and I’ll gladly help you find some good treasures elsewhere my friend.  …besides, you have the jug and where it goes, I’ll gladly follow!!”

Feeling strangely at home but unworthy of Moradin’s blessing, Irommek gladly accepts Musharib’s challenge of crossing the chain conveyors in his lighter armor. 

“Shall we take a short break or go immediately?”

Felix kind of upset that nothing was gain ,will leave first ignoring Burnella. He will wait outside as the other are talking.

[That small cave to the north before the guards, is that visible to us?]

OOC The small cave before the statue is the one where you found the keys' moulds.

[Cool, I thought so just want to be sure]

Felix will wait outside for the others.

Oniss looks around the room and the splendor and also follows Felix out with some disappointment.  Oniss reflects on his teachings and knows that it is better not to take advantage of those who are in your good graces for the moment.  As always Oniss quickly details the contents of the room in case relationships change and information is always valuable.  Oniss says to Felix.

"Another adventure with little benefits for the likes of us.  I hope this Syndra hold up their end with some worthwhile loot."  

"Yeah, there has been basically no profit gain this entire expedition and the group seems to forget we still owe a debt to a merchant prince. But that's what happen when you run with bleeding hearts."

Nodding at Felix,

" I respect the doing things for the greater good, but I normally consider myself the greater good.  I have never been apart of something to this scale...at least on how our benefactors and the people of this island see it?"

Inete is silent most of the time, but these comments trigger something inside her: " Is profit that worth fighting for?  Is there nothing else that you believe in?"

Oniss looks to Inete.  He feels a mix of both shame and anger.  Oniss knows hat Inete is from this island and has been having to deal with this curse longer then the mainland seems to have even known about.  But Oniss also feels that he was somehow conned into joining this group and setting fourth on his adventure.  

"I have lived a life that I would not wish upon another.  I cope with my own life by living as comfortably as I can in the moment.  I con some gold here and there and...mislead those who may be weighed down by their riches.  I honestly never take more then I need to get by...granted get by comfortably... I just to get by and enough to get to the next town.  As for something more?  That I cant say. The person I loved most had sold me for coin when times were tough and this island is the first time I have used my own name in years.  I have no connection to the gods, while I respect you and your faith, any deity I knew has long since abandoned."

Oniss pauses for a few beats then looks to the floor.

"I did not mean to get upset. I support this cause but I also need to think of my future.  If our benefactor leaves me with nothing then all I will be is story rich for a life I will not lead."  

Inete just nods at Oniss, immersed in her own thoughts.

Brunella listens to the conversation. She doesn't really understand this idea of debt to a merchant prince. She doesn't see why her companions are worrying about this far away person from a long time ago. It's been months since they have been in the jungle together, and this is the only reality for her. Her companions are the first city dwellers that she feels kindship with, but their concerns are so alien to her that she finds it difficult to relate.

She places a hand on Oniss' shoulder, understanding only that he is dejected.

"It is okay. Your future will be strong"

In agreement with Musharib, the treasure room is sealed again, hoping the albino dwarf clan could take Hrakhamar soon.

The party then goes back to the storage room. In there, there is a passage that takes to a platform where it could be possible to cross the lava river via the chain conveyor.

Brunella, without ceremonies, goes first.

But the tiredness takes over, the extreme hot of the lava river being too much even for a dwarf. In a second that lasts an eternity, Brunella falls...

Fire damage: 56

Brunella just barely has time to register what happened, as her fingers slip on the metal. She opens her mouth to make a sound, and is then engulfed by lava.

"I've got nothing else to live for, like oniss I have lost my family. I have no faith in God anymore. The only people I can trust are the people present."

Felix see Burnella go down onto the lava tries to act!

Initiative: 12

"Oh by Oghma, Brunella !!!!" The turtle just realise that the dwarf fell in the lava

Initiative : 6
