Divided Discoveries

Luna waved her hand over the vision of the battle and turned to the others.

"We must aid him."

"What of Kespin and the others?" Balar asked. Tiella placed a hand on his arm.

"Go... catch up with them and tell them that the danger is past. Dyvia, Luna and I will go aid the Jotun. He will need healing."

Balar grimaced, he did not like this idea, but the withering glares of his three female companions prevented him from speaking. At last he gave a short nod and ran into the dark tunnels to seek Ifran and the other members of the party.

He moved on at a steady jog for several minutes and then stopped short as the cavern began to open up and the hunched shadows of his companions could be seen taking cover behind a nearby boulder. Kespin and Ifran were peering round the boulder while Majvoc and Jorrik were hanging back weapons drawn.

As he crept towards them Jorrik turned and motioned for him to stay low. Obeying he made his way closer and as he did he discovered what had them all spooked. From the depths of the cavern a soft lamplight could be seen and a deep voice could be heard singing an unfamiliar song. Majvoc pointed with his toe towards a discarded wine skin and a set of runes carved into the stone of the boulder.

Ifran looked up from his vantage point and whispered, "Dwarf."

Dyvia, Luna and Tiella moved warily into the crystal caverns and peered around them for signs of the earth spirits. They appeared to have departed, perhaps dispersed by the loss of their master.

"Where is he?" Tiella asked and Luna closed her eyes for a moment before pointing off to the left.

"Over there." she whispered and the three picked up their pace to find the unconscious giant.

OOC: So all the male members of the party are in the deep tunnels and about to greet our new player, while the women have gone back to fetch their Jotun friend.
