Meeting the Mirewater Dwarf

Tyro first notices a dwarf sitting on a log by the side of the path. Dworin speaks to him in Dwarven and asks whether he lost his army. The dwarf grunts a ‘no’. Dworin asks him as to why he’s alone in the forest but the dwarf tells him to move on. Dworin asks whether he’s seen any goblins around the dwarf spits in distaste. Tyro speaks to the dwarf in Dwarven much to the dwarf’s and Dworin’s surprise and asks him to help them. the dwarf says that he is looking for his eagle which had gone to perform a raid on a nearby village. Dworin speaks to the others in Common telling them what the other dwarf has said, realising that this dwarf is from Mirewater – the dwarves who originally stole the hammer. He intimates that he is going to attack. Dworin sits near the dwarf on the log and tells him that his eagle has been shot down and that the hammer which the eagle stole is what Dworin is looking for, upon hearing this the dwarf tries to punch Dworin but misses. Dworin draws his hand sword while Gus, Quinn and Lady Amyra prepare their weapons for attack. Bialer walks up to him and slaps him telling him that he shouldn’t steal things from other people! In the remaining space that there is the dwarf tries to punch Bialer but fails. Bialer attempts to stab down at the dwarf but misses. Tyro throws a dagger but it flies past the dwarf’s head. Quinn casts HOLD PERSON on the dwarf. Lady Amyra fires an arrow at the dwarf piercing its neck. Blood is spurting from the wound. After a couple of other attacks the dwarf drops down with blood spurting out of his neck from the arrow wounds. Dworin searches the dwarf and finds: backpack, helmet, chainmail, ring (taken by Dworin) and a large wooden shield. In the backpack there is the usual bedroll, etc plus a small vial (taken by Dworin) and a belt pouch with about 50 gold pieces, which Dworin passes on to Bialer to keep.
