[HQ Ignorance] Scene 113: The Siege of the Iron Fort

[Erica Hoehn]

Kalen wonders around the fort as the others deal with the diplomatic issues.  He notices that parts of the fort resemble dwarven work but is unsure which type of dwarf could have been responsible as it is not to any design he is familiar with.  He approaches Rotterex and the wizard with his findings.

Off course this raises the interest of the wizard who finds some old maps of the building and they all begin to explore - and where else would they start but underground, the natural home of dwarves.
