I climbed to get to get to the dwarfs hideout as he owes me some answers to three of my questions.

As I climb up this ridiculously huge rock face I grabbed hold of a rail line and haul myself up with all my might and I find a cave entrance which could of been a mine at some point judging by the rail lines I found outside of it.

The entrance has two heads dangling from the top of it one is a human and the other is an elf still unsettling to say the least.

"What who's there!?" I heard a familiar voice call out from the dark.
"Is that you Gyarmuck?" I asked.

"What does he want?" he asks no one in particular... I don't think.
"I'll be having words with you"
"I don't answer to anyone... but the shadow now"
"Well that answers two of my questions it also explains a lot"

Well that does just leave one question which is good.

"You have come along way for just three questions... Or have you come for me as well to recapture me for the order Rolwin!"

"You really are a loyal lapdog for your beloved prophetess. They say your hard to kill... For a human but humans can't see in the dark can they?"

The dwarf smashed his lantern with his staff/spear thing and we fought in the dark while I was listening to his speaking and grunts of effort wielding that spear of his.

"I may not be able to see but I can hear a loud mouthed dwarf well enough even though I'd rather not have to kill you I need information."

"The Order hangs by a thread, Rolwin.
Come join the ever rising Shadow. And join our cause!" he says in a last ditch effort to make me convert and join the 'dark side'

"You've said your part. Now tell me why the Shadow is gathering here in the North and the identity of your contact while your at it!" I said with my blade against his throat.

"Alright fine you got me... In a few days the god of death will reawaken and then you will have your 'answers' Rolwin"

"My lady is impatient dwarf now tell me or... Die!"

"Die?"
"I do not fear death as all you mortal people do I only fear it's master so I won't tell you anything else"

"Fine... So be it!"
"Give my regards to your master"

"The Shadow grows with every life that's taken. When Rugorim's raiders bring us the vessel not even the gods themselves will be able to stand against our power" He reminisced in the moment for what felt like ages.

"Rugorim's raiders?" I interrupted "Thank you. That's just what I needed to know." As I was about to leave he replied.

"You're welcome... Now die... In pieces!" He said while lighting the bomb and chucked it into my hands foolish mistake in my personal opinion.

"Oh!" was all he managed to say as I chucked the bomb back into his hands before the bomb exploded I made my way to the cave entrance before the bomb exploded to avoid said blast and make my way down the cliff and towards a town to let the order know of my knowledge and stop the Shadow... Once. And. For... All! But before that I think I'll go get myself a slice of apple pie at the Inn nearby.
