Runequest: Worlds edge

Beginnings

Our story begins like so many others, in a tavern.
A dragonewt warrior was sitting across from a red elf. Dragonewt warriors are rarely seen outside of their villages. they are bipedal humanoid lizards with an insane amount of muscle. Red elves appearances can vary A Lot depending on the individual this particular one had large leaves on the back of its head resembling long hair.
"So what've you been up to?" The dragonewt asks
"Oh just gathering money to buy this"
The red elf picks up a satchel and pours the contents on to the table.
In the satchel is lots of mage stones and a few runes. But also a large piece of obsidian.
The dragonewts scales stand up
"My god Hel. That must have cost a fortune"
"Yeah an arm and a leg" a smile spreads across the red elf appearently named Hels face.
The dragonewt tilts its head.
"Is that the stone I think it is"
"Yes Sven."
"So I'm assuming a fair share of guards are after you?"
"Ehh. What if I said those guards were the lunar coders were after it?"
The dragonewt (appearently named sven) suddenly gets up.
"We are leaving Pavis NOW"
"I would but all gates except the lion gate have manditory checks. And the lion gate is for military only"
"But you have the stone. Lets just punch a hole in the wall"
"As if nobody would NOTICE"
At this point the entire tavern is looking at the duo curiously.
Sven grabs Hel by the wrist and forcefully pulls him out of the tavern. Grabbing only the stone on the way out.
The streets outside are extremely crowded as Sven leads Hel down an alley.
"Why are you panicking aren't you dragonewts immortal?"
Sven looks at him angrily "you know i deviated years ago!"
"Heh just teasing you. There's an unmonitored spot near the zebra gate we could punch through. But it is 6 meters of solid stone we will need something powerful to punch through"
"I heard about a bandit mage living in a shack near the dragon statue. He wouldn't tell anyone and he definitely knows some destructive spells."
"Uuuuugh its such a long walk to the statue."
"Stop complaining"
Sven grabs Hel by the wrist again and starts pulling him down the street.
