Chapter 1: Glitterhovel
Gnomes are a bit flighty, Twylyt reminds herself. She also is in someone else’s space, so she decides to abandon her expectations and answer Cobble’s sensitive question.
”My apologies, Master Cobble. What I know is the following. The bishop at Deep Gate has heard a rumor that the Underway in Glitterhovel has been breached. As for the source of the rumor, I only know that it is unreliable. She hopes there is no truth to the rumor, but knowing for certain would allow her to sleep better.”
“I also know the great value the bishop places in the alliance of dwarfs and gnomes. She hopes that my presence, as minor as it is, might reassure all gnomes of the steadfast support of dwarfs for gnomish safety. While it is well-known that gnomes can protect themselves, having allies is always beneficial. Therefore, if there is assistance I could provide on the above-ground kobold nuisance, then I would be pleased to provide it, in addition to being able to provide a report to the bishop on the Underway.”
“Speaking of which, I would be grateful if you could pass word to my father of my safe arrival and of your hospitality. Priest Holgart Stonebeard is his name. That would warm my heart more than even the tea would,” Twylyt concludes with a smile and shake of her head to Terry to refuse his kind offer.
DM note: Nice post.
