Grumni raised a bushy eyebrow.
"Our purpose is clear lad. we've got ter send that necromancer ter the bowels of hell. He's a slippery devil though and we have ter chase him when the chance arises even if it means going in circles."
The dwarf scratched his beard and took a swig from a small silver flask.
"It'd be good ter have a plan but I can't think of anything."

After searching thru various crypts again, the party has explored a bit around the back door entrance to the temple complex and found a path leading thru the trees back towards the main road. Scene opens on the party walking cautiously along this path.

Grumni looked skywards nervously for any sign of the dragon. A terrible thought occurred to him and the colour drained from his face.
"What if that lass we were travelling with never ran away in the night? Could be that dragon stole her away ter enact some terrible vengence."
The dwarf quickly retrieved his silver flask and took a long swig.
"Them dragons are patient devils, maybe he's took his time and now its us he's after." He continued, looking towards Rand.
"I'm thinking we're awfully open to attack strolling along like this."

Damned dragons, I'm carrying enough gold for him to smell me out of a pig farm.
*looks nervously skyward*
Do you see it anywhere?

"I'm thinking it is those kobolds that have to do the worrying. They were the ones that had the egg in the first place; surely a dragon would not entrust her egg to a group of kobolds, do you think?"
"I figure the kobolds took the egg from the dragon and she has tracked them back to their cave. That means she will be sniffing around in that valley while we are on this side of the ridge."
"But, perhaps we could pick the pace up a bit ... just to be on the safe side? And try not to make too much noise ..."

*clunks along with his 12 bags of gold, heavy armor and multiple metal weapons strapped to him*

Grumni trudged along muttering under his breath.
"Dumb Kobalds and their stupid eggs, it was probably rotten anyway."

The gnome was starting to really dislike this strange place. Ants, ants ants more ants. Secret doors without keys not to mention that big Throne with some Evil aura. Dig through the mountain? Could they really do that. And now what? A dragon flying above their heads?
"We are not going to last long without food and water. So what can we do now?"

"Spring, you really have to come better prepared next time. These borderlands are not the place to be running short of supplies," said Eli.

Grumni contined his march occasionally looking skyward for signs of the dreaded dragon and muttering curses.
"Alright lads, if yer fixed on not digging the tunnel I'm thinking we're in need of better equipment ter take on monsters like them golems and fer that we'll need more coin." The dwarf's tone hinted at frustration.
He paused a moment to consider the options.
"I don't like leaving that necromancer ter regroup but the wandering tower sounds our best bet fer finding treasure ter me."

The hob padded along with the group, one hand tossing bits of trail mix into his mouth at regular intervals.
"hmm ... I'm not at all certain that tower is going to be any less difficult -- I mean what sort of magic is at play that can hide an entire tower?"
"I know some of you have explored more of those caves back in the valley ... but have you gone into all of them? These caves are all tied in with this necromancer in some manner -- supplying his army with dead if nothing else. I'm just thinking perhaps we need to revisit each of those caves in turn to see if we've missed anything -- or at least check out the ones we haven't been in yet ... assuming that dragon isn't back there waiting for us."

The man hears the opinion of the others, unsure about what to do next, they had being walking in circles for some time now, and it seems to be useless, immerse in a repetitive task that is taking nowhere. If he rest of the group decides to go back to the caves he will follow, but not too much to his satisfaction.
We have being on most caves, and even though you might be right and we misses something, so far we are walking in circles. There is a possibility that keeping the same route can take us to our destination, but the same time could be a distracter, and we are wasting valuable time here.
Glancing at Grunni and shrugs.
I am with you Grunni, perhaps it is time to change the strategy or the focus and try this tower. I don’t know. What kind of dangers we can find, who knows, but we are here to do something despite the danger, or else if we seek for secure port we could go back to the shelter of the village. Let’s go for this.
The big man stands and readies to march, either to the caves or searching for this so called tower, though he is not facing the cave’s direction.

Grumni looked puzzled a moment.
"I think of been walking in this sun fer too long, they was hobgoblin zombies not golems." He saind with a grin."
He took a long thoughtful look back the way they come.
"I'm not sure if we've been in all of the caves, I know we haven't gone any further in the opposite direction from the keep, might be there's some more that way instead."
He took a quick look into his pack, checking his stock of supplies.
"I've still got some food I could pass round if one or two of yer need it and some healing supplies too so there's nothing ter pull me back to the keep and I can manage not visiting a tavern a little while longer." He grinned. "Depends on how sure Rand is of finding this tower I guess."

The tower is there. You just have to wait for it. When the moon is high in the sky, it appears.
And I also have some extra trail bread, if any of you are hungry. *looks at Spring*
As far as visiting the keep, it's where I'm going. I'm carrying enough gold and weapons to start an army. I have no intention of fighting anything, other than what gets between me and the Keep.
*trudges along wearily, sacks jingling with coin and looted equipement jangling*
I can meet any of you that are in a hurry to explore the tower, at the tower.

"Aye, provisions is good. I'm thinking the keep first, and then to the tower; if that is the group's plan."

The party is in a large cavern under the wary eye of a dozen or so men, and a few women, in light armor discussing the possibility of contracting some of them for help in digging out the tunnel to the lost dwarven fortress. After a few tense minutes, another dozen or so men and women appear from several passages. One steps forward, dressed a little better,and a little cleaner, than the rest.
So, I understand you are looking for some help with some digging? Perhaps we can come to some arrangement?

Grumni watched the growing group of men and women closely, he didn't like the look or the smell of them. None of them looked to have the hands of men who'd spent time at the coal face to him. He tightened his grip on his mace and prepared to charge at the first sign of trouble.
