Where to go? What to do?

For the last few days we have been trying to return to the surface and report back to Lord Hugh. Others in the party think this is the right thing to do, plus there are a couple of emissaries from the Frost Dwarves who wish to accompany us in hope of negotiating a alliance with Lord Hugh.

We tried going back the way we came but met up with heavy resistance from Dark Dwarves who are moving back in and fortifying their position near the city. The Frost Dwarves advised us to use an old sending stone to return quickly to the surface. The one catch is that we will be sent to a spot several days from Lord Hugh’s encampment and will need to make our way one the surface.

Personally I would like to hang out around Tennor Fell some more – there seems to be much more we could do here. Our time here has been very rewarding – much more so then anything Lord Hugh has to offer. I have also felt more comfortable here since on the surface I do not think the humans liked us very much. The first thing they did was separate the non-humans into a separate group. Maybe I am reading too much into the situation but on the surface I did not feel as welcome as I have below.

When we return I will get to see if my suspicions are correct. But for now we have traded the dangers of fighting the Dark Dwarves and Drow for the unknown dangers of the surface.

After going to the surface we immediately ran into trouble. Covens, Moon Pools, Blood Knights, and Trolls – it will be an interesting few days till we get back to Lord Hugh, if the humans have managed to survive without us to fight for them. So far the things we have faced on the surface have left us with no rewards. But we have tracked back to what we think is the Trolls Lair maybe we will find something of value there. If not, coming this way really was a mistake.
