Lokdrarlig twirled his urgrosh through the last of the Sviirfs. His spear blade punched a hole through the final gnome's head and caused a literal explosion as brain matter, skull fragments and blood spurted forth from the wound. The Duergar stood unscathed surrounded by mutilated corpses, yet...

Lokdrarlig smiled wryly at the sight of the mage blowing up the ledge that hosted the now deceased gnomes. It relieved him to no end to note that she did not hesitate in the face of danger. Likewise, it helped to have a competent ranged fighter, a weakness he sorely noted in himself. He nodded...

"Understood." The Duergar was not one to mince his words. With the renewed energy and the aches and pains of old age behind him, the figure picked up the pace and moved several paces ahead of the professor to keep point. In the distance, he heard the odd giggle, squeal and cry. He hoped that...

He nodded, it was probably wise she had decided against it. He couldn't blame her really. Lokdrarlig withdrew a small pouch from his back, inside was a murky brown powder. The duergar carefully popped a small bit of the substance under his tongue and waited several moments. The effects were...

As the two pressed on into the caverns, Lokdrarlig was aware of the pregnant silence that had been growing with each passing moment. He grimaced, trying to find the words to excuse his actions in protecting them. "Sorry about that... Among my people, I was a warrior, one of the elites... We're...

What had formerly been a large cavern, set with a bridge and an endless ravine, revealed itself to be yet another narrow corridor - much the same as the ones they had been following for the last two days. Lokdrarlig didn't care. Lokdrarlig's mind, body and soul were tied to violence, to combat...

"Gnomes, evil ones. Mindless, all they care about is violence and misfortune." He paused, stepping behind Syvis momentarily as her shield provided some respite from the darts. "Use illusion magic and potent poisons, pit... This whole cavern could be an illusion for all we know." He glanced...

He was surprised at how long it had taken her to be ready. Lokdrarlig had worked with humans many times during his time above ground and humans, human females, in particular, seemed to take an inexplicably long time when getting ready. He shrugged, it made his life easier. The journey was...

"We'll try to avoid the danger where we can, but just assume every shadow, every noise and every movement is an enemy." His tone was level and moderated. Lokdrarlig had packed all his utensils and camping equipment an hour before and now set contentedly on a rock. A slight hiss and scraping...

Lokdrarlig yawned to himself. The night had proven to be a quiet one, a few tremors in the distance, but thankfully nothing major and they'd been fortunate that no one was traversing this region of the tunnels. It was peaceful and calm. He didn't know whether to celebrate or be concerned. Even...

"Fair enough. I knew a mage once who despised it." He took a moment to himself, his gaze drifting thoughtfully into the blackness. "Aren't many Dwarf mages, but this one was powerful. Trouble is, dwarves, like to work - they like a challenge to." He hadn't considered his friend for a while. The...

"You would not. Want to visit that is, even a mage like yourself would find themselves slaughtered if they ventured anywhere within 20 leagues of a Duergar settlement." His gaze drifted into the fire. The light of the low flame, set against the eternal blackness around them, reminded him of his...

He paused, slurping down the remnants of his stew from the bowl. A small burp escaped his lips and Lokdrarlig paused for a moment in thought at the question. "We left our brethren, the Dwarves, when the other mortal races came along. We didn't trust their new ways and how it affected our...

"Aye, I'll come wit' ye Tonwee and so will our new friend... What was yer name?" He paused, addressing Kala. Lokdrarlig had known she hadn't introduced herself, but he was merely making a point. Whether it was his prejudices coming out or not, Lokdrarlig did not trust the Tiefling and hoped...

He was impressed that Syvis did not baulk at the prospect of eating bugs, nor did she seem too disgusted by his food. Humans, as a whole, had a pretty unrefined palate - something about their tastebuds being not as acute or fine as the other races. Lokdrarlig smiled as he wolfed down his...
